h EYER TOOROCK. known ~
|iN "Chief' in the metropolitan
athletic world. has won a place
in the New York University athletic
Hall of Fame, by his record on the
baseball diamond. basketball floor. and
more recently on the gridiron. When
Chief" received his varsity football
insignia recently he automatically be-
came the only three letter man on the
campus.
Playing his first season as moleskin
warrior Toorock was one Of the most
outstanding stars Of Tom Thorp's eleven.
his work as a triple threat back sur
prised the entire student body and even
the Bronx athlete himself. for he had
never participated In the gridiron sport
before. His scintillating success Is a
tribute to his natural ability and to
Coach Thorp. who developed him.
The football award is the third varsity
letter which the former Evander Childs
High School luminary has received in
the last ten months. This feat seldom
before has been accomplished at
the Bronx institution, and means that
Toorock was an all year round athletic
performer. Last spring he displayed
brilliant form at shortstop for the nine.
When a weakness came to light In the
backstop berth the coach transferred
"Chief" behind the plate. and so capably
did ne play the role of receiver that
he remained on the lineup as catcher
for the rest Of the season.
Last fall Toorock easily made a guard
position on Coach Ed Thorp's basketball
quintet, showing to as good advantage
as any guard since the days OF Ed
Delany's All Eastern guard OF few
years back. When Chief received his
football letter he earned his place In
the N. Y. u. athletic Hall Of Fame
with such men as Egan. Mooney. Baker
Delany and Howard Cam. the latter of
whom was the last three letter man at
the University Heights institution.
"Chier' Is a well built lad. weighing
ITO pounds, and standing feet 81 inches.
He is 20 years old. and Is a resident OF
the Bronx. Toorock received his early
athletic training at Evander Childs High
School. where he starred on the basket
ball. baseball and soccer aggregations.
captaining the last two teams In his
senior year.
Besides being an athletic luminary
"Chief' is good student and popular
on the Violet campus.

and the most outspoken. while recogniz'
ing the advances which have been made

that ho has returned from America fully

fessionals are to recapture tho honors
of thb game they will have TO work at
II instead Of playing at It By this he
means q more intelligent interest In the
fundamentals of the game.
Duncan oonfesses that for years he
has done no serious practicing at AL
except In putting. And those who have
seen George putt on several champion
ship occasions wonder whether he spens
much time In practice. From his pres
ent attitude one judges that Duncan In
tends to spend some real strenuous hours
not only on the practice putting green
but also with his woods and irons.
Young Players Plentiful.
The American player OF the pTotee-
sional type approaches maturity much
sooner than tho average British pro.
Duncan himself was 10 years OF age
when no entered his first open tourna-
ment. In this country at the next open
there will bc present three or four dozen
players who have been entered In the
open for two or three years and they are
not any Of them over 81 years Of ago.
Moreover the great number OF COM
petitions which are open to the Annert-
can pro outranks the British events by

youthful prodigies. Before big tourna-
ment itself starts the gight of fifty
players out practicing with wooden clubs

Britain. But. Duncan says. when this
sight does become common then ex-
pectations may run higher on tho ability
of the British pro to compete on equal
footing with the American.
George Gadd. who practioed putin
for hours over . stretch Of four mont
and then won the News OF the Worl
tourney. has given an added impulse to
the statements made by Duncan. The
efforts made by the golfers Of Britain
In the next open at Troon with show per.

II wAs likely indeed whom Taylor

have many comments Of interest to make
regarding their play in America and
the play Of tho golfers whom they met

respect for the advancement made on
this side and In print several times has
stated that he does not consider that

victory In successive years OF the open

confined solely to the professional. but
also to the amateur golfers. Perhaps
