SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1928.° Time Combats on East’s Card : Three-Cornered Tie Still Possible in Big Ten Big ARMY-NEBRASKA NEAR TOP OF LIST Yale-Harvard, N. Y. U.-Car- negie, Princeton-Navy and G. U.-Fordham Included. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Assoctated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 21.—Ne- braska's tussle with the Army will be the only intersectional foot ball in the East Saturday. The game is not drawing the same public interest it might have, but for two unforseen incidents during the last two weeks or so. Army apparently was a certainty to enter the battle with the Cornhuskers undefeated, but Notre Dame spoiled all that on November 10. Last Saturday, Nebraska unbeaten atd untied, was held to & scoreless diaw by sburgh. P“A‘}':’Il;gnnd Nebraska, however, I'Ildl draw plenty of attention even on a car fl::t ‘!’ncluffles such big-time combats as those between Yale and Harvard at New Haven; New ‘York University and Carnegie Tech, at Pittsburgh: Prince- ton and Navy, &t Philadelphia, and Georgetown and !l“m‘dhlm. at the Polo , New York. 5 Gr:“?:?c»flarvurd battle draws its 70.- 000 spectators, rain or shine, unsuc- cessful season or otherwise. Nothing short of an earthquake can affect that l attendance. Although Johnny Garvey | and Ed Decker are expected to play a| part of the game against Harvard, Yale seems destined to enter the fray the underdog. Bill Roper is experiencing plenty of trouble in convincing his Princeton “Tigers that the season didn't end with the Yale game. There's a strong Navy team to be met at Philadelphia Satur- day, Bill is telling his men, and the Tigers will have to approximate the form they showed against Old Eli to]ipirg keep their season's record clear of de- at. Chick Meehan, fearing that in sheer power Carnegie Tech will be more than a match for his New York Upiversity eleven indicates he will depend more upon speed than anything else to snap the Pittsburgh Engineer’s winning streak. He plans to put the five-foot three inch, 120-pound Dudley Hormel into the Violet's backfield in place of Follet. Hormel can run like a streak, but it's & question whether he can stand up for long under the battering he is certain to receive at Pittsburgh. Fordham is given only an outside chance of beating Georgetown and only & Maroon alumnus will go that far. SEEiS BIG GRID GAME. CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 21 (#). —W. Russell Lowe, assisiant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, virtually has completed negotiations for a meet- ing of Syracuse and Nebraska in the | Jicgornack first big intersectional foot ball game to be booked for Cleveland’s new lake- front stadium, which is yet to be con- structed. The game will be played in 1930, Lowe said. PICKS SWIMMING SITE.

Pa. Bill, as Coyle was well and affection- ately known by other newspaper men and a host of sports followers, was fatally stricken with a heart attack shortly before noon vesterday at his|perpert Lacey, the new club cham- apartment in 1361 Fairmont street. For some years he had been afflicted with heart trouble, and an illness had kept him at home several days prior to his deach. Apparently he felt well enough vesterday morning to return to his sports desk at the Herald, for his body, discovered on the floor of the apartment by friends, who had called to inquire about his health, was almost fully clothed. He was in his thirty-ninth | year, having been born at Reading on March 14, 1890. Coyle had been connected with the Herald since 1919, when ne came to Washington from Reading. He first held a position at the copy desk of the paper, but soon was transferred to the sports department, and in 1925 became sports editor. He was a member of the Base Ball Writers’ Association of Amer- ica and for several seasons covered the game for his paper. He also handled race track assignments, but his special- ty was basket ball, a game of which he wrote most enthusiastically. Coyle first became identified with newspaper work in his home town, where he worked in the sports depart- ment of the News-Times. At that time a brother, Charles, was sports editor of the Reading Eagle. Besides John, Coyle also is survived by another brother, Cormic, who recently has been living in Youngstown, Ohio.

Comdr. C. T. Lynes and Harry D. Cashman, both members of Washington, were loaded for bear with “hat tricks” yesterday. On the seventh hole Lynes holed a chip shot from the edge of the green for a birdie 3. and on the ninth hole Cash- | man missed his second shot short of the green, and from a spot 30 yards from the hole knocked the ball in for a par 3. Dissatisfied with the condition of the temporary green at the fifteenth hole at Chevy Chase, Chairman Morven Thomp- son of the golf committee has ordered that the green be converted into vir- tually an entire sand green. The regu- lar green was rebuilt several weeks ago and will not be in playing condition until Spring. Meanwhile, the tempo- rary green has become bumpy and fast. Eleven years ago E. B. Eynon, jr., won the District championship and held the title for the next two years in the absence of any competition for the championship during the war. In those days “Ed” Eynon was one of tha best players in the Midatlantic sector and a potent factor in any tourna- ment he entered.

But just to prove that time has not dimmed his eve nor marred his accuracy, Eynon showed D'Arcy Banagan. the assistant pro at Columbia. a touch of high life on the golf course last Sunday, playing the last 12 holes in one stroke better than par. He didn't play the first six noles 5o well, but starting at the seventh hole his score ran like this: 43444534424 446 ‘That. we pelieve, is almost a record for that stretch of the Columbia course, for in the streak are 11 pars and 1 birdie.

Jullien missed a shot a hole against him for the first three holes in a tournament match at Wash- ington and won all three of the holes with birdies. At the first hole Jullien, according to Cashman, played his sec- ond shot from a trap and holed & birdie 3. At the second his tee shot went far down the bank at the left of the green in a spot where he could not see the pin, and he holed out from there.

It is hard to believe there are so many kinds of tees in existence until they are all gathered in one place for inspection. There must be 35 or 40 different kinds of such devices. At Columbia Hugh H. Saum has attempted to do much the same thing, but his collection is not nearly as extensive as the Bannock- burn collection. MAKE GRID AGREEMENT. CHAPEL HILL, N.

OSTON, November 21 —Higher taxes have not hampered golf's growth the Association of Mas- sachuetts Assessors has been in- | formed by John R. Prescott, | Newton tax expert, who read a paper | on_the taxation of golf properties. ‘Though most golf clubs are situated in rapidly growing sections, and have been facing & steady increase in tax assess- ments, no reports have been received of said. In summing up Prescott said: “There appears to be no doubt that | golf is here to stay, for underlying it are | some of the strongest human impulses, such as the appeal of the out-doors, the | appeal of a distinct social atmosphere | for the individual and the family, and an aroused sporting enthusiasm ex- pressed in matches, tournaments and championships. ‘With all this work back of it, it is not likely that golf will lose its interest or momentum in our day. The golf in- dustry is a going business, steadily en- larging and its properties can be con- servatively assessed with this in mind. Broadly speaking, it has no idle plants, no_cbsolescence, no depreciation. It is a dependable source of taxable revenue.” The expert pointed out to the assessors that the golf club has so far escaped the publicity and study that has been given to almost every other kind of tax- able property in Massachusetts. 1t i kept itself in the background, he sald, generally accepting the verdict of as- sessors with few protests, making rare | appearances on the abatement books and never, as far as he knew, appealing oners or courts.
