SENTIMENT AT YALE
UPHOLDS FOOTBALL
sDaily News Is Opposed to
Quick Radical Change in
Conduct Of Sport.

New HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 21.-Yale's
undergraduate viewpoint of the conclu-
sion of President Lowell Of Harvard
that football as an intercollegiate sport
has been given an emphasis out of pro-
portion to its Importance. as outlined by
the Yale Daily Nei1s to-day. is that any
reform In sports would have to be
brought about gradually. 1t also says
that undergraduates and alumni might
not be in sympathy with proposed re-
forms.
The Ne,cs, after discussing the points
made by President Lowell, says: Mod.
ern football as at present organized has
been the target for three principal
charges-that of professionalism, indi-
vidualism and of commercialism.
"Unquestionably there is some truth
In these accusations. The only way
they can be silenced at Yale Is by
radical departure from the traditional
athletic policy of the university. II ma
tional competition Is to be avoided pre-
iiminary games must be partially or en-
tirely done away with IL the principle
of athletics for all is realized intra-
mural games must be substituted, and IL
commercialism is to be discouraged ex-
penses must be cut down by carrying the
reform into all branches of athletics.
ANY change-if change Is wanted
would be merely an attempt to correct
radical defects In the present organiza-
tion OF college athletics. Such change
would not come Immediately"

Demand for Better Golf
Facilities Must Be Heard
New York, Away Behind Other Cities Must Soon Heed
Clamor of Public Links Players for More
and Better Courses
by JOHN G. ANDERSON.

sas City and then away out to the coast
find municipal golfers receiving fully
as much attention as the private club
players. The latter at all times, when
asked. have been only too ready TO help
I'm the pushing forward Of the idea of
golf for everybody.
Every nation. 1t seems Is becoming
more athletic each succeeding year. In
other lands more diversified sports gain
the attention. but in ours the man over
thirty-five or forty Is singularly handl-
capped Tennis is just DIT too strenu-
Gus even IL IL Is round the corner at so
cents an hour The only game which
attracts and keeps the dub as well as
the cleYer player interested is golf.
Do People get up out of their beds at
four in the morning and hustle out to
Van Cortlandt Park. there to find a
dozen ahead of them. for the purpose of
getting home for breakfast and then
having another round or two afterward?
No, indeed! It's simply to be able to
get in just one round Of golf. What an
attraction that game must have and
what great efforts ought to be made to
give it to people who could not abuse but
would so hugely enjoy the exercise.
Should Have Ten Courses.
New York ought to have ten big
municipal golf links. each one OF which
could be self-supporting. There Is land
On Staten Island for two links, there
is abundant golfing land of the very
finest nature on Jerome avenue. wood
ed part of Van Corlandt Park. extending
for forty or more streets. where twenty
seven holes could be laid out at little
expense and the wooded effect be not
lost from the road.
There is room fog another near the
present course at Pelham and for a
links in Queens to supplement the one
now there. A nine hole course in Chi
cago had over a hundred thousand
rounds played over 1t last year. An
eighteen hole links in the same city had
162 600 rounds. II the course is good
and charge must be made. then Is
cents on all days but Saturdays. Sun
days and holidays will meet every
expense incurred by links upkeep.
The time may not be ripe, public links
golfers, for new links to be built, but
we are sure of this fact The same
conditions which exist here to-day exist
ed elsewhere and new links were con-
structed to meet public desires rather
than demands. The reason was the
acknowledging by everybody at some
time that golf is not a game which is
to be played by one class alone. but
that every one can and ultimately will
enjoy the finest sport known.
Equipment has been reduced in price
and its quality Is better than ever. There
are few indeed who cannot afford the
price of an OUTFIT of clubs II they can
get to municipal links for single
fare. Everybody Is talking In slogans
nowadays. A good one for municipal
golfers would be More Muny' Golf"

Cuiford at Miami for
a Months Golf Vacation

With Mike Brady.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD
MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 2l.-In his first
match of the 1922 season Jesse Guilford

vacation and preparation for the coming

match took place over the Miami Coun-

very much to Guilford's liking. and al
though defeated he played very well
considering the fact that he had not

months. Jesse also was somewhat tired
from the train journey.
A four ball match was played. Gull

At the sixth hole Brady uncorked one

Municipal golf in New York city evil
dently is going to be an open question
Tor some time to come. The straw
which breaks the camers back liant as
yet been placed thereon despite fHe big
load Of increased dues and locker
charges. Kerr Petrie haas shown the i'm
possibility OF golfers expecting a better
INKS because OF the increased moneys
collected for 1922. and the various indig-
nation meetings which have been held
showed the feeling of futility for imme-
diate help
But 1t has been truth OF age that a
need Which Is vital to human endeavor
is satisfied. In some sections, SO far as
golf is concerned, this need has been
already recognized and filed.
To review the appeal OF golf will not
take long. In this country it was first
q fad. then a desire to be In fashion,
then fellowship move. later a business
necessity. These factors. of course, were
in addition to the charm which the
game has for one and all.
But what the more prosperous found
an the country, even when there was no
golf course near. for the first time the
city dweller discovered after his tramp
ings over municipal golf links, namely.
rich and abundant health. The primary
reason and attraction for municipal golf
ers is health and the joy of out of doors
activity And so we say again that a
vital need such as this will be duly rec
pgnized.
Philadelphia Sets Example.
It has been appreciated in other Sec
fions. The most enlightening instance
was In Philadelphia, where public spir-
tied men such as Robert w. Lesley and
Francis Warner. solely by personal ap-
peals to the political leaders and by
press activities with statements from
prominent men not golfers, the splendid
course at Cobb's Creek was constructed
and stands to-day as monument to the
united efforts of few men who saw
that public health and betterment would
be the outcome of real golf course.
A suggestion was made n year or so
ago that there be match between the
public links golfers of Chicago and New
York. The Chicago golfer laughed and
said to the proposer: You haven't any
golf links In New York belonging to the
city which are one to ten with ours here
In Chicago. You've got three or four
nine or eighteen hole links in name only,
while we have fifteen of the best kept
public courses, and self-supporting, too,
In the world. And as result we've got
the better public links players"
He spoke quite truly, but listen\to the
newly come information that in the near
future there may be another twenty
