And when are added to these the
freshmen from the 1928 squad and
the freshmen of this year, who, by
the way, are said to be exceptionally
promising and certain to beat out
some of the old men for regular
berths, it may well be realized that
c. U. has an exceptionally good out
look.
Veterans who are ready for practice
this afternoon are: Fitzgerald, Moni-

will have as his assistants in coach
ing DR.. Jack Hegarty and Ed Lynch.
DIR. HeGarty coached successfully at
North Carolina State College for three
years, while Lynch has just grad
uated and has had no coaching eX-
perience. Lynch is expected to prove
exceptionally valuable in the general
handling of the squad.
Byrne and BrOEan are much sought
members of the Georgetown foot ball
squad, now in training at Orange.
Va. Byrne, dependable back, and,
incidentally, a Washingtonian, has
not yet reported for practice, while
Brogan. regular tackle, has made
himself conspicuous by his continued
silence.
Practice for the Blue and Gray
outfit so far has consisted of little
more than drills in fundamentals,
but if reports are taken at their face
value some of these drills have not
been child's play by any means. At
least the bruises some of the candi-
dates complain of indicate that.
Dick Hurley, who formerly was a
member of the Central High School
squad, is trying for a place in the
backf1eld of the Western Maryland
College eleven. According to Coach
Shroyer, he is expected to make good.
After a week spent trying to find
somebody who gives some promise
of making a. center, the University
of Maryland squad is no nearer a
solution of the problem of finding
somebody to fill Pollock's vacant
shoes than it was when it began last
Tuesday. Five men have been doing
nothing but practice on those things
that have to do with playing center
and they have had the entire atten-
ton of one man, Pollock, last years
pivot, but the progress made seems
to be along the lines that nature
effects her changes-with extreme
slowness. All five of the candidates
picked as possibilities at the start
of practice weigh more than 40
pounds, with the exception of Lewis,
who tips the beam at 15S, but play
ing center does not seem to be the
strong point of any of them. Ward,

Decision In the Barnett case hinges
on the edict of Ernest r. Anderson,
secretary Of the P. G. A, as to
whether Mel Shorey incurred a two
sand in a trap at Columbia on August
25 while his ball remained in the
hazard. If the two-stroke penalty
was incurred Barnett goes to French
Lick, while If the penalty is not i'm
posed Shorey will go. Opinion of the
pros seems to be that the penalty
will be imposed.

Of formidable contenders for Max
Marston's amateur crown, which will
be in jeopardy ten days hence. In
winning the gold mashie by a shot
over Jess Sweetser, Corkran defeated
a field of several of the leading anna
teurs of the nation, including the
present champion and last years
amateur champion. 'Ducky," as he is
known to his many Washington
friends. has defeated Marston several
times in match play in and around
Philadelphia in the last three years.
Columbia Jumped into first place in
the interclub series yesterday by a
decisive 14-to-3 victory over the team
of the Indian Spring Golf Club at
Columbia. Another scheduled match
that between Washington and Ban
nockburn at Washington-was post
poned. Indian Spring won but three
matches, with F. E. Lewis and s. r.
Speelman winning their individual
matches.

lead, but with only three more holes
to go was still 8 to the bad. Then
1 captured the 34th and 35th, and,
playing the 3sth, had my chance to
haul alongside the obdurate Mark
well.
The 36th called for an iron or spoon
shot of 1S0 to 200 yards after a
good drive. Markwells second car
ried him past the flag, but left him
on the green, a few feet from the
edge. Unfortunately. for me, mine
went into a sand trap at the right,
and when I came up l found the ball
in a hanging lie on the bank of the
trap farthest from the green.
The situation looked very bad. If
Markwell halved the hole, he would
win the match and put me out of the
tournament AS for me, it seemed
that I would be lucky even to get a
halve.
Using my niblick, I picked my ball

TELLING YOUR FORTUNE

Man strains eye sockets trying to
look into the future. Man is self
centered and selfish, hoping that
his glimpse of things to be will give
him advantage over his fellowmen.
Eyes but cannot see" was truly
written.
All existence has been living cx-
ample of how to know the future. Still
the multitudes follow will-o'-wisp ideas
and waste life in an effort to know
in advance of things to come.
When man finally learns that SUI
preme Power is not earthly; that it
cannot and will not be swayed by hui
man wish or thought then man will
quit striving for selfish advantage,
and find happines, health, success,
peace and plenty
TChristianitW", You say. Then
we ask: what is Christianity" But
your interpretations are narrow, big
cted and selfish.
Christianity is expressed in your
every thought, word and act of your
life every day and night. If every
thought, word and act expresses Love
for Your fellowman-thcn you are a
Christian. Otherwise you cannot make
claim.
1t is the story OF ages. Men in
spircd, men with vision, men with
courage, have risen above the hordes
throughout existence by partially liv-
ing to this rule of life. They could
look into the future-andI they saw
that they need not expect more from
life than put into it.
The short cut to peace, happiness
health and success is not in knowing
the future but in starting today to
make every thought, act and word un-
selfish andsLOVELY.
By so living, no matter who or what
you are, the reward is assured and
positive. God is no respecter of per-
sons. Live in that confidence and
your future will unfold bigger and bet
ter than any human seer could fore
tell
