JONES REACHES
GOLF GOAL
At LAST

Truth, crushed to earth, will rise
again like a yeast cake, as the
fellow said. Bobby Jones won his
first national golf title at Inwood
last summer after shooting under
that goal since 1916, when he first
appeared In competition as an
abashed schoolboy, aged fourteen.
Robert had the ability to step out
with any company the world over.
but until he went to Inwood for
the national open he always stubbed
a competitive toe somewhere in the
championships. Many times and
oft the toe was stubbed over the
threshold OF success, Gene Sarazen
beating Robert stroke only at
Skokie the year before.
In .Inwood Jones finished in tie
with Bob Cruikshank at q holes.
and In q special plAy-off Of 1S holes
won by 76 to rs. It was the first
time an amateur had won the Amer
lean open since Chick Evans VIC

MILLIONS Sc {
FOOTBALL IN
WAN|NGYEAR

Collegiate football, during the sea
son of 1923, sat heavily astride
Americas national chest and took
Q firm grip on the public throat
1t is conceivable that between two
and three million persons saw foot
ball played in all sections of the
country during the late campaign
Q total so staggering that college
faculties began to look askance
and drop thin1y yelled hints On the
subject Of commerciansm in ath
letics.
In the stadiums maintained by
Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania and
Princeton, some 100000 witnessed
the game alone. The Middle West
played to at least that number OF
spectators through the season, the
Far Coast to perhaps half of the
total, and the South to a somewhat
higher percentage. Games at the
Polo Grounds and the Yankee sta
dunn, including the Army and Navy
affair, drew in the neighbornood OF
100000 admissions.
It was footballs greatest season
as Viewed from the depths of the
box office.
From the standpoint of play Il
was little less than that. Yale came
out OF the doldrums with one of the
finest teams in it's history, and
skipping through the season unde
feated, was GENERALLY accorded tor
ranking in the East. Cornell dis
puted this decision to the death
having completed three seasons
without defeat, but the critics IA
vored Yale because 1t took on the
harder schedule.
Illinois and Michigan ruled the
big Ten Conference and the Middle
West in general, the honor being
a joint one. Unfortunately, they
did not meet to settle the issue def
nitely. Notre Dame also boosted a
fine record, but ran afoul Nebraska
when the Huskers were right. and
the result was the only defeat OF
the campaign for the Irish. SYRIA
cuse, losing only to Colgate, later
gained a rolling fall over Nebraska
causing complications to set in.
On the coast, California agar
prevailed closely pursued by Wash
ington, while Texas generally was
rated the best OF the Southern
teams.
The supply of individual stars ex
ceeded the demand for the frs
LlIne since the war, the CONDITION
being especially true of backfielt
men. The list of All.America back
field candidates included Grange, Of
Illinois; Pfann, OF Corpell; Mallory

Among the HiIltOppers.

r ACKIE MALONEY has not
been kept or fired yet. The
official announcement from
Georgetown University is expect
ed in a few weeks. Our own par
ticular guess is that he will be
retained.
Maloney's friends--and he has
many--claim the 1923 candidates
were rather subcaliber when it
came to brains. Don't know about
that, not being acquainted with
any but Wiggy King, who is any
thing but that.
Maloney drew little from the
freshman team of the year be-
fore. He had to find almost an
entirely new set of forwards and
to replace Malley, Flavin and
Kenyon in the backfield. That
proved a task too great for the
little coach in a single season.
There is a lot Of common sense
in the rumored plan to keep Ma
loney. He learned his varsity
football from Al Exendine, one Of
the brainiest tutors on the grid
iron. Now and then the 1928
Hilltoppers showed glimpses of
real form. 1t may be that in an
other year Jackie will turn out q
much better eleven than he led
this past season. His friends say
he is entitled to that chance.
Who is there to say he isn't?

Rather Dull Winter,

THE failure Of Georgetown's

part of the Griffmen, has taken
much life out of Washington's
sport world. It promises to be a
rather dull winter, with bowling
and school basketball battling
with Joe Freeman's rasslers for

But when winter comes spring

they usually do, and before you

succeed DOME Bush as manager
of the Griffmen. Clark Griffith
says he doesn't know yet who
will get the job. He ought to
know.
Whoever does lead the Griffs
will have a mans sized job on his
hands. He will have some aging
pitchers and q flock Of young
sters. He will have three-fourths
of a frst-class infeld and one
third Of a star outfield. He will
have one first-class catcher.
In other words, the 1924 mana
ger of the Griffmen will have to
understand young players, seek
ing a third-sacker, at least one
outfielder, one catcher and IS
many pitchers as he can find.
Yes, almost anybody can under
stand the difficulties facing the
new manager. George Mcbride
and Clyde Milan and DOME Bush
failed to get away with it. The
new man may also fail. Good
ball players are not growing on
every bush. Indeed, we don't be-
lieve they ever did, though they
used to be more plentiful than
they are these days.
About the Pitchers.
THE Washington pitchers are
an odd lot. Walter johnson,
= Jezebel Zachary and George
Mogridge, judged from their work
in 1928, may be good or bad.
Furthermore, there will never be
any telling when they will be
either. Zach, for instance, may
i fail to last two innings on Mon
day and come back on Friday
with a four-hit victory.
AS for the youngsters, Paul
Zahniser and Oliphant Marberry
appear to be. the most PROMISING
right now. Zahniser is a steady
pitcher who uses considerable
brains in his work. Given good
support, he always has a chance
to win. Marberry, of all the
youngsters tried last year, looked
the best. He is younger than
Zahniser, has a lot of speed and
takes advice.
Clark Griffith, having secuted
Marberry himself, is taking a lot
of interest in the lad. IF Mar
berry is wise he will listen to his
boss, who was quite n capable
finger himself in his day.
AS for the others, we have
heard this and that about most
of them. They will have to show
their stuff before being consid-
