FRENCH URGE YANkS
TO TAKE tP RUGBY

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. November 10.-French Olym-
pic officials are greatly chagrined
over the report from New York that
the United States will not participate
in the Olympic rugby competition.
While unwilling to discuss the cir
cumstances leading to such a decision
on the part of the American Olympic
committee, members of the French
organizing committee express hope
that the United States will be there
with a rugby team at the finals.
They realize that American rugby
is quite different from the European
game, but at the same time they
recall that during the inter-allied
Games in 1919 the American Army
put a team in the field that came
within a few points of defeating
Frances best. At Antwerp, in 1920,
the American team also gave a very
good account of itself.
I'VE should like America to COM
pete, first, because we feel that rugby
is one of the best sports for. the de-
velopment Of physical education, and
second, because we feel that the win
ner of and individual or team COM
petition in 1924 should be universally
recognized as supreme. This would
not be the case for rugby should the
United States fail to compete" Thus
spoke Frantz-Reichel, general scere-
tary of the French committee.
I'VE earnestly desire also that
rugby be not considered as exclusive
ly a British sport, but a game of
worlds expansion" Reichel went on.
THE friendship and admiration which
we feel toward American athletics
lead US to believe that. in no matter
what sport they choose to compete,
their methods and the class of their
athletes would bring benefit to that
particular game.
"If we win the rugby event."
Reichel concluded, I'VE want to feel
that we have defeated the best in the
world, which would not be the case
should America abstain. The prestige
of the Olympic games demands that
the United States enter, every track.
field and team event. / am sure we
will find the boys from overseas
right there when the whistle blows"
Col. Robert NJ, Thompson, president
of the American Olympic committee.
has had several conferences with
Reichel about the matter and has ca
bled New York that, in his opinion,
the United States should send rugby
team to France.

And that. if you please, is the way
some of the greatest professional
golfers got their start in the game
and founded the method that kept
them well out in front of the long
hitting amateurs, who learned their
game in a different way and found
to their cost that the pay-off was not
on the drive. but rather on that
heart-breaking accuracy when in
striking distance of the pin.
Betimes he played the round; and
have been at some pains to ascertain
how far a very little chap of seven
years could hit regular golf ball.

Bobby's Christmas Present.
On Christmas of this year Bobby's
father. now firmly in the clutches of
the Caledonian national epidemic, de-
cided that Bobby ought to have some
better clubs and got Stewart Maiden
to make up a complete set for the
little boy. Still he had no lessons,
but he fairly haunted Stewart Maiden
on the course: they used to call him
Stewart Maiden's shadow in those
days. And at the national open cham
pionship at Inwood one of the New
York golf writer's, hearing of this old
story, turned it to a use SO beautiful
as to make the eyes sting-the idea
that at Inwood it was Stewart Maiden
who was Bobby Jones' shadow, fol-
lowing him about the Inwood links
and watching him win the blue rib
bon of golf that always had been
denied to "kiltie the King Maker"
himself.
At eight years old Stewart Maiden's
shadow had thickened up bit and
suddenly stepped out for himself and
won the junior club championship
from a lot of older and bigger boys.
He won this event the next year and

KENNEL AND FIELD
by GEO. H. KERNoDLE

The current issue of Field and
Fancy publishes a letter written by
one local fancier. in which he bitterly
criticises the placings by another
local man who acted as Judge at one
of the recent shows. Reference is
| made to the fact that the American
Kennel Club should consider appli-
cants for licenses to Judge on the
basis of mpetency. honesty and in
tegrity. An inference is also made
that the judge was promted in his
decisions by still another local man
The writer of this letter also states
that the report made by the judge
and published in Field and Fancy
was damaging to his dog, since the
judge in this report gave the faults
the placings made
We may remind the writer of this
letter that at least one large special

Another angle from which this dis
agreement may be viewed is that
opinions, broadcasted through the
dog journals. can only establish
among fanciers in other cities the
knowledge that there is considerable
dissension among Washington dog
owners. thing which is sure to be
felt in the entry lists at the com
