BERKELEY. Oct. 5-United Press)
Golf on the Pacific Coast is going
to be given a college education.
That ancient and uncertain game
has for some time been recognized
as a minor sport at Stanford. Uni.
versity. the University of Washing.
ton. and now the Circle C Society
here has come out and sanctioned
the game as a California sport OF
minor character. A Circle C" will
be given as the letter.
Many colleges and universities in
the east and central west have been
playing golf as n regular constituted
college sport for many years, and
intercollegiate Journeys have been
functions of long standing. But
this move by California is tho first
real impetus the game ever has had
out here as an intra.mural and in
tercollegiate pastime.
According to r.. w. Cortelyou,
graduate manager of athletics at
California. matches with Stanford
and washington will be sought this
coming season. and It is considered
possible that in q couple OF years. II
not sooner. a Pacific Coast confer.

NATIONAL LEACUERS
INFIELD STRONGEST
ON THE OFFENSIVE,

stop Of the present worlds cham
pions. Is the spark plug of tho whole
team. He is erratic at times and
he falls frequently into errors at the
most critical times, but no has
assets that overcome that weakness
Bancroft is the brainiest short
stop in the game and he carries the
load Of directing the team on the
field. He is a fighting. aggressive
player and q steadying influence
upon the whole team. especially
upon the pitchers.
Everett Scott was once a great
shortstop, but he has slowed up
terribly. He cannot cover territory
with Bancroft and he cannot throw
like the Giant captain. On the mid
die of a double play. Bancroft has a
marked advantage owe him.
Scott is more reliable and more
steady than Bancroft. but drives win
get past him that will never pass
the Giant star. Bancroft is a more
reliable batter and a faster man on
the bases.
Like Scott, Heinie Groh, the Giant
third baseman, is another player
who has passed the day Of his great
ness. Groh once was the star of all
the third basemen. but his legs have
gone bad on him and third base Is
no place for a player with bad legs.
Joe Dugan Is the best third base
in baseball. one of the best of
them all. He hasn't the batting
average Of Groh, but tho hitting of
the Giant third baseman is not so
sensational as to make that a
marked difference.
The decline of Scott has forced
Dugan to v more territory than
any other third baseman in the
major leagues. He can get owe SO
well to his right that he finds It
possible to protect almost half OF
Scott's terrain.
No player in baseball can throw
with Dugan. There r stronger
and faster arms but no player can
get a throw away from any position
like Dugan can. He is fast coming
in for q bunt. Groh Is necessarily
slow. Dugan handles the ball clean.
iy. where Groh usually nights It. He
is especially good at knocking down
drives along the leftfield foul line.
where Groh is too slow to get over
for them.
Dugan is a smart player. he has
fine temperament and spirit. He is
perfectly satisfied with his job and
he has abandoned tho ways of n
Polly Anna that had him when he
was with the Athletics.

perience against Illinois Saturday
on Illinois field in the biggest early

The Cornhuskers will probably
have sever IN" men in the lineup

Der of letter men on each team

Nebraska won the Missouri Val

NEW YORK. Oct. s. = UNITED
Press.S Comparing the infields of
the Yankees and the Giants It viii
be found that the National league
champions have an edge in the pow
err Of their attack. while the two
combinations are about evenly
matched on the defense.
waily Pipp. first baseman of the
Yankees. Is q real star. whose value
to the club is not specifically APP
parent. Pipp is regarded by many
irst class pitchers as the most dan
gerous batter on tho team. He is n
hard worker. a good reliable fielder
and a player of ideal temperament.
Kelly. the rival first sacker of tho
Giants. has only one marked super
iority over Pip. and that consists in
his possession of M Of the finest
arms in baseball. On double plays,
throwing to third and relaying from
the outfield. his whip is a most val
liable asse to the team. Kelly ought
to be n great hitter. but he fell off
greatly this year and was showed
way down tho lineup. In fielding
and In covering foul territory he is
perhaps as good but no better than
Pipp.
The hitting power OF Pipp gives
the Yankees a slight edge on irst
base.
Two of the best second basemen
in the major leagues are to be found
on the opposing clubs.
Because of his ability al a hitter
and a base runner. Frankie Frisch
will be favored over Erin Ward.
Ward was one Of the most i'm
proved ball players OF the past sea-
son. He always had the potential
ability to star. but It took him nome
time to figure out second base after
he had been started at third.
In fielding. Frisch and Ward are
spectacular and brilliant. Frisch IS
better in getting back into short
rightfeld but he doesn't handle the
ball as clearly as Ward and his
value on double plays is thereby re-
duced. Frisch hits better. gets on
base oftener than Ward and he is
one of the most daring base rum
ners in baseball. In tight games his
ability on the bases will make him
OF more value to the club than
Ward.
The advantage. slight an # may
be. rests with the Giants at second
base.
