APPEL WINS FINAL
FOR SQUASH PRIZE
Harvard Club Player Beats E.
j. Clapp Of Yale in
National Final.

John W. Appel, Jr.. of the Harvard
Club yesterday defeated Edwin J. Clapp
of the Yale Club in the flnal OF the
handicap tournament OF the National
Squash Tennis Association at the CO.
lumbia University Club. The score was
1913, 15-3, 15-S.
Appel, who in the second days play
of the tourney set a record for scoring
consecutive points. allowed his oppo-
nent handicap Of points while he
played from minus 10 aces. This liberal
allowance meant that the Harvard
player had to score Is points to win,
while the Yale man had to gather only
IL points However, from the easy
manner In which he defeated his oppo-
nent, the handicap was none too great
for Appel
During tho first game It looked as II
Clapp would prove a stubborn rival.
The Yale player had his opponent on
the jump throughout and was only two
points short OF winning the game. In
the second game, Appel allowed his
rival to add only one point to his allow
ance Of two. while Appel ran Off twenty
one consecutive points.
Clapp's lone tally in this game came
as a result Of an error by Appel OF the
six points collected by Clapp in the
third game four were made through
errors by Appel. This game went eleven
hands, with Appel failing to score in

VARDON'S GOLF IS
BETTER THAN EVER
Made Five Consecutive 2s at
Same Hole Recently; Other
Veterans Strong Too.

The golfing correspondent of the EOa-
don Globe has hid the opportunity Of
discussing with a number Of prominent
players the question as to what the
effects of the last few years will be
upon the golf Of the immediate future.
so far as concerns the veterans" he
says, land in August. 1914. a large pro-
portion of the leading golfers we're over
military age, there is evidence already
that little play and much work have had
beneficial effect on their games. There
can be no doubt that in the old days
many OF them were in a condition Dor
derlng on chronic stalenesS They had
too much golf. I know, for instance,
that Harry Vardon, the worlds cham
pion. feels that he Is in better form than
he has been for long time past. His
rounds have been infrequent, but he has
done some remarkable things at Tot
teridge-not the least interesting of
them having been i've consecutive twos
at the same hole
1T Is a new hole made In the summer,
80 that the course could be adapted for
haymaking, and, although only about
100 yards long. Is difficult because the
green is no more than half its normal
size. The ordinary individual would be
glad to do 1t In two once in a way; to
secure that figure In Ave successive
rounds is unquestionably a record in
matters of this kind.
AT ST. Anne's-on-Sea- Lancashire, last
month. when VardoE appeared In war
fund match. he played golf which was
for all the world like the game that he
was. wont to produce in 1898 and 1899.
when he was incomparably the greatest
golfer in history. Personally. l should
not ne surprised TO see him revive that
standard next season. He is in the right
mood.
james Braid and j. II. Taylor have
been obtaining at the most one round
a week each. but they are fully satisfied
shat nothing has gone wrong with their
golf
Taylor Ia Of opinion that everybody
who has had the fortune to remain M
viii play golf the better for this Austen
tion, or Standardization. from the game
and to none does this apply more par
ticularly than those who have been on
service. The most valuable power that
n golfer can acquire is that OF control
ling the nerves, for In tight match
everything depends upon the nerves be-
ing alert and sensitive and yet under
complete command. The men will come
back from the war with this power
strong In them.
ard OF golf among men who had been in
the army would be higher than before
the war"

PENN MAKES PLEA
FOR SPORT REVIVAL
Asks Intercollegiate Associar.
ton to Show Way in Ath- -.
letic Reorganization.

A plea for tho Intercolle gtate AssociaI
ton of Amateur Athletics OF America TO
show the way In the reorganiza ton OF
intercollegiate sport In this country was
made to that body yesterday In a letter
from the University OF Pennsylvania,
The plea was signed by Roland C. Fem
ner the Pennsylvania athletic represen-
tative. and Ia of especial Significance in
view OF the annual convention Of the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
to be held here on Friday
Pennsylvania wants the big associR-
ton to get busy at once and announce
that II will hold the annual indoor an
well as the championship meet, both OF
which were omitted this year. Action on
the indoor meet must como before the
annual meeting Of the association, which
Is to be held In this city on Saturday,
March 1. II the indoor games are eched-
uled they will have to be held that night.
Penn Indicates, too. that II 10 In the

held the 1917 meet on Franklin Field.
and It is quito likely that Harvard will
be awarded the 1919 competitions The
letter from Penn follows:
To the intercollegiate Association Of
Amateur Athletes Of America:

Is the oldest and strongest organization
VI iNb hlnu III Country So0
believe that 1t should take steps imme.
diately to reorganize intercollegiate corn-
petition and act as a pioneer In reor~
ganizing college athletes?
The University OF Pennsylvania Is
very anxious the I. G. A A. A A. hold
its annual track and field meet this COM
ing year. She believes the annual meet
furnishes the necessary stimulus which
acts as an incentive to really make ath-
letics worth while, and It is not through
a desire to have the games held hero.
Whether the meet Is held at Harvard,
Cornell or elsewhere, Pennsylvania viii
be represented by a whole team, ana
while 1t will probably not be up to tho
pre-war standard. she feels II is the duty
OF every college to get together as good
a team as possible and carry on inter-
collegiate competition.
The University OF Pennsylvania has
maintained throughout tho war practi-
cally all of her athletic teams, and
though badly shattered they have played
their schedules. And to further the in
terest in track athletics, the annual Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania relay carnival
will be held a. usual in April.
I would like to hear from you very
much so as to know what your ideas
