 At This Early Date
By LAWRENCE FERRY tCopyright, 1921, by The Age-He

New York, May 4-Just a glance at football prospects out west, following spring practice. Michigan, the writer ence teams. Eighty candidates for the 1921 eleven have been practcng. Among them was Kirk of Notre Dame, trans fer, who will be eligible this year. He is wonderful back. Another ball car Tier is Kipka, Lansing High school pro- duct, who promises to be one of the fast est and shiftiest back field men in the west The omnipresent Steketee is back at full and should have his best year, The Maize and Blue, however, is mourn ing the loss of some SO-odd star athletes through deficient scholarship in the spring test.
 OTHER TEAMS
 Notre Dame will have another big eleven this year. Mohardt, who was Glpp's travelling companion last season Will likely prove to be a sensation. The teams of the Ohio conference will be worth watching. Big elevens who ex- rect easy picking at the expense of Will liamsburg, the University, of Cincinnati and others of the F institutions in the Buckeye system, may be surprised Chi cago has a fine foundation for next fall and expects to make things interesting for Princeton.
 TIGERS. BE WARNED
 Nearer New York this may be said of Penn State Harvard had better look out for her. So had Georgia Tech Syra- cuse will be strong if she doesn't lose Culver and Clash, who, it is said, have been the recipients of a siren call from the University of California. At least this is the talk at Scott High school, Toledo, where the two Syracusans prepped. By the way. any eastern school team in search of high-class intersec- tional opposition should not overlook Scott High, which has lost only six games in 21 years. Dwyer, formerly of Pennsylvania, is the coach
 GOLF FORM ABROAD ] No golfer is surprised that Miss Alexia 1 Sterling should have been defeated in the journeys played in England just from climatic standpoint, while playing con- ditions must have also figured The thing that has interested American opponents of the ancient and honorable game is the low scores the British players Miss Sterling included-have been turning in At Burhall, for example Miss Janet Jackson of Ireland won, turning in a card of 7s-S0. Miss Sterling did S1 and | 80 and at Ramelagh she did B and 72 She is a fine golfer, of course, but she has never gone over regular American courses at 80. Yet in England she is going under anything she has done here This would be a source of delight as well as surprise were not the British women doing even a bit better.

 SHORT PUTTS
 | It would be interesting to see the Brit ish try out the floater ball. which they wish to make standard, in some big tourney when the wind Is blowing. Il they can do much then under such con ditions, then our hats are off
 Joe Kirkwood, Australian title holder who Is now In England. will probably daze the Britishers with his trick shots, They say that blindfoided he will play a ball off the top of watch. Also off the toe of a mans shoe. He also does to per lection Tom Andersons stymie stunt placing six balls In row. and beginning with the sixth. jump each ball over the others into the hole. He can also play his ball in the toughest rough spot and get out with a 2o0-yard brassie drive. Now, if some day he will learn never to put his ball in a rough place, which seems a harder trick than any he has learned, he way be the greatest pro of them all.
 The other afternoon, as the writer drove with midiron, a motor truck came up the road 100 yards from the place of the driver. The ball went Into the vehicle and the chauffeur never stoDped the car.
