Having won his third national ama- teur title «ut Minikahda Saturday, Jones has only one major title ta Quire—the British amateur—and three major American golfing records to equal. ; Bobby has yet to win one more United States amateur title to tie Jerome Travers' mark, and he must capture the American amateur and open championships in the same vear to equal Chick Evans' achievement. In addition, Evans holds another golf. 'ing mark, which Jones vet to tie— & low of 286 to win the national open. It was on Minikahda's famous links that Evans in record pace won the national open in 1916 with 286 strokes, ana for 11 years the course had been content with the golf it had produced i for But along came the young man who | »t 25 years of age generally is 3 claimed the premier golfer of the world, having just won the British open with a record score of 283 Eliminated Veteran Stars. This sturdy Southerner displaved wuoch saintillating golf that he not only set a oourse record of 67 in the second medal round over the 6669 vards of rugged golfing ground, but he elimi- nated by golf almost, if not quite, so good by wide margins such veteran stars as Jimmie Johnston of Mini kahda, Francis Ouimet of Boston and Chick Evans himself in the final round v, 8 and 7 i s‘lt:“il’a eating Evans the rcinstated ohampion duplicated his vecord of #1—36—67 from Minikahda, while par is 35—37—72. He was not o fast in the second round. But, having gained a lead of 6 up in the first circnit, was able to increase that ad- vantage to 7 up at the twenty-seventh hole, although Evans, displaying for a time the golf of 1916, cut the lead: to 4 up with a birdie on the twenty- third hole. And Minikahda was soon to rest from the whack,of the driver and the elick of the irom, for, after halving the twenty-elghth in 5 with three utts each, Evans accidentally moved Eil ball in addressing it on the twenty- ninth hole. So, instead of halving to make Jones dormie 7, Chick took 4 and lost the hole and the match. Three Rounds Under 7 Jones’ 67 was preceded on Friday by 2 69 in his 11-and-10 victory over Ouimet, who sprang into fame around the golfing world in 1913 by turning back a British invasion and winning | don and Ted Ray. And the Georgian had chalked up a splendid 68 the day before that in his conquest of Johi ston, who only recently had outplayed Jones in the national open at Oal mont, leading the fleld for the first two rounds. In truth, Jones scored four rounds, although not consecutively in 271 strokes on a championship course, and 10 under par for all the holes he | played during the title joust, although | by the vagaries of golf he had a severe | sinking spell in the first match round nd narrowly escaped the defeat that | overtook the 1926 champion, George | Von Elm, in the second match round. | That misadventure prevented Mini- | kahda from a chance to be the scene | of the third succesisve finals between Jones and Von Eim, but doubtless had | the Californian reached the ultimate tilt this year, he would have gone the | way of all ¢ rush of Bobby ! Made ? Eagles, 20 Birdies. For it seemed impossible even to { halve the game of a man who by a | rave combination of skill and destiny could place a wooden second shot a foot from the ninth hole on top of steep hill that made the actual vards from tee to flag a virtual 600 vards. This eagle 3 was his second of the tourney and his birdies num- bered a score with scare a hole above par, except in the human frailty round of Wednesday when he unma- chinelike enough to slip to 8 strokes for 18 holes. Terhaps Evans, who by the defeat became runner-up for the third time, in addition to having won the title twice, was precluded from better golf by his amazement at the superhuman game of his opponent, for he said in accepting the runner-up medal: “It is worth a defeat to witness such mar- velous golf.” Not that the loser did not play well most of the way, pitching inside as often as his conqueror and at times outdriving him. 1In fact, although Chick’s putter, “Sourdough,” did not produce so steadily as Bobby's “Ca- lamity Jane,” it did get down the longest putt of the day, a Z0-footer on the eleventh hole for the only deuce of the match. And it was “Sourdough” that won the thirty-seventh hole semi-final from Roland MacKenzie of Washington on Friday by sinking a long putt on the undulating green of the final hole. But “Calamity Jane” seldom missed getting down any putt from 5 to 8 feet, and occasionally sank a longer one, while Chick's square-shafted club foozled several short ones and many of medium length, it YACHTSMEN ARE ACTIVE WITH REGATTA IN SIGHT| ITH the annual President’s Cup regatta less than three weeks in the offing, prep- arations for the big event are keeping things hum- ming in local hoating circles.

