Could Make Dough and Keep It.

TN SPITE of the legal trouble. John
ny was one of the luckiest fighters
in the business. He fought in boom
times and he fought often When you
consider that he got $4,000 for fight
ing Roberto Roberti, one of the meekest
and least known Of those imported
killers, you realize that the public
could and did pay to see fights in
Johnny's prime.
At this rate. Mr.. RSko must have
collected himself good pile Of scratch.
There was almost no one he didn't
fight. He would lose to young fighters
when they were coming up and trim
them when they were just about ready
for a crack at the title. This formula
was most annoying to the promoters
Of heavyweight tournaments, but
Johnny liked it.
Figuring on the basis of
$4,000 for the Roberti scrap,
Johnny laid away plenty. They
say he still has it.
Johnny married happily and he
communes with nature and Lake Erie
every day.
This is the case Of fighter who was
never rated as a mental giant in his
profession. I deduce that thrift, with
or without the Shaw-and- Shakespeare
angle. is better bet in a prizefghter
than brains.

//T rs going to become one Of the
finest two-shot holes you ever
have seen"
Sandy Armour, then tn

nave seen"
Sandy Armour, then the
Congressional pro, was speaking Of
the new tenth hole at Congressional,
back in the days when Sandy and
Henry j. Richardson and Donald Ross
were in the throes Of making two
little ones out of one big one, taking
apart the much abhorred 610-yard
tenth and splitting it up into two
shorter holes. And sandy was right,
for If there is one outstanding two
shot hole on that Congressional course
it is the new tenth, a typical Donald
Ross hole and one that not only looks,
but plays like those holes you gen.
orally associate with those on cham
pionship golf course, which Congress
sional is, by the way. Roland Mac
Kenzie believes it is one of the great
est tests of shot-making he has seen
and Roland has peeked at few golf
holes from Vancouver to st. Andrews
"It is strictly shot-maker's hole,
Roland says. IF you half miss one
of your two shots you simply cannot
get home And how a good tee shot
placed we'll to the right opens it up.
You must hit that ball 225 yards, too,
if you even hope to get home, for it
measures 440 yards and every yard
of it is feet long. But after you
hit your tee shot in the right spot
you haven't any soft cinch to hit
that green-big as it is. They built
up the hillside at the left and slipped
in a flock of bunkers and put in ar
other bunker at the right just to make
1t more tricky. And even If you get
by the ditch In front It's no easy Job

Cutters Goal Has Effect.

THE alternative Of keeping the
/ posts on the end zone line and
strutting the bar forward over
the goal line probably would be
adopted were it not for the feeling
that such an engineering operation,
while a negligible expense to colleges
whose foot ball income is respectable,
would be burden to secondary
schools and colleges where gate re-
ceipts hardly are sufficient to cover
the cost of conducting the game
Personally. We regard this objection as
trivial, raised merely to justify the
retention Of coal posts in the end zone
None the less, it has been raised in
high quarters and is set forth with
the fanatically shining eyes and seri-
Gus countenances of earnest pro-
tagonists of some dear cause.
Slade Cutters blazing placement
kick in the Army-Navy game did a
lot Of missionary work, however, in
behalf of the pedal element Of foot
ball. 1t enabled the Midshipmen to
capitalize on the margin of superiority
they displayed in this contest and it
gave us the one highlight of the game.
This is the sort of stuff they want in
foot ball and this is the reason for the
likelihood that the goal posts dis
tances will be amplif1ed.

Don't Fear Pros.

"HIS desire obtains with no refer
ence whatever to professional
foot ball. The Rules Committee
has no fear Of the commercial game
as a present or future menace to inter-
collegiate foot ball. And by the same
token this may be said: The more
radical the legislation favoring offense
in pro foot ball, the better pleased are
those who conduct the deStlnies OF
this sport among the colleges. This
chiefly because it is felt that as the
rules of the mercenaries draw away
from the stipulations under which the
collegiate game is played there will
result in ever-tncreasing degree two
different games-and so two different
supporting publicS.
Rule changes promulgated this week
by the professional authorities is a
case in point. Already, however, two
sharp contrasts are marked between
the two games-to wit: The extreme
laxity of the officials in professional
foot ball in enforcing rules concerned
with the advancing of the ball, and
the neglect by the pros Of the finer
arts Of defensive foot ball-a side Of
the game which, in the minds of COL
legians, is just as important as the
positive side.
So the Rules Committee has no in
tention of being frightened into so
legislating as to make scoring bees out
Of foot ball games. But it does feel. if
the writer has accurately caught the
sentiment Of its members, that posi-
bilities of scoring inherent in the game
logically, properly and legitimately
may be accentuated. The goal posts.
in all probability, will never be brought
back to the goal line.
