NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-As a re-
suit of the tendency now prevalent
among headline football inStitu"
tions to card big attractions right
from the start of the season there
will be fewer than large handful
of games Saturday in which out
standing teams with clean states
will meet.
In the cases of Pittsburgh and
Minnesota, Eastern and Midwest
ern leaders, respectively, they were
good enough to bag important
money without waiting for a build
up and at the same time to keep
on winning, and their games Sat.
urday will be among the days more
important Spectacles.
Pitt has polished off Ohio State
in maintaining clean record and
now goes against DuqueSne, unde-
feated by second rate opposition.
Minnesota opened the season
by meeting Washington, and, hav-
ing succeeded against a potential
champion, has worked its way
round to a session with the
punching bag, Michigan. The
latter has dropped two straight.
Navy and Yale will appear in
a major attraction, with one or
the other doomed to falter for
the first time this season, and
another pairing in the same
category is Army and Harvard.
Down in Carolina, Duke or
Georgia Tech, or both in case of
tie. will take it on the chin.
a distinctly new sensation for
both during this campaign, and
out on the Coast Southern Cali

which finds them still boasting

Southport Golf
Tournament
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON


John C. Shorey defeated
Charlie Cole in the first flight
final of the sixth annual South
port" invitation golf tournament,
held on the estate of Prof.
Robert w. Bolwell at White Oak,
Md. Approximately so invited
guests competed.
The first flignU is open to men
and women golfers, Miss Virginia
Pope being the only feminine
entrant qualifying for the cham
pionship flight this year.
incidentally, the tourney has
been won three times by Cole and
once by DR.. Larry S. Otell. who
died this summer. Rev. DR.. Charles
S. Cole was another "Southport'
member who passed beyond this
summer.
A week before his death, DR.
Cole donated a cup for the eight
highest scorers in the qualifying
round. Thus, these golfers will
have chance Of gaining match
play experience otherwise denied
them. A. C. Chambers won the
trophy this year.
The mems cup was won this year
by DR.. J. Leo Madden and the
women'S cup by Irene Nearman
These divisions are separate from
the championship group.
The Southport" course, laid
out by Prof. BolWell, consists of
nine par 3-holes. The late DR.,
Otell holds the nine-hole course
record, 26, and Frank RoeSch the
18-hole record, Sc. Last year, Wash
ington professionals and leading
amateurs completed in a special
tourney at Washington-and DR.
Otell finished on top with SO.
Each year, tribute is paid de-
parted members of the South
port" group, such as Drs. Otell
and Cole this year.
