O, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1927, SPORTS. ‘® 59 15, National Golf 1 ournament S Ought Here : Two-Team Plan Wanted in Basket Ball TITLE MEET EVERY TOYEARS IS URGED Capital Should Get Regular Turn at Championships, Flaherty Avers. MeCALLUM. If championship Wash decade the or BY W. R. NATIONAL of some description f« on at least every Either the women's « men’'s amateur, the open the ®rofessional Golfers’ Association match play championship. The idea comes from Flaherty of Congressional Club, one of the coterie of who pulled for Tommy Armour—suc desstully—to win the open champion- ship at Oakmont last June. Flaherty points to the fact that W ashington has had but one national champion ship in more than two decades, and that even though the Car is a bit far South for putting greens to be in perfect condition in Aux the courses can reach top-notch shape by midSeptember, and in the case of the open, which is usually played early in June, the golf courses around Wash ington are in the finest possible con dition. Flaherty toots no particular horn mor exploits any particular course What he would like to see—and his judgment is backed by many Wash ingtonians—is a national champion ship here every 10 years, placing the Capita] definitely in the nationa pionship circuit, with place in the list of cities sible national title venues. Whether it be the amateur, the open, the wom en's or the P. G. A. makes little dif ference, just so Washington gets a national title tilt every 10 years or so. The United States Golf Association has had one unpleasant experience in Washington, reflecting no particular discredit on the course or its s 5 Back in 1921 the national open held here. Two weeks before the time for playing the championship (and it was held late that vear—in July) the Columbia Country Club cou was in rfect condition. Fast and hard, to sure, but truer and better putting greens have mever been offered. Greens Were Ruined. Five days before the championship opened, the deady brown patch (then an unknown quantity and still some what a mystery) struck the putting greens, and the velvet putting sur faces that were Columbia’s pride wilt ed as fog before sun and wind. When the championship opened, the greens were marred by great brown patches without grass, on which putting was a most uncertain factor. It was the fault of no individual, and scores of members of Columbia Country Club moved heaven and earth to repair the damage. No one could have done more than these men of ample club spirit to get the course in apple-pie order for the open. But| the damage had been done and the time for repair was too short. The open was played on a golf course that fell far short of the Columbia of two weeks before the championship. And Columbia was stunned, heart-broken by_the tragedy of it all i Tt left a bad taste in the minds of | the U, S. G. A. officials, even though | they knew Columbia had gone the | limit to repair the damage and they | were perfectly aware that the brown | patch was s to combat it _had mot then been ex- ploited. Rut that is past history and it won't be repeated, locally. at least. Secience has found a way to brown patch at its source, and to stop | its development on’ the hot. still | nights it gets in its deadly work. Should Seek Tourney. So that experience is over and dove | for and Washington can have a na- tional championship without that dan- | ger hanging over its head. Next year the amateur is to go to PBrae Burn, near Boston, and the open | to Olympia Fields, near Chicago, while | Thomas F. Country boosters | the women's will be played at Vir-| G {19 ginja Hot Springs and the P. G. A. at Baltimore. The following year the amateur will go to Los Angeles, while the open, the P. G. A. and the wom- en’s have not been spoken for. There is little doubt that if one of the local clubs puts on a vigorous campaign for the open or the women's a partial promise, at least, might be given. Con- gressional, Burning Tree, Columbia, Indian Spring, Washington or any of the other clubs might be in the field Flaherty’s idea is a good one and might well be pushed to the limit. Certainly the Capital of the United States, even if it is only because there are a half dozen fine golf courses near it and because it is the Capital, shonld receive some consideration in the championship list. It may be, of course, that when the Midatlantic section gets a representa tive on the executive committee of the U, & G. A. ‘t will be so represented that it will be in a position to bid more boldly for a championship. Tt j~sn't hrd a representative since Dr Walter S.

URGES A RUNNING PLAY FOR EXTRA GRID POINT By the Associated Press, _CORVALLIS, Oreg., December 15.—A change in fatercollegiate foot ball rules whereby in making a try for the extra point after hdown a s(‘orlnfi eleven would b en one play, but not a kick, in which to push the ball acruss goal from the 2!3-yard line is rec- ommended by Paul J. Schissler, coach of the Oregon Aggies. The present rule permits a team to try for the point from the 3-yard line, either by any scoring play or by place-kick or drop-kick. Schiss- ler would eliminate the kick. “The present means of try for point after touchdown is compara- ble to the old basket ball ruling which allowed one man to throw a the free throws from foul: said Schissler, who left today for New York to attend the meeting of the National Foot Ball Coaches’ ‘Asso- ciation. “Then the team with a well de- veloped free thrower had the best of it, and the other team was out of luck, no matter how much better it might be as a whole.” feet 2 inches | as the tallest 7 him game fs clearly established.
