WANTS A WINNER
BEFORE HE QUITS
Sees Chance to End Regime
in Blaze of GIory-Has
Great Material.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

N 1EW YORK, July 9.-Efforts
N of the Yale foot ball
/ authorities were recently
made, it was learned today,
to buy out the contract of Nal
Stevens, head coach, which has
yet a year to run. The idea, 1t
appears. was to get the projected
new gridiron regime under way
without the loss OF a year.
But DR.. Stevens, 1t is said, decided to
remain at the helm not only because
he has an aversion to receiving money
for nothing, but because he has a SPORT
tration in a blaze of glory.
So far as material is concerned he
will have a better opportunity to de-
velop a winning outfit than at any time
since he has been in New Haven, the
line both as to regulars and substitutes
promising to show unusual strength.
what with an end who promises to
make gridiron history discovered quite
accidentally in Spring practice and a
lot of backfleld men, including, OF
course, Albie Booth and Crowley, DR..
Stevens would be no true enthusiast
were he to pass up an excellent chance
to win such honor as will surely befall
the man who starts Yale back on the
upgrade in foot ball.
Stevens, who played in the Yale
backfleld as transfer student from
Kansas, was appointed head coach upon
the retirement of Tad Jones after the
season of 1927, in which Tad had the
satisfaction of downing the Army.
Princeton and Harvard and Brown and
Dartmouth, losing only to Georgia, IA
to 10, in the second game of the season.
In his first year of coaching Dr..
Stevens saw his team defeated by the
Army, Maryland, Princeton and Har-
ward In 1929 Yale lost to Georgia and
TO Harvard, but defeated Dartmouth,
Princeton and the Army and Brown
among others. Last Fall the team lost
to Georgia and to Harvard, was tied by
the Army and by Dartmouth and de-
3eated Princeton.
All told the showing has not been too
good and in the case Of Harvard 1t has
been downright bad-three Sequential
defeats The pressure upon a Yale
coach who loses sequentially to Harvard
is terrific. Yale would not like 1t If
Princeton were to win thus consistently,
but somehow when Harvard wins she
has a way of smiling that raspS the
Eli old grad to the marrow.
So with DR.. Stevens retiring into
medicine, plans are afoot for pretty
thorough renovation Of the Eli foot ball
system and the reported offer to buy
out the present coach's contract indi-
Gates that they are in hurry to begin.

10 far as records show, there has
never been a golf match in the
\ history Of the game which demon
strated so well the uncertainties
of golf, the very soul Of golf. as the
battle between Billy Burke and George
Won Elm
In the first place, it must go down as
record of gameness and skill and
stamina on the part of the men-both
winner and loser. There can be very
little difference, just split hair, when
one man scores 589 and the other turns
in 500, when you consider all the puts
on both sides which circled and Tipped
and hit the cup but just failed to
drop, each of these puts being worth
anywhere from $25, 900 to $4,000.
There were any number of slight
turns which, If they had happened to
veer one way, would have given either
man at least a 12-stroke lead in either
round Both were gambling for birdie
on almost every hole, and II the luck
had been banked enc way 1t might have
been rout.
It was an amazing thing. considering
all the SLdTIllIlS 1llCllSIlIo b1AoS AA1P
pened the sudden and quick changes,
that the two should have still been tied
after playing 1879 holes, or more than
$50 strokes You can figure what the
odds against this would have been, even
In a normal match.
Unusual Turns.
THIS Burke-Von Elm battle through
i la holes will go down as the golf
classic up to date, starting as FAR
back in golf history as you may care to
wander. 1t showed what can happen
in golf, even to the best.
For example, Won Elm picked up IA
strokes on Burke upon the first and
last holes of the Inverness course.
That ordinarily would have been more
than enough to crush his opponent.
But he lost Is strokes to Burke on the
in-between holes.
In the forenoon of the last play-off
Won Elm sank 50foct putt for 2
on the eighth green. In the afternoon
round he missed an 8-inch putt.
That's golf, for the high and low
alike. Won Elm missed three puts in
the afternoon less than feet in length
and these cost him the title. But Burke
also missed two short ones, so there
you are again.
There was another dizzy episode on
the final day. In the forenoon Burke
was leading by four strokes and seemed
to be pulling away. Won Elm looked
to be doomed. Whereupon he sudden
ly turned and picked up six strokes on
the next three holes with 3-3-2
against Burke's 5-5-4. Within a few
minutes Burke looked to be the doomed
entry.
They were like two game but groggy
fighters, refusing to stay down, refusing
to quit, the groggier one suddenly turn
ing to land a Furnishing blow to kill
off his opponents leading margin.
There was as much sheer grit, game
ness and determination in this match
as anything sport has known, for the
main punishment here was thrown
against the nerves and the brain.

Through Yale Despite Ellis Desire Change
THE SPORTLICHT
BY GRANTLAND RICE

THE big feature Of the match was
i Burke's afternoon round. He had
played something like 80 rounds of
golf in little more than two weeks.
He had been playing at top speed, right
on edge, and few believed that he could
hold this peak through the second play
off He started away raggedly In the
forenoon, to lose three strokes on the
first two holes.
He had finished one stroke back,
trifle ragged down the stretch, and
looking to be well worn out. There
seemed to be signs of bad crash in
the afternoon. The odds at this point
we're all with Won Elm, starting with
one-stroke lead and somewhat stronger
and fresher.
But in some manner Burke came to
the first tee for the last 10. He looked
as fresh and as keen as he could have
1883 and he might just as well have
started 1928, since he was putting
for brides on every hole, not so far
away, the ball dropping twice and Just
circling the lip on the other two occa-
sionS.
It must have been something of q
shock to Won Elm to flnd what had
been weary and almost tottering OPP
ponent down the forenoon stretch, sud-
denly back at the peak again. It was
lust as If kitten had turned into q
tiger. Yet Won Elm held on gamely
against this unexpected turn as Burke
reeled off "a for the first nine He
had two puts for a 10 and he could
have gotten down in 4 If he had needed
to do SO, which, under all conditions
and circumstances, must take its place
as one of the most remarkable golf
rounds ever played.
HERE are just two examples of how
quickly and bewilderingly the
scene changed. At the second
hole of the first round Burke was in
the open and Won Elm was trapped.
Burke seemed to be on his way to pick
UP stroke. A moment later Burke
hooked his second to trap, Won Elm
reached the green to get his 3, while
Burke was taking 5. A 3-stroke
switch in the twinkling of an eye!
Later on the situation just reversed
itself. Burke hooked to a bad spot
in the trap on his second. Won Elm
struck an iron that few straight for
the pin.
He'll have a putt for and maybe
pick up two strokes" Mac Smith re-
marked as the ball was in the air.
But the ball few over the green.
Burke made great recovery. and with
against a it was Burke that
picked up the two strokes.
These two examples show you how
events developed through the two days
play-off. They kept the crowds dazed
and dizzy as almost certain advan-
tageS we're turned the other way over
Just the slightest mistakes.
I think one of the great strokes
Burke played came on the seventh hole
Of the final round. He was leading
two strokes, with two holes left to play.
Burke was just on the green. As feet
from the cup. Won Elm had an 8foot
putt for a g. He might easily pick
up two strokes again and square the
match II Burke faltered.
But the Round Hill entry laid his
long approach putt stone dead. less

situation stood, locked the door at

All In all, it was a championship

naming a new open champion, it also

to make up golf.
