THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., NOVEMBER 22, 1925—SPORTS SECTION. Catholic University and George Washington Score Easy Gridiron - GALLAUDET ELEVEN, 60-0 Winners, Made Up Mainly of Substitutes, Advance Almost at Will, With Manfreda Getting Away for Many Long Dashes. ATHOLIC U C S NIVERSITY'S game with Gallaudet played yesterday at Brookland Stadium was little more than a good work-out for Coach Jack McAuliffe’s suqad. ¥ Playing with a team composed mainly of substitutes the Brooklanders ran up a 60-to-0 count on the eleven from Kendall Green and at no stage of the game were they in danger of being scored on. From the time Adams intercepted a forward pass midway oi the opening period and raced across the goal for the home team's first the game was a romp for the red- Regan. Nick Manfreda the big offen- sive star of the fray and rarely failed gain ground when carrying the In the second quarter this little halfback got away for a ard run that netted C. U.'s third touchdown and in the third and fourth periods he made two runs of 80 vards each that added a dozen points to the score. In addition to counting on Man freda’s broken field runs, the Brook land team scored by the aerfal route and in the final period sent over two touchdowns with ries of line plunges. Connors was on the receiv ing end of a 30-yard forward pass that netted 6 points in the third ses- sion. Gallaudet attempted to advance in the second half by using the aerial attack, but a negligible percentage of the heaves found their marks. Myl- narek, right halfback, made the long- est run for the visitors when he raced 30 yards after pulling down a C. U. pass. Line-up and Summary. Cath. U. (80). Positions. Galla McBaiin. . | o. .

'WASHINGTON AND LEE DEFEATS N. C. STATE By the Associated Press. LEXINGTON, Va., November 2 ‘Washington and Lee, undefeated i the Southern Conference, wound up its gridiron season at home today witl 14-to-0 victory over North Carolina State. It was the fifth time this year that the locals have downed a conference member. The only other remaining game on the General's schedule is the contest with Florida at Jacksonville on_Thanksgiving day. North Carolina State's downfall to- day was due principally to the inabil- ity of its ends to forestall the charges of Palmer, Rauber and Wiison. Several times during the contest Palmer circled the ends for runs of 10 to 20 vards, and Wilson, on one oc- caslon, went around end for 15 yard Rauber went through the line on se eral plays for 10 to 15 yard gains. The Generals’ first score came near the close of the initial period, after they had gained possession of the ball on downs on State's 20-yard line and a pass, Wilson to Rauber, advanced it to the 5-yard mark, from where a 4l4-yard galn through the line by Rauber enabled Wilson to carry the ball over. Rauber then kicked goal. In the next period, the Generals got the ball on their own 20-yard line, and several successive end runs of from 10 to 17 yards by Palmer put it on State’s 2-yard mark. Here Rauber hit tackle for 1 yard, and then went over for the second touchdown. Again he kicked goal. The third and fourth periods were principally punting duels, although in the third quarter Palmer got off to a 20-yard run off left tackle that brought spectators to their feet. He was downed, however, on State’s 20- vard line, and the Generals lost the ball when McDowell intercepted Wil- son's pass. CARNEGIE TECH AHEAD, ST. LOUIS, November 21 (#).— After holding Carnegic Tech to a lone touchdown for three-quarters of the game, St. Louis University collapsed in the final period, giving the visitors w POINT, N. ¥..

Thé cadets played their varsity men for only a part of the second period, during which they scored four touch down and a field goal. In the ope g period second-string men scored two touchdowns. During the third and fourth periods the Army team was made up almost en- titely of third-string substitutes.

Harry Vardon was the first ond, Walter Hagen the third and Jim Barnes the last All the golf world is wondering go back to England and do what Ha nificent effort—repeat the victory which made him the 19, champion. If brains will do the work. Jim chance, for there are few golie wh re any. And everybody knows that in goli, as in matter counts as much as physical skill and the unn luck in deciding championships. It was brains that helped Barnes to top off of effort by winning the British title at Prestwick this year. One play which Le made and which + likely saved him the stroke that brought him victory was purely tac- tecal in its nature. It would mever *d to many a fine golfer to have made this pla Was Final Round. It was on the first green during the final round. Jim was right up among the leading contestants as he began the round, and naturally was not wasting any strokes if he could help himself. Yet, after his second shot on the first hole, a wasted stroke seemed imminent. Now the first hole at Prestwick is by no means a difficult par 4. It meas- ures about 350 yards, a drive and a short pitch. The fairway and the green are bounded on the right by a solid stone wall, beyond which is a railway, and this is out-of-bounds territory. The since distance is of no particular value on the drive, usu- ally employs a straight iron or spoon off the tee, making sure to keep away from the wall. Barnes followed this plan, taking a driving iron for the play. His tee shot was fine, but his mashie second went over the green, leaving him probably 60 feet from the pin. There was more than one reason for this error. In the first place, a bunker ran across the full front of the green, making it dangerous to play short. Secondly, the green was hard and slippery, and Barnes was only one of many players who had found it difficult to hold. Jooked Over Ground. Jim looked over the ground, pre- paring to play to the cup, Then he suddenly surprised the big galler Instead of running the ball up directly | toward the hole, he turned and played a billiard shot off the stone wall flank- ing the right side of the green, which side, as he stood, was at his left. Here is how Barnes explains that play: “You see, my second shot had gone right past the cup and off the green. However, the ground at the rear of the green was clear, with no trap to | bother the player, and to th speetator it must have r || Special trains leave White House st men have won both the British and to achieve this feat Ray the sec- now if Barnes in 1926 will be gen was un: able to ble to do despite a ought to stand more o play headier golf than he I had a straight play back to the on my third shot. “But such was not the in front of me was « hog's-back tion running parallel with the 1 the cup.

Pl ground like this, it would be absolute 1y impossible to tell where one's putt would end up, partic ularly with green so slippery. 1t was pos just then. for me to burden mys with one, or two, or even three extra strokes. I looked over to my left towar the stone wall. T noticed that wall was set right into the green and the ground sloped gently downward from it in the direction of the cup. “I decided to play a billiard shot off | the wall, and I did so with a straight | iron.
