est and in improvement in the college
athletic field in the last decade. The
growth of the board of officials in foot
ball and its effect upon the game is one
Of the Illuminating instances. More
over, there Is now q very definite move
toward sectional conferences or organi-
cations which deal effectively with the
conditions prevailing in each section
This move has spread to officials, and
sectional associations of officials have
been formed which during the height Of
the season met weekly. This leads to a
clearer Interpretation of the rules and
more uniform enforcement.
The migratory athlete is finding his
pathway more and more difficult as
one institution after another takes
steps to protect themselves and their ath.
letes from competition with this class of
men. The great development of public
interest. particularly in football. has
also solved some of the more difficult
financial problems connected with the
running of minor sports, and the pro-
viding of field room for the university
body at large to take part in athletics
of one kind or another. The exchequers
now permit Of greater expenditure for
really necessary Improvement in. the
way of athletics for all, and. this is &C
comTJlished by the large surplus coming
from football gate receipts. Naturally
this has led to the erection of large
stadiums and bowls which are rapidly
paving for themselves. as well as fur
nishing this excess. In fact, in somt
institutions, notably Pittsburg and Stan
ford. funds have gone from the athletic
surplus to the erection of college build
ings. Altogether, the situation is IN
finitely better athletically and finan
cially than it was decade ago.

BOBBY JONES SUPERB
GOLFER BUT HE HAS
NEVER WON A TITLE
With Honors in Reach,
Somebody Always Comes
Along With Miracle Golf.

IL you talk to great trainers, coaches
and other men who are concerned III
the development of athletes they will
tell you that as a rule early association
with a great sport does not necessar-
lily imply that a boy will be a cham
pion. There are exceptions, Of course.
Among them is Gerald Patterson, OF
Australia, who had his first intro
duction to tennis as a ball boy for Fred
Alexander and Norman Brooke. And
Gene Sarazen and Ouimet, originally
caddies.
There are other exceptions, too, but
by and large, as sailors say, cham
pions in the various sports have been
men who in their boyhood we're not
specializing either as bat boys in the
big league parks, ball boys IN tennis
caddies on the links. juvenile boxers
anu the IKE. But whatever the his
tory of our leading opponents OF great
sports. there is not one case that COM
pares to that If Bobby Jones OF At
ianta and Georgia Tech and now Of
Harvard University.
Minerva from the head of Jove, fully
armed or equipped for golf. He was
IA years old when he came into ma
tional prominence, the sensation of the
world. There were those who predicted
that by the time he was 20 he would be
an outstanding player, national cham
pion so high above all the rest that no
one could touch him. Well, Jones is
past 20 and he has yet TO win his
national championship.
At Brookline last summer he played
Vicious golf of Jess Sweetser, with four
under even tours for the full extent
golf only to be nosed out by the mar
of the match. Time after time, Jones
has swung into championships with
what ordinarily would be unbeatable
golf, only to have some rival put

some fate camping upon his trail?
Bobby may think so, for witness his
remark at the end of the extraordinary
tourney at Brookline last September

..Criqui, the European champion who
is matched with Kilbane for next Dec

wonder in Europe, where he has
been fighting often and knocking out
all his opponents. He is veteran of
several years experience.
Pancho Villa, who won the American
flyweight title, knocking out game
Johnny Buff, is without close rival
at his weight. He is after fight with
Jimmy Wilde of England, worlds
champion flyweight. Probably he would
beat Wilde just as he beat Buff. Wilde
is an old-timer and has almost dropped
out of the game, and youth is a graat
thing.

New York, Jan. 20.-The National
Collegiate Athletic Association today
contains within its ranks the represen-
tatiye colleges Of all sections Of the
country. It's annual meetings are a
clearing house of ideas which have as
sumed concrete shape in the steady i'm.
provement of standards as we'll as the
enforcement Of standards and the prac-
teal operation of rules of all kinds.
But it was not so long ago that moth
ing like the conditions of today pre-
vailed. Indeed, the opposite was true.
1t has been only through admirable eff.
forts and not small measure of vision
and self sacrifice on the part of a num-
Der of the highest-minded men of sport
that decade of time has seen the pres.
ent commendable state Of affairs. Let
us glance back over some of the writ
ten pages of sporting history.
Just ten years ago the question was
sent out by the National Collegiate Ath.
letic Association as to the enforcement
Of the one-year rule in the case Of stu.
dents coming from another college. At
that time Amherst, Wesleyan, Williams,
| Pittsburg and West Virginia University
did not enforce it except in regard to
those men who had represented another
Brown, Colgate, Columbia, Cornell
1 DnNr nI
| Pennsylvania enforced il in the case OF
those who had attended another college.
| OF typical colleges not enforcing it were
Haverford, Swarthmore, Lehigh, City
College of New York, Johns Hopkins,
Washington and Lee, Virginia Poly,
| South Carolina, Nevada.
One-year Rue at 60 Pet.
| As to the question of barring freshmen
| from athletics, Amherst. Wesleyan and
Williams did it for n half year, Yale,
Harvard and Dartmouth for the whole
year, as did Cornell, Syracuse, North
western, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Kansas and Nebraska. Among those
which did not do it were Brown, Yer
mont, Colgate, Columbia, Haverford,
PENNSYLVANIA, Penn State. Rutgers,
Swarthmore, Pittsburg, North Carolina,
Washington and Lee, Georgia, Missis'
sippi. South Carolina, University Of the
South. Notre Dame. California, Idaho
Nevada. Oregon, Southern California
and Washington. As to permitting
graduate students to represent the insti
tuition, 50 permitted it and 81 did not
EOf students in professional schools, 81
institutions permitted it and As did not
As to special students, So permitted i
and 81 did not.
In summing up the whole result, onl,
, about go per cent of colleges were en-
forcing the one-year rule and OF thes
/ 81 were doing it in a modified form
Only 81 per cent enforced the fresh
man rule, so per cent debarred gradu
, ate students. :" per cent debarred stu
dents in professional schools, and les
than 40 per cent debarred special stu
dents.
In the year 1923 the colleges which d

! minority. So do we progress, even

national amateur; one might say past
due, But as betting proposition for
years no keen observer of golfing form
have clearer right to be installed as ia
ovrite. .
Jones was born and bred in Atlanta
where his parents live. He represented
Georgia Tech as an undergraduate and
was one of a team representing that
institution which swept the intercol'
legiate world n few years ago. Now
he is in Harvard where his services will
be of great assistance to the golfing as
pirations Of the Crimson this year.