Penn State’s Athletic Action May Have Far-Reaching Effect, BY LAWRENCE PERRY. E State’s action in discon- tinuing all athletic scholar- ships, in deciding to concen- trate upon the development of P of undergraduates instead of singling out stellar performers for speciali attention, is the most extraordinar occurrence in the annals of modern intercollegiate athletics. And the sup- plementary announcement that all acouting would be abandoned, whether or not rivals dropped the practice, is egually important inasmuch as it em- phasizes the spirit which has_actu- ated the authorities at State College in_this 1natter. The action is the more interesting in that it comes in a region which, whether justly or unjustly, has gained a reputation for practices in the gen- eral conduct of foot ball that have not seemed to meet that spirit of idealism which elsewhere has resulted in the formation of conferences bound by rules and ethical standards designed 10 put intercollegiate athletics upon a higher piane. But no important university or col- lege has gone as far as Penn State ras mow gone, and results of the move will be watched with the keen- est _interest by educators and by athletic authorities generally Penn State has had her share of athletic fame—which is to say foot ball fame. Any eleven that downed the men of Nittany had reason for pride. But in recent years the star of success has not blazed with consistent £leam. One may wonder whether the State College authorities were struck Ly the fact that in defeat on the gridiron In recent years the college walls did not crumble, the curve of envollment in the various departments did not subside—that, in short, the in- stitution thrived and went its way in serenity whether her teams won or lost. It may seem curious, but the fact actually is that educational institu- ions do manage to go on even in the face of a lack of athletic success that makes their names potent—on sport- ing pages—throughout the nations. athletic ability among masses | Penn State began to spring in the | ball limelight in when, with such play- Hess. snell, Henry, her gridiron meteors, ol riv s Bucknell, Pe vania and Pittsburgh were gondly scores.

A situation unparalleled in ring his- tory prevails. Only two champions, ene Tunney, heavyweight, and Joe Dundee, welterweight, have a clear right to the titles they bear.

Both scaled title heights the same and both, with at home and abroad to their ppear vertain to stay at the ome time to come.

The wonder now is just how or why Jones hap- pened to get sufficiently off key to fin- ish only eleventh this year in the American open at Oakmont. Barring the biggest sort of an upset, Miss Wills will climb back to the ten- nis throne at Forest Hills to wear the crown for the fourth time, although she has yet to cast her, first vote. The power of a game almost masculine in its severity seems likely to keep her {at the top indefinitely, although she | faces the challenges of several up and | coming rivals. Among them can be | counted Betty Nuthall, the 16-year-old Snglish girl, showing as much if not more promise than Miss Wills did at that age. . Little Sarah Palfrey, 14-year-old Boston girl, who holds the national girls’ indoor title, also is of champion- ship caliber, in the opinion of hes friend and coach, Mrs. Hazel Hotch- kiss Wightman, who helped Miss Wills on the road to fame scveral years ago. Sarah has everything in the way of strokes now, Mrs. Wightman be- lieves, and will be heard from in a year or two at the most. TILDEN TAKES TWO s i | | | By the Associated Press.

WILSON ASKS MORE PAY TO PLAY PRO FOOT BALL SEATTLE, August 29 (#).—George Wilson, former college and profes- sional foot ball star, is out of the game unless Lastern promoters raise their bids for his services. “Foot ball is no longer a sentiment with me,” he said here today in an- nouncing that he had turned down three proposed contracts from Ameri- can League clubs. As a University of Washington play- er, Wilson was almost unanimously chosen all-American back after the season of 1925. Last year he led his own professional team. ‘The rejected contracts were sub- mitted by Chicago, New, York and Philadelphia organizations, in which most ewport New dates were not announced | At the pace they have been travel- | Jones—seem | brilliant | t | | i TITLES AT NEWPORT| Sep- | jsince, won the final here from John| month, the Davis Cup and the Inter- | the Davis Cup team, and still have | - | tributes to the points by | how- | indicated | all the plavers of the country as a | George (Lott) and | | | for the golfer is the one used by Bobby Jones.

A grip a little bit off can have a ter- fect on the hall—no doubt about The thing for golfers to learn, to put the grip tha then, s what is lik slightly off.

