Lack OF Coordination
Troubled Willie Hoppe

Hoppe said after the game that there
was nothing the matter with his arm,
but that the trouble was lack of CO.
ordination and that caused him 70
tighten up when about to make a shot.
He said he thought Schaefer, seeing
Hoppe's condition early in the game,
made mistake in playing so much
safety.
"He should have gone after every
thing" said Willie. "But as it was, he
played so much safety that he let me
get started again. The. critical point
of the game was when I was working
on the balls to get them going for my
next to last run. / was behind then,
and If hadn't got going then he'd
probably have beaten me. That long
run decided the outcome"
Hoppe will go on an exhibition tour
soon, He said he hadn't decided yet
whether or not he would play in an
other championship. He may not de-
eide until the end OF this year.
In the mean time, the second and
third men In the tourney must play
to see which shall challenge Hoppe
for the championship.

Triple Tie May Be
Result i'm Western
Conference Series

CHICAGO, Nov. 21 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) The Western Confer
ence football title, won last year by
Iowa, may not have an owner this
year as Iowa, Michigan and Chicago
remain undefeated and, should the
three win next Saturday in the sea-
sons final games, the conference hon
ors will be shared by the trio.
Major John L. Griffith, commissioner
Of athletics in the conference, an
nouhced tonight that there is no pro-
vision in the rules for a post-season
play-off and that the rule limiting the
conference teams to seven games
would prevent deciding contest.
In the final games next Saturday
Michigan meets Minnesota, Chicago
will face Wisconsin, while Northwest
ern will furnish lowa's opposition.
Since the war there have been sew
erai disputed titles. In 1919 Illinois
lost to the twice defeated Wisconsin
eleven, but because Coach Zuppke. OF
Illinois, chose to play seven confer.
enee games Illinois was popularity
awarded the title. The 1899 race was
clearly Ohio's, while last year Iowa
won the title on percentage basis
without meeting Chicago, Wisconsin
Ohio State or Michigan.

Polo Grounds Season Closes
The. last football game has been
played at the Polo Grounds as 1t now
stands. On Monday began the work of
dismantling the wooden stands and
clubhouses. Next year there will be
more room for football as we'll as base
ball and more room for spectators, for
with the new concrete bleacher set back
against the Eighth Avenue fence there
Will be more playing space. The Polo
Grounds have their historic side as a
football battlefield. Before tho present
grandstand was erected the gridiron
was laid out north and south, and Co.
lumbia and somebody else-I forget
who--played a game there in water
waist deep in places. Hal Vollmer

The Indians were beaten by Yalo on

the Indians at Manhattan Field, with
Pop Warner as their guide, philosopher

NeW. EnRIaHds New erSey, New York;
f. ,p,ssnn,sylvania. Delaware, Maryland,
Washington, ID. G., West Virginia, Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida make up the East
ern section. All players In these states
will have to compete in a qualifying
round, which will probably be played
on some New England course. This
test will likely be held on Thursday
and Friday of the week preceding the
national meeting.
All of the players Of the other states
Will have to compete in the Western
qualifying round, which will probably
take place on some course in the Chi
cago district. Seventy-fve players
from each section, that is, the East
and the West, will make up the field
that will engage in the struggle for
national honors.
If the recommendation of the p. G..
A. committee is accepted by the IT, 8.
G- A., the amateurs will also have to
compete in these qualifying rounds in
their respective sections. The pro-
fessionals' committee points out that
every one, including foreigners, is re-
quired to qualify for the British open,
and that in justice to the ''pros" the
| amateurs here should also be com
pelled to qualify.
1t is also probable that even ties in
the qualifying rounds will be played
| off. ts
II the qualifying rounds are held
on Thursday and Friday preceding the
open, there will be an interval of four
days before the tournament starts. 1t
Is proposed TO hold an East VS.. West
match on some day during that inter
| val. Aleck Pirie reports that the pro-
| fessionals in the West are exceedingly
anxious to hold such a match
| No definite date or course was Sc
lected for the professional golfers
championship, although this competi-
tion probably will be held early next
fall. The tournament will be played
either on New England or a New
York course, with the chances favor
ing the former. The committee has 8
promising proposition from a clab in
! that section.
