FORMAL OPENING
 AT SEQU|N CLUB
SeVenty.eight Entries Compete
 in IS Hole Medal Play

The Sequin Golf club playing season was formally opened last Sat. urday with the largest entry in the history of the organization. Sev. enty-eight members, teed off for the IS hole medal play full handicap match and before 1t was over, tally ing scores showed 1t to be battle between rivals of an ancient lineage namely Hartford and New Britain golfers.
 Entries were received in three classes, A,'B and B. and honors were about evenly divided between the Hardware and Capital City as the returns began to roll in.
 The course was in excellent shape greens were nice and hard and the bare spots were rare and very small. The fairways. though condemned by a number whose luckless shots found the rough more times than the closely cropped grass, were ex- cellent and made for fast play and good scores.
 Three members ended the Class A play tied with a net of 76. Harry Myers of New Britain upheld the honor and glory of the local sharp shooters by tying r. D. Ross and c. H. Sherwood of Hartford. The scores of the leading players in this class were as follows: Harry Myers, New Britain. gross S5, handicap g, net 76; F. D. Ross, Hartford. 79-3- 76: c. H. Sherwood, Hartford. N-11 -76: H. Anderson. New Britain. 9O-S-S2: H. Vessels. s5-12-s3. and R. J. Ross. Hartford. 95-12-83.
 In Class B, and argument has arisen as to which city should re- ceive the first honors for the day. Rev. w. A. Downey of Hartford took the laurels with a net of 70. but New Britainites claim that Hartford stole him away from this city and that he first learned his golf here anyway. The leading scores in this section were as fol- lows: Rev. w. A. Downey. Hartford, SS-1s-7o: H. M. Donnelly. New Britain. S7-14-73; w. A. Farrell, Hartford. 91-1S-73: E. A. Robin son, Hartford. s2-1S-74: A. H. Schilling. New Britain. sS-1s-75; A. G. Mason. Hartford, 91-16-75; A. F.. Thornton, New Britain. s1-16 -75; Dr. w. NJ. stockwell. Hart ford, sO-14-76; E. B.

 New Britain lost no time in taking the honors in the Class c play. Three Hardware City men came in first. The scores of the leaders leaders were as follows: A. W. Borg, New Britain. 10o-30-70: B. l.. Champion, New Britain, 101-29-72; Fl. l.. White. New Britain, 95-23- 72: A. W. Wainwright. Hartford, 1o7-34-73; R. V. Bonadies. Hart ford, s9-26-73; A. P. White.

TALES MOVEMENT
 DRAWS INTEREST
Gridnon Followers Anxious to
 See Effect of Reforms

New York. May 1T R-Yale's
 moves to abolish scouting of football
 opponents and to assure neutrality of referees brought the gridiron game into unusual preseason promi- hence today.
 With the game already changed by sweeping revisions in the rules since last fall, Its followers looked forward with interest to the coming season when the Yale reforms and innovations are to go into effect.
 Most attention centered on the Eli agreement with its 1927 sched- ule mates to abandon the practice of scouting. one of the most firmly rooted inside" features of the game. Consent of Yale's opponents Bowdoin. Georgia, Brown. Army. Dartmouth, Maryland. Princeton and Harvard-assured a fair trial for the principle, The Uni- versity of Rochester ato intends to try it. Tad Jones. head coach at Yale. has long been opposed to scouting and last year entered an agreement with Bill Roper of Princeton not to scout each others teams
 "The practice of securing expert reports on the play and players of opposing teams has rapidly devel- oped into 8 formal and expensive system" said the Yale manifesto which declares scouting contrary to the best interests and spirit of col lege sport
 The Ell move against scouting for one season. as an experiment, Harvard replied with proposal that Yale and Harvard coaches ex- change whatever formations they use in their seven preliminary games" The letter declared for "open covenants rather than pro- hibitory agreements" and suggested that each institution invite the op- posing coach to watch its games.
 The Eli move agaonst scouting followed the initiative taken by Tad Jones in obtaining agreement of an eastern Big Ten" or appointment Of dictator. not yet named. to select officials for the more important games. This was designed to reduce any feeling of obligation a referee might have, un- der old system, toward the coach who obtained his appointment. h. stitutions committed to the plan are Army Navy. Pennsylvania. Colum- oia, Cornell, Brown. Dartmouth, Yale. Harvard and Princeton.
 With the 1927 game, on some yridirons at least, shorn of it's scout ng feature and under supervision of .he dictator, this years brand of football promises to present a altered aspect. The trans formation will be heightened by new rules which, among other things, 1 move the goal posts ten years back | of the playing field, curb the shift | md encourage the lateral and back ward pass.
 Some proposals designed to curb |, alleged over-emphasis of the game, have been rejected. however. The | Dartmouth college athletic council | rejected the suggestion of the insti- .ution's president, Ernest NJ. Hop- lins. for substitution of under graduate coaches for paid mentors, reserved decision on his plans for of play to sophomores and juniors and endorsed developing of .wo major teams at each college to play reciprocal "home-and- home games

