National Hockey Loop
Ready for Opening
On November 7
Stutus of Referee Bill
Stewart Only Natter
Yet to Be Settled
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Except for
a minor dispute affecting the Ma
tional Hockey Leagues corps Of
referees, everything now is in read
mess for the opening, November 2,
Of the leagues 1901 season.
The last of the usual glut of pre-
season business matters was dealt
with yesterday at a meeting OF the
league Board of Governors, headed
by President Frank Calder. Only
remaining item left unsettled was
the status of Referee Bill Stewart,
former manager of the Chicago
Black Hawks.
Says Stewart Acted Hastily.
Stewart, in summer an umpire
with the National Baseball League,
has been at odds with the N. H. l..
since last season, and Manager
Art Ross Of Boston Bruins was DEL
egated by the board, at his own
request, to attempt to reach set
tlement.
Ross told his fellow governors he
believed Stewart acted hastily in
rejecting a contract offering him
$500 minimum for the season and
containing the same 24-hour release
clause that players and coaches &C
cept.
However, 1t was agreed that the
next step is up to the referee. He
wrote a blunt letter to Calder re-
jecting the contract, and If he now
wants to sign 1t he must say so. SIM
liar contracts have been signed by
Frank Clancy and Mickey Ion.
Black Hawks Get Belts.
The meeting authorized Calder to
sign the new agreement with the
Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa-
ton under which the professional
body will pay up to $500 for signing
an amateur.
Calder decided that the Chicago
Black Hawks had better claim to
the services of Garnett Belts of
Winnipeg than did the Montreal
Canadiens. The Board of Governors
upheld the president when his ruling
was appealed.

Back to the spot where he first
learned, as a caddie, to wallop q
golf ball goes Sam Snead, the un-
crowned king of professional golf.
Sam Is staging q privately ar
ranged pro-amateur tourney at Hot
Springs, Va. next Sunday and Mon
day, In which only two dozen men
will play. 1t probably signalizes q
new connection for Sam, who has
been the playing pro at two other
resorts. Sans ofilcial connection
with Hot Springs hasn't yet been
announced. but probably will be
within q few days.
Witty Cox Is the only local pro
asked to play in the two-day tour
nament. He will leave Washington
Saturday for the affair to be staged
over the Cascades course, layout
only for crack golfers or men with
strong hearts.
Only five years ago Fay ingalls,,
president Of the Hot Springs COM
pany, decided to put on a tourna-
ment for the touring pros, offering
$500 for the event. He got Bob
Harlow, then manager of the P. G..
A. Tournament Bureau, on the
phone and Bob promised to produce
some of the topnotchers. He did,
but right in his lap he had a lad
destined to become possibly the
brightest star of them all.
Snead Then Unknown.
An unknown kid named Sam
Snead, who ranked then as caddie
master at Hot Springs, led the field
over the first round with a four
under-par score of 68. who is this
kid?" every one asked. well, he

Sam didn't last, in that one. Billy

and become the greatest pro winner
of them all. He has everything

whenever he finds his tee shots
going of the line" they say, "he
goes back to the Cascades course
to straighten them out. If he
doesn't hit them straight there he'll
never get around" Which is true.
The Cascades is that kind of course.
Narrow, woods fringed fairwayS,
sloping greens and terrifying car
ries make it the pros golf course.
Perhaps that is why Sam is so good.
Witty Cox will be back in time
for the Middle Atlantic P. G. A.,
championship at Baltimore next
week and the meeting at which the
Washington pros are determined to
make Witty the president of the
sectional association. OF course, If
they hope to do that. they'll have
to take their gang with them, for

Shortage Of Caddies
Rapidly Becoming
Golf Problem
Defense Program, &C. c
Work Believed Lurinq
Boys From Links
Py the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia shortage
Of caddies for the Nations golf
courses is causing concern in the
ranks of the National Professional
Golf Association.
Tom Walsh, president Of the asso-
citation, said today that the decline
had been so pronounced this year
that the matter was due for major
attention at the P. G. AS annual
convention, which he announced
would be here November lila.
The shortage, said Walsh, set in
last season and became increasingly
evident this year, particularly late
in the season.
More Ask for Caddies.
For instance" he declared, "at
my own course, a public fee course,
our caddy list ran around 100. To-
day 1t is about 30."
At the same time, he added that
"the number of persons now asking
for caddies is three times greater
than it was five years ago."
Declaring that the draft would
further deplete caddy ranks, Walsh
attributed the present decrease to
c. c. C. enrollments, an upturn in
industry as result of the defense
program and the apparently better
financial conditions of the average
family.
Walsh related that in the past
the average age of caddies was IS,
but that in the last eight years
or so it has been close to 20 or 2l."
Draft Not to Hit Game.
A desirable age, he said, was be-
tween IA and 16 He estimated that
until the current decline there had
been more than 100000 youths cad
dying.
He said he did not believe the
draft would greatly affect the turn
out of golfers and certainly there
will be no drop of of almost so
per cent, as in the case of caddies 3"
Walsh indicated that one move
of the P. G. A. toward restocking
the caddy ranks would be through
expansion of the associations caddie
educational program.

