The former Carlisle star would
not make any forecast as to the out

t.ay that 1t would be a fght and
that his charges would be in shape
for it.
The Navy regulars only played
the first half against the Reserves,
and Folwell will devote this week
to hard work pointing the team for
the Georgetown set-to. Although
the Westerners did not furnish
much of a test one thing notable In
connection with the work OF the
middies was that they seem to nave
developed greater speed in the back
field.
They ran all of their plays on

! and Hamilton, both in bucking the
line and starting the wings Tor
substantial gains, was especially
good. These two backs have shown
great improvement within the last
| ten days and are expected to cause
| Georgetown plenty of trouble.

At the end of a golfng campaign
more than one tournament golfer
takes time off to brood over one
break in the luck that made a
vital difference to his happiness
and success in past encounters
There are times even now when
VardoR thinks of that seventeenth
hole at Toledo, where, il his ball
had carried just one footsfarther he
would doubtless today be open
champion OF the United States. One
more foot would have cleared the
brook and left his ball upon the
green with a simple in place of
wrecking 6.
The Case of Rudy Knepper.
And then there is the case of
Rudy Knepper, the Sioux City
youngster. Last summer Knepper
won bis first two matches in the
amateur championship and gave
Bobby Jones a hard fight all the
way.
At Inverness he was good enough
to turn in one 72. He played well
at North Shore in the qualifying
round of the amateur championship
and well enough at the Engineers
until fate collared him at the
short eighth hole.
His tee shot to this battling green
seemed to be well struck. The ball
carried well on line to the pin
only a few feet off. 1t struck the
green on a slope, carromed off-and
what looked to be a good shot one
moment was disaster the next.
For by the time young Knepper
had holed out he had taken eight
strokes-five strokes lost to par or
this one hole. And he missed
Qualifying by a stroke. This 4:
quite enough td make a good young
golfer brood most of the year wher
he begins to think of 1t all oNl
! again.
Then there was the meeting be-
tween Bobby Jones and Chick Evans
at Memphis. They were battling fol

After being 2 down Jones haC
squared the match by spectacular
golf And for the better part of {
breath he had the lead in his <griT

IN WEST VIRGINIA TILT
MANY FAVOR LATER
DATE FOR DERBY

Because so many of the three
year-olds which are rushed in
their preparation for the Ken
lucky Derby fail to accomplish
anything in the later months,
suggestion has been made that
the Kentucky classic be held at
a later date. Many horsemen
will approve of the change. 1t
was particularly noticeable this
year that Paul Jones, On Watch
and others which were hurried In
the spring did not show good
form until autumn. and it is a
matter of record that few win
ners of the Derby have ever
trained on successfully.

how he could possibly take 9 on
