Unusual Happens Often In 1923 Football Season

NEW YOFK, Dec. 5.-(By Asso- ball belied its name during the 1923 gridiron season, for scarcely a week end passed without adding sensa- tional or noteworthy achievements to the list.
 Brilliant broken field dashes of 50 to. 100 yards; forward passes of ex- traordinary distance, and field goals driven from deep in the field of play, figured prominently in winning games, and there were numberless freak" happenings which played no small part in turning the tide of battle.
 To Bowman of Syracuse is credited one of the longest runs in eastern football. The Orange halfback, re- ceiving the opening kick off in the Syracuse William and Mary game while standing on the Syracuse goal line, raced through the surging, div ing groups of opponents, who beset him and continued the full 100 yards of the field to a touchdown. Evans of Swarthmore was credited with a run of 104 yards against Pennsyl- vania when he picked up a tumble behind his goal line and ran for a touchdown.
 Smythe of the Army contributed broken field dashes of 70 to 95 yards in several of the games in which the Cadets engaged. His best record for single game came in the Army Lebanon Valley contest when he featured in five sensational dashes to touchdowns, two of 95 yards each, one for S5 yards, one of so and one of 45 yards, for a total gain of 395 yards for the game.
 Wilson of Penn State proved an- other performer who could shake himself free of enemy tacklers and race many yards to touchdowns. In the Penn State-Navy game he scored three touchdowns, the first on a 40- yard run, the second on a 95-yard swirl and the third on 77-yard dash, and in the PennsylvaniaP Penn State game again scored three touch- downs on long dashes.
 John Levi of the Haskell Indians was regarded by many as the great est forward passer of the year. In several games his bulletlil1e throws travelled 45, 50 and.55 yards. Hoge Workman of Ohio state was another passer of exceptional skill and ef- fectiveness.
 Jack Cavanaugh of Washington college, Maryland, registered one of the longest field goals of the season; drop-kiek of }5 yards which en- abled his eleven to defeat St. Johns college, to 0.
 Other field goal performances of note in a single game were made by Arnold of Virginia, Rutherford of Virginia Polytechnic, Wilkins of In- diana and Ascheubach of Dartmouth.
 An outstanding freak" happening of the season occurred in the Detroit Hope college game when Hope had the ball for 16 consecutive downs during which it's team fell back 70 yards. Hope employed the first three downs rushing and on the fourth kicked Detroit blocked the kick but Hope players recovered the ball and it was first down for Hope. This occurred successively three times before Hope finally got away successful punt.
 Stifler of Brown won a reputation as leading ball hound" In three games he contributed the winning points by grabbing fumbles or blocked punts and racing to touch downs. Aschenbach of Dartmouth was a leading punt blocker, while Budd of Lafayette and Bennett of Georgia were among his chief rivals.

 QUEER GOLFERS

By CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR. QUEER GOLFERS
 ! do not believe there is single
 game in the whole catalogue of sports
 which is in such high degree, pure
 ly game of skill as golf But in spite o. this there is an element of
 chance in golf that at times seems
 uncanny and frequently results in
 making a match between leading players as uncertain as throw of
 dice.
 i Probably as 8 result of the unfor- seeable factors in golf there is sur
 prising amount of superstition con
 nected with the game that at times is quite amusing. There are a great many players, in
 cluding myself, who develop great affection and belief in certain clubs and they are almost superstitious about entering match of any im- portance unless this club is in their bag I used to have this feeling with regard to mashie which used for long time and I know of many play CTS who carry a perfectly useless club in their bag for luck"
 While practicing for the National Amateur l found a penny and nickel. I wrapped them carefully in piece of paper and carried the little package all through the tournament. I have no doubt I shall hang on to 1t until our next championships are played, and if it is still working its enchantment I may keep it, indefi- nitely. If it falls down that will be another story.
 A great golfer who shared a room with me during a championship tour couldn't win if he didn't retire each evening and rise each morning at a certain hour. Another part of his mania was that he must get in and out of bed on the same side. On the day I have in mind he was matched to won he would get into the finals.
 That morning he woke up at his regu- | lar hour called across the roosn to me I sat up in bed and we started con versation. The window happened to be on the side of the bed opposite to the same side he got in and out of | Without thinking he started to get
 out on the wrong side of the bed , which of course, would have broken
 the enchantment. His toes had just
 about touched the floor when ii flashed across his mind that he was
 on the verge of inviting hoodoo
 He gave one wild lunge and landed out of the bed on the other side. But evidently he was too late for the spell was broken and he was badly beaten in the days match.
 I once ran across a rlayer in a
 tournament open to all corners and noticed a big bulge in the back pocket of his golf trousers. I was
 rather mystified at this. wondering why he should cucumber himself with any unnecessary articles during the match. After I had gotten on friend : ly terms with him I inquired what he carried and found he had seven golf balls in his pocket. On questioning as to why he picked out seven he ex :
 plained that seven is the perfect mum Der.
 I have never been able to under stand exactly how the golfing super stitions develop but I know they very frequently exercise a psychological effect. They seem to give confidence to some players and confidence is one of the big essentials in golf.