(Copyright. 1927.) By a Staff Correspondent MINNEAPOLIS, August amateur champio ip which can open tournaments, Bobby has put | here Suturday doesn’t settle anything | else, it settled in the minds of many who saw the first day's play that 18- hole matches in such an important matter as the national amateur cham- pionship prove very little as far as the relative worth of the players is con- cerned. 3 Next to the struggle to qualify. they look on the twin 18-hole matches which ushered in the championship as the roughest test to get over. And the carnage last Wednesday over the abbreviated route of 18 holes, was something to look at. Who would give Harry TLegg., Minneapolis vet- eran, Elm at 36 holes even over Legg's own cours And who would think that Maurice J. McCarthy ington Golf and Country Club, good as he known to be, would carry Bob Jones to the finishing hole of a 36-hole match. That is exactly what happened over the 18-hole route last Wednesday and there is no doubting the fact that a good deal of the interest was taken from the tournament when Von Elm was relegated to the gallery by Harry Legi For there were those—and they were in a majority—who looked forward to the final of last year and three years ago repeated again here at Minneapolis, on this splendid course by the side of Lake Calhoun. Even the draw didn’t look good out | here in the open spaces, for it was top heavy in the bottom half, with Ouimet, CHANGES DUE IN CONDUCT | OF AMATEUR TITLE GOLF| chance to beat George Von | of the Wash-| Marston, Cockran, Johnston and Jones | outshining the Von Eim-Evans star- ring act in the upper bracket. And| even the United States Golf Associa-| tion officials admit they haven't heard the last of the criticism of that draw. Yet after all, that is what the cham- pionship is for. To seitle the question of supremacy in amateur golf. But this 18-hole match busi- ness is the rough stuff that brings| tears to the eyes of the men who fig: ure. Anything may happen in an| elghteen-hole match, while mistakes may be compensated for in a 2 fray. A couple of missed putts are enough to blow a man out of the tour- nament over the 18-hole route, while they are more or less neutralized over | doubie that distance. | If players have their way—and it if they might-—the United | States Golf Association will go back to its old method of 36-hole ma play rounds, starting the qualifying on Saturday, continuing it Monday. and having five 36-hole match rounds. Either that or qualify only 16 men it the championship is to be played in a week. And it's fairl: fe to predict that the Oakmont experiment won't be repeated. Out of it all—the hurly-burley at Minikahda the past week, also comes the reflection that there is a crop of youngsters growing up at every cross- roads, who may dethrone the title. holders of today at any time—par- ticularly over 18 holes. Who in the East ever heard of George Thomas or Dave Martin, Howard Walton or |Allen Moser, all from the West. ‘They’'re all potentiai chanipions, and Imay crash through any day. Hlooks By the Associated Pre EW YORK, August 29.—Youth may have its fling here and there this season, but when it comes to defending two of the most eagerly sought trophics of the sports world next national Polo Cup, Uncle Sam pr fers to put his faith in age and ex- | perience. It is one of the most remarkable “‘old guard” in athleti; history that finds the old “big four” of polo back together again, picked | to meet the British international team at Meadowbrook after a line-up in- Sommerville Putts Only With Wrists O - BY SOL METZGER. When Ross Sommerville clinched the Canadian amateur title at Torsnto m 1926 on the thirty-third gren by sinking the putt that spelled victory, attention was direct- ed to the steady putting of this crack amateur throughout the week. It was a decided factor in his well merited victory. Sommer- ville, very much like Jerry Travers —a fine model to copy—grips this club with his fingers and his right thumb down the shaft. He stands over the ball so that his eyes ans directly over the line of the putt, und he uses his wrists entirely in making the putt, bringing the club pretty nearly straight back on the line. His stance is somewhat odd in that his left foot is slightly for- ward. His feet are close together, tha left at right angles to the line. AMERICA DEPENDING UPON VETERANS IN CUP EVENTS cluding the 21.year-old phenomenon, Winston Guest, had been tried and found wanting. Tommy Hitcheock, young in years at 27, but a veteran nevertheless, is on_the team, but Webb, Stevenson and Milburn, the old campaigners, have been around long enough to bring the team’s average age up to 5813, Webh, at 42, was good enough to oust a youth half his age, while Milburn, 46, still is going strong enough to take a leading part in his eventh international series at an age when most athletes are golfers. Polo, 2 “rock 'em and sock ‘em” sport, also happens to be a game in which many players are just settling into their stride at 30 or over. They last longer, Milburn admits, because | they don't have to worry about their | legs. The ponies provide these. { It is a scarcely less noteworthy | circumstance that finds the defense! of the Davis Cup against the expect- ed French thrust put in the hands of the veteran “hig four” of tennis— Tilden, Johnston, Williams and Hunter. Here again youth had its chance, where 18-year-old Johnny Doeg and | 20-year-old George Lott were given wpponumnu to try out for the team. But experience got the call and as a result American hopes will be pin- {ned on a quartet averaging within a | fraction of 34 vears of age. Johnston | is 32, Tilden, 34; Hunter, 33, and Wil- | liams, 36. They will concede about | | six or seven years a man to their obponents if tlie F'rench do the antici- pated and reach the challenge r at Philadelphia. T ‘This may be the last big stand for Tilden, Johnston and the other vet. erans, especially if such yvoungsters | as Doeg and Lott come forward with. | in the next vear as rapldly as they | have this season. It would not be surprising to see either or both of these young stars on the Davis Cup team of 1928, regardless of what fate befalls the famous trophy next month, . CAPITAL A. C.
