Many of us would not have felt that
way, when we we're old and had
nothing, and faced nothing but the
poorhouse, and $3.50 a week, and
grave in the potter's field.
Yet you were right. Even so, your
country had been in some ways good
to you. 1t had protected you, and
kept you a free man able to look
other men in the eye without fear.
And though its provision for you

it was to you.
And we have done SO little for

probably also will get this year the
Maryland State Golf Association
mems championship, on a date late
in June.
The tourney is three-day event
| at match play. William Eager OF
Baltimore now holds the amateur
title.
| The 1910 edition of the Chevy
Chase invitation tourney will be
the 30th of the series. It makes
the competition for the Taft and
Sherman Trophies the Oldest con-
tinuous affair in this sector, and
one of the oldest uninterrupted in
vitation golf tournaments anywhere
The trophies first were put in COM
petition in 1911. They were donated
by President Taft and Vice Presi-
dent Sherman.
President Taft was an enthusiastic
golfer, and Vice President Sher-
man had in Tom and Sheriff. Sher-
man two skillful golflng sons. Both
were prominent amateur players sc
years ago.
Since that first year star collec-
ton of crack golfers has moved into
the historic old tap room at Chevy
Chase to receive from the hands OF
golf chairmen replicas of the old
mug, which sits in a niche on the
tap room wall. Below it and also
below the Sherman Trophy, a replica
OF which goes to the runner-up, are
brass plates on which are engraved
the names of the links greats who
have won the tourney.
Notable among them are three
formerly prominent local amateurs.
Harry G. Pitt won the Chevy Chase
affair three times in row, the only
man who has been able to do it.
George j. Voigt was a two time
winner and Roland Mackenzie also
twice won the cup.
Few Changes Are Made.
Chevy Chase is one of those clubs
where changes come slowly and at
long intervals. The golf course, for
example, hardly has been changed
since 1919, when John H. Clapp,
then golf chairman, brought in a
famed links architect to revamp the
layout. Through the years minor
changes have been made, such as
construction of an alternate green
at the fourth hole and new tees,
but on the whole the course remains
as 1t was rebuilt in 1919.
Latest major improvement was
watering of the fairways. In 1894
Chevy Chase became the first
course around Washington to artif-
cially irrigate its fairways. Since
that time Columbia has gone In for
fairway watering.
Rated one of the best layouts in
the East, Chevy Chase would be a
fine test for either of the national
mems championships. But large
playing membership, reluctant to
give up their course for a week or
more, according to Golf Chairman
Stead, has dropped Chevy Chase
from the eligible club list for ma
tional events.

Rated No. | Gamer
On Grids in 80
Harmon Is Second, Eokin
Third, but Recount
Will Be Made
BY GAIL FOWLER,
Associated Press Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports WflseE.
SEATTLE, Dec. 14-It's so close
there probably will be recount
but Kenny Washington, the great
Negro fullback from the University
of California at Los Angeles. ranks
today as the Nations leading grid
iron ground gamer of 1899.
Washington's sterling perform
ance against Southern California
last week sent him from third to
first place, just a scant 9 yards
ahead of Tom Harmon of Michigan,
who in turn is just IA yards ahead
of Kay Eakin of Arkansas.
The blanket finish means a
thorough recount, the American
Football Statistical Bureau. which
compiled the figures, announced.
The recheck will be made before
the bureau announces its final, OFF,
cial figures.
Figures on Three Leaders Given.
Here are the figures for total
offense-gains from both rushes and
passes-of the three leaders:
Washington-In 10 games he car
ried the ball ITO times, passed 80
times for a total OF 260 plays; he
gained 1913 yards rushing and 537
passing, for a total of 1855 yards.
Harmon-In eight games he car
ried the ball 129 times, passed "a
times for a total of 223 plays; he
gained 1858 yards rushing and 488
passing, for total of 1856 yards.
Eakin-In 10 games he carried the
ball 119 times and passed 1913 times
for a total of 312 plays; he gained
372 yards on the ground and 970
in the air for 1912 yards.
The bureau rates the total offens-
i've leaders on the number of yards
gained. 1t complies the average
gain per game but subordinates this
classification in the rankings. This
is the first year since the bureau
started charting the gridders that
the man with the highest yardage
does not also hold the highest aver
age per game
For instance, Whizzer White led
in both classifications in 1887, and
Davey O'Brien topped both in 1888.
However, in 1889, Washington,
Harmon and Eakin rank in that
order In total yards gained, but
Harmon and Washington trade
places in average per game. Har-
mon leading with a 1895 average
and Washington second with 1865.
Eakin still ranks third with 1912.
Other Stars Listed.
Others among the top 10 in total
offense, with the number of yards
gained, are:
John Plunkett, Vanderbilt, 1929;
Grenville Lansdell, Southern Cali
fornia, 1,119; Johnny Knolla,
Creighton, 1,1O4; Paul Christman,
