SP ORTS. “UT" GREAT ASSET OF PANTHER TEA Three All-America Stars Are Backbone of Well Balanced Eleven. BY IRWIN FLUHARTY. TTTSBURGH, December 16. — i Coach Jock Sutherland, \\'ho‘ has forced his way into the in-| ner circle of the Nation's lead- ing grid coaches in the com- paratively brief span of nine years, ap- parently has produced a real master- piece of the pigskin art. His Pittsburgh eleven cannot now lose a game in 1929, as it plays its last game of the season against Southern California on January 1, 1930. Plentifully supplied with veterans and blessed with as fine an array of sopho- more material as any coach ever had, Jock’s worries this season centercd largely around the difficult schedule of the Panthers. But they trounced Duke's Blue Devils, hurdled the bar- riers at Lincoln, Nebr., and turned back West Virginia and Ohio State on suc- cessive Saturdays. Carry Great Record. Then came victories over Washing- ton-Jefferson, Allegheny, Carnegie Tech and Penn_State, all by rather large margins. Thus the potent Pittites got by a line-up of formidable foes and will carry the Blue and Gold colors unde- feated and untied out to the Rose Bowl | at Pasadena for the annual intersec- tional classic. The secret of Pitt's success is the painstaking Dr. Sutherland, a towering, Jantern-jawed Scotsman, grim and de- termined, with steel blue eyes. He says little, but he says it in a low, well modulated voice, still a bit burry from tho-e early days in the Highlands. Jock began his coaching career at Lafayette in 1919 after doing his bit in the service. He started with a raw and inexperienced lot of players at Easton, Pa. but he had the Eastern champlonship array in 1921, and La- fayette was at the top of the heap from that time until Sutherland succeeded Pop Warner at Pitt in 1923, returning | to his alma mater after an absence of five years, following his graduation from the Dental School in 1918. Sutherland is a_builder. He lays a firm foundation of fundamentals. His teams learn the A B C's of foot ball before they attempt more advanced Jessons. They know how to block. tackle and charge. This is a slow, but sure, method. It takes time to develop Pitt teams, but when they are developed —well, the present Pitt pack is an out- standing example. It is a powerful and deceiving at- tack that Coach Sutherland has evolved this year, with crushing line assaul battering off-tackle slants and a be. wildering variety of double and triple passes, end runs and forward passes, starting usually from a wing-back for- mation. Jock has a squad of capable, well balanced players, but among them are his three all-Americans—Toby Uansa, Joe Donchess and Ray Montgomery. And “Pug” Parkinson is little behind eany of these stars. Fine Supporting Linemen. Supporting_them are Charley Tulley, tackle; Daugherty, center; Capt. Al Di Meolo, guard; Jim Macmurdo, tackley and Collins, end—all fine linemen. In the backfield, Josh Williams, 8 rugged, quick-cutting ball carrier, is halfback who is about as good as any. Eddie Baker, at quarter, is the pivot man of the backfield, but he has help in plenty from the barrel-chested Park- inson and the elusive Uansa. They have “it,” these 1929 Golden Panthers, and before they are done, they will likely splash a lot more color cver the foot ball map. So, Southern California, here they come.

