States, against William Mehlhorn of Chicago, formerly western open champion, in the finals at Olympia Fields Country club, both have dis played remarkable golf during the tournament,
 On the basis of coring thus far Mchlhorn is the faVorite for he not only shot Fl on No. 1 course, where the match will be played today, but ho clipped four strokes off par on No. course in defeating Morte Du- tra of Aberdeen, Wash, & and 6. On past records for consistent golf and successful competition, however, Hagen is first choice among the thousands who promised to consti- tute tho gallery.

COLGATE TEAM ID
 HAVE LONG TRIP
Football Squad Will Travel
 4,O00 Miles

Hamilton, N. Y, Sept. PC P'- Colgate university's football team will travel approximately 4,000 miles during its 1925 campaign. The white lines of gridirons in five diff fcrcnt states will feel the touch of the maroon cleat against such op- poncnts as Lafayette. Princeton, Michigan State, Syracuse and Brown.
 Captain Eddie Tryon, battle scared veteran of three previous campaigns and triplc-threat, is the key man in the combination which Coach Dick Harlow is grooming for this season.
 The blonde captain will do the major share of the kicking in addi- ton 10 a large share of the running and passing. So much does Colgate think of its field general that Coach Harlow is keeping him out of the early scrimmage to discount the pos sibilty of injury before the season swings into its heavy program.
 Earl Abcll, former Colgate all- American tackle, and Jim Welsh, star tackle from 1920 to 1923, are coaching the line candidates, while Coach Dick Harlow. the former Penn State mentor, is working with the backfeld. The line is Colgatc's greatest problem. In the forward ranks, graduation worked havoc.
 Harlow says his 1925 line will be light, but fast, with a low, lightning charge. Of last years team, only thrcc line veterans will be available Bcuthcl will be used either at guard or tackle, Levinson at an end and Dagrossa at center.
 In the backneld, Hclwig, Schmidt Mehler and Sicbold, all letter mer of last year. will be used with Try
 on to develop the best combna
 ton. It is likely that Harlow vii : shift the backfcld in all of the earl ' games to try out all of the possibl combinations.
