retary Cornelius Lee of the govern
ing body Of golf has taken d group
OF good amateur golfers with him to
Jekyl island for series of tests that
are expected to develop some definite
conclusion with respect to the present
ball, as against lighter and larger
one.
The prevailing feeling among the
best golfers is that change to
larger ball would not make great
difference in our amateur stars. but
would considerably hamper an ordinary
player who would find himself handi
capped by lack Of distance.
Certainly with a lighter ball there
will be loss of distance, particu-
larly against the wind and on
slow course. with the wind the
lighter ball would go farther. Pro-

FOOT BALL CAN TAKE
LOT OF PUNISHMENT
By WALTER CAMP.

NEW YORK, January 26.-The old,
old debate about the value Of college
foot ball has bobbed UP again at
Princeton.
DIR. Stuart Patton came out recently
with a statement declaring that un-
less the game was greatly modified 1t
soon would be abolished. He placed
the blame for the conditions against
which he complained upon the alumni.
Now comes DR.. Kennedy OF the same
university with a. whole hearted de-
fense Of the game.
Meantime, as has been the case since
the thirteenth century, foot ball con-
tinues to bulk big in public interest,
inside and outside the colleges. And,
1t ght be added, furnishes the finan-
cial wherewithal to run all the other
sports.
Yes, 1t will not be abolished.
1t would have been well for those
who feel that athletics, and particu-
larly foot ball, shorten the lives Of
participants to have been present at
the Wesleyan dinner at the Commo-
dore last week when "W's" were con-
ferred on their team of four decades
ago, which on November l, 1884, de-
feated Harvard. 16 to 0. Only two of
that team are dead, despite the fact
that In those days Wesleyan had the
temerity to play Yale, not once, but
three times a year.
