NAVY TO USE LLOYD
AS BACK NEXT FALL

ANNAPOLIS, June II, - Naval
Academy foot ball coaches expect to
strengthen their backfield greatly by
the use of Russell Lloyd, former
Peddie athlete and regular end last
season in the backfield This change
has been determined upon, and Lloyd
was broken in as a back dHrfflg gpffng
practice.
Lloyd covers the hundred in close
to fiat time in spite of the fact that his
playing weight is about EOS pounds,
and his speed, strength and aptitude
Tor the game will, it is thought, insure
his usefulness as back.
Playing end last year in the Colgate
game, Lloyd's alertness and fleetness
prevented the Navy teams record
from being marred by defeat when he
recovered a fumbled ball and sprinted
9S yards for touchdown
In addition to his other ouaIifica-
tons, Lloyd handles the ball we'll both
on both ends of forward pass PLAYS
and 1t is expected that he will be used
largely along this line next season.
me strength of the squad in end
material has made it practicable to
spare Lloyd to the backfield. The first
cnolces Tor the wing position are Ted
sloane, who was rated as All-Amer
lea end in 1925, when he was PLAYING
with Drake, and Paul Moret. who
Played end on the freshmen Of the
University of Michigan and with the
Plebes last season.
Otner strong wingmen are Taylor

Morets teammate on the excellent
FleDe eleven of last season.
In spite of severe losses NV tic
graduation Of the class of 1927. the
OUTLOOK is that the Naval team will be
as strong in the backfield and at ends
as 1t was last year.

II N l.
- golf professionals of the United
States and England, and a
L handful of star amateurs,
headed by Bobby Jones, are
now engrossed in the task of nego-
tiating one of the most difficult golf
courses in the country in quest of the
national open title.
But though the links Of the Oak
mont Country Club. which CLEAN
like a f1awless gem some II miles be-
yond Pittsburgh's smoky pail, are
characterized by as many natural haz-
ards as a Government park in the far
West, by rough areas from whose
bourne no sliced or hooked ball ever
returns, as we'll as by precisely 1913
sand traps, pit traps and bunkers,
there.is no course in the world more
scrupulousIy maintained.
The greens are of billiard table
smoothness, qualified to superinduce
a minimum of friction to a rolling
ball, while the fairway turf is of lawn
like texture and beauty.
81 Will Qualify.
Starting away today in pairs, the
golfers to the number of $50 will play
IS holes today and again on Wednes-
day. On Thursday the 81 players who
have the lowest scores Will play Tue
final SO holes of the 72-hole match.
If pro wins he receives money and
a trophy; if an amateur wins he re-
ceives nothing but the trophy. So
when an amateur prevails, the prose
grind their teeth with chagrin to see
good money going to waste. Since
1894, when this tourney was organized,
not many amateurs have won it.
Francis Ouimet was the first, turning
the trick in that historic play-off
against the two English stars, Vardon
and Ray in 1918.
Jerry Travers won it in 1915 and
Chick Evans in 1916. Bobby Jones
brought anguish to the professional
heart in 1923 and again in 1926. Bobby
has won twice and finished second in
this great event since 1921 and now
he is the favorite again--all of which
causes him to be viewed with admira-
ton, but hardly with love by the play
ers who make their living from golf.

nists Of this golf match, an observer is

Course of Over 1000 Yards for Open Tourney at

Likely to Stump Even Bobby Jones.
BY o. 3. KELLER.

VERY year. in the open cham
- pionship OF golf, the perennial
struggle between the best
IL golfers in the world and Old
Man Par is renewed. And
while you hear and read often of the
drubbing of cold Man Par on this
course and that, in this match or the
other, you have yet to hear where
the stubborn old fellow ever has sue
cumbed, in the United States or Great
Britain, to any golfer in The standard
combat of four rounds-the long
route of Y holes.
In Canada, at the fine Hamilton
course, in 1919, Old Man Par once
took a beating at his own game, in
the Canadian open championship,
when the late ]. Douglas Edgar. just
over from England, shot him full of
holes with cards of 72-71-69-66-278.
and set the lowest mark ever scored
in d national open championship.
Best U. S. Mark, 286.
But the low mark in Great Britain
is 291, held jointly by James Braid at
Prestwick and Bobby Jones at St.
Anne's. And in this country Chick
Evans, with a score of 286 at the
Minikahda course near Minneapolis,
stands at the top. Gene Sarazen,
with 288 at Skoxie in the open cham
pionship of 1922, is next. And long
Jim Barnes, with 2S9 at the CO.
lumbia Country Club, Washington, in
1921, is the only other to win a United
States open championship with a
score better than 290.
Indeed, the United States Golf
Association Red Book discloses the
fact that only three other players
ever have broken 200 in that fixture.
Jock Hutchinson in 1916 shot a card
of 28S at Minigahda to be runner-up
to Chick Evans. Bobby Jones and
the venerable John Black tied at 289
as co-runners-up to Sarazen at Skokie.

vaders are all of one type, fair, with

They look with mingled emotions upon

acts as though he and not they were

Different for BritOns.

would happen to an American club
member who was so foolhardy as to
crook his finger at Walter Hagen
with II say there, Hagen. my man."
No wonder the British pros flock to
this land of equality and take up their
residence here. If old Albion wishes
to keep her pros at home one of the
very first and most important steps
would be to take her pros out of groom
and footman class.
Another interesting impression re-
ceived in watching the British and
Americans is that whereas one would
expect representatives of a nation
where golf originated and was devel-
oped to reveal a very patent and very
distinguished style. they do not shine
in this respect. When it comes to
stylistic achievement, to shots made
with every nicely of detail and man.

Unbeaten and United.
And of this gallant sextet. not one
has beaten or tied that steady old
chap who never gets down in a single
putt and never takes three; who
never shoots birdie at you, nor in
ours a buzzard. Not one of the Six
Musketeers has equaled Old Man Par
over the long route.
Minikahda, Columbia, Skokie-all
were ranked a strict par of 20, and
four times 10 amount to ESQ. So even
the brilliant Shick, in the top place
today, was half a dozen strokes off the
traditional opponent in his record
bout at Minikahda. Sarazen was two
strokes a round back of the old fellow
at Skokie; and Jim Barnes was two
and a quarter strokes. though Barnes
and Sarazen and Evans each had one
round that beat Old Man Par-for
one round.
And now we have Oakmont. and
Old Man Par stands on the first tee
as the 1927 open championship be-
gins-and who will beat him there,
or tie him?
Oalmont Longer Now.
No one, 1 think. The Oakmont par
today is 72. But it used to be "A. And
the course is longer and more severe
today. Four times az is 2S8. And that
has been beaten but once and tied but
twice in our American championship.
And then on courses which were short

at Oakmont, with it's 1000 yards and
its $50 furrowed bunkers.
They'll be shooting at him in this
championship. Bobby Jones has
knocked over the impartial old fellow
in a practice round of 81 two years
ago before the national amateur cham
pionship at Oakmont. Bobby is in this
field, too; and the pick of the golfng
world. But I'd like to have a modest
wager on Old Man Par at Oakmont.
