~ UT for revenge in the biggest
professional links classic OF
the year, the American Ryder
~ Cup players will wind up
their practice at Ridgewood, N. j.,
tomorrow and will face a crack Brit
ish team in the opening joust of the
series Saturday morning. Victory for
the Americans is predicted, even though
the British won the big mug last year.
The matches will run through two
days, with two-ball foursomes sched-
uled for Saturday, to be followed by
singles on Sunday.
Quite number of Washington golf
ers will travel to Upper Jersey to see
the contests, at which Fred Mcleod,
Columbia pro, will be a referee. The
Ryder Cup matches correspond in pro-
fessional golf to the Walker Cup in
international amateur links competi-
tion. and the British have sent over a
strong team to battle the Americans
on their home grounds.
. Capt. Walter Hagen of the Ameri-
can troupers openly predicts a victory
for his lads. L feel that our players
have had much more competitive ex-
perience than the British and that
this fact will decide the match in our
favor" Walter says.
No golf professionals have as much
opportunity to play in competition as
our own boys and because of this the
standard of professional golf in Amer
ica has reached peak which do not
think any other nation has attained
Great Britain is coming back fast in

whom were too young to fight in the
war and have come to the front in

a small purse has been raised and

among the local pros. 1t will be held
at Indian Spring late in october for
a purse which probably will aggregate
around $3.50, which is far from the

originally scheduled when first sug-
gested.
Tom Belshe, golf chairman at In

trict open, which will be the only pro
tourney held here this Fall. The Ma

Indian Spring tourney the only one
to be played.

TN 1919 we played Massillon three
times The first two games ended
in ties, and when we started the third
battle there was not even standing
room in the park. One Canton fellow
bet his butcher shop on the game, and
some other guy wagered his coal yard
and team of horses. Feeling was so
high that if player wanted to buy
a shirt. some citizen accompanied him
to the store just to see he did not
meet the wrong people.
"Massillon wanted to win that game
the worst way The manager of the
team brought in most of Pop War
ner's championship 1916 Pittsburgh
team, and Knute Rockne was there
with a full team of Notre Dame men.
To further strengthen the club, Charlie
Brickley of Harvard brought IL East
ern plays out for the battle. The
players alone cost Massillon 100000.
Canton won by a wide margin and
Massillon went broke.
Early in the game Gus Dorais, the
great Notre Dame quarterback, took
pass in the fiat zone and on Jim
Thorpe's side Jim crashed into Gus
and sent him to the hospital for sew
eral weeks. JON never worried about
forward passes in front of him. He'd
let the receiver get the ball and then
hit him so hard the man would lose
all interest in the game. Thorpe was
at his best in those days and there
never was back his equal
"The first time we had the ball I
noticed the man playing opposite me
did not take any charging position.
He stood almost straight up, his right
fist swinging menacingly at my face.
On the first play he caught me with
a swell right hook between the eyes
The next time he smacked me on the
temple. The pext time I ducked.
Then we took the ball. Looking my
opponent in the eye, I chortled, Now,
buddy, it's our turn On the next
play I gave him a nice Indian block
right in the face and he left the game.
Later I found the guy was a former
'sparring partner of Luther McCarty
and had been imported for my special
benefit.

COUGARS FIGURE
IN TITLE BATTLE
First Team Is Strong, but
Coach PheIan BemoanS
Lack of Reserves.
By the Associate Press

ny thc hsSoStAtCa EISos.
EATTLE, September 26.-Uni-
versity of Washington may be a
factor in Pacific Coast foot ball
- this season, but Coach Jimmy
Phelan isn't doing any pre-campaign
shouting about 1t.
I'VE will be lucky to win ball game
or two with the material We have this
year." Phelan growled. You can't
win in this league without reserves
and have you seen any?"
What Phelan said may have been q
little far-fetched, but he did lose a
great backfield in Burl Bufkin. Matt
Muczynski Art Ahonen and Paul Sui
kosky. and two fine linesmen In Chuck
Mucha and Woody Ullin.
First Team O.. X.
lie STILL has smart, booming
first-string team, however. and II
injuries don't get the best of the reg
ulars, the experts look for Washington
to give the bigger squads an interest
ing battle.
One thing, the backfield Is very
versatile with right and left footed
kickers and passers, and every play
will be screened with deception. In
Elmer Logg, quarterback, Phelan has
one Of the outstanding punters and
place-kickers on the Coast. In Jimmy
Cain he has a great running back and
passer. Byron Haines kicks ana
passes from the left sioe and can run
in either direction. Ed NowogroSki is
q steam-roller fullback.
With this tricky combination Phelan
will attempt to keep Washingtons op-
ponents on the defense and hope for
a break.
