GOLF NOTES

1t hardly seems proper to judge
the fitness of play of any entrant
without giving him a chance to prove
his worth. That is what the prelim-
mary rounds are for.
1t doesn't seem fair TO commit
tee on eligibility TO tell any player
who desires to enter that he can not
simply because said committee docs
not seem TO think he is Of champion
ship caliber.
In most sports class will ultimately
prevail. Golf is no exception.
1t is a rarity for some unheralded
player to NOV down a big field, al
though such things have happened.
Certainly tho year Ouimet defeated
Ray and Vardon. no one gave him
much Of a chance before the start OF
the tournament.
1t would seem that no payer would
care to enter unless he believed he
had a chance. Therefore it doesn
seem fair to have a committee count
him out before play.-B. II.

a recent news item carried the
statement that golfers who desired
to compete in national amateur
championship next summer would
have to convince the eligibility COM
mittee that they are Of championship
caliber.
In other words, the committee on
rating doesn't want any player other
than star TO try to enter the cham
pionship event.
That is a rather peculiar proce-
dure, since the national open is sup
posed to be an invitation 10 all golf
ers who believe they have chance.
Scores are not always the best
way to judge players real worth.
In real competition certain players
have it all over others who, with
nothing at stake, can play a game
that is practically unbeatable.
1t is claimed that experience in
national amateur events has shown
that nearly half of those who enter
the qualifying round have no chance
of surviving.

Stag.g Declares
Betting Running

CHICAGO, Feb. 9-Declaring he
had turned down an offer OF $1,000
TO become a professional while at
tending Yale on $i16 a week, Alonzo
A. Stagg, University OF Chicago ath-
letic director. in an address today
blamed betting for the inroads OF pro-
fessionalism in college athletics and
declared that these inroads were the
most demoralizing thing in the world
TO clean athletics.
Nothing is more demoralizing
than the feeling how much is I'm II

pulse starts in childhood and the
stimulus changes as the boy grows
older to that of emulation. OF being
a real part I'm a social group. Then.
as he grows still older, he becomes "a
part OF more organized groups ana
college athletics is one OF the de-
velopments.
at that time competition becomes
keener and the group impulse be-
comes stronger. Then as his skill
develops there is possibility that it
may become capitalized il is in that
case, where competition becomes
keen. that betting begins.
This betting Is the first step to-
ward professionalism. He finally is
induced TO become a professional
and generally the inducement is the
result Of some betting plan.
THE temptation is strong, but tho
American youth should be stronger
I know some OF the boys need money
but the true American lad does not
stoop TO sneaking violation OF his
colleges regulations to obtain

The competition for supremacy has
become too keen in college athletics.
The desire to win has become the
paramount issue. Coaches and alu-
mni in an effort to bring about that
result have seemingly oyerstepped
themselves.
Sportsmanship has been relegated
TO the sidelines. Victory at any cost,
financial or otherwise. seems to be
the aim of majority of the col
leges.
First came the charges Of profess
sionalism against the Lafayette col
lege eleven. A number of eastern
critics refused 20 give Lafayette the
rating il deserved, because of rumors
that some of the athletes were not
I'm the best OF standing as amateurs.
Lafayette invited an inquiry into
the charged 1t was held. and as
recall it, the athletes under suspicion
were white washed.
The scene then shifted to the west.
For the past month sensation sfter
sensation has been sprung, involving
a number of the leading athletes of
the west. Most of them have been
declared ineligible
Recently Coach Rockne OF Notre
Dame, whose teams were hard hit
said: Professionalism is the biggest
menace in college athletics. Unless
the tendency in that direction is clir-
tailed it may be necessary to abolish
football as an intercollegiate sport
Long before the collegiate expose.
Coach Yost of Michigan, in an inter-
view. said TO me:
'"Football. is being overdone by
many colleges The impression is
growing that students go TO college
To make the football team Men go
to college for an education The
colleges make football possible, not
football the colleges. Some coaches
are overlooking that fact"
