Someone said "golf will inherit the
earth, and the latest proof of the
strength of that sport was given when
4tes a parsonage than Judge Lam
dis gave a baseball game the "go-by v
ito finish out his golf match. This is
indeed serious and may be ruled as
~lese majestic" to the national game.
It happened down in Clearwater, Fla,
land it is said that Rex Beach was
the responsible partner OF the Judge.
Here is the first bomb thrown into
the golf world along the lines upon
which this column has been preach
ing. namely, the deflation OF golf
charges. The Pittsfield Golf Club ae-
ouired the S5-acre Hodecker Farm
about a year ago. They now pro-
nose TO put 20 acres of this into a
golf course with a capital stock of
S10 600. divided into SO shares. If
Pittsfield. Mass, can give men ten
dollar golf it will be great thlng'
especially in these days of wild ex-
trayagance when any one OF a dozen
clubs think nothing of spending SlO,-
900 on a single hole
Eddie Egan, the former Yale cap
tain of the boxing team, now
Rhodes scholar at Oxford, proved the
god from the car" who enabled Tx
ford to win the competition win
cambridge by taking honors In both
the heavyweight and the cruiser class
es, giving the Dark Blue a victory by
4 to 3. Old Yale men and a. Il. F..
men are quite familiar with Egans
skill and not in the least surprised
that in both bouts, the one against
the former Groton boy. Simpson, and
the one against Mickie, the referee
was obliged to stop the contests to
save Egans victims from further
punishment.
Rather than interfere with or
ieopardize Oxford's chances in the
boat race, a British court adjourned
the hearing in an automobile case IN
which Nickalls, No. Z, in the Dark
Blue boat. was summoned. Some tri-
umph for rowing 1t reminds one of
the times when Yale-Princeton foot
ball games were played on Thanksgiv-
AnNsssay in New York and church
services were scheduled for the morn
ing. as afternoon services found few
attendants. In fact, it was respect
for the wishes of the churches that
these games were finally held previous
TO that holiday.
John Heismann, who left his coach
ing position for business career, is
sponsor for a new style of football or
rather for new development in the
inflation line which enables one TO
lace a football while in a Debated
condition and then blow it up to
! rightly through valve on the other
side of the ball from the lacing. The
valve is rubber disc set into the blad-
der but all that appears upon the
outside of the ball after the initiation
has been completed is small half-inch
black disc.
If there be any man who can just
| " be pleased with his work it should
| be Joe Fogarty. who came up from
Philadelphia and took the Yale basket
/ ball team, which wound up last year S
season at the foot of the list. and put
| them at the top Yale's victory over
Cornell by a single point-19 10 IS
clinched for Yale the Eastern cham
pionship of 1923
The announcement that Maher,
PENIS captain and backstop of the
1922 nine, is eligible for this years
aggregation. will be hailed with de-
light by Penn sympathizers for he was
certainly a great steadier of the team.
The point involved in this eligibility
case is an unusual one. Maher took
his degree in three years instead of
four, but is now in the law school.
The decision rested upon this ques-
ton, and it was ruled that this was
not a transfer from another university
and that he would be entitled TO his
fourth-year competition.
