Harvard has drawn what seems

YOUTH Dat Ties
FOR FAIR GOLF
HON0RS
Misses Sterling and Cummings
Play IN Women's Cham
pionship.
BY ROBERT e. HARLOW.

RYE, N. Y, Oct. 6.-This is a sea-
son in which youth has had it's fling
on the golf courses Of America, AMI
it is two youthful women golfers who
will battle over the wind-swept fair
ways of the Westchester-Biltmo
Country Club today for the highest
golfing honors that can be won by
women.
Miss Alexa Stirling, Of Atlanta and
New York, and Miss Edith Cum
mings, of Chicago, meet in the final
round Of the national tournament at
thirty-six holes, and the match
should be. a hummer. Both are good
golfers, with just enough tempera
ment thrown in to make a match in
teresting, and both have fought their
way to the top through a field of
good golfers.
Alexa is seeking her fourth title.
Three times in recent years, despite
her youth, the Atlanta girl has been
crowned queen Of the women golfers,
and she is deadly serious about this
thing Of winning again.
Miss Cummins is the Bobby
Jones" of the women golfers. In
other tournaments she has struggled
upward, only to go out in the final
stages, but in this year of strange
upsets in golf, the heretofore hard
luck players have come through, as
witness Bobby Jones in the open,
and Max Marston in the amateur,
and the friends of the Chicago girl
are hoping that the order of the year
will prevail this afternoon.
The day was sunny and cool, with
a strong westerly wind sweeping
across the course. A record gallery
is expected to watch the match

TODAY
Will Direct virginia's Attack
Against Richmond at
Charlottesville.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct.
6.-Benny Arnold will probably run
the University of Virginia football
team today in the game against
Richmond University, but Coach
Neale has been shifting men In the
line and in the backfield all during
the week and the lineup that starts
off the game against the Spiders is
not expected to be the same as
that which opened against Furman.
Since Sam Maphis, Tom Mccoy
and possibly Paul Walp will he
kept out on account Of injuries
Hal Little is slated to start the
game in one of the halfback posi-
tions. and probably Mike Hubbard
in the other. Arnold win start in
quarterback and Matt Wilson IN
full
Chief Of the changes in the line
Is the shift of Tom Hall and Jim
Weaver, Virginia's two guards.
Coaches Neale and Kellison think
right and left sides of the line that
a considerable strengthening may
result.
Captain Blackford will start in
left tackle and Jim Winston nj
right tackle. Bin Dietrich and
either Joe Baldwin or Walter
Brown will serve as ends.
Virginia's student hand, which
has been practicing under the di-
rection of w. F. Stinespring since
the opening of the session. will
make It's debut at the Richmond
game. Although the thirty-five
musicians have been playing to-
gether only a short time they can
play most of the Virginia songs and
several spirited marches.

Zev Will Represent Jockey Club
Criticism Aimed al
Home Run Credit
Given Ruth.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Some
criticism was leveled today at
the official scorer who credited
Babe Ruth with his fortieth
home run of the season in yes
terday's game between the
Yankees and the Athletics. It
was claimed by some that Ruth
was entitled only to a single
and that Mathews, the Athletics
centerfielder, should have been
credited with an error.
The hit in question went on
the ground to Mathews, but the
latter failed to come up with it
and the ball went through him
to the fence.
Cy Williams, of the PhiIlies,
leads Ruth for interleague
honors by one home run.

into battalion front, the Gyrenes
will march up the field. Stopping
before the Georgetown stand, they
will give their enemies cheer
before breaking for their own Sec
ton. Ten massed bands win lead
them upon the field.
Most prominent among the Hill
toppers today is Paul Florence, their
brilliant left end and captain. He
ranks with the best ends in the
game, and, with Ted Butler beside
him, is almost certain to cause the
Marines lot of trouble gaining
around that sector.
In the backfield, Paul ByrnA. who
is due to start at fullback and do
the punting, and Pug DuFour,
last years quarterback, viii be
watched closely. They have been
through the big games Of 1922 and
may have to bear the brunt Of the
offense today.
The Marines will start Liversedge

Maryland center, viii start, probably
alternating with Larson, Navy's cap
tain in 1921. Both men are un-
usually strong players.
During the week both squads have
polished their formations until they
shine. Here and there a man has

with the exception of Goettge, the
Marine backfield star, not one is
unable to do his stuff today.
