Speaking s g of Sports

The Corbin Screw basketball team, winner of it's third championship in the Industrial league proved to be d real champion last night. There was probably not a single person in the Stanley Arena who believed that the better team last night was the loser.
 The Corbin team entered the game without it's regular right for ward, Joe Luke, who Wrenched his arm tumbling at the Y. N. C. A. the night before. Charley Baker who took his place, performed in excel lent style and his team was not handicapped by his presence.
 The same five that started the game for each team finished. Sev- , eral had three personal fouls but none made the fatal fourth.
 Ed Woods who has been in charge of the Screw Shop team all season and has taken every reverse with smile took another tough break in d happy manner last night. In a close contact near him his eye glasses were broken but he went out of the hall happy because the team with hich he has labored all season, was successful in its objec- tive.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
-By WALTER. r. McCALLUM-

of the Maryland Park School has issued
a challenge on behalf of that school to
any golf team from the local high
schools to play on the pitch-and-pu
layout. A local jewelry house has put
up silver cup which will go TO the win
ming team in the high school series.
THAT grand old shot which every one
i used to play before the days of the
small, heavy ball-the run-up shot
, has come back in favor and must be
generally used on the golf courses now
adays. With putting green's frozen to
the hardness of concrete and pitch
shots careening merrily far over the
greens, the golfers who play these days
land there are many of them) are find
ing the lengthy pitch shot almost USE
less So the run-up shot is the shot
nowadayS-the same grand old shot
that all the old-time golfers used TO
play in wind back in the days Of the
Glory Dimple or the Zone. Zodiac and
the Black Domino and the other balls
of Is to rs years back. In those days
the man without a run-up shot was
helpless, for, although the pitch shot
was recognized as a fine shot, the rum
up shot was called for on most courses.
Built-up putting green's were then ale
most unknown and the run-up shot to
green lying almost level with the fair
way was the thing, both for accuracy
and Judgment of distance. Under pres
ent conditions the run-up shot Is the
shot to play with a slightly lofted iron
like q No. or a No. 3. And back in
those days there were no such clubs.
There was midiron and mashie and
that was all in the way of slightly loft
ed clubs. But nowadays we have irons
running all the way up into two figures
and the run-up shot has lost its use in
favor of the pitch. But try to play
high pitch to hard greens and see what
happens. You'll go back to the run-up,
unless you have to pitch over bunker
and nthat case all you can do is to hit
and pray.

In the opener, besides Krauss

HALO ALTO, Calf, December
- 26.-One Of the really great
L golf courses of the United
States may be found on the
campus of Stanford University, in
this beautiful little city. Located
in the Santa Clara Valley and be-
meath the serrated peaks Of the
Santa Cruz Mountains, it has a
natural beauty possessed by few
golf courses in North America,
The Stanford course, now one year
old, is built on q portion Of the old
Senator Leland Stanford estate. It's
smooth and winding fairways pass the
old stables and track, where the ia
nous champions Of the Stanford
Stables once were trained; wind up
hill and down into tiny valleys and
frequently are bisected by little
stream that babbles noisily
AS a test of golf the course has few
equals. From the middle tees it meas
ures 6,648 yards and may be stretched

smile for the first time since the Notre

Several Of Americas leading profess
sionals--including Walter Hagen-took
a crack at the Stanford course several
weeks ago and par still was hale and
hearty when they departed. The pro-
fessionals rate the course as a harder
test than Pebble Beach and the equal
Of almost any course in the East.
The completion of the golf course
gives Stanford one Of the finest and
most complete athletic plants in the
collegiate world. A new women's gym
