have organized to grade and gravel

New Utrecht Backs
Run Circles Around

Wind, However, Hold
Score to Reasonable Z too

New Utrecht's fast running backfield
ran circles around the heavy Evander
Childs eleven, of the Bronx. at Com
mel cial Field yesterday, but umbles
brought en- by the heavy wind held the
score down to a 10 victory for the
Green and White. Drum, Sehres and
D'Auria broke away for long runs
around the wings in every period,
while the lighter Utrecht line checked
the plunges Of Evander Childs.
The score came in the first pc-iod.
Big Bill Schmultz kicked off to Mani
kin, who ran to midfeld before being
downed. New Utrecht crashed through
for three sucucessive first downs. Then
Sehres hit the line off tackle and, run
ming free, sped fifteen yards for The
score. Drum kicked the goal.
Drum and D'Auria started their
sprinting tactics in the second half.
D'Auria, the diminutive left-halfback,
made two successive end runs o2
thirty-fve yards, but neither helped in
the scoring, due to penalties and fum-
bles.

Tales of a Wayside Tee
GRANTLAND RICE---
Copyright, 1921 New York Tribune Inc

There is still a broad span of golf
ing country between the best of the
males and the best Of the females in
competitive play. {.
Miss Leitch recently proved that at
Pelham, when she turned in an SO
against Jim Barnes and yet found her
self down at match play, and no less
than fifteen strokes away at medal play
1t might be argued, of course, that a
6S over Pelham was an abnormal pace.
This is true. But it is still proof as to
how far star male golfer can lead a
female opponent, even when the latter
is playing around her top speed.
Not that an SO won't stop any number
of males, even among those ranked we'll
out of the du'fcr class.
But against the best that male can
Go it is well away.
By Averages
Miss Ieitch without question is the
best woman golfer in the world.
If her average score was taken over
good average courses it would be no
better than 80.
She would have her 79s and occa-
sionally her 76s. But there would also
be her occasional 85s and 83s.
Elghty-tWO as an average Is nothing
to feel downcast about over testing
course.
Yet George Duncan and Abe Mitchell
averaged around 72 over an almost end
less string of courses, which gives them
something like a ten-stroke margin in
medal play over the best of the women
golfers.
The Advantage
Wherein does the main advantage lie {?
In comparing, for one example, jim
Barnes and Miss Leitch, we find the nd
vantage is general one in every de-
partment of the game.
He is longer from the tee and straight
er. He is better with the long irons
and the mashie shots. He is better Just
off the green and a surer, much better
putter.
His main advantage rests in the more
consistent use of every club in the bag
Probably there is less advantage off the
tee than anywhere else, as Miss neitch
is long hitter, who is generally down
the course.
The fact that Barnes can get from 40
to 40 yards more is vast assistance, but
not crushing factor,
ne TACT that after getting this advan-
tagc ne can continue to pile up other
advantages gives him the distinct SUI
periorlty shown in comparative scores.

The Quarterback Supply

The quarterback supply this is record
breaker The crop is the best grown in many years.
lncMillin, of Centre; OHearn, Of Yale; Loure, of
Princeton Kilnger, of Penn State, and Holoran, Of
Pittsburgh, FIVE who have put forward wonderful
displays Of talent.
Kiliinger is of the greatest running quarter
backs in the game, marvel at advancing the ball
through the line or the open field.
OHearn, of Yale, is another star who is also Of
the best punters in the country.
McMin, Of Centre, is not only great running
back but also star upon Defense the best defensive
man of the entire group. His generalship is also be-
yond criticism.

Joet Hutchison at ST. Andrews and

Even Barnes and Hagen, two of the
steadiest we have, have shown how i'm

IT Barnes had faced Miss Leitch lust
after he had finished some hard tourna-
ment, her 80 (Which included two 7s)
with six bisques would have been good
erough to get her by. But following
his rest after the last Western trip
Barnes came back and broke course
records at Arcola and Pelham. Cencern-

We doubt very much that there are three
amateurs IN the country who could give
Miss Leltch this start and have anv
hope of winning majority of matches.
For they would need something around
72 or 73 to barely drift by. and these
scores are not made easy too often un-
