Golf Champ to
Invade Coast
Barnes and Hutchison to Play
In Southern States During
Winter Months.

New York, Dec. 3.-Jim Barnes,
national open champion, and Jock
Hutchison, holder of the British
open title, have completed their plans
for their winter tour of the Pacific
coast, which will wind up with a
swing around the southern states
that will keep them busy until the
season opens in the north once more.
The two most famous professionals
Of the golhng world today should
enjoy an unprecedentedly successful
winter, financially and otherwise,
since California and the Pacific
northwest just now are golf mad
and the golfers of that section will
welcome the opportunity to see them
in action.
Barnes will leave New York on
December 8, picking up Hutchison
on the way. They will proceed
leisurely to the coast, having 10 days
before their first engagement in
Vancouver on December II. Two
days later they will play at Victoria
and then will start southwark
through the Pacific coast states,
playing first at Seattle and Tacoma.
1t is planned by the two chanl-
pions that they will spend the whole
month of January on the California
courses. Just which clubs will be
played is not known at present, for
the. detailed itinerary has not been
completed, but they will not lack for

Consider such trifling matters as

such games this year, will, the Army
and with Princeton, although the
charge for the West Point battle
was only 81 per spectator.
The total thus collected in two
games by the Eli athletic authori-
ties runs up to $4,000. Add to
this the amount gathered up in the
Harvard and Princeton contests,
probably close to $300,00O more, and
such trifling gates as were collected
for preliminary fights, and it will
be seen that one Of the Big Three's
teams plays to total paid admissions

A fast, husky, shifty quartet OF

The f6ursomc which appears to have

backheld is composed of Hull OF
Hastings college as pilot, McKelvey
of Chadron at right half, krummer
Of Kearney at left half and Buck of
Doane at fullback.
Hull, as engineer of the Hastings
team, has been the dynamo of the
Broncho aggregation. Without Hull
there would have been sparse Hast
ings aggregation. His headwork has
been the guiding star OF the Bron-
cho team the past two seasons and

Krummer in Backfeld.,
Krummer Of Kearney, fullback on
the Antelope squadron, is another
player who stands head and shoulders
above his teammates. Krummer' swork
against Cotner, which won for the
Antelopes a hard fought battle by
three points when the Kearney full
back booted field goal, gives All
idea of the westerner's capabilities.
Krummer shows up well on drop
kicking, placekicking, punting, pass
ing and in general plays a heady
game. The Antelope is therefore
awarded an important place on the
"All-Statc."
A hard fighting, line-plunging,
speedy, shifty, all-round player in
the capacity of Buck Of Doane has
been selected for the fullback job.
Buck has been a headliner for the
Tigers the past two seasons and this
year with Corey has been the back

his line work have been the best in

was the main cause of Beloit's VIC
tory over Northwestern early in the
season. Lyman Of Nebraska, Shaw.
Notre Dame, Ward, Millikin; Ling
enfelter of Ames; Schm:1 Kansas
Aggies; Blumer, Missouri, and
Strickland of Lombard were other
good tackles Of the year.
Pucelik of Nebraska, who played
a whale sof a game against Pitts
burgh and performed consistently
throughout the season, is placed at
left guard. The Cornhusker has
! everything which goes to make a
great lineman. He is tall, rangy
and fast. He vav;es his charges con
tinually and has enough strength to
withstand a charge if opponents
beat him to the effort. He opened
holes in all games in a pleasing man
ner and mixed in every rlay.
| Mcnamara of Detroit, H. Ander-
son of Notre Dame, Hahn, Kansas
Aggies; Jones Of Kansas and Nor
rison Of Ames were other excellent
guards.
Lauer Presses Fullback Locke.
LATER of Detroit was a great full
back and is placed upon the second
eleven. This player will be remem-
bered as being a member Of the
Great Lakes eleven in 1918. He is
an excellent punter and carries the
triple threat OF run, kick or pass. He
is the nearest approach to Locke Of
Iowa in all-around play, and right
fully is entitled to a position on the
second eleven.
Lincoln of Missouri was another
great fullback, and is placed on the
third eleven. Hartley of Nebraska,
Wynnc and Castner of Notre Dame
| and Swateck Of Oklahoma were
other reliable performers in the
position.
Although there was no quarter
back who approached Aubrey De-
vine of Iowa in general all-around
play and value to foot ball team,
Lewis Of Missouri, McKenna of De-
troit, Wilson of Kansas, Niggemeyer
of Drake and Mccarthy OF St. Via
tors are deserving OF mention.
How Could You Stop These7
Eight institutions are represented
on the first eleven, which could be
given close and open attack which
would be hard to stop. E. Anderson
and Crisler would be ideal receivers
of forward passes tossed by either
A. Devine or Mohardt. Elliott
could be used to drive off the
tackles and A. Dcvine and Mohardt
to run the ends. Locke, supported
by powerful line, would be sure to
make short gains for first downs.
Mohardt or A. Devine could alter
nate in punting, while there would
be little question Of the defensive
strength of the eleven.
Cyril Myers OF Ohio State is
made captain of the second eleven
and Lewis of Missouri leader OF the
third team.

ing Them With Water
When Not Warm.

While many reforms have been
introduced by the various boxing
commissions throughout the country
for the bettermcnt of the game, It Is
surprising that the incompetent see
ond has been overlooked.
How often have you seen one OF
those pinheads destroy boys
chances in the very first round by
some bone-headed play? Doubtless
you have sat in and watched some
ow those dumbbells perform and
wished that you could take a sock al
one Of them with the soft side OF
Louisville slugger.
Have You Ever Seen This'
While on the subject, how often
have you seen a boxer step out at
the bell and prance through the first
round without getting warmed to his
work, only TO return to his corner
and have his coach dousc him with
pail OF water. chilling him to the
bone and practically driving him cut
Of the running?
The dousing such an unfortunate
boxer is subjected to renders him vir-N
tually helpless for several rounds,
and in most cases he is beaten before
he starts. through the senseless
handling OF an incompetent coach.
1t must not be taken that all sec.
onds are incompetent. On the con-
trary. we have seen the experienced
fellow, who knows his business. keep
his boy up there under the most try
ing conditions. with careful hand
ling. The experienced handler is
big help TO his charge, with his sound
advice in the corner You never
find him dousing his boy except in
extreme cases, where the boxer re-
quires some brisk attention.
Fat-Headed Advisers.
Then again you have listened to
the silly advice yelled by an incom-
petcnt second to his boy, while the
latter. is probably on the receiving
end of every other punch. You have
heard his Work hard, kid" "Punch
with him." Don't let him set" and
other silly prattle, when as matter
of fact his boy ought to be retreat
ing under the fire to reserve his
strength for the other attacks to
come.
The contrast between the COM
petent and incompetent handler is
severe in most cases. You have mo-
ticed, no doubt, the nursing boxer
receives from the fellow who knows.
How he will smooth his boys
bruised parts while he pours cautious
words into his ears, and you have
seen many an apparently beaten
batter respond to the treatment, step
out and win when things appeared
lost.
Too Few Of Right Kind.
There are altogether too few COM
petent seconds or coaches in the
boxing game and there is plenty of
room for improvement along that
branch Of the pastime. Something
should be done to get rid OF those
incompetents who inflict themselves
on the unfortunate boxers. There
Is place for these fellows. and that
is right outside of the breastworks,
where they can do no harm. Let's
get rid of them.
