FIELD GOALS ARE
 HIGHLY IMPORTANT
Resume Of Season Shows Kicks
 as Invaluable
By rns Associated Press.

New York, Dec. 3,-Knute Rockne, coach of the undefeated Notre Dame football team, while here to sec the early sprints of the six-day bicycle race and attend a banquet of alumni, found time to remark that 1t takes three field goals 10 beat a touch down." Notre Dame scored but one field goal throughout the past sea son. A good toeman may have been unnecessary 10 the RoCkne system of smashing advance, eXpertly carried out by one of the cleverest quartets of backfeld men America has ever seen in Stuhldreher, Crowley. Lay den and Miller, but other large in- slitutions have thrived this season on the field goal-notably Pennsyl- yania and Chicago,
 Pennsylvania, with nine victories and ono tie, rests at the statistical top of the eastern list while Chicago won the western conference race. The Quakers maintained their lead ership by defeating Columbia, 10 to ', and Georgetown, to O. two vic tories laid at the toe of Al kruez. Chicago overcame Missouri, to 0. Northwestern by the same score and tied Ohio, to 3.
 One of the most important kicks of the season was Sam Ewing's S three point boot for Princeton which conquered the Navy in a gruelling contest Y to 14. Mcbride of Syra- cuse kicked three to beat Columbia, 9 to (; Garbisch of the Army nego- tiated four to upset the Navy, 12 to c; Gehrke of Harvard threw terror into the Yale ranks with two field goals in the first half of the New Haven battle.
 Results of no games all over the country show that the field goal has attained a tremendously important place in football scoring. Fourteen contests were won by 3. to scores, and four were tied at 10 3. Le- high added safety to a field goal and defeated Muhlenberg, to 0.

LIGHTER GOLF. BALL
Gardner Claims that Light Weight Proves More Satisfactory to tho PiavprS.

Chicago, Dec. s.-RObert A. Gardner. president of the United States Golf association, speaking be- fore the Chicago District Golf as sociation, Of which he is president, announced last night that the par ent body would adopt a lighter ball as the annual conference in January and would stage the International Walker cup matches every two years instead of annually as at present.
 The lighter ball, Gardner said, had been shown by experiment to rise easily and carry within a few yards Of the distance obtained by the pres ent missile.
 Difficulty in financing yearly trips oCcasioned the change in the Walker cup competition, he said. Under the new arrangcment a United States team will visit in 1926, and the Britons will return here in 1928. Gardner was reelected head Of the District Association.

Mails pitched in two of those games. As relief pitcher in the third game of the series he blanked the RoHns for six innings. After that performance Mails said to me in the Cleveland clubhouse:
 "These birds are, fish for me. If Manager Speaker gives mo another shot at them I'll shut 'cm out again, and maybe l won't let 'em have a hit"
 As said before Walter has a fair estimate of Mir. Mails ability.
 Well. Speaker started him in the sixth game and the soNthpaw made good his word. Brooklyn was shut out with three hits. In that game Mails looked the part of the greatest lafthander in the world,
 Opposing Mails in that game vas the veteran Sherry smith. who held the Indians to one run. Smith so impressed Speaker that when Brook lyn headed him for the minors sev- IPral seasons later, Speaker grabbed iim. Last year Smith was one of Speakers bets bets.
