SPORTS. COLUMBIA PRO SHOULD = SHINE ON HOME COURSE Ha Ll =~d to Beat An_y Place, But Over Links Where He Knows Every Blade of Grass It Will [T Take Great Play to Down Him. BY W. R. McCALLUM. RED McLEOD, professional golfer attached to the Columbia Coun- try Club, over whose course the open championship of the United States will be played in July, must always be considered to have a chance in any open event held in the United States. Particularly is this tfue this year, as the tournament will be played over his home course, where Mcleod as the sa F himself of conditions about which ving goes “knows every blade of grass and | every Iittle contour,” and can avail the great majority of the professional entrants will know little, even | after considerable practice over the There is not the slightest use in attempting to pick a winner nor even in attempting to name the possibie fi¥st three men in an open champion- ship, such as the one to be held at Columbia in July. Any man who, would make such an attempt might find himself in an uncomfortable po- sition when the smoke of battle has cleared away. ‘_ Has a Great Chance. “Even at the risk of going wrong on a.prediction,-there is every possibili- ty that the little Columbia pro, win- ner of the open championship in 1908, will finish in the first three and if he finds himself on his game may even flash over the wire a winner. Certain it is that McLeod. when he is right, is unbeatable over the Colum- bia course and if he gets off to a good start—say with a 70 or 71, followed with another score in that ne hDod—he will lead any pro; in the world a merry cha fcLeod has been romp- ing around the Columbia course in scores from 67 to 76, and the bulk of his scores have been well below the latter figure, 3 ~However, McLeod admits he has de- veloped in the past three months one fault that must be corrected. He says . that in the south during the-tourna- ments the past winter he has plaving better golf than ever before, bUt that he has always had two or more very bad holes—for example. a 6-on a par 3 hole—mostly due to a three years _ milgjudged or overplayed pitch shot.

Certainly the men who have played with him day in and day out # Columbia know when he is careful there is not a bet- ter mashie player in the country. Not Too Small to Win. The old saying that the little man, good as he may be, cannot hold his own with the good big man, is. need- less to say, utterly disproved in golf, where brawn and muscle Is more than apt to be a handicap than otherwise. Therefore, there is nothing on the physical side of the 120-pound pro from Columbia to hold him back from attaining the heights. If ever club members pulled for a professional to win an event, the members of the Columbia Country Club are pulling for McLeod to an- nex this year's open. As for his past performances, Mc- Leod is entitled to very serious con- sideration. notwithstanding the fine field that will gather at Columbia in July, by his notable list of wins over all " courses. north and south. The little Columbia pro won the open champlonship of the United States in 1208, over the Myopia course, after a tie with Willle Smith, scoring a 77 in the play-off, in a gule wrimd Since that tima “* o wow mamer- ous’ eveuns, mwiuding the Shawnee open anu the north and south open.

Standifer and Gardiner P. Orme. ! Several changes have been under | wdy on the Columbia course during | the past week, the -most radical of which are just belag completed at the seventh green.. Other changes have been made in the first and fif- tegnth greens. . _ At the seventh the sand traps in| _ ' fmpnt of the green have been con- | siderably widened and how reach the | n@rth end of the green proper. An | additional sand trap has been in- sfliled at the right of the green, be- tween the edge and the eighth tee, lere sometimes a bad shot went un- punished. “The high corner at the left of the fileenth green has_been lowered and the dip in the surface in the front edge of the green has been leveled. 80 jhat the green now presents a flat sdfface at its front. The near right- | hend corner of the first green has n built up so that it no longer will be an easy tark to pitch from | the rough to the right in close to the pil. All these changes, officials of | the ciub explained. are by way of | s@ffcning up the course. All the ma Jog changes in the —championship | lifiks have been completed. ! Work has commenced on the remod eling of the grillroom and locker room | of the Washington Golf and Country Club, and it is anticipated it will be ready for the annual spring tourna- { 1 ment of the Rixey organization to be! held May 5, 6 and 7. Considerable additional locker space will be mad avatiable by inciusion of the area for- | merly under the tennis porch of the elubhouse.

