Smiths New Niblick.

CMITH reported with new type Of
- niblick which caught the crowds
attention from the jump. 1t was a
shallow-faced- looking instrument with
f1ange at the back and a curved,
rounded bottom-a new invention by
some Texas enthusiast.
It proved to be a great club for chip
ping out of traps, traps that were not
too deep. The ball came out much
after the manner of a short chip and
run, and it usually came out and stop
ped somewhere around the pin. It
fiicked through the sand easily, and as
Smith handled it the club never failed.
The tall Midwesterner proved again
that a golfer at last has come along
who can match Jones at chipping and
putting.
Smith again showed the remarkable
control and touch around the greens
that has been such factor in his con-
sistent scoring. It was rare on any
long approach putt from 40 to 70 feet
away that he left himself more than a
2-footer for the cup, and this over keen
greens with baff1ing slopes that he had
never seen before. He has the inborn
instinct for touch that only few have
ever known - Travis, TraVerS, Hagen
and Jones, to name those at the top in
this respect.
The Joplin wanderer is hitting the
ball easily and smoothly with both wood
and iron, and if he doesn't become over
golfed he will have a much better
chance abroad on his next attempt a
trifle later on.

The Washington team Will play In the

The play will be open to the public and

Whitaker, 1006 F. street northwest.
Owing to the absence from the city
of Norman T. Whitaker, captain OF the
Washington team, no further def1nlte
information relative to the makeup Of
the team can be given at this time.
The self ction of the team devolveS on
the team captain.
1t is believed that Whitaker, Turover,
Mlotkowski and Perkins, who played
in the first match and all OF whom
drew their games, again will be select
ed. The remaining two places are to
be filled, according to Whitaker, from
Fox, Walker Byler and Bishop. Fox
did not play in the flrst match. but Will
be chosen If available. In case OF his
absence from the team, the remaining
two pieces will be filled from Byler,
Bishop and Walker.
Byler's playing in the recent tour
nament showed him to be aggressive
capable, we'll versed in the openings,
with good position Judgment. He ap-
pears to be at his best.
Bishop also is we'll posted in the open
ings, has position judgment and Is q
good fighter, as shown in his game with
Byler. Walker is not as we'll up on
the modern openings, but Is a good
combination player and strong In end
game play.
In the recent District tournament
Byler wont from Walker, Walker won
from Bishop and Bishop from ByIer.
Again, Byler won from Walker, Walker
won from A. Y. Hesse and A. Y. Hesse
won from Byler. Which Is the best
player In these circles?
Concerning these three players, the
last issue Of the City Club Tribune
says: walkers play was marked by
fighting spirit throughout the tourna-
ment. In fact, 1t was the veteran 6
never-say-die spirit that won his game
with Knapp and kept him within strik-
ing distance of Byler, who led the pro-
ceSsion until the last round, when he
lost a vicious, hard-fought game TO
Bishop. Byler played some splendid
chess and, lacking the complex that he

The two courses at Augusta were
both championship battleflelds:. The
Forest -Ricker course Is around 6,oOO
wards in length. often narrow and al
ways well trapped. There was no way
of merely scraping out good score
One had to keep hitting the ball with
every club.
Jones started with Gene Sarazen and
Al Espinosa, two fine golfers. He started
with two SIS. But for the next 81 holes
he made good golf look ragged.
It was easy to see in this last double
round why even a fine golfer might
stumble and drop back. For, after start
ing with two SIS, Jones played the next
81 holes in IL strokes under even IS.
He was putting for a birdie on prac-
tically every hole. For these 81 consec-
utive holes his tee shots were soaring
from 260 to $50 yards down the middle.
every type of iron was humping the
ball up around the pin, from No. to
a mashie- -niblick. and his putting over
keen, sloping green's was remarkable,
true and consistent.
Just about all these qualities are needed
if one is to play 81 holes in ii under IS.
which is practically the same as IL un-
der par. An opponent not only has to
be a great golfer to face this pace, but
he must be a great golfer at the top
crest of his game-a great golfer on
good day. Otherwise he will soon be
melted by the terrific heat that is burn
ing up the course from wood and iron.
Just good, average golf begins to look
too puny, and in the effort to match this
display a fine game might soon turn
spotty and sour.

- A T H HOL1C UNIVERSITY
probably will abandon its
plans for varsity track
team this Spring and can
eel the partial schedule it has
arranged. Depletion of the squad
through scholastic ineligibility is
given as the reason for the action,
but it also is possible that the be-
ginning of Spring foot ball prac-
tice may have something to do
with it. It is the intention, ap-
parently. to have a freshman team
and Lsgi1 this Spring to build a
foundation for the future of the
sport at Brookland.
Coach Dorsey Griffith said this morn
ing that he actually has in training
only six eligible varsity men, so that the
holding of dual meets simply is impos-
sible. Therefore, the only action left
for the Brookland coach is TO ask
schools that have been scheduled to re-
lieve them of the obligations. No doubt
other schools. when they are cognizant
of the situation, will be glad to ac-
QuieSce in helping the BrooklanderS out
of a somewhat difficult situation.
Just what effect the beginning of
Spring foot ball has had on the track
squad has not been made known and
perhaps it has not had any. However,
in the great majority of schools Spring
foot ball is carried on without any re-
gard for other sports and coaches of
Spring pastimes in many institutions do
lot of grumbling about it. One coach
at prominent university in the South
Atlantic section recently said: Spring,
or rather Winter, foot ball is running
basket ball here. 1t takes out for foot
ball the very men who should make the
best candidates for our teams"
In all probability at Catholic Univer-
sity, it will be found that many of the
track and field men will be out for
gridiron practice, which undoubtedly
has come to be so important in the uni
versity mind that about everything else
Is being subordmated to its interests.
University of Maryland teams go out
today to open their schedules in three
sports. The ball team tries conclusions
with Cornell, the track squad with
Washington and Lee and the lacrosse
twelve with Randolph-Macon. The Old
Liners figure their chances with Cor
nell should be just about even, with
washington and Lee a little against
them. with Randolph-Macon consider
ably in their favor. The ball game and
the track meet are to start at o'clock
and the Lacrosse game at T.
Cornell succumbed to Georgetown
yesterday in their ball game on the
Washington Barracks grounds. The
Ithacans simply were not as good as
the Blue and Gray and would lose four
out of every five games they might play
on the local field. Yesterdays victory
gives Georgetown seven straight games
in its won column. Good pitching by
Noznesky about the best fielding the
team has done this year, and oppor-
tune work with the stick were reasons
for Georgetown's winding up the game
with the long end of the score by a
big margin Mccarthy and Dunn led
in the batting for Georgetown with
three hits each out of three and four
trips, respectively, to the plate. The
