TRIO OF TENNIS STARS

Richard Norris Williams I'd. twice

of 1918. a member of the first ten In
the national ranking. has changed
his residence from Boston to Phila-

Williams was Philadelphia be-

been contemplating a return to the
Quaker City for almost q year.
Philadelphia is thus ablo to boast
three members of the probable first

cisco with Johnston and the two Kin

and Washburn. All the members of

among three cities.
Williams Is Harvard graduate and
is in the importing business. He has
been suggested as Americas repre-

SQUIRREL HOARDS GOLF
BALLS FOR WINTER FOOD

Golfers Of the Augusta Country
Club of Manchester. Me-. are in line
for decoration from the s. p. c. A.
But for them at least one squirrel the
coming winter would have starved to
death. This squirrel probably be-
lieved that he was having fine
laugh at the rest Of his clan when
he found a nice, comfortable steam
heated apartment for himself in a
tree beside the Augusta links and
then proceeded to fill his ice box
with something new in nuts. speci-
mems of which would como crash
ing toward his lair through the TO-
liage.
OF course, it never occurred to the
squirrel that he was right beside a
golf course and that probably he
wasn't entitled to these nuts" But
one day golfer caught him in the
act, and then the hoarder had to
scamper for another part of the
wood. Climbing the tree, the golfer
found thirty-one golf balls. Some of
these were in excellent condition
others were slightly frayed, showing
that the squirrel had been trying
without success to sample the new
style Of delicacy.

operation as yet However. ! believe
that the game would be much better
eff IL the extra point after the touch
down were eliminated entirely. No
one likes tie games any less than
do, but I do not think that a hard
fought battle should be decided by
one play, regardless whether one man
or eleven take part in IT.
Playing Less Dangerous.
There can be no question but that
foot ball as it is played today is a
much better game than 1t was before
the advent of the forward pass and
open play in general. This may not
be admitted by some Of the "old
guard" and other members of the
"ke-hard" organization. but those
who do not let sentiment and preju-
dice stand in the way of better judg-
ment realize that there is no COM
parison between the two forms OF
play. In the first place. there rs not
one-quarter the chance OF being in
jured under the present conditions
Of play as there was in the days of
mass formations. Secondly. the very
openly tends to remove a great deal
OF the roughneas. The rules which
prevent clipping from behind. trip
ping. etc, are much to be commend
ed. and. as the game is pl yed today,
those who break these rules can be
detected and put out of the game.
And in the third place. the open
game has made ii possible for the
foot ball fans to understand the game
better and TO follow ii from a dis
tant seat in grandstand. These
phases have all made the game more
popular, as the big crowds of the
present show.
And SO in every way foot ball is
getting bigger and finer each year.
More and more people are realizing
that the great college game" Is one
of the strongest forces for good that
has ever been developed in the long
history of athletics. The high stand
ards OF the game and the ideals of
those who have charge of its de-
velopment are being impressed upon
thousands of players each year. The
day OF the roughneck coach and the
tramp athlete has passed. Foot ball
Is no longer played merely for the
sake of winning a game or q cham
pionship, but for the sake Of the
after effects Of the game. which tend
to make the men better citizens for
having played college foot ball

Judge the value Of the conference
better than the man who has COACHED
only in one section of the country.
The coach who has never been con-
nected with a college outside OF a
conference does not realize what a
great blessing such an organization
Ia, and the mentor who has never
coached q team that is in a conference
cannot realize what a great deal of
good such an organization can do. 1t
Ia interesting to note that every
player and coach who has been con.
stands ready to boost 1t at all times.
This applies to those who have had
Z taste Of both kinds. The only OBJ
jectors to the organization of con-

been connected with such an insti-
tuition.
For Equality In Competition.
think thst colleges which have
different eligibility rules should not
play one another in foot ball. 1t is
unfair to ask = college that plays
men for three years only and has a
one-year residence rule 30 play teams
from Institutions that allow their men
to play for four years and do not
have q One-Seaf rule. Inc puUIic
judges the merits of the coach and of
the team only by results. 1t does
not realize that the teams are not
competing under the same conditions.
Some teams have advantages so great
that II is almost impossible for other
teams to compete with them. I think
that there should be graduated classes
of college foet ball. 1t is done sue
cessfully in base ball. and there is
no reason why such a plan could not
be made to work to advantage in
intercollegiate ranks.
The try-for-point system has proved
to have a sting. So far several i'm
portant games have been decided by

able of these. While there has been

rules tend to become standardized.
There have been q great many OBJ
jections voiced on this subject. but
believe that the good that these
games do more than makes up for any
OF the harm as quoted In arguments
advanced by those who would like to
see this feature OF intercollegiate
foot ball discontinued The chief
argument OF those opposed to these
games 10 based on the supposition
that the long trips take too much
time away from the classroom, and in
this way rob the students of valuable
hours that should be spent on their
lessons.
In some WAYS these objectors are
spcnd all its time travelling from ono
part Of the country to another for,
the sake Of playing foot bali Unless
the players can show marks above
the passing grade they should not be
allowed to play foot ball at all. How
work do not see any reason why
they should not be allowed to take an
extra day of once in a while.
People fall to realize that most
teams lose only one haif-day's work
on trip. Very few colleges have

campus on Friday night. il it has \
game in another city on Saturday. it
will be seen that only Saturday
mornings classes are missed. Then.
too, most Of the foot ball players so
arrange their work as to have Satur-
day morning free. AS there also are
many students not foot ball players
who are able to Ak their schedule SO
that they have no classes on Saturday.
the charge cannot be made that the
foot ball players are given special
favors. In the case Of games on the
Pacific coast. II can be pointed out
that the time for these contests
comes out of the regular Christmas
recess. In no way do they interfere
with the college work.
Urges Eastern Conference.
There is no doubt but that confer
ence foot ball is good thing. People
in the east do not realize what they
are missing when they refuse to form
a conference. Such an organization
makes foot ball cleaner, faster and
more interesting. I fail to see where
there are any valid objections to such
an institution. 1t should be remem-
bered that all the teams In the con-
ference do not have to meee each other
during any one season. or. for that
matter. in any season at all. But by
having a conference and by backing
up its ofiicisls, all disputes and Ques-

This decision is not the result of
BIT OF hish-handed business on the
part of the United States Golf Asso-
eaton. Nor is it the result of any
intention to keep the east and the
north in the preponderance in the
matter OF eliG:bles for the champion

into question of limiting the entry
list. or stretching the championship
out to an intermnable length, and
forcing several qualification rounds
instead of the sixhOle affair
in vogue for many years.
Last year at Brookline the qualify
Ing rounds were held on two days.

years the medal rounds have both
been held in one day. but the size OF
