CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December 16.-
The contention that Harvard and
American colleges in general have re-

sports than the English universities was
made in the annual report of the Grim

day
The report which reviewed Harvard's
sports activities for 1929, showed in
comparative figures the stress laid on
post-season and international compe-
tttions by English collegians.
There are many" the report stated,
"whoSe idealistic conception of college
athletics is a purely intra mural pro-
gram with possibly one final game. The
example most quoted (and incorrectly
quoted) Is England, where there is sup
posed to be only one important game

ford and Cambridge. In academic cir
cles, especially, this notion has become
fixed.

Master Linksman of All
Times Makes His
Case Clear
BY HERBERT PARKER
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. lS.-Rl-Bob-
by Jones, master golfer Of all times,
who has retired from competition
in order TO make sound films, has
left as a heritage a wide-opel
battle for the four American and
British national championships he
holds.
Nowhere on the horizon at present
does there loom any amateur with
the golfing gifts needed 10 dupli-
cate Bobby's unprecedented feat Of
winning all four national titles IN
a single year. Perhaps there never
will be another Jones.
The stocky Atlanta lawyer. alone
among amateurs, consistently has
beaten the professionals at their
own game. Four times he has won
the American open against the best
pros and amateurs in the game and
thrice the British open fell to his
amazing skill.
With his retirement. II seems
certain that the pros again Will
dominate both open tournaments
for certainly amateur ranks contain
no figure even approaching Jones
in shot-making ability OF in stead
mess under fire.
Others Too
1t is a coincidence, and an odd
one, that the last few months,
thai George Won Elm and Johnny
Goodman, the only players who
have beaten Jones in the American
amateur in the last seven years.
both have announced their retire
ment as amateurs. Won Elm beat
Bobby IN the final round at Ma
tusrol in 1926 and Goodman elm
mated him IN the first round at
Pebble Beach in 1929. IN every other
year the Albanian emerged victor.
Press comment on Jones decision
TO renounce his amateur status was
almost uniformly favorable.
The New York Herald Tribune
called Jones decision most under
standable, most natural"
Who in his position would not
welcome the profitable opportunity
10 teach golf through motion pic
tures?" the editorial continued. .For
AAC %1NA6AANd 4dheCA - 4Adl4h 1dIlAlb
Of the amateur problem there can
be nothing but praise. He prefers
not TO be IN any twilight zone. but
recognizes fully the commercial ap-
plicatlon Of the motion picture
contract. II is a straightforward,
unequivocal decision and certainly
neither the motives nor the attitude
Of Mr.. Jones toward golf in its com
mercial phase can be criticized.
Honored
Herbert Fl. Ramsay, president
elect OF the United States Golf
Association, through whom Jones
statement was made public, paid
this tribute TO the champion:
He has unquestionably, during
his career. made the greatest COM
petitive record in the history OF the
game. Aside from that, though, his
character and personality are such
tina. he has become a popular world
figure. His withdrawal from COM
petition will be greatly regretted by
everyone"
There were similar expressions OF
regret in England.
