WOOD BREAKS PAR

Five Others on His Heels in
$4,000 Event, Being Two.

NASADENA, Calf, December
r. 20.-Craig Wood, the only
Il one of 213 starters in Pasa-
dena's $4,000 open to master
thoroughly golfdom's new ball and
the Brookside par II course in the
first round, was 2 up on the sur
viving field today as it swung into
the second 10 holes.
This broad-shouldered Bloomfield, N.
j., pro banged the lighter but larger
pellet yesterday for a SO, the only sub
par score of the day. Five of his pro-
fessional contenders camped closely on
his trail, however, with cards of II.
There were few willing to lay the
blame for yesterdays preyailingly poor
scores at the door of the new ball. In
stead the majority said fast greens and
misbehavior of their clubs proved trou-
ble-nakers.
Joe Kirkwood. Philadelphia, trick

probably the greatest portsider in the
game; Tommy Armour, Detroit, Ma

NNAPOLIS, Nd, December 90
~ The foot ball schedule for the
~ season Of 1881, just issued at
the Naval Academy, Is almost
entirely replica Of the list of games
for the season just past. except for the
clash with the Military Academy, I'M
expectedly placed at the end Of the 1890
campaign.
In fact, eight Of the opponents Of
1881, including all of those classes as
major" are the same as in 1880, both
schedules beginning with William and
Mary at Annapolis and finishing with
Pennsylvania on Franklin Field, Phila-
delphia.
The newcomers on the schedule are
Delaware, which takes the place OF
Duke, and Wooster, substituted for
George Washington.
Naval Academy officials state that
the dropping of Duke had no relation
to the defeat 1t administered to the
Navy team, but had been decided upon
before the game was played.
The list of games for 1891 follows:
october 8, William and Mary.
October 10, University of Mary
land, at Washington or Baltimore.
October II, Delaware.
October "a, Princeton at Princeton.
october 81, West Virginia Wes-
leyan.
November 7. Ohio State at Co
1umbuS.
November IA. Notre Dame at Bal
timore.
November 81, Southern Methodist.
November %, Wooster.
December 5, Pennsylvania at Phil
adelphia.
AS during the past season, the regi-
ment of midshipmen will do some trav-
cling in 1881. as it is expected to attend
all the games away from home except
that with Ohio State.
The selection of Magruder H. futile
of Lenoir, N. c., as captain of the team
for the 1881 season is, due to the sterling
work that midShipman did at center
during the latter half of the season
just closed.
futile actually was a first string
varsity player for only half the season.
He reported late and found Black in the
center position and the season was well
at its middle point when futile finally
won a regular berth. After securing
his position Tuttle gave as fine an ex-
hibition of center playing as given by
midshipman for many years. futile
is one of the many midshipmen who
have won honors at the Academy who
entered the institution from the en-
listed ranks. He is also a member OF
the Academy boxing team.

THISTLETHWAITE DUE
TO HOLD BADGER JOB
Fate Of Grid Coach Is Left Up to
Board of Regents by Ath-
letic Council.

MADISON, Wis, December 90 [Pl-
Glenn Thistlethwaite will coach the
University of Wisconsin foot ball team
next Fall unless the board of regents
does something unexpected.
Thistlethwaite has been under fire
since the 1929 season because his teams
failed to produce championships, and it
was reported he was to be replaced
The athletic council at a special
meeting yesterday, however, failed to
recommend Thistlethwaite's dismissal,
indicating it was satisfied if the board
of regents was. Wisconsin's foot ball
coach has no contract, being ranked
as a member of the faculty and ap-
pointed from year to year.
After a four-hour meeting the coun-
Gil issued the following statement: 1.-THE
athletic council voted no recommended
ton looking forward to disseminating
the services of Coach Thistlethwaite. !"
The board of regents has followed
the policy of leaving the selection and
retention of members of the coach
ing staff to the athletic council.

