DEV|SES NEW CLUB
T00FFSET TORQUE
Washington Pro Is Getting
Tremendous Distances
With Crude Stick.

THE center-shafted driver Is on
the way. II Davie Thomson.
pro at the Washington Golf
and Country Club, has his
way.
Fooling around with golf clubs ami
ideas the other day Davie, the little
Montrose Scot, hit upon a scheme for
neutralizing torque in wooden clubs
by sticking the shaft right through
the head at an angle that carries it
directly back Of the hitting area. And
now, according to Davie, a golf club
without torque has been born, the
ideal for which all manufacturers
have been striving for years. In case
you don't know about it all the new
angles, or old angles revamped, which
have come into golf club construc-
tion over the last half-dozen years,
have been inaugurated with the ide1
OF eliminating insofar as possible the
torque, or the physical force which
tends to twist the club-head If tho
pail Is not struck on the sweet spot"
And the sweet spot" on a golf club
is strictly limited area which your
ordinary duffer hits only once in a
blue moon. Flanges, weighted toes.
weighted heels, all have come alonq
with the one idea-that of neutraliz-
ing the ruinous torque. Even the
steel shaft is in a way an outgrowth
OF the idea of forcing torque back in
its proper place.
But even at that club designers
have known for years that the proper
place for a golf club shaft is in the
center of the club-head, which will
go further toward neutralizing torque
than anything else.
Hitting Them Far.
GO DAVE, with the crudely-mado
~ wooden club with which he now
is experimenting, seems to have
hit upon the idea which may at last
remove the destructive torque. He
took an old wooden clubhead, bored
for a steel shaft. plugged up the shaft
hole in the neck of the head and
drilled new hole centered at a As
degree angle to come through the
head directly behind the face in such
position that the shaft lies directly
behind the hitting area. With this
club Davie has hit some astonishing
long balls, drives which even he. with
the characteristic reticence of the
Scot, says have surprised him by their
distance and the feel of the ball.
i don't know whether it's going to
be any good or not" says Davie, "but
Jimmy Norvell and I have hit some
balls with this driver that have gone
long way. We parked a couple of
EN- very near the green on the first
hole here at Washington, and that. as
you know, is about 800 yards from the
tee. The thing feels good, too, and the
ball has a sweet feel when you hit it
from this club. Of course. it's crude
and cumbersome, but it may be a
! good idea at that.
How will the U. S. G. A. react to-
ward a center-shafted driver?" We
asked DaWe.
Il don't know" he said. "The
center-shafted putter is barred in
Britain and Canada, but it is legal
in this country. so don't know how
they would feel toward a CENTER
shafted driver. Anyhow we are hav-
ing some fun with it an6 it might
work. 1t sure feels good when you hut

- Stanford has the greatest foot

That is my reaction today on
Alabama's victory in the Rose Bowl

stands and would prefer not to have
to play those Indians again real soon,
because our unbeaten record certainly
would be in jeopardy.

we were lucky to stop him as often as
we did.
We certainly can't be cocky about
pulling that game out Of the fire by
the score Of 20 to IS. The most we
can say is, we're thankful we could
win.
I was, to put it mildly, highly
pleased with the way my boys came
from behind in the second period.
This was the first game this season
that they found themselves on the
short end of the score, and I didn't
know whether they were going to
stand up or not.

1t was as great passing combina-
ton as foot ball ever had known
and you can go all the way back to
Dorais and Rockne-to Gipp and Riley
to Friedman and Osterbaan. They
had nothing on this dazzling combi-
nation from the deep South. The
timing, the accuracy and the me-
chanical perfection were the finest I
ever have seen in foot ball against
strong oppoSition-still strong enough
to pick up IA first downs and 290
yards.
There were no weaklings in Ala
bama's road. This, was big, fast,
powerful Stanford team-but it had
nothing to meet the mechanical per-
fection of Howell to Hutson, no back
to class with Howell in the three main
departments of foot ball play. It was
Howell and Hutson, above all the rest,
who take Alabama home still un-
beaten in her Western trips. The

Lee, but this was the pair that wrote

BY WALTER MERRILL HALL,

President United States Lawn Tennis
Association.
"A YEW YORK, January 2.-As !
N see it, we have no reason 10
Y be other than completely
optimistic over the tennis out
look for 1895. The figures show that
there is more tennis being played
than ever before. Public park, club
and private tennis courts have steadily
increased in numbers and use.
During recent years sales OF tennis
goods and equipment have expanded
rather than declined, as in many
other sports, testifying to the wide
public appeal of tennis with Its
maximum of healthy, stimulating ex-
ercise, comparatively moderate eX-
pense and shorter time required OF
busy people.
Relations of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association with the governing
bodies of other countries have I'M
rroved and strengthened through our
policy of closer cooperation with them
on important questions affecting the
game.
Stiffen Amateur Rules.
CONSIDERABLE progress has been
made in 1884 and will be con-
solidated and advanced this year
in stiffening amateur standards ana
eliminating abuses of the amateur
spirit which have crept into the game
in the last decade. Through the eight
weeks expense rule adopted by the
international federation and in process
of being written into our own rules,
we will remove the possibility OF
amateur players living off the game a
substantial part of the year.
We have no quarrel with those
players who are able and decide to
make tennis their living and profes-
sion. but we do insist that they fly the
professional flag and not the amateur
standard. The commercializatlon OF
all sports resulting from increased
public interest and willingness to pay
to see them play may be regretted by
those who think of what they call the
good old days but it must be recog-
nized that times have changed.
The primary concern and interest,
however, of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association is the further de-
velopment and administration OF the
amateur game in this country, and it
is to these ends that we are constantly
devoting our efforts.
Gun Outlook Not Dark.
n EGARDING the Davis cup out
II look, am far from peSSimlStlc.
Several leading countries have
teams and material which are closely
matched, thus insuring splendid,
healthy competition IN 1895. England
is in a strong position as the holding
nation, but is by no means unbeatable.
Current results in Australia confirm
this opinion. Even in the 1884 chal-
lenge round in London the entire re-
suit hung in the balance at critical
stages of two very close matches which
we ultimately lost, but might well have
won.
Recent professional inroads have
lost the United States no singles play
ers of current Davis Cup caliber. One
of our leading players in singles came
back in 1884 after bad previous sea-
son to produce some of the finest ten
mis- of his career, We have other
splendid new material coming along.
Our doubles situation should give no
real concern despite the loss of our
national champions, as We have other
teams practically as good, and cer-
tainly on the record well able to more

Sullivan had won the toss OF coin
for naming the site of the battle and
had selected Pools Island, in Chesa-

went directly to the island and waited.
Nobody else showed up, for the au-
thorities in Baltimore. hearing Of the
plans, had conf1scated the boats which
the adherents of both fighters had
chartered to take them to the scene.
Then the Eastern Shore site, where
local authorities were friendly, was Sc

was drifted over the fields and strong
wind blew over Chesapeake Bay. Pine
trees were cut down on the spot to
make stakes for the ring, and ropes
were provided by cutting the halyards
