\ ; SPORTS. ROUT OF BUCKNELL TEAM REVEALS ELIS’ STRENGTH Sturdy Line and Versatile Backfield Have Upset All Opposition—Game With Army Saturday Should Prove Bulldogs’ Worth. BY H. C. BYRD. ALE right now not only is the strongest of the Big Three elevens, but might well be mentioned as the strongest in the east. Hardly a comparison could be drawn which would fail to place it above Princeton and Harvard, and no comparison is known which. would place any other eleven above it. In fact, about the most direct comparisons that can be drawn would seem to give Yale the margin over all other elevens east of the Alleghanies. Pittsburgh at the height of its strength barely beat Bucknell by one touchdown, and. Pittsburgh has proved itself just about a match for all the strong teams it _has faced. Yale, though, scored four touchdowns and a field goal on Bucknell—great scoring power against an eleven as strong as that the Pennsylvanians took to New Haven. p Yale has a remarkably strong line — nd a backfleld that for power and CHAMPION’S GOLF SCORE IS DOTTED WITH BIRDIES versaltility probably iy not surpassed anywhere.

C. OPEN GOLF TOURNE EO DIEGEL, professional golfer at Friendship, D. C, is the first open champion of the District of Columbia. Diegel won the title vesterday over the course of the Columbia Country Club, with a score of 307, fifteen strokes in front of Robert T. Barnett, professional at Chevy Chase. Diegel's average for the four rounds at Columbia, which was stretched out to its maximum distance, was slightly under 77. His first round was 83, on Monday morning, and he came back with a fine 74 in the aiternoon. Both his rounds yesterday were 75, The score of the winner was 18, strokes behind the 289 made by James M. Barnes of Pelham in winning the national open championship of 1921 over the same course. But when the open was played the course was very fast. Yesterday a high wind ruined the scores of many of the contestants, especially on the long holes of the second nine. Where a cross-wind prevailed. Fred McLeod. the Columbia pro- fessional, who finished second in the | open of 1921, ended In third place yesterday, with 324. Chrls J. Dunphy, jast year's District amateur cham- plon, was fourth, but first place among the amateur contingent, end- ing_with a fine round of 78 to finish with 327, two shots in front of Roland R. MacKenzle, Columbia's youthful | amateur star. Diegel Makes Up Ground. Diegel, six shots behind Dunplky at the end of the first Tound, picked up eleven on the amateur with his 74 of Monday afternoon and led ialter R. Tuckerman by three be- ginning the third round. " At the end of the_third round with a 76, Diegel then led Fred McLeod, in second place, by nine shots. Another round of 75 yesterday afternoon gave him fifteen-stroke lead. I y CHESTER HOR7O! Applying spin . to the ball with the wood clubs is & different mat- ter, but ix a feature of the finer same of golf which every player nE oo R oy PUTTING skould begin to devotc himselt to by the time his game gets into the elghtien. Underspin or overspin may be lied with the wood club. The first makes the ball stop reason- ably “dead” where it falls. Over- #pia on the tee shot will make the ball run. The ball that can thus :-he controlled makes a most usetul ot, and profitable one, when the low-score golfer ix confronted with possible trouble some 200 or 230 rds from the tee. If there in a ditch or water at such a place he wants to take all the distance poa- ble, up to the trouble, and bo ure of stopping short of it. Un- derspin ix applied with the wood club by striking the ball Jast above its center and going straight down through the ball. Overspin is applied by striking a trifie be- low the bail's cemter and going straight through and atter the ball.

Instead of being able to concentrate upon an attack to meet the Generals, Coach Neale is having to build up an almost entirely new line. With Capt. Blackford out for several weeks on account of an injury received in the Trinity game and Jim Weaver re- covering from an operation for appendicitis in the hospital, the Vir- ginia line will have to be bolstered up by new mater| Not only does the loss of these two men mean that twe tackle positions will have to be filled, but since Capt. lackford has also been used in center to replace Walker it will also be necessary for Coach Neale to find a reserve pivot man. Ryan, a supstitute last year, and Stephenson, who has been’ tried on end, have both been given a trial in the tackle positions. Peard and Thurteil were also put into play as substitute centers. Baldwin, who was shifted to guard for the Trinity game, put up an ex- cellent fight and promises to look after this_position in a satisfactory manner. Winston and Buck Weaver, who played most of the Lrinity game, probably will fill the tackle positions and L. men were not allowed to sy time Monday afternoon, for Coaches Neale and Kellison put them through a hard two-hour workout, Yesterday the regulars were put into a scrimmage and they will_probably have the same thing todaj. —— ACTION ON COAST OFFERS PUT OFF BY NOTRE DAME SOUTH BEND, Ind., October 31— The athletic board at the University of Notre Dame has deferred action on several offers from the far west for foot ball games during the Christ- mas_holidays.

BUSINESS GAME NO TEST l FOR c followers to look its 1923 bow in the high CENTRAL HIGH TEAM BY ARGYLE FINNEY. 'S annihilation of Business yesterday, 50 to 0, has caused forward to Tech's eleven that will school foot ball chambionship series Friday agains. Western in Wilson Stadium. Those who have frequented the school gridirons decla; an eleven bearing the earmarks of a re that the Manual Trainers possess championship combination. Western opened the series unsuccessfully against Eastern, but Coach Ahearn of the Georgetown institution hopes to put on the ficld a team better versed in strategy and defense. In routing Business, Central failed to reveal any marked prowess, but the Stenographers certsinly demon- strated that they have the most | ragged combination seen in a high school gridiron serles in many moons. | Business had nothing to stop Central The strength of the latter really will not be known until it meets a worth-, while combination. Possibly the test will come Saturday afternoon when the Blue and White stacks up against | Eastern. Central’'s Line Good. Central's best work yesterday was done by its line. It opened wide ¥aps | in the Business front wall, and all| the Blue and White backsfhad to do | was wade through. Perhaps it was| vell that this was the case, for there was nothing deceptive in the Central attack, always a ten-man team of- fensive. The Blue and White lacked interferences, and the ball runners. with the exception of Gordon, were nothing to boast of. Gordon. though, put up a brilliant game. His egceptional speed proved of much worth in running back punts and kick-offs and in the open fieid. | after brushing by the tissue-paper Business line. He accounted for three of Central's seven touchdowns, one of them being made with a j4-yard run, | after he had intercepted a Business pass, and booted a goal from the 24- yard line. Business put up a plucky battle in the fi period. holding Central to Gordon's goal, but thereafter it could do nothing more than temporarily de- lay the dashes of the Blue and White | to touchdowns.
