Columbia Plans to Begin
Football Practice Early
April 10 Is Date Set for Spring
Workout.

For the first time in wears Columbia

April and possibly part Of May for
spring football practice. according TO tn,
joint announcement or Frank j. Buck

Is made possible BY the acquisition OF
tho Dyckman property. now known as
Baker Field, and a spot viii be found
or made sufficiently level to permit drills
in the fundamentals OF the game
April 10 Is the date tentatively set for
the commencement os activities, but
questionnaires have been sent out to all
members of last years squad concerning
hours for practice and whether or not
the drills will interfere with other sports.
It is not INTENDED that those men who
are out for other forms of athletic ac-
tivity win take part in the football
training. and It is consequently still un-
certain as to the number of men who
will be taken under O'Neill's wing when
the first workout is called. Bob Watt
said yesterday that the spring training
may not start until April Is and will
run at least until the Goth OF the month
and possibly until May C.
lt was at first hoped that Joe Brooks
and Depler, the newly appointed mem
her OF the staff. would be on hand Tor
the workouts but it is now fairly cer-
tain that Dcpler will not be In New

No Change Likely This
Year in British Golf
Word Has Just Been Received That the Amateur
Championship at Prestwick, Scotland Will Be
Played Under the Old Conditions
ny JOHN G. ANDERSON.

American golfers in general are in
terested in the proposed reforms for
match play in the British championship,
discussion Of which and probable action
being on the schedule for next May. But
word has just been received from one
who stands high in the amateur circles
abroad that there will be under
nc circumstances change this
year. This will assure all American
entrants. therefore, a certain chance OF
playing at least one match. which i'm
many cases which we could cite has
been the reason for trips abroad. 1t is
a pleasant thought when in >midoccan
not to have to worry about whether you
will get into the match play rounds but
TO know then and there that real
championship game al match play is TO
be had
1t is very interesting to note the
opinions OF the golfers who have not
shone on British links. One player says
that il change is made to thirty-six
holes the American will very quickly
win the British amateur championship.
The conditions he adds will be made TO
order. for he is brought up on score
play. and even in private matches lays
great stress upon the score OF the round.
The personal element entering in
leaves him in the frame of mind of try
ing at all times to better his previous
low score. The elimination Of the stymie
has helped to do this. With thirty-siN
hole round the ordinary American star
can play his own mechanical game.
knowing that in the general run OF mis-
takes and extraordinary strokes he will
fare equally well with his opponent and
that all he need worry about Is to keep
as close as possible TO an average OF
fours. In an eighteen hole match. how
ever. golfer must be right on his toes
for the breaks and when an opponent has
slipped in couple of threes on par four
holes the chances for an equalizing are
reduced by half and something extra
must be tried then and there with no
chance to wait until after lunch
Produces Fighting Instincts.
There Is Of course something OF truth
in the arguments put forward The
rabbit can scare the tiger and make
him sweat blood at the thought Of los
ing TO an admittedly inferior golfer. but
so much the better if it produces many
more times these fighting instincts.
Moreover the list of championship win
ners contains very few names of golf
ers whose game has not held up for
over a stretch of years as of champion
ship or near titular caliber.
1t seems idle for any one to predict
that the British would not have the
same sort oil a chance at thirty-six
holes as they do at eighteen an argu-
ment which seems to the London golfer
to be worth repeating from time 10
