Well, it turned out to be a most excit-

At this point Reynolds got a bit off
form, and, while Maxwell reached the
green in two, leaving himself with two
puts for a par 4, his opponent took
stormy trip down the course which end
ed in mis- running up strokes and still
not getting on the green.
More than this, he had a very difficult
shot. His third had placed him in rough

OF the green. To top off his difficulties
his ball was in a hanging lie. Also the

side OF the trap, the side he would have

TRIO OF FOOT BALL
EVILS POINTED OUT

CHICAGO. April 11.-Physical in
structorS must take It upon them
selves to remove the evils of inter-
collegiate foot ball or college presi-
dents will some day abolish it, Prof.
w. G. Savage, head of the depart
ment of physical education at Oberlin.
told the Middle West Society of
Physical Education at the convention
here.
'I have been pictured as a Boil
shevist because my position has been
misconstrued," said Prof. Savage
Don't get me as wanting to abolish
intercollegiate foot BALI want to
save 1t. If we do not correct II, its
reform will be undertaken by persons
less sympathetic with 1t, who will
probably do away with 1t altogether.
There are three evils. One Is the
emphasis on victory which dismisses
a coach if his team loses a few games.
1t was a fine act of tho trustees of
the University of Minnesota to in
vestigate the complaints of the NJ
Club against Bill Spaulding before
permitting him to be dropped. They
found that there was nothing TO 1t
except that some of the alumni were
too greedy for victors, and they told
them SO.
The second evil is comme rcialism
and the excessive sums spent on
intercollegiate foot ball. 1 under
stand Ohio State spent the most OF
last year on intramural foot ball.
$4,000 for all their students engaged
in intramural foot ball, while for the
few students on the varsity teams I
will venture they spent as much as
S250OOO The third evil is that too
few students benefit from intercol-
legiate foot ball, despite the dispro-
portionate amount invested in It,"
Competitive athletics can substitute
for war, in so far as the satisfaction
of certain human instincts and feel
ings is concerned, Coleman Griffith
of the department of physical educa-
tion. University of Illinois, said.
Patriotism, courage, moral and
mental discipline and physical hardi-
hood, he said, concerned generally as
among positive influences of war, can
be supplied through competitive ath-
letics.
His subject was athletic Compe-
tftion, an Influence for Peace in In
fternational Relations"
William J. Began, assistant superin-
tendent of Chicago public schools. in
another address, said that physical
education is probably as good a men-
| tai disciplinarian as the studies OF
mathematics or the classical Ian
guages, pointing out that the disci-
| pIine derived from the latter does
not carry over into other subjects.
The whole program of studies, he
said. may be overturned in a few

Surgeons seem unable to diagnose
the trouble and Moore has been or
dered back to Pittsburgh for con-
sultation with a home doctor in
whom Dreyfuss has faith.
Jinx Deals Hard Blow.
The jinx certainly put in good
work with both these National
League teams and in season, too,
when they hoped to shine more re-
splendently than they had in years.
The jinx seems to be lurking over
short and second, vital positions to
both teams, as it is their infields
which need oil in particular, although
the Cubs can take a lot of help in
the outfield, too.
But If Moore Is unable to play sec
ond base the Pittsburghs are not
without strength. Don't think that
for the moment They have a young
player by the name of Thompson
who was with Omaha last year anG
who was commented upon most ia
vorably in these dispatches. He i:
a coming star. Thompson is almost
as good a fielder as Moore. He may
not bat as well. He bats like {
real thumper some of the time, but
then again he isn't so sure of him
self. He is one of those batter:
who can hit some pitchers mile ant
miss others two miles.
Much speculation has been ad-
vanced as TO what kind of SECOND
baseman Moore would make, anC
some who had no chance to see him
in Spring work declared he never
could fill Maranville's shoes.
Moore Great Player.
Unwise men. Not only would ht
have filled them, but he would have
run over at the edges in them. The
Pittsburgh inf1eld would have beer
the fastest thing In the Nationa
League and second only TO the speed
combination at Washington. Moor,
can field as we'll at second base a!
Maranville ever did and, perhaps, bet
ter. He showed 1t in every move.
But a fielder who can't throw ism

but he can't stand up, and Moor