HE District of Columbia Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of American will hold its month- ly mecting tomorrow _ nigh at 8 o'clock at the Raleigh Hotel. The president of the chapter, Dr. M. D'Arcy Magee, announces that important business will come up at this meeting and requests all the members who possibly can do so to be present. One of the most important questions is that of pollution. Ways and means to start an ac‘ive campaign on the p lution of streams in nearby Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia, in- cluding the Potomac River, will get under way It is hoped to have Henry O'Malley, United States commissioner of fisheries. as cne of the principal speakers, and several of the leading fishing enthusi- asts in Congress are expected to tell the “Ikes” what they think of conditions here and throughout the country. The president of the local chapter re- cently said: “You can say for me that being a physician and knowing the evils of pollution, I consider it one of the biggest problems confronting our Na- tion today. Pollution is not a local con- dition; it _is general throughout the country. In my trips far and near I have brought it up for conversation with men of high standing in the con- servation field of the different States and the opinion is unanimous that something must be done and done promptly and efficiently. Both Streams Polluted. “As far as local conditions are con- cerned, I know of my own personal knowledge and observations that both the Potomac and Rock Creek are pol- luted. One of the principal objects of our local organization is to restore the streams to their former condition, so | that the bass and other fish planted in shem will not be destroyed by the many waste products that are daily allowed to enter into the Potomac. I know the conditions existing in and around Cum- berland and I feel sure that the Mary- land Department of Conservation will take immediate steps to remedy them. to clean up conditions within our own city, and when this has been accom- plished we can go outside and point with pride to the work that has been done. I have appointed a committece on pollution and have made several trips with them to have pointed out to me some of the places that are caus- ing pollution within the District of Columbia. “What is the use of the Bureau of Pisheries turning over large and small mouth bass to b planted by us in nearby streams if these streams, on account of their polluted condition, will kil the fish? To my mind this evil is far worse than purse netting and all kinds of ‘fish hogs' who net these gamey members of the bass family for cemmercial gain. They can make big inroads on the number of fish in both the upper and lower Potomac and ather streams, but they can’t catch them all, whereas, the polluted water, if condi- tions are allowed to grow worse, will entirely exterminate these gamesters and all others fish beside. Calls on All Anglers. | “I feel that it is the duty of not only | the members of our organization but of every angler in the District of Columbia to do everything in his power to fur~ ther the movement to abolish pollution. I not only look at it from the viewpoint of an angler, but from the standpoint of my profession as a physician. I can | visualize the injury to the health of our citizens if this thing is allowed to continue. Witlf the increase of popula- tion more plants will be required to| meet their wants, and the more plants crected along the banks of the Poto- mac_the more polluted will become the | condition of its waters if something is not done to turn these waste products into some other channel. | “A way must be found to remady this | condition. It may mean spending of | thousands of dollars, but what differ- ence does a few thousand or a few hundred thousands of dollars mean | when it goes to protect the life and | Harry Shows Wrist Action On Mashie BY SOL METZGER.

You can say for me that I am on the warpath and will remain on it until I have accom- plished sométhing to start the ball roll- ing to do way with this evil forever. Naturally, being a fisherman or an angler, whichever you may care to call me, I would like to sce the streams heavily restocked with zame fish, but first and fceremost, I want to see the water that thousands of us bathe in and thousands of us swallow before it passes through a filtration plant, be in such a condition that there will be no flarebacks, such as cases of infected eyes and ears and possibly something more serious.” . ‘The Virginia State Game and Fich Conservation Commission, which usual- ly holds its meeting in Richmond, hon- ored the city of Alexandria last week by transferring its activities to that place. The meeting was held in the office of Judge W. S. Snow and A. Wil- lis Robertson, chairman of the com- mission, presided. The legislative report to Gov. Byrd and the State Assembly showed an in- crease in the sale of hunting licenses during the past year of nearly 25,000. Receipts for the year were $312,000, an increase of $117.000 over 1928. The commission adopted two new regulations, one permitting fishing in Highland County and another permit- ting fox hunting in Green County, the season to conform with the adjoining counties of Madison and Albemarle. The elimination of the present com- bination license requirements in tide- water streams and ponds was recom- | mended. Col. H. J. Stone spoke on the wild water fowl situation on the Potomac and explained the river patrol estab- lished by the commission. He said that | a Virginia game warden and a game | warden from Maryland will travel to- gether on the patrol boat. Saturday the members of the com- mission spent the day inspecting con- dition of wild fowl on the Potomac River, Those attending the meeting were: Maj. A. Willis Robertson of Richmond, chairman; B. W. Stas of Tazewell, Al- lan Epes of Blackstone, S. P. Goodloe of Afton, Judge W. S. Snow of Alex- andria, M. D. Hart of Richmond, exec- utive secretary, and L. H.

EW YORK, December 17.—Thus far, at least, the race for the | unofficial Winter golf cham- pionship seems to have devel- o into_ a per;onnl Jodp\lltexl ween Horton Smith, the * :leltost.“ and Craig Wood, Bloomfield, N.| .,_professional. g O‘; the six major competitions held so far this Winter, Horton and Craig each has accounted for two. The big-| gest prize of them all, the Professional | Golfers' Association _championship, eluded both of them as Leo Diegel, pro at Agua Caliente, walked off with this | honor for the second straight year. An- other rich prize, the Catalina Island open, fell into the grasp of Tony Manero of New York, who thus scored the first | major victory of his golfing career. ‘Smith and Wood divided the other four tournaments, the Joplin star, who was the sensation of the Winter cir- cuit last vear, winning the Berkeley | the Oregon open, while Wood was countering with victories in the | Oklahoma City and Hawalian opens. | Wood began the Winter season with a triumph in the Oklahoma City open, where he scored a 73 on the last 18 to ! nose out Tommy Armour of Detroit, former open title holder, by two strokes. | His 72-hole total was 298; Armour's, 300. Smith Scores in Oregon. A few days later Smith shot won- derfully consistent golf at Portland to capture the Oregon open with a score of 280 for 72 holes, Wood finishing sixth, with 287. Just to make it a real duel, Wood beat out Smith by three strokes to win the Hawalian open, with an aggregate score of 289, the Joplin golfer faltering on the last two rounds. Smith came back with another 280 to capture the Berkeley open, Wood finishing far back in the ruck, with 299, although the two players were tied, with 145, at the halfway point. Then followed the professional cham- pionship and Wood eliminated Smith in the first round, 1 up at the thirty- seventh, only to suffer a defeat by Johnny Farrell by an identical score in the third round. Farrell went on to the final round, where he bowed to Diegel, 6 and 4. Neither Wood nor Smith figured in the Catalina Island 54-hole open cham- pionship, which Manero won by scoring a 59 on his last 18 holes. Smith fin- ished no better than fourteenth, with 193, and Wood in a tie for thirty-fifth place, with 198, CIRCLES maining rounds will be played on suc- ceeding Saturday nights.

