SPORTS. Herring’s Article to Show Tha: Fall Pastime Is Not Commerecialized Proves That It Is, But Gives Proof for I's Sanction as Such. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK. December 19—In weekly, Donald Grant Herr N commercialized. an artic’e in the Princeton alumni g. the athletic contributing editor of that publication, ostensibly seeks to prove that foot ball is not Yet in the course of his lengthy discussion—perhaps without realiz- ing it—he offers abundant proof that And, as’ well, he submits abundant pi The procceds of foot ball at Pri Iy.devoted to the support of thirty-s the gridiron game is commercialized. roof for its sanction as such. nceton, he sets forth, are quite large- ix teams in fourteen different sports. He states that without funds derived from the sale of foot ball tickets money for the conduct of those otl her sports would have to come from student or alumni subscription, or both. The alternative would be the aban- donment of Intramural sports as now conducted, and also of the non-pro- ductive intercollegiate sports. Shows Stand Is Logicl In this way Herring demonstrat that In so far as the impracticability ©f support of the =ort from students or alumni is recognized the necessity of the conduct of ioot ball as a financial- 1y productive sport—n other words, upon a commercial basis—is propor- tionatély proper and lo 'cal. This i3 not to say tha: Herring con- sciously demonstrates the above. But the fact remains th one may draw no other conclusion irom his deduc- tions. WHhy not recognize things that are r? Well-meaning friends of foot do nothing but harm through their evasions. Why Jjuggle with terms and gloss over salient facta? Foot ball is an earner and must be conducted as such—wh.ch, among other things, means opponents that will be an attraction from the gate receint standpoint, favorable pub ity and sound business methods. In other words, foot ball has =a sound cconomic sanction, and t! great question facing educators whe would -seek to do away with the game or minimize its emphasis is simply this: What would you do without it? A ‘canvass of rallway passenger agents and sporting goods outftters makes It.clear that southern and far western resorts, where Dame Nature smiles genially upon golf links in the winter months, will experience a record-breaking invasion of north- ern golfers after the ho idays. Among golfing enthusiasts who can afford the expenditure of time and money, & winter vacation has come ‘0o pe a hadit and. in iruth, many golfers are now content to remain at ome in the equahble n.ont:s, play ng 30lf on thelr ho ‘e cours s and re- serv.ng miz-ation for weeks and ‘onths when links in these lat.t.d 8 fe under blankets of snow or are otherwise unplayable, To dat- no word has come as to ippor.unities for lucre which e heid out to the proiessiona s. there will be nty, undo.:bted y, even granting that some cha.ges n the method of handl.ng them will be largely in vogue.

SPORTS. GREAT INTEREST HINGES ON STEEL-SHAFTED CLUB Players Wondering If U. S. Association Will Continue to Follow Dictates of St. Andrews—Pros May De- mand Slice of Fees to Oven Event. N administration, EW YORK, December 19—At the approaching meeting of the United Statés Golf Association certain subjects may come up officially that are diverse from ordinary details of routine and For one thing there is a vast amount of interest being shown by golfers generally in the stand—if any—that will be taken with respect to stecl-shafted clubs A committee has been investigating the metal implements, and rumors have been drifting about that the report will be in their favor. If so, what will the U. S. G. A. do about it? If the past means anything the association is not likely to do any- thing that will displease St. Andrews—in other words, England. Right here is a point that may be brought up rather poignantly, even if un- officially. And parenthetically it might be stated that it is the number of matters that may come up from the floor and not as a part of the agenda of the meeting that may prove spectacular. As to the English, there is a grow ing_feeling that the relation of th U. 8. G. A, to St. Andrews is sort of “yes" proposition. We are told wha to do and how to do it and forthwit: we comply. Spurns Our Suggestions. We have occasionally ventured sug- gestions but nothing important has ever been accepted by our overseas cousins. On the other hand. England has barred the Schenectady putter. the rib-faced and punched irons, and has refused to make the amateur champion rounds over thirty-six holes except in the final. In fact, any helpful, or Interesting innovation developed in this country has been ruthlessly quashed on the | other side. Now American sentiment | has been piling up against any such i condition and it will be interesting to see how clearly the golf associ- ation recognizes this. It isn't as though golf were not played generally throughout the Unit d States. In its genesis it is & Scot.h ;ame, to be sure, and for_years and years it was played in Britain be- ore anyone in this country knew whether golf was a corn cure or a breakfast food. But times have chang- ed and the immense scale upon which the sport is now conducted here cer tainly gives us the right to suggest if not firmly to demand, an interna- tonal code. Pros May Make Demand. Another thing that may come up at the annual meeting is a demand from the professional golfers that they receive at least a fair per cent- age of the gate money at the open tourney. Why, they may be expected to ask, should they play for their own money, 30 fur 48 prizes are concerned? It would seem that public opinion is back of them In this stand. The pro- ceeds from the amateur are begin- ning to amount to sizable sums and it will be the contention of the pro that sufficient revenues for all pra 31 Inside Golf|' - '—By CHESTER HOR.ON_ Rapid photography has shown that the golf ball, when hit, does several htings taht the player usu- ally ix uneonscious of.

As to the lengthening out of the game whi'h marked play in the past season, the U. 8. G.