OF course, there have been in
stances where a caddie and his
clubs, in toto, have been lost In
the deep woods or the heavy
rough which fringes some golf
courses. But usually it has been
a gag. The caddie was kicking up
the rough for lost balls, hoping
to sell 'em at a dime apiece.
But the fable of the lost golf
clubs actually happened at Chevy
Chase, where a bag toter, usu-
ally a ballhawk, not only lost the
ball but also lost the clubs when
he laid them down to search for

Department, an admiral and
general waited for them or looked
around in the rough for the lost
ball.
Warfield finally gave up the
hunt. Then he couldn't find the
caddie. He whistled and called.
Out from the woods came a
plaintive voice dripping with
Southern twang: "Mistuh War

The
SPoRTLIGH7
Fourth Wave Is Here
In Football War
Bv GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, Oct. 18 CN.AN.A0.
There is line remembered from
IN old war-an almost forgotten
War-far back in the spring of 1918.
This line, from The 7th Royal
Marines" of England, reads:
I'VE all went back at the seventh
Wave-but we wait for the tide to
burn"
The Germans were rolling forward
f1en. But the tide finally turned
ut Belleau Wood, Cantigny, Sois-
Sons, Meuse, Fismes and Aisne, plus
Avocourt and the Argonne.
The American Legion remembers
these names. So does Germany.
Not overlooking a corporal named
Adolf Hitler.
In football we now have come to
the fourth wave-September %
October 5-October l2-and now
October 10.
But there still are many waves
2eft through the next few weeks
when the beaten will come to their
feet again and turn many startling
tides. They must be given their
chance. Only remember that at
the end of the season there will be
few united or unbeaten left among
those playing big time schedules.
I should say the two big games
tomorrow bring together Minnesota
and Ohio State, Tennessee and Ala
bama, where both Minnesota and
Tennessee, still unbeaten, have
. tob to handle.
Tough games - Fordham and
Pittsburgh, Mississippi and Du-
Quesne, S. M. U and Auburn, Co
Mmbia and Georgia, Georgia Tech
and Vanderbilt-to mention only a
few. For more than one stately
winner will go to the guillotine be-
fore night falls-which happens to
be an old football custom.

Vikings Within Five
Yards Of Victory in
Duel Of Surprises
FumbIes PIoy Big Part;
High School Athletic
Fund Nets $1,000

After SO years of gridiron battling,
Tech and Central are back where
they started in 1902-all even. They
perpetuated the traditional closeness
of their annual game last night at
Griffith Stadium with scoreless tie
the third such game they have
played.
That left the series still deadlocked
at 16 wins each with ties. Around
6,100 strongly partisan rooters turned
out, leaving a much-needed profit
of close to 81 900 in the high schools
athletic fund.
As scoreless ties go. the game was
filled with stirring moments. Several
surprises were injected. Tech was
supposed to have the power drive
and Central the passing edge. 1t
turned out differently as the Vikings
outgained the Gray along the
ground, but were woefully short via
the airways, completing only two of
10 heaveS, while the Techs clicked
with seven Of IA.
Central Makes Big Threat.
Central made only two of its first
downs by passing, while Tech made
three to further smear the dope.
Fumbles also were a major factor
in the contest as Central's most
serious threat began with a Tech
bobble and another Viking thrust
ended on the same note.
The closest either team came to
hanging up a score was Centrals
advance to the 5-yard mark in the
third quarter. On fourth down
Techs Jack Walsh received a bad
pass from center and was forced to
down the apple on his own %.

in the early part of the final quar-
ter when a 35-yard pass, Stanley

same combination was completed
but Sam fumbled and Tech took

The main Gray bid was in the
second quarter. Starting from its

with line bucks by Vernon Hollidge
and long pass, Walsh to Joe Bryan,
gaining most of the ground. But at
that point two passes were batted
down and the bid ended.
