This is a fault new to Mcleod, as
most golfers know him. and may be
due to car.leSsness Certainly the
men who have played with him day
in and day out at Columbia know
when he is careful there is not a bet
ter mashie player in the country.
Not Too SmnII to Win.
The old saying that the little man.
good as he may be. cannot hold his
own with the good big man. is. need
less to say. utterly disproEed in golf.
where Drawn and muscle is more than
apt to De a handicap than otherwise.
Therefore. there is nothing on the
physical side of the 120-pound pro
from Columbia to hold him back from
attaining the heights.
If ever club members pulled for a
professional to win an event. the
Club are pulling for Mcleod to an
mex this years open.
As for his past performances. Nc
Leod is entitled to very serious con-
sideration. notwithstanding the fine
field that will gather at Columbia in
July. by his notable list of wins over
all courses. north and south. The
little Columbia pro won the open
championship of the United States in
1908. over the Myopia course, after a

Take Harvard as typical of the
big universities which have trouble
making both ends meet. 1t generally
is believed that the Crimson has all
cares whatsoever of a financial ma.
ture. In reality, Harvard is support
ing so many teams in different
branches Of athletics that despite the
ball. the athletic association is fin
ishing this year with deficit.
Smaller Colleges Hard Hit.
AS an instance of the smaller uni
versity. consider Virginia, Maryland,
Hopkins or any institution of this
size athletically. Virginia has had
hard time making its resources do
and Virginia is more sane in its
sports development than either Mary
land or Hopkins. Hopkins affords a
good example of an institution with
it carrying. Maryland also is doing
more than it should.
Small colleges. averaging in stu
dents from 100 to 800. are trying to
keep pace with larger institutions in
their territories and consequently al
how to finance their sports program.
Institutions like Maryland and
Virginia try to follow the lead OF
Harvard and Yale, and consequently
never are IN position financially W
accomplish what they desire. havirc.,
much smaller resources. Incomes at
Maryland and Virginia probably are
not more than Is per cent OF
what Harvard gets to run it's athlet-

with schools like Georgetown. Vir-
ginia. Maryland and Catholic Univer-
sity, and consequently are in hot
water" financially about half the
time.
Intercollegiate athletics is expen-
sive. especially when it involves a big
program in many branches of sports.
The cost of equipment, guarantees for
all sports except foot ball and the nu-
merous other expenses incidental to
running athletics, such as expenses
for treatment of injuries. for instance.
reach astonishingly high figures in
some institutions. At the University
of Maryland, as an example. the treat
ment of injuries incurred in various
games last year involved expenditures
aggregating more than $500. In the
last few days at that institution one
sport has produced. badly split scalp.
broken arm and broken jaw. all
of which run into real money when
the expenses have to come out Of the
same treasury.

Tilden. whose home is in Philadel-
phia. points out that at the German
town Cricket Club. where the ma.
tional championship tourney will be
held this year. at least $4,000 will be
spent on keeping the turf in shape.
A grass court must be absolutely
flawless for championship play. and
to achieve this every inch must be
hand worked and scrutinized under q
microscope.
Few Play ON Grass.
Turf courts are easier to play on
than the hard surface. the clay and
asphalt giving the players. rackets
and balls greater wear and tear than
the grass. But the hard courts are
representative of tennis in a national
sense. as few of the players. even
among the topnotchers, have the ex-
perience of playing on turf in any
except the larger Journeys.
On the Pacific coast, California
Washington and Oregon have either
asphalt. clay or composition courts
tournaments are played William
Johnston and Maurice McLoughlin
both former national singles cham
pions from California, are products Of
the asphalt courts. 1t is only across
the frontier of Canada and on private
estates of the Pacific coast states
that the grass court is to be found.
After the initial cost of laying an
asphalt court there is practically no
cost for upkeep other than that of
occasionally renewing the markings
of the lines. A perfectly smooth sur
face is obtained. SO that there is no
chance of any irregularity, thus guar
anteeing an absolutely true rebound
o0the ball.
A Real Turf Court.
Tilden stated that the finest grass
court he ever had played on was the
one in Auckland, on which the Davis
cup series was played.
1t seems that a wealthy Aucklander
Of the name of A Gardner was the
owner of a remarkably perfect piece
of turf on his estate. In order that
the Davis cup players might have the
benefit of it. this turf was cut into
small squares and transplanted and
transported a distance of seven miles
to the site of the place of play. Here
it was tended and watered for weeks
prior to the arrival of the Americans
At no time was anybody allowed to
play on it, and it was not until the
contestants themselves set foot on it
that anybody but the gardeners in
attendance trod the precious bit of
green.

There is not the slightest use in

with another score in that ne;ghbor-

in the world a merry chase. For
three years Mcleod has been romp-
ing around the Columbia course in
scores from 81 to T6, and the bulk
of his scores have been well below
the latter figure. -
However, Mcleod admits he has de-
veloped in the past three months one
fault that must be corrected. He says
that in the south during the ,tourna-
