EVANSTON, Ill, Oct. 20.-They
might begin relaying a few of the
tears being shed on Chicago's mid
way to neighboring Northwestern's
campus.
Figures disclose that for all Har-
wards Clio rout of Chicago last
week, the Maroons at least own a
victory at this point of the football
season and twice have crossed an
opponents goal line
Not so Northwestern. For all
| their preseason acclaim as a Big
Ten title contender-this despite
Coach Lynn Waldorf's admonishing
tinger-the Wildcats are without
victory in two games and have yet
| to score
Fear Badger Battle.
Nor does mention of Wisconsin,
their foe of the week, bring a blush
of modest confidence that victory
may be just around the corner. The
Wildcats well remember last years
2O-l3 loss to the Badgers. It came
after their Minnesota triumph and
just when they had reason to spec
ulate on a conference champion
ship.
The reminiscing does not lack au-
thority for want of a quorum, for it
was the return of so many athletes
from 1888, along with promising
sophomoreS that prompted experts
tab the Cats a title favorite this
season.
Wisconsin, too, has been some
thing of disappointment this sea-
son. In fact, Badger experts in one
particular game led Coach Harry
Stuhldreher to remark, Il wouldn t
have believed it if I hadn't seen it"

All of which has led Northwest
erns Waldorf to summarize:
wisconsin and Northwestern have
encountered problems of a similar
disappointing nature Each team was
overrated by preseason calculations
Neither has team that will reach
high plane set by the dopesters,
but each has failed to rise to what
I consider its normal plane, which
is that of a good-not great-team.' u

Pros Are Apathetic
Toward TussIe for
Crown Cox Holds
Help Offered by D. 6. A.
Ignored; Lefoe is New
Kenwood Champion
BY WALTER McCALLUM.


That forlorn little waif of pro-
fessional competitive golf around
Washington-the District of Co.
lumbia open championship-seems
destined for premature grave. Or
maybe the last rites are premature,
and the 4-year-old infant sud-
denly may revive itself and the pros
may breathe life enough into the
child to hold the tournament again.
But in every quarter you find an
apathetic attitude toward that syn
thetic little stepchild of local golf
dom, and if the District open isn't
held this year the pros won't weep
openly. That's the impression you
get talking with the boys who have
made the District open in past years,
when it was quite a tournament,
with the boys trying for two years
to catch George Diffenbaugh, and
for the last two years striving to
snatch the title from Witty Cox,
which they were not successful in
doing.
Lukewarm to Offer.
Despite an offer-and a bona fide
one-from the District Golf Asso-
citation, to obtain a good course for
the tourney, and to run it, the pros
have been lukeWarm about the whole
thing, and you get the idea that if
the infant is inferred with rites be-
fitting its immature stature, it will
be all right with the boys who nor
mally would play in it. The officers
Of the District association won't
raise the money for such an affair.
They won't, in fact, have anything
to do with filthy lucre That's a job
for the pros themselves to handle
the raising of the prize dough. But
they will run the show and get a
course, and that in itself is quite a
job. In past years the pros nave
staged the entire show without
amateur support other than a few
Simon-pure entries, boys who con-
tributed their five bucks simply to
help swell the purse.
One well-known pro made no
bones about the District associa-
ton offer. That's like having a
hoss race without dime bet on it,"
he said. 1T doesn't prove any
thing"
Tourney Probably Dead.
I asked George Diffenbaugh about
the tournament. Haven't heard
anything about it, said George.
Guess it's dead AL Houghton said
much the same thing. Don't know
thing about it," said AL. But
did you hear about Pinehurst?"
Had there been anything more to
the District open. AL would have
been full of the subject. He did a
good job Of promoting the Middle
Atlantic P. G. A. tournament and
wasn't loath to talk about it.
Maybe that same Mid-Atlantic
P. G. A., an affair which went over
in good shape, is the reason for the
lack Of pro interest in the District
open. But I guess Witty Cox will
be satisfied. If they don't hold it,"
says tall Wilfred, "thatll mean I'll
remain the champ. I can tell the
boys am a champion, anyhow.
They can't take it away from me
until they have another champion" :"
But then Wilfred always has been
one to get laugh out of any situ-
alton He even laughs at himself
sometimes. That's hard to do in
golf.
G. E. Lefoe is the new senior
champion of the Kenwood Golf and
Country Club. Lefoe and N. D.
Larner tied for the title and Lefoe
won the playoff with a card Of
89-16-73 against 87-13-74 for
