knows how to protect himself and
how to evade such ailments as
charley horse and the twisted liga-
ment. The wonder is that staleness
never seems to follow his incessant
march. as he is about as keen for
competition in October as he was
hack in April or May. In addition
to hardness and fortitude, Scott
has shown how Tar the set purpose
to keep going will carry one along.
Aiexa Stirling, former women's
champion. has no idea of surrrend-
ering her old homestead at the top
without a contest. She doesn't plan
to play nearly as much golf this
season as she played last year. but
the soundness Of her style doesn't
call for any extended practice. She
is, in fact. much better of when
she only plays just enough to get
the touch and feel of her clubs,
where-keenness for play will more
than make up for lack OF hard
work. Miss Stirling has no par
ticular faults to correct at any
time. With less play she will again
be a vital factor where the clans
assemble. for a combination of skill,
power and courage is never checked
by one off-year.
California is satisfied with the
aftermath of the WI. game
writes Westerner. IF so many
in the East can stir up such a
hufla baloo over a tie, looking upon
1t as a wonderful victory, Far
Western football isn't so bad off af-
ter all. What If w. and ]. did gain
more ground and make more first
downs? Didn't Yale do the same,
thing against Harvard? Didn't
Notre Dame do the Same thing
against Iowa? Didn't Pittsburgh
make more than twice as many first
downs against Lafayette than La
fayette made against Pittsburgh?
But did Yale, Notre Dame and Pitts
burgh get all the credit?@ II the
last football season proved any
thing. it proved that making first
downs or gaining more ground was
only small part of what took
place on the Held when it came to
the final score"
Jesse Guilford, amateur golf
champion, has gotten an early start
for the biggest campaign Of his
career. If untoward events don't
interfere the Boston Siege Gun in
tends to go after the British cham
pionship at Prestwick, to take his
fling in the open title hunt of both
countries and then be properly ad-
justed for a defense of his title at
Brookline. Guilford Is one of the
fortunate types that can keep at 1t
without breaking up physically. As
a rule, he is only getting we'll
warmed up when others are about
ready to knock off and call 1t
weeks work. His early start In
Florida will get him out under good
hkadway, and with the confidence
that comes from wearing a crown
he will be an extremely robust
proposition to overthrow.
Rogers Hornsby. the star st.
Louis entry. now clings to a new
ambition. The idea is to beat
Honus Wagner's old National
League record and thereby become
the T.. r. Cobb of the older circuit.
He has quite start with two sue
cessive years of leadership. as
wagner's best contribution was
four successive seasons in front.
Hornsby needs seven more years of
leadership to tie up Cobb's mark of
nine unbroken campaigns in front
of the pack. And seven years
away is a bit too extended to be
given any earnest consideration
just at this moment.