IN GLAND MACKENZIE has no in
- tention of turning professional
and SO the tempest in a teapot
aroused by the mistake of a
California newspaper man is over. The
Columbia youngster fatty denied in a
telegram to his father, Albert R. Mac
Kenzie, received here last night, that he
has any intention to professionalize the
golf game that has brought him fame,
along the lines of the business man
golfer" George Won Elm.
1t all started yesterday when lead

the effect that Roland had entered the
Pasadena open as professional. Al
bert Mackenzie, hearing of the story.
Immediately wired Roland and the lad
wired back as follows:
There is a mistake about my enter
ing as a professional or contemplating
professionalism. I would appreciate
your effort to give publicity to my abso-
lutte denial. I have withdrawn from
the Pasadena open championship"
Naturally when it was reported to the
elder Mackenzie that bis SOM had
turned professional, he was greatly dis
Hence the hasty. telegram and a tele-
phone call to New York asking that the
same paper which printed the original
story make a denial of the professional
ism rumor. Roland had been employed
by a bank in Wilmington until few
days ago when he left the East for Cali
fornia. He entered the Pasadena open
tourney, and the probability is that his
name was entered without the usual
amateur designation.
Acting on this theory, a California
newspaper man may have Jumped to
the conclusion that Roland had turned
professional.
Roland is one of the two finest golfers
ever turned out from Washington. He
has been a member of three Walker
Cup international teams, a Semi-finalist
in the national amateur championship
and a winner Of the qualifying round
in that championship
The denial of the professionalism re-
port was carried by the Associated Press
last night.
Don't let the boys tell you that this
large, new ball, known as the 1853 ball,
Is completely acceptable to all golfers.
AT least two veterans of the game at
Columbia think the big ball will cut
down their enjoyment Of the game con-
siderably, and even though they may
go against the spirit of the legislation
urging that the new ball be played, they
would rather play the old style.

Mackenzie Has No Intention
Of Becoming a Pro Linksman

yesterday before playing round OF golf
which ended in a snowstorm on the
eighteenth holes Eynon defended the
new ball, while Griff, who has been
through the scrap in the major leagues
about the lively base ball, sided with
Baines against the new. larger and
lighter ball.
"That new ball." said Griff, will take
away half the kick We mediocre golfers
get out Of the game"
And Clark Griffith is not a duffer by
any means. He Is good for an average
of SO or so every time he starts. we
get more thrill out of knocking out a
long tee shot than any other shot in the
game" he said, land if we hit the bali
past our previous best mark, think Of
the thrill we get. The new ball may
handle better around the green, but I
don't think I will get as much fun out
of it as I get out of the present bal"
Baines also was outSpcken in his
criticism of the new ball, contending
that he is short hitter at best, and
that the new ball will not respond to
his stroke as does the present ball. Il
do not think there is or will be any i'm
plication of dishonesty If use the 1880
ball next year." he said. Il do not play
in tournaments and get thrill out
of punching that ball as far as I can
The new ball simply won't go as far as
the present ball."
Now there you have the views of two
prominent members of Columbia to
stack up against the opinion of most of
the professionals around Washington
who think that the new ball will be q
distinct aid to the men who play in the
eighties and occasionally drop down
into the seventies. Fred Mcleod, pro at
Columbia, thinks the new ball will bene-
At the higher handicap man. So do Bob
Barnett, Monro Hunter, Dave Thomson
and most of the other pros. In our
opinion it is like prohibition legislation
seems to be. You can make legislation
all you want, but by legislation you can't
make people change their attitude of
mind.
A new slant on the legality of the
much-discussed sand wedge comes from
Fred Mcleod. The club now is under
investigation by the Committee on I'M
plements. and the Ball of the United
States Golf Association, which will prob
ably report at the annual meeting in
New York next month. isn't there
question" Mcleod says, "aS to whether
the club does not strike the ball twice
once when the lower edge of the con-
cave blade hits the ball and again when
the upper edge hits it?" That question
seems a reasonable one, and it might
well 10 that the Cuba strike the ball
twice. Indeed, it would SEEM impossible
for the ball to travel all around the con-
cave face and literally lie ca the face
OF the club for . fraction Of q second
as the stroke Is made.
