COST OF GOLF
COURSE STOPS
EVENHARVARD
Would Be Severe
Drain OF, a Strong
Treasury.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, N. Y, Dec. 21.-Ex-
pense has become a burning ques-
ton in regard to many athletic
sports and it is little wonder that
football schedules now being
planned by various institutions are
being considered with one eye on
the possible gate receipts.
An example Of the influence of
expense is seen in the refusal Of
the Harvard Athletic committee to
sanction the laying out of a Har-
ward golf course. There was not a
great deal of surprise over this de-
cision for even in these days of ire
mendous football revenues, the
purchase of necessary land and the
construction of a golf course
would be a pretty severe drain on
any athletic treasury. This is not
in any way a reflection on the
great game of golf, but merely a
recognition of the amount of space
and money involved in a proper
course in these days when a pri-
vate individual is compelled to pay
from $4,000 to 81 900 a year for the
privilege of playing.
! The extent of tennis costs also
has been fully recognized by the
United States Lawn Tennis asso-
citation. The executive committee
of the association has guaranteed
the West Side Tennis club at least
one big tournament event each
year for 10 years in order to meet
the expense of a new tennis sta
dunn at Forest Hills Wimbledon
near London, has always been The
mecca of tennis, and sporting pill
grimages were incomplete without q
visit to the remarkable Enclosure
But Forest Hills has developed a
plan quite up to the Wimbledon
standard in the projected new sta.
dunn.

Stanford and Pitt Aggregations Are
Both Pr0teges Of Instructor

Stanford university, Cal, Dec. II.

Stanford University, Cal, Dec. Fl.
Football fans will have an oppor-
tunity to compare the strength of
eastern and western college eley-
Ems when the University of Pitts
burg meets Stanford university IN
the big stadium here Dec. 30.
The Painters of Pitt are coming
west with a high eastern rating,
having defeated the powerful teams
of Penn State, Washington and JEFF
ferson and Pennsylvania by scores
of 14-O, 1910 and TO, respectively.
Two early season defeats by Lafay-
cite and West Virginia are the only
blemishes on the Pitt record this
year.
Stanford, while not the Pacific
coast champion, is strong eleven
and is getting stronger with each
game. In the game here against the
champion University Of California
team, Stanford lost, % to 0, and
fans will use this score in compar-
ing the strength of Pittsburgh and
California, which has a scoring ma
chine that ranks high in the nation.
In the Stanford-Pitt game Glenn
Warner, noted eastern football
coach, who led the Carlisle Indians
to gridiron glory, will be playing
his right hand against his left. He
is the Pitt coach and also has gen.
eral charge of the Stanford coach
ing system. Both teams will be
products of the Warner system.
Warner, who has been coaching
Pitt several years, was asked las1
spring to come to Stanford to take
charge of team which had chang
ed coaches three times in the pre-
ceding three years. He could no
come at once, on account of hi.
Pittsburgh contract, which expires
next year, SO sent out two lieuten
ants, Andy Kerr, his assistant a
Pitt, and "Tiny" Thornhill, forme'
line coach at Centre college. Thes'
two Stanford coaches have beef
working with the full advice ant
consent of Warner and will turf
over the reins to their chief wheI
he comes out in 1924.

New York, Dec. 21.-In line with
the growing participation of the
colleges of the south in national
intercollegiate athletics, it was
learned today that very definite
project is on foot to induce the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic associa-
ton to hold its 1928 convention in
Atlanta. There is every reason why
this representative body should ac-
cede to the Forthcoming request
and not single good reason why
it should be denied. 1t would be a
great thing for the south and in the
way Of consolidating our national
system of college sports, results
would surely be noteworthy.
The south in the past three or
four years has made rapid strides
in athletics and this progress is
due in large measure to intersec-
tional contests with eastern and
western teams in football, base
ball, basketball and of more recent
date to the national collegiate ath-
Ietic association track and field
meet held for the past two years at
the University of Chicago. In base
! ball and in fotball, Dixie outfits
have earned respect at home and
abroad.
Athletes in the south are con.
stantly reading of Stage, Yost
Fisher, Camp, Dobie. Bezdek, Tad
Jones, Bob Fisher, Pooch Dono
van, Keene Fitzpatrick, Knut;
Rockne and a whole galaxy o.
names which stand for the bigges
and best jn Intercollegiate sport
But the men themselves and theil
personalities are absolutely un
known in the south. Their pres
ence, even once, in a center of in
Itercollegiate sport such as Atlant;
would make them living persons
as opposed to mere newspaper fig
ures to those who are carrying for
ward the torch Of amateur sport il
the southland.
The Southern intercollegiate
conference and the Southern Inter
collegiate association, which EN-
; braces all the southern states, ex
cept Texas. have not neglected t
keep athletics on a high plan
through the freshman rule, the rul
: against migratory athletes an
other restrictions, while constan
and earnest efforts are made
curb professionalism in baseball
The writer quite concurs with d.
J. B. Crenshaw, director of athle,
les at Georgia Tech, when he state
that the south is contributing il
full quota of brains and Drawn an
spirit toward making of sports
living and elevating influence
the lives Of young and old.