A notice posted on the club bulletin boards and mailed to members discloses that payment of the regular $2 green fee for guests no longer entitles them to play as much golf as they wish for that fee. Instead, if they play only 18 holes the fee will be $2. If they play 27 holes the fee will be $3, and if they play 36 holes the fee will be $4. The system is practically the same as that at public fee courses, al- though the amount charges are smaller, for on these courses the player is charged so much for each round. The green fees on Saturdays, Sun- days and holidays remain the same. This charge is $5 per day, with no limitation on the amount of play. EARLE, PIONEER POLO PLAYER IN D.

TOKIO, December 17.—Ichiya Ku- | magae, acclaimed the greatest tennis player Japan ever produced, has an-| nounced his retirement from tourna- | ment play, having reached the ripe old age—for tennis players—of 40. Hence- forth he will confine his tennis interests | to coaching promising young players | and engaging in an occasional mild | game for exercise and recreation. | " Kumagae recently proved that he is |far from through by winning the | doubles championship “of Japan_ with Takeichi Harada, 29-year-old veteran, who is planning a return to Davis cup competition this season after two years’ absence. The Japanese team, under Harada's leadership, is to challenge in the European zone in 1930 instead of in the American zone as it always has dene before. “Itchy,” as he was familiarly known on American courts almost a decade ! ago, was the trail blazer of the Japanese | in international tennis competition. | When he was graduated from Keio | University in 1910 he already was known as the best in Japan, but it was not until after the war that Kumagae became a sensational figure on foreign courts, with his looping drives and tireless defense. In 1919 Kumagae gained the distinc- tion of ranking third on the American list, headed only by the incomparable | Tilden and Johnston. He reached the | peak of his career in 1921, when he and Zenzo Shimizu reached the challenge round of the Davis cup play, only to be turned back by Tilden and Johnston.

GOLF GOSSIP A series of painful experiences, in which he has sampled the contents of every bunker in nearby Maryland, ex- plored each nook and cranny of every water hazard and patch of woods, has resuited in Russell T. Edwards, demon publicity man for the American Na- ture Association, breaking into a rash of words about the phantom called golf. Edwards does not call it by the ac- cepted Scottish name; he calls it “Golph,” and his book is called “The Golrher; His Origin and His Finish." He declares the book is the outcome of a considerable period of research by | the Mashie Niblick' Research Founda- tion, N Edward crowns himself with the or- der of PHD, which, he -explains, stands | for “parhound,” although his fellow members of the Manor Club claim he never has had more than a nodding acquaintance with par. He delves into the fate of the golph committee chairman and into the rea- sons for the existence of the antique shop-tea house combination, and takes a crack at the reason for all the hulla- baloo about the luckiest stroke in golf— the hole in one. Office conferences, where the boss hangs out the “do not disturb” sign while he goes through the contortions of a new swing guaranteed to eliminate the slice, came in for a share of “joshing” at the hands of the eminent Phd. Edwards carefully ex- plains this chapter is intended for the edification of the busy business man.

The great son of Hastings-im. |ported Fairy Gold, 'foaled in 1905, passed yesterday at the Elmendorf es- tate of his master, Joseph E. Widener.

August Belmont, and at the death of that | sportsman was sold at the dispersal sale of the Belmont thoroughbreds in 1925 for $100,000 to Mr. Widener. The latter turned down many huge offers for the horse. Fair Play became famous when he sired Man O’ War, which won every race in which he started except the one in which he was defeated by Harry ‘Whitney's Upset Man O’ War now is at stud near here, along with a num- ber of other sons.
