New York, Sept. 20" Brick
Muller. the dazzling backfield star Of
the University of California team in
he last three years, demonstrated ON
Saturday at Berkeley that his forward
passing arm is still with him. Playing
on gu all-star alumni team against
tie regular eleven. Brick" made five.
forward passes of seventy yards each.
On the veteran outfit were such me
teors as Erb. Morrison, Muller aud
! other players who have LtougEi the
/ Blue and Gold TO the fore N recent
SEASON.
They were beaten. 3 to &. by the
| Golden Bears. which is taken as Nm
indica..1n that pessimiS:ic reports
ficm Berkeley regarding prospects tor
| this years outfit are not &c be Goa
sidered too seriously. Muller's long
distance heaves made plenty of trouble
I fer the under-grads in the &ast<<ffee
minutes of play, but they Kept their
goal-line clean.
This last shows that there il hope
for the teams that will face the long
passes Of LeGendre of Princeton this
season. This southern hurler. who rs
built like Jack Dempsey. is throwing
the ball 40 and 40 yards in practice
at Tigertown. the last named dis
lance being the record for forward
pass throwing. With Sniyeley. another
long distance HEAVIER. in the Lineup.
Nassau should be able TO do some
thing revolutionary with the passing
ma shis foil A hn TINA
lCrget that the swift little ten foot
toss center or the slantwise shot IN
flat territory are. so to speak, the
bone and sinew of the forward pass
play. Brick" Muller is one of the few
transcontinental paSsers who have
taken the long toss out of the shOe-
string category.
1t remains to be Seen whether or
not Max Marston will make a popular
golf champion. One gathers from those
who saw him Stymie himself into the
amateur title at Floosmoor that be
will not. He has that sort of manner
on the links. mourns Philadelphia
enthusiast. which leads to the sus-
gestion that he wears evening clothes
at luncheon. This might well be taken
TO mean that the new champion ~
one who does not Know his way aboHt
socially. But this was not what MAS
meant. The Philadelphian was st-
tempting to convey that Narston's
demesnor is of the up and ultra sort.
The gallery is reported TO have liked
him not. On each and every hole some
spectator was admoniShed. according
to report. for winking or slapping az
Il mosquito and the photographers had
no trouble at all in exciting his ire,
One can imagine. however, few thingss
that an amateur golf champion needs
less than popularity.
MarstOn is 81 years old. Thus conlsss
a break in the fashion of "child cham.
pions.' 1t looked for awhile as though.
the wear were going TO produce prac-
tipaily an unbrOken record in this
respect. There was Helen Wills. the;
ll-year-old women's tennis queen;
Miriam Burns. the 19-year-old western,
women'S golf ruler: Bobby Jones, wins
ner of. the national open. Then with,
Sweetser. the Yale undergraduate. de-
serted at the ultimate moment BY the
gods of chance. the advance of youth,
was STAYED.
Whether MarSton will be popular oc,
not he has raised the fallen gonfallan.
of veteran prestige. And that Il some-s
thing.
