PASSESBYPFANN
ASTOUND ENGLISH
Former Cornell Star Might
RevoIutionize Rugby,
Oxford Fears.

OXFORD, November "a P).--While
ford are having their difficulties in
mastering the intricacies of the Eng
lish stroke, old foot ball stars from
the United States are having a still
harder time in learning the technique
of rugby, the English equivalent of
American foot ball.
Four American foot ball stars of
first rank are in the new group of
Rhodes scholars at Oxford. They are
George r. Pfann. former star Cornell
quarterback; n. X. Parker. captain of
Dartmouth's championship team,
and Caleb F. Gates and Norris Legen-
DIRE, both members of last year S
Princeton team.
All four of these men are now play
ing "rugger" for their respective col
lege teams-CIates at Balliol College.
Parker at Magdalen and Pfann and
Legendre at Brasenose College. All of
them confess to some bewilderment
in getting the hang Of the English
game.
English Players Amazed.
One of the rules of rugby is that
there shall be no forward passing.
The English content themselves with
short lateral passes, as in American
basket ball. On mastering the rule,
Pfann and Legendre attempted to add
a few American improvements to the
game.
AS soon as the ball was put into
motion in one Of the early plays Le-
gendre ran far off right end, well
out of the range of the customary
short English pass. Pfann. receiving
the ball, proceeded to shoot it to
Legendre by one Of the long overland
passes for which he was famous at
Cornell.
While the astonished Englishmen
looked on in wonder Legendre
snatched the ball out of the air and
ran for an unopposed touchdown.
Although the play was perfectly
legal, it was decided by the Brasenose
captain that such long-distance pass
ing would revolutionize the game.
Therefore the American players
were requested to use the traditional
short underhand pass in the future.

The fact that the officials did not

is because many elevens are doing it,
None the less it has some enemies,

in February.
Northwestern is the new factor in
Western Conference foot ball situa-
ton. For two years now the Evans

top and after a glance over the list
of freshmen who are coming up for
varsity places next season there is
hardly doubt that the suburban col
lege will put forth an eleven of eX-
ceptional merit.
Minnesota seems to be sponsoring
the move to include Notre Dame and
Nebraska in the Western Conference,
making a Big Twelve. The GopherS
have a certain self-interest in the prof.
ect. since in recent years they have
had trouble in listing even a fair num-
ber of conference games.
There Is no question that both the
CornhuSkerS and the South Bend in
stitution would welcome the chance to
be enrolled in this great organization.
Nebraska is already a member of the
Missouri Valley Conference and in the
matter of consistent strength is en-
titled to membership. For that matter
three or four of the Missouri Valley
teams are annually in a class with a
ma jority of the Big Ten outfits.
Notre Dame belongs to no confer
ence. but in the matter Of eligibility
and general methods the Indiana col
lege has long followed to the letter the
rules which govern the Big Ten
elevens.
If both the Nebraska and Notre
Dame teams were not as formidable
as they are year by year, the ques-
ton of thier admission to the confer
ence would never have come up. And
yet the very fact of their strength
may be the element that will keep
them out. A very interesting diplo-
matte battle is likely to ensue if the
two universities are proposed for
membership.
In the East nothing has been heard
concerning an organization of an East
ern Conference since the original dis
cussion was started following the dis
ruption of the Big Three. Perhaps

Higgins has been in constant COM

GOLFERS SPEND MILLIONS
FOR new PEG TEES ALONE

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-CP-The ex-
pense of teeing golf balls is ab,rt
to pass from golf clubs to the play
ers, judging from the enormous Lun.-
Der of peg tees now used, as shown
10y figures made public today. 1t was
only couple of years ago that peg
tees made their appearance. They had
to be given away at first to induce
golfers to use them, but now the sales
have mounted until one manufacturer
alone sold .50,000,O00 last year.
There are several varieties, includ-
ing a papier mache style nodded like
the wooden ones in the shape of a
miniature umbrella turned wrongside
out.
1t is estimated that the total sales
for 1925 were 1S0,OOO,O00. They re.
tail at IS for % cents, So that golfers
spent for 10,O00,000 cartons 81, $780,
900.
SAND BOXES DOOMED.
This expenditure was in addition
to the supplying of some 10000 sand
boxes on the 5000 golf courses at an
expense Of about so box. or nearly
81, 100000. 1t is predicted that the
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-26

price of wooden and paper tees will
be reduced in case their use becomes
universal and sand boxes viii dis
appear.
There has been much waste in using
these peg tees, as many are lost in
addition TO breakage.
But there have been cases in which
one tee has been used whole sea-
son. Willie Hunter, professional Mt
|Onwentsia club, recently displayed one
which he had used q whole season,
but where the professional and stas
amateur who can drive ball from the
crystal of q watch may use one tee
a long time, the duffer pounds them
to splinters in short order.
STARS USE PEGS
Nearly all the premier golfers use
the peg tees now and they tee the
ball high. depending on mighty drive
TO relieve them of further wooden club
work for almost any long hole. The
old theory was to tee low so that
brassie shot from close clipped turf
would not be much different from a
iced drive. But the long-carrying ball
has made the brassie almost obsolete
among the big stars of the links.

as coach of a college team, but so far
his offers have fallen on deaf ears.
Coach Tyson believes that his
greatest team was that Of 1921, when
the Tigers scored total Of 533 points
TO their opponents nothing.
Not one Of the eight teams that
played Waco that season were able to
penetrate within the Tigers 30-yard
line. Members OF that famous eleven
who have since become stars on the
Baylor team are Kelley, Walker, Sis
co, Nash, Fall, Strickland, Coates and
Cbambless. Bloody" johnson, who
was expected to develop into a bril-.
liant college performer. injured an
ankle in baseball and has never again
bit his stride.
Tyson has established a remark
able football system at the Waco
school. OF the 600 boys in the school.
100 are out for football. These 100
players are divided into three squads.
the Tigers" the Cannon Fodder. "
and the "All-Stars." All Of these
squads have separate locker rooms and
shower baths in the new 100000 gym
nasium at the school.
So well does Coach Tyson keep in
touch with the personnel Of these three
squads that he knows almost exactly
who will compose his team for the
next two yesns. Although only three
regulars Of his 1925 eleven will re-
turn next year, he already knows,
with one or two exceptions, his start
ing lineup for 1926.
The youngster who will play quar-
terback for Waco High School in 1928
has already been apprised Of that
fact. For the next two seasons he
will sit at Coach Tyson's side during
every contest, calling signals for every