Dublin, June 19 (By the A.

Nevertheless at the headouar- ters of the republicans it was declared that the republicans did not count on a diminution in their strength by more than fifteen members of parliament. The most pesslmistic estimate there was for. ty republican members in the Dali.

The Hague. June 1s (By the A. P.)- Frances decision to cooperate with the other European powers in the forthcom- ing negotiations with the Russian soviet had a buoyant influence on the confer ence here today. Arrangements for the meeting with the bolsheviki were ad- vanced by the formation of three sub commissions. In accordance with the Genoa agreement the names of the coun- tries represented on the various sub commissions will be communicated to Moscow tomorrow.
 Frances adherence. which was off, cislly announced at today's session by M Benoist, is not without reservation, however. The French minister read a letter saying that he had been instruct ed by his government to make known that France would be represented at the meeting on June 26 with the I:assians and then added: Tn authorizing me to make this notification. the French gov srnment desires to recall that this meet ing Is merely a reunion of experts ad referendum; that all political questions will be eliminated from the negotia- lions. and that France retains her lib- erty to withdraw her experts at any moment G the attitude of the soviet representatives appears to rendar necessary.

 A RETAIL SALES TAX


 Cincinnati June 19 (By the A. P,).- Opposition to a retail sales tax, with a warning that effort can be expected to have it written into the soldier bonus bill. and the re-declaration of a policy opposed to unrestricted immigration marked the action today of the American Federation of Labor convention as it set tied down to its final weeks work
 Administration of the federal budget law was brought before the convention by the legislative committee report asserting that the budget administrators have rrostituted the high purpose of the budget system by using it for political Propa- ganda." The committee, however, de- clared in favor of a Satisfactory budget system" and its report was adopted with the proposition instructlng the fedora tion's executive council to use every ."ef- fort to correct glaring administrative de- fects which are operating to the disad- vantage of the present budget system"
 Special complaint was made by the committee that administrators of the budget had been overzealous in reducing expenditures of the department of labor. Aside from the convention work, interest was centered in a movement to contest the reelection of Frank Morrison as sec retary of the federation. Friends of Will liam Clarke, president of the glass work CTS, were active among the delegates and Mir. sClarke indicated his willingness to make the race.
 Another development outside the con vention was the meeting tonight of the federations special policy committee with a number of lawyers who were called here from various parts of the country tc guide the committee in drafting a pro- gram for combating the supreme court s recent decision in the Coronado coal case which held labor unions liable to dam. ages under the Sherman antitrust law.

France was ready to cooperate in the most complete and frank manner on all practical problems in order to reach some agreement with Russia.
 All the inviting powers and Holland have a place on each sub-commission
 except that on credits. Holland having declined membership on that commission,
 thus leaving a place for one additional state. This was with the understanding that Dutch interests would be amply protected in case they arose during the forthcoming discussions.
 President Van Karnebeek announced
 that all the countries. represented at The Hague with the exception of Albania had decided to have delegates on the central
 non Russian commission, each country
 being represented by not more than two persons. He recommended that the cen
 tral commission should meet to consider
 certain directing principles" before the
 arrival of the Russians. It would in his
 opinion be useful also if the president
 of the central commission and the pres | idents of the three sub-commissions
 should form kind of central committee
 to @sure unity of work and progress
 This suggestion was, adopted.
 After declaring that Frances definite
 adhesion was happy augury, Sir PhiliT
 Lloyd-Greanle, of the British delegation warmly congratulated Jonkher ! Van
 Karnebeek on "his inspiring leadership. l He realized that the Dutch foreign min isters political position at home made

 The telegram from the Manchurian as semblies stated that, while Manchuria en- joys government, it nevertheless was willing to join in the program for unification.
 Advices from Canton, made public by the Picking government. declared that Sun Tat Set, former president of South China, although still unconvinced of his defeat, had been entirely eliminated from the field of Chinese politics and that General Chen Chung Ming, arden pro- ponent of the unification movement, was in complete control of the former south China capital.
