Proving Their Title,


An incident far off the beaten
path took place last season when a
small college, almost unknown in a
football way, meeting but one or
two strong opponents yet registered
two members upon the Consensus
All-American eleven.
This college is Centre-habitat.
Danyille, Ky.-and the two all-stars
were Quarter Back McMilIin and
Center Rush Weaver.
On Saturday this same college
and those two stars, among others,
will step forth into the whittier glare
of inspection by facing Harvard in
the stadium.
1t will be a rasping test-not only
for Harvard-but for McMillin,
Weaver, and Centre in general.
Few leading critics had the chance
to see Centre play last year. On
Saturday they will swarm to the
stadium from many centers where
the thirst for football information
and football thrills is almost as

THE brutality of boxing has been an
/ overplayed institution. Most box
;rv matches are not even rough. The
game has suffered mainly from the in
ability of SO many promoters, managers
and fighters to understand why any
snort should be upon the level. That
viewpoint, too, can be corrected in time.
THERE is also such thing as over
l trying. Babe Ruth may feel it in
eumbent upon his high priced fame to
deliver $4,000 or $4,000 worth Of
home runs every day, and in that case
he NAV begin to skid. Living up to
Sf25, 900 worth of reputation is no
spongy affair.
yIOU may recall how long it, took
/ "Rube' Marquard to live down his
s11 900 reputation and get started
again. And the same overadvertised
fate overlook Marty O'I'oole, of now

Golf Ball on Track,
Conductor Stops Train
and WOnrar, Makes Shot

Pinehurst, N. c., Jan. 26.--The
respect in which golf is held in this
community was demonstrated by u
somewhat amusing but quite un-
usual incident in tournament
last week, in which the Silver
Foils, the organization of women
players, were participants.
A railroad track runs along to
the left of the first fairway of
course No. .. One of u pair of
players, Of which Mrs. Francis L.
Keating, of Spring Lake, N. j.,
was one, drove and hooked her ball
to the railroad track. 1t bounded
over the rail and lodged in the sand
between ties and between rails.
A train was coming along at the
time, and the woman who drove
the ball stopped near the track and
waited for it to pass. The gallant
conductor, however, who was
standing on the steps of a coach
and saw the shot and the player
waiting, stepped up on the plat
form, yanked the rope and the
train came to a stop. He held it
until the fair golfer played the
shot, and in response to her
Thank you, very much" he lifted
his cap and replied, "Not at all
lady," Then he pulled the rope
again, and the train went on.

invade. They will doubtless have more
offers for engagements than they will
be able to handle. in the way Of exhi-
bition matches and things. but it is
hoped that some of the progressive local
clubs will get in early enough to seize
one of the chances.
Many fans remember the day that
Vardon and Ray played the Nichols
brothers out at Whitemursn. There
was a tremendous gallery there all day
and the play made big hit.
Locals now regret all the more that
the open championship was not bid for
by Philadelphia, as the event this year,
which was due here, promises to be the
greatest ever. Another Ouimet may be
made overnight, quien sabe, as the fell
low says. But the event will be played
in far off Ohio. At that, number of
fans discuss the chances of making
the trip.
Plenty OF Action
There will be good deal going for
ward, anyhow, in Philadelphia next
season for those who like to study the
play of the golfers with a reputation.
The Lesley cup events will draw
throngs and the eastern stars of the
fair sex will compete at the Cricket
Club, also in the Griscom team matches
and Tor the eastern championship.
In connection with the Griscom cup
matches, there now comes the proposal
that the intercity matches between New
York and Philadelphia could appro-
priately be played in conjunction with
the above mentioned event.
Philadelphia $ share of the intercitv
is the mixed foursolne. The stars OF
New York and Philadelphia women
golfers would all be present and New
Iork's men golfers would doubtlcs
thoroughly enjoy chance to play
at that time and could easily be per
suaded to enter at this time.
The executive committee of the To-
cal golf association has decided that
the womens committee should more
properly handle the petition presented
for the play. 1t is proposed that part
ners be chosen the same as in other
mixed foursomcs and the matter of ar
ranging the match is thus made very
easy and sans complications.

At tho top of the back swing. when the
