NAVY NINE IN FIRST
BATTLE TOMORROW

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 29.-Sports
for Winter and Spring overlap at the
Naval Academy tomorrow, fencing and
indoor rife matches remaining from the
schedule of the former, while base ball
game with Franklin and Marshall in
augurates the outdoor season.
The fencing match, with Pennsylva-
mia Athletic Club, and the rifle match

READY TO Be USED
SUNDAY AT LATEST
Winter Rules at Columbia
Argued by STEVENSON
and Mackenzie.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

~ HARTMAN DAVE THOMSON OF
the Manor Club green's COM
mittee, hopes to open the
woods" nine of the course to-
morrow or Sunday, depending on how
quickly the course dries out after til
rain Of midweek. The first nine OF
the regular 18-hole layout at Manor has
been closed since last Fall, and the
members have been using the second
nine of the regular course and the So
called inside nine" which is used by
the woman players during the golf
keeper Hines has been busy clearing out
the woods and cleaning up the fairways
OF the new first nine holes, which was
opened last May. The first nine, when
in use, makes Manor one of the hardest
tests OF golf about Washington, and
demands unerring accuracy from the
tee. 1t was laid out by Harry Coils OF
Chicago.
When are Winter rules not Winter
rules? The answer is, according to Al
bert r. Mackenzie, when a ball driven
into the rough may be teed. Mackenzie
and Miller b. STEVENSON, the District
champion, have divergent views on what
Winter rules permit the player to do
Mackenzie claims that under Winter
rules, as they are being played at most
of the clubs the ball may be teed only
in the fairway. STEVENSON AYERS that 1t
may be teed anywhere on the course,
with the exception Of sand traps and
water hazards. Almost every time they
play together they have a merry little
discussion as to what sort of Winter
rules they will play STEVENSON insisting
that the ball shall be teed In the rough
and Mackenzie insisting equally en-
phatically that it shall be teed only in
the fairway. Inasmuch as most Of the
Columbia golfers are teeing the ball in
the rough nowadays, STEVENSON usually
wins the argument. The concession
probably makes the Columbia course
several strokes easier than the other
courses about the Capital, for the ball
may find q bad lie In the rough and be
teed at Columbia, while at the other
courses ball driven into the rough must
be played where it lies.
None of the seven Washington pro-
feSsionalS who started in the last two
rounds of the North and South open
championship at Pinehurst today have
in the money. Fred Mcleod of Column
bia, veteran winner of the open cham
pionship more than two decades age
and former winner Of the North and
South, led the Washington contingent
yesterday with q pair of TBS for a So
hole score of 1910 shots back Of the
leader, who turned out to be a prac-
tically unknown professional, Henry
Picard of Charleston, S. C. Tommy
Armour Of Detroit, who used to be the
professional at Congressional, was in a
tie for second place, one stroke back
Of Picard, and IN q good spot to annex
the lead today.
Bob Barnett Of Chevy Chase, the mid
atlantic professional title holder, fin
ished second among the Washington
pros over the first day Of play, with a
card Of 7e-79-158 In third place
was A. L. Houghton Of the Harper
Country Club, who had q fine opening
round of 76 and then slumped back TO

'GONzAGA GR|D|RON
SLATE ATTRACTIVE
Purple Will Take on All of
Public High Schools
Except Tech.

- ONZAGA authorities have just
about completed for this year
the best foot ball schedule
ever arranged for an eleven
sporting the Purple. Seven games have
been arranged and two are pending.
Every public high school eleven is to
be met except Tech, though the signed
contract for a game with Central, De-
cember 5, has not yet been received by
Gonzaga offlcials. Swavely of Manassas
to be met here November in the first
of q home-and-home series, and La
Sale of Cumberland to be engaged In
the Maryland city October 10 are new
corners to the Gonzaga schedule. East
ern will be met Thanksgiving morning
in the Eastern Stadium in a feature
game of the schedule.
A game with ct. Johns arch foe,
scheduled November II, Is pending.
Georgetown Prep, another keen rival,
will be encountered October 81 at Gar
ret Park. Dewitt win not be met this
season in the annual game between the
schools because Of disagreement over
eligibility.
Business, to be faced on the new Con-
zaga field at Benning October 10, will
be GonZaga'S first foe Of the campaign.
Though the Streeters will be with
out flock of gridiron nnainstays Of the
past few seasons when they take the
field next Autumn they will have q
bunch of youngsters on hand, most Of
them sophomoreS and juniors, who
showed their worth In reserve roles last
season.
Here is the Gonzaga schedule, as an
nounced by Father O'Hurley, director
Of athletics:
october 1o-Business.
october Liza Sale at Cumberland.
october 24-Catholic University fresh
men.
october s1-deorgetown Prep at
Garrett Park.
November 7-Swavely at Manassas,
Va.
November l4-st. Johns at st.
Johns (pending).
November 21-Western at Western.
November 2T-Eastern at Eastern.
December Central at Central
(pending).
A basket ball captain was to be
elected by Gonzaga letter winners at
meeting today. Letters also were to
be awarded.
A close follower Of public high school
athletics believes that George Brandt,
crack Central all-around sports per-
former, is the best individual athlete
today in the schools. After gaining all
high recognition on the foot ball field last
Fall, Brandt stepped out to show
strongly in basket ball during the sea-
son just closed.
He has already demonstrated his
capabilities in base ball and track, but
whether he will be able to do as well
this year in these sports is uncertain,
in view Of an injured shoulder suffered
in foot ball last Autumn. Brandt so
far has taken part in "a public high
games, despite that he Is now putting
in only his third, but last year in
school. He entered Central in the third
semester, coming from junior high
school.
Bonnie Mccullough, four-letter East
ern stalwart, Is ranked by our cor
respondent not far behind Brandt He
also thinks Freddy Finley Of Business,
who is a foot ball, basket ball and
base ball dependable, q highly valuable
player.

teriologist, Jack Faber, youthful coach
of the Maryland team, when he speaks
of the stick-wielding game thusly:
Lacrosse is an old Indian game now
modernized and used as Spring sport
in many colleges. Twelve players start
as a team and for the time being are
free from the beguiling insurance
agents. They are not risks, but positive
hazards. Foot ball players are equipped
with helmets, braces, pads and doooaoS
to prevent excessive wear and tear on
the skin and it's contents. GladiatorS

prospects both from the standpoint Of
quantity and quality.
Though hindered somewhat by un-
favorable weather the yearlings have
gotten in some good ticks and probably
will be in fairly good shape for their
opening game with Tech, April IL, in

ever, whether Clarke will be able to
decide upon his regular team before
the contest with the Mckinley nine.

include Troy, j. Sorrentino, Maley,
Nimphius, Spinelli, Herlihy, Bentley,
Genua, Goldman, McDermott, Brennan,
Whelsn, Smithwick, Sheary, Prezzano,
Clarke, Lawler, Rubbone, Donnaher
Hemelt, Colalla, Doordan, Cummings,

Walter, Triggs and Carney.
In addition to games with the various
high and prep school teams the G. U.
cubs have booked contests with the

If he is crowned in line Of duty there
is no penalty. If 1t happens at other

of the game for a few minutes to rest

in the modern game, but few spectators
would suspect 1t. The cardinal rule Is:
Don't get caught II an opponent has
to be dispatched, it should be done at
