STUDYING

Great Lakes, Ill.,, Oct. 2s.-Coach
Herman Olcott. chauffeur of the Great
Lakes football tank, is straining his
eyes to find the alleged silver lining
Of the dark clouds that are sailing
over the sailors big athletic field
these days. ST.
Recent happenings on the navy
gridiron are enough to sing the vari-
| Gus "blues" to any coach. Olcott at
one sweep lost a crack end. a fullback
and a. crashing halfback. Injuries cut
in to shelve another halfback and his
| quarterback, not to mention minor
hurts to a couple of husky linemen.
Lost for all times are Roscoe Min
ton, the rushing end from the Univer-
sity of Indiana, who has Been operat-
| ing along the right flank of Olcott's
machine his Minton was the
t "a of the Iowa game and was rated
one of the best pieces of football brio
a-brac in the squad.
Together with Leland M~endenhall
whose alma mater is Iowa, he is SHOW
ing off for Dunwoody institute al
Minneapolis to pick up the fine art OF
naval aviation. Mendenhalls absence
leaves a hole in the backtield.
The third to bid goodbye is Pau
Dobson, captain-eIect of Nebraska
and fullback understudy on the sta
ton team. He too aspires to all
service and will continue his studies
at Boston Tech.
On the hospital list is Harry Eielson
halfback, and Jimmy Councilman
quarter. Eielson's knees are bother
ing him considerably. Councilman
turned an ankle in Scrimmage.

HARDER WORN THAN BASEBALL

Cleveland. Oct. 2S:-Brains and
nerves are the chief requisites of an
officer in the American army, accord
ing to William Wambsganss. former
Cleveland infielder, now attending a
training camp at Camp Gordon,
Georgia. \
II am glad Uncle Sam grabbed me
when he did, said Wamby, who
came here on a ten day furlough to
see his new baby daughter. Training
at Camp Gordon for a commission is
harder work than playing baseball.
but II is worth it and I have been
promised a chance with a regiment
going TO France soon if I win my COM
mission.
Zone of our officers who has been
in France says that to be a successful
officer a man must haveN five per cent
brains and ~ninety-five per cent nerve.
I am sure 1 can qualify so far as the
nerve is concerned"

TO CHANGE JAVLINS.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Revision of the
present style of construction Of the
standard javlin. used in all champion
ship games, will be proposed at the
annual meeting of the National A. A.
U. at Philadelphia on November IS
by Martin A. Delaney, physical di-
rector of the Chicago Athletic associ-
alton, an authority on the subject.
The steel nose on the javlin as now
constructed is easily broken, and Mr..
Delaney will submit a design of his
own for adoption. His plan is to eA-
tend the steel covering a few inches
up the pole from the metal tip. This
brace, he believes, will prevent the
loss of many %javlins, the wood for
which is more difficult to obtain as
the better grade of wood is in sharp
demand for airplane building.
1.-The present javlin is entirely too
frail and too easily broken" Mr..
Delaney said. Sometimes as many
as three or four are broken in prac-
tice trials. I am convinced my de
sign will stop this waste"

GOLF PLAYERS MAKE
HOLE IN ONE STROKE

Chicago, Oct 2S.-while every
golfer knows that to make a hole in
stroke is a mere gamble, it has
remained for a professional to dem-
onstrate the law of chance in these
to be substantially n in co.
900. tho figures offered by Lloyds OF
London, who insure almost anything
on the ratio established as likely to
come about by mathematical calcula-
ton.
Robert tombstone, professional at
the Seattle Golf club, recently made
q hole in one for the second time in
his "a years on the links. The only
other time that tombstone ave made
q hole in one stroke was at the old
Preside course at San Francisco in
. 1901, q e a after he came from Scot
land. On hat occasion he used an
old gutta-percha ball.
Johnstone has been playing golf
since ne was 10 ears of age. SO he
had played about 17syears before he
obtained his one at the Preside course
and seventeen years elapsed between
that one-shotter- and the second.
Johnstone figures that he has aver-
aged about IS holes a day, year in and
year out, for seventeen years. At
that rate he played in that time $780,

average of three holes to each round
on the links as he played where it
was possible to make a hole in one,
and this would mean that in seventeen
years, at an average round a day, he
would have played 1855 short holes.
Probably the most remarkable hole
in one~was made by Ned Allis of Mil
waukee a few years g in the west
ern amateur championship at the
Flossmoor club, Chicago. He holed
his drive on the 800 yard Did first
hole, the ball having to carry owe a
deep valley, ascend a hill and raverse
a sloping green. The chances to re-
peat such a performance have not
been figured out by Lloyds.
Among the proofs that luck and not
skill allows a hole to be made in one
stroke, no matter how short, is the
fact that Harry Warden, British pro-
fessional. and Charles Evans, Jr.,
American amateur and open cham
