n TO the readers of these fraS-

\ Walter Hagen proved him.

toner as usual in the annual cham
pionship of the Professional Colt
ers' Association.
He won it for the fourth time IN
succession, and the fifth time IN
all. His performance at Dallas,
Tex, leaves him with record ol
winning 20 consecutive 36'hole
matches in national championship
competition.
And Sir Walter in his younger
days started out to be ball player.
You knew, very likely, that waiter
had purchased a considerable, per
haps a controlling, interest in the
Rochester club of the international
League, and upon the conclusion or
the Dallas tournament he set out
for Rochester to look after his bali
club.
This marks the achievement of
an ambition of many years for the
Haig. He always has wanted a ball
club. And three years ago he told
me why he was q golfer instead OF
q ball player.
II was better at base ball than
at golf. as a youngster," said Slr
Walter. II think | liked base ball

were pitching a ball game, my per-

men beside myself, not counting
couple of umpires. Bad fielding
back of me might ruin a well
pitched game. If l were batting,
and hit one on the nose, some
fielder on the other side might jump
up and spear the ball in his glove.
If l were winning. the credit must
be shared. and If l were losing,
somebody else might be causing it.
THE more l considered this divi-
sion of credit and debit, that more
began thinking of golf.
Golf is the most acutely individ
ual of all games. even games in
which only two take part. In box
ing or tennis, for example, If you
are playing your own game well,
your opponent Is not permitted to
play his game properly. But In golf
you cannot interfere with your OPP
ponent in any way, unless he per-
mits himself to be interfered with
by watching your performance,
which has nothing to do with his
own, save for an occasional stymie
in match play.

| In 1903 it was made two per member
of Congress for a four-year course; in
| 1915, three for a four-year course; in
| 1917. five for four-year course. This
last continued until 1923, when it was
put back to three for every member
of Congress.
The actual total number of appoint
ments now authorized is as follows:

men killed in World War. 40. Total,
2.205. 1t seems that there is lot
of difference between the authorized
| number and the actual enrolment.
For instance. when the academy had
its peak enrolment in 1924 OF 2.499,
the authorized number was 3,233.
| This difference is accounted for by the
large number of appointees who fail
lin entrance exams and the attritlOn
constantly going on after entrance.
The percentage of those entering who
are graduated is about GO.

Age Difference Important.
Capt. T. l.. Oliver L. S. n. writes
that when he entered the Naval Acad-
emy in 1897 the age limit was Is to
20. 1t is now IS to 20. He finds that
the average entrance age in the past
five years has been IS years and &
months. West Points entering age
limit for many years has been II to
% years. The average probably
would be around 20. This most GER
tainly is an advantage.
You know only too well,' Capt.
oliver writes, what vast difference
a few years make in a lads physique
when he is II or IS. This difference
in maximum age is what let's down
the bars at West Point to college
players and closes Annapolis to them
Were it an even choice l should say:
It's fair race, go to it and let the
devil take the hindmost.' The Navy
contends that the difference in average
age of entrance more than offsets the
somewhat larger enrolment at An
napols.'

CHICAGO, December 7.-Indica-
tions around the Big Ten are that
Michigan will do all the pioneering
relative to maintaining a full sched :
ule for two foot ball teams next Fall.
While only one coach in the con-
ference, Richard Hanley of North
western has openly denounced the
Michigan plan. some coaches have
refused to announce such plan at
their schools mostly because of Short
age of material.
Coach Hanley predicted that il
any schools insist on the smaller
conference members competing with
them on a two-term basis it will
mean a split in the Big Ten. AS
far as he is concerned, Northwestern
will have only one team on the. foot
ball field next Fall, he said.
Northwestern, like several other
schools in the conference does not
have enough men out for foot ball, !"
Coach Hanley explained. This Fall
we had only 1900 men in school and
A foot ball candidates was our rec
ord crop. Schools having 5000 men
proba bly, can do it easily.
II believe this policy would serve
only to emphasize the sport still
more. rather than reduce any over
emphasis reformerS claim 1t will
mean more coaches and the conse
quent increase in the pay roll. 1t
will also mean that instead Of less
ening students migrating, it will serve
to increase this as the second team
playing away from home would nat
urally have to remain out Of classes
en- route
Prof. o. L. Long, chairman of the
Northwestern conference of faculty
representatives, however, said he felt
the plan would be good one, giving
more men q chance to play.
Coach A. A. Stage Of Chicago said
the reason he is not eager to try
the plan is because Of shortage of
material. Minnesota athletic heads
said that while they have no plans
for two teams in 1928, they may give
the plan a tryout later. Iowa has
