Thirty Freshmen Out
About thirty freshmen have reported
for the 1922 team, the most promising
among them being King, Murray, Witt
mer, Winfield and Winton. 1t is as yet
too early to make any prediction about
this team, especially as more candi-
dates are expected to report after the
Christmas recess.
Trimble, last years all-star forward,
is at present in the Naval Aviation
service, while Blue, star guard, has
entered the U. S. Naval Academy.
Parmele, who attracted much attention
by his brilliant playing at forward two
years ago, was already in the servicc
last winter. and is now an ensign.
"Hack" McGraw, of football fame, an
other member of the 1861 team, is
now Major in France, and has been
wounded in action.
Winton, captain of the 1920 fresh
man team and now lieutenant has re-
ceived no less than five wounds. He is
expected back from France in the near
future, but it is not known whether he
will be able to resume athletrs His
teammate, Netts, has been commits
stoned as captain in the infantry.

Willard Declares He Is
Ready to Defend Title
Champion Looks Fit and
in Better Physical Con-
dition Than Had Been
Reported From West
By w. ]. Macbeth

Jess Willard was in Chicago on
flying visit last week. The writer
happened to stumble against him at a
Chicago hotel and was somewhat sur
prised to find that the heavyweight
champion of the world was in far bet
ter physical condition than various re-
ports from the West mad led US to be-
lieve. Willard did not look over twen-
ty or twenty-five pounds heavier than
he was when he fought Frank Moran
in the Garden. Indeed. he stated that
he weighed less than 100 pounds at the
moment.
Willard declared he was ready to de-
fend his championship in at least two
fights early next year. He says he
expects a challenge from Georges
Carpenter when the latter comes to
this country. He also suspects he may
have to give some consideration to the
sensational Jack Dempsey.
Whether or not Willard could ever
get into such shape as he was when he
fought his best battles is a matter still
to be determined. He is old and un-
doubtedly has gone back, but he is far
from a physical wreck, and might get
into shape for battles of ten rounds
or less with two or three months of
hard training.
Nate Lewis Lands Live One
Our old friend Nate Lewis seems to
have landed on a real live one again.
Nate is the manager of Pal Moore, who
gave Jim Wilde, the English fyweight,
the surprise of his life in London re-
Gently. Lewis made the prediction the
day of the fight that Moore would take
the measure of the Englishman. In all
probability Lewis will now go abroad,
as he intended to campaign his boy
through Europe in case of the expected
victory.
Speaking of Willard, those associates
and promoters who staked him when
he was down and out around New York
and developed him into champion are
all sympathizing with Jack Curley and
Tom Jones in the loss of their suit
against the circus manager, because
Curley, more than any one else. was
responsible for Wizards tremendous
business success. Jack not only went
INTO hook to put the big battle over in
Maine-the battle that brought the
heavyweight championship back to the
white race, but he also showed excel
lent judgment in landing him theatri-
cal contracts after Willard had gained
fame, and in two years Willard sue
ceeded in amassing a fortune of nearly
half million dollars, entirely through
Jacks business acumen and ability.

Course at North Shore Club
VIII Test Skill of Golfers

Now that it has been decided def
nitely by the Metropolitan Golf As
sociation that the next open champion
ship of that body will be played over
the links Of the North Shore Country
Club a brief description of the course
would not be out of order, especially
as it is regarded as one of the best
tests of golf in the metropolitan dis
trict.
This is the course that was selected
for the event in 1917, but after war
was declared all championships were
called off. Championships will be re-
sumed again in 1919, and all the clubs
to which the events were assigned two
years ago will stage them next season.
The professionals who played over
the North Shore Country Club course
November IA, in the Professional Golf
ers' Association one-day tourname
for the benefit of the War Work Fund,
spoke in the very highest praise Of the
course
The first hole is 373 yards long with
an easy getaway from the tee, but the
second shot to the green requires very
careful play. 1t is a par hole. as is
also the second hole, of 337 yards, where
the going is more severe. There Is a
long carry over rough and blind trap,
guarding q hidden green, with mounds
all around and woods in the back.
The .hird hole is 476 yards in length,
with large carry-over mounds from
the tee. The second is brassy shot,
and it must be carefully placed to reach
the green on the approach. The par
of this hole is S, although it is oc-
casionally made in a. The fourth, of
482 yards, is also q par hole. 1t is
long, hard hole. A drive of 250 yards,
however, will reach good position for
a brassy shot to the green. The
green is guarded by traps, mounds and
woods to the right, rough and traps
to the left, and mounds back of the
green.
The fifth is a short hole of only 100
yards. The line of play is over a deep
ravine. and it is pretty much all carry
the right by woods and on the left by
traps. Par is 3. and the sixth is another
par hole, of 392 yards, and it is regarded
as the best two shot hole on the course.
A carry of 1870 yads will get a good
lie for an iron shot to a punchbowl
green, which is guarded by bunker
or the left and a long grass hollow on
the right The play is uphill.
The seventh hole of 25S yards Is
merely drive and a pitch, but the
drive has to be well played to avoid an
awkward approach to the green. A
drive of about 200 yards on the eighth
hole OF $50 yards will leave a pitch of
possibly $50 yards over pond to tho
green, which is guarded to the right
and left by traps and a grassy hollow
in the back
The ninth hole of 181 yards. over p
deep ravine, is regarded as one of the
nnest one shot holes on Long Island
II Is heavily trapped to the right and
New-York tribune., 1918-12-16
The summary follows:

left and an over approach to the green
will run down hill 1t is a par 8 hole
and has occasionally been made in 2
but it is sometimes golfers Waterloo
The outward journey is 1920 yard
long, with a par of SO.
The tenth is another short par s.
hole of $50 yards, with the green on
the top of a hill, which slopes down in
every direction from the green. The
line of play is over two roads and a
ravine, it being all carry from tee to
green, which is trapped to the right,
left, front and back.
When The war work tournament was
played over this course November II
Isaac Mackie, Canoe Brook, and
Thomas Hucknall, Morris County, were
not the only competitors who had all
the golf they cared about by the time
they completed the first ten holes.
The eleventh hole of 373 yards is
an elbow hole that is trying on the
nerves. The drive is from the top of
NIL down into q valley, with the
green on the top of another hill. There
| IS plenty of room to the left but the
temptation to shorten the distance bv
playing over the trees on the right is
very great, and while some successfully
get away with it there are others who
are not quite so successful. When one
plays out IN the open to the left it
MAKES the green hard second shot.
There is rather a narrow fajrwav to
the twelfth hole of 800 wards II ;s
drive and pitch, with woods to tho
left. The green is guarded bv a higb
mound Immediately in front of tha
green. e"1