By Les COnklin

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.--A sensa.
tional and profitable fistic feud had
been settled today by Sid Terris' de.
cisive victory over Phil McGraw
here last night. The flashy New
York lightweight won nine Of the
ten rounds and proved conclusively
that he is the Detroit florists mas.
ter.
1t was the third and rubber"
bout between the pair. In the first
scrap ferris took a close decision
after being fIoored four times in the
first round. McGraw was awarded
the second bout on a foul. The Sc

to both boxers Their three bouts

almost enough to make a Tunney or
a Dempsey raise an inquiring eye

but he didn't. Perhaps he was
dreaming Of another golden
gate in Detroit, McGraw's home
town, or perhaps he was think.

Of n prolonged transforming
tour with McGraw, like the ones
Jack BrittOn and Ted Lewis
used to make years ago.
During the early rounds Terris
was in there peppering the Detroit

smashes and stiff left jabs. Then
he reverted to the defensive tactics
which once earned for him the

over AZ Annapolis they have
expressed the thought that if

is no eleven the Midshipmen
authorities would rather book

game here in Washington at
Clark Griffith Stadium.
AS the days slip by without
any sign of Army and Navy
mending their differences, the
impression is growing that The
service teams are unalterably
divided as to an eligibility code
and that perhaps, after all, their
annual meetings are a thing Of
the past.
In other sections of the 'coun-
try the same belief seems to
prevail, for we note by the daily
prints that Princeton is angling
for the open date which would
be created with a view of TAX
ing on Army.
What sort Of a set-up would
that make for the afternoon Of
November "a, next - George
town VS.. Navy at Washington
and Princeton VS.. Army at Pal
mer Stadium?
Both Of those games sound
like "naturals" to us, and it
would not be at all surprising
if two such novel contests were
arranged, in view of the present
status of things. Navy doesn't
want to back down from its
3-year playing demands and
Army doesn't want to accede to
them. Then the only thing for
each institution to do with dig
nifty is to go their separate
ways until such a time Is they
can reconcile their views,

twon and Navy. Their meeting
would decide no championship,
but championships in football
being more or less mythical
anyway. no title would neces-
sarily have to be involved to
make their meeting desirable.
There is no authority in Wash
ington but what comedies that
the only question about such a
game would be where to put the
spectators who would want to
see those teams try conclusions.
Mr.. Charles Larkin, 2701 Con-
necticut Ave-, is quite enthusias-
tic over the suggestion that
Georgetown assume the date
which will be left open in case
Army refuses to acquiesce with
Navy's eligibility code. He
writes:
"A Navy-Georgetown game on
November "a, 1928, would be
the biggest thing this town has
seen in an athletic way since
Clark Griffith won us pen
nant and gave US a world series
spectacle.
"This game should be not
only of interest to Hilltop Of
ficials but to official Washing
ton generally. Let's see the
Chamber Of Commerce get busy
and help the local newspapers
get this really big game for
D. c."
As to the Army-Princeton
proposition, it has its merits
too. Since Army already plays
Yale and Harvard, the Princeton
game would round out a trip
through the former Big Three
which would be a delight to
those who still look upon Yale,
Harvard and Princeton as the
ne plus ultra of gridiron,