M big universities which are fortunately located in large cities where foot ball games dMw large gate receipts. Hardly an institution in the east, and only a few in the middle west, are keeping their financial heads above water, and most of the failures to do so may be laid to the exceptional other institutions. universities. Take Harvard as typical of the big universities which have trouble making both ends meet. It generally is believed that the Crimson has ail the money it can spend and has no cares whatsoever of a financial na- ture. In reality, Harvard is support- ing so many teams in different branches of athletics that despite the thousands of dollars made out of foot ball, the athletic association is fin- ishing this year with a deficit. Smaller Colleges Hard Hit. As an instance of the smaller uni- versity, consider Virginia, Maryland, Hopkins or any institution of this size athletically. Virginia has had a hard time making its resources do what it has wanted to accomplish. and Virginia is more sane in its sports development than either Mary- iland or Hopkins. Hopkins affords a | Bood example of an institution with more snorts than its resources justify it carrying. Maryland also is doing more than it should. Small colleges, averaging in stu- dents from 100 to 300, are trying to keep pace with larger institutions in their territories and consequently al- ways are up against the question of how to finance their sports program. Institutions like Maryland nd Virg follow the lead of ia try to never are in a position financially o accomplish what they desire, havir much smaller resources.. Incomes at Maryland and Virginia probably are not more than 15 per .cent of what Harvard gets to run its athlet- ics.

How- ever, nobody will presume to believe that’ intercollegiate competition now or ever will afford opportunities for all students to get the physical and mental development which comes from participation in competitive sports. Therefore, it would seem that the way to solve the problem is so to organize athletics that sufficient competition in enough branches of intercollegiate athletics be carried on to give to the seneral student body and the admin- istrative authorities the strong mo- rale, the sense of strict loyalty, the lessons of team play or organization, discontinue many of the other branches of competition and use the money in such ways that all the sti- dents may derive real benefit there- from. Many of the colleges and universi- ties develop competition in branches of athletics that do no good to the institution generally and do not in- terest sufficient students to warrant even fair expenditures when the s—ne amount of expenditures, used in a different way, would develop the idame sport on a much larger scale #nd in a way which would be much :aore beneficial to larger numbers of } Students. In other words it seems that many colleges and universities would do well to curtail some of thei= =iz tles in' @mtazoetiszti.. athletics and @cvoee the money expended for such activitiés entirely to interclass or interfraternity or some other form of intramural competition. Sports to Be Favored. For the average institution in this gection, to be more specific, it would seem that foot ball, basket ball, base ball and either track and field or lacrosse, should be sufficient sports in which to have teams meeting other universities, leaving such sports as! ‘wrestling, boxing, water polo, swim- ming, and possibiy tennis, to be d«-l veloped solely as recreational and in- 1 COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS |CHEVYCHASEBES] |CHAMPION SAYS GRASS OUTGROW THE FINANCE BY H.

A grass court must be absolutely flawless for championship play. and to achieve this every inch must be hand worked and scrutinized under s microscope. Few Play on Grass. Turf courts are easier to play on than the hard surface. the clay and lasphalt giving the players, rackets and balls greater wear and tear than the grass. But the hard courts are representative of tennis in a national Sense, as few of the players. even among the topnotchers, have the ex- perience of playing on turf in any except the larger tourneys. On the Pacific coast, California, Washington and Oregon have either asphalt. clay or composition courts, and on these the championship tournaments are played. William Johnston and Maurice McLoughlin, both former national singles cham- I pions from California, are products ot i the asphalt courts. It is only acrose the frontier of Canada and on private {estates of the Pacific coast states that the grass court is to be found. After the initial cost of laying an asphalt court there is practically no cost for upkeep other than that of occasionally renewing the markinge of the lines.

Tilden stated that the finest grass court he ever had played on was ths one in Auckland, on which the Davis cup series was played. It seems that a wealthy Aucklander of the name of A. Gardner was the lowner of a remarkably perfect piece {of turf on’ his estate.
