O. McGEEHAN ——(Touring Abroad A Gentle Reproof. ing a gentle and beautifully written bawling-out from an old ! MONG the batch of letters received.from home is one contain- grad of Annapolis. At this distance from the overemphasis of intercollegiate athletics it seems good to receive any notice ‘| whatever, even a bawling-out; consequently the reproof which the writer felt was to be pigeonholed is released for what it is worth and it seems to be worth something. ““You possess the gift of occasionally irritating me to the writing point, though I accomplish no more thereby than the waste of good per. But if you are still regrettably confined to bed, even the utile vaporing of an old grad, who certainly can have no illusions as to his standing in your eyes, may help pass the weary hours. “I have heard somewhere, Mr. McGeehan, War veteran and served in the Philippines. to me to explain much; for the K:mthml attempt at pure romance, to it have ever entirely recovered “If I am right, the hard-boiled cyn- icism of your views upon every aspect of athletics, avowedly professional or ‘amateur’—with the solitary exception of the conduct of such affairs at West Point—is merely what psychologists call your ‘defense mechanism’ against the incurable romanticism of a California- bred Irishman who served in the Phil- ippines in the Spanish War. “But when you look at West Point or at a slightly pudgy gentleman in the uniform of the United States Army, vou don’t see them with the accuracy which characterizes your vision of the aspiring boxfighter or the perspiring tennis ‘amateur.’ Because, without realizing it, you are looking not at what is actu- ally before your eyes, but at your own lost youth and its illusions. “You know accurately the value of the protestations of the lily-white A. A. U. or of a base ball magnate; but pre- cisely similar protestations by a West Point old grad go unchallenged by a man with that ancient glamour in his eyes. “I hasten to add that the gentlemen in Navy uniforms are equally pudgy, and their protestations no more sincere. All that I am trying to do is to explain why you are susceptible to one and im- mu.neqtol the nlh:r. i “Quite possibly by this time T am addressing your waste basket; but I will set forth for its benefit why I believe that if your suggestions were followed all the evils (if they are evils) of mock-amateur athletics with which the usual college eligi- bility rules ineffectually contend would be considerably intensified in the service schools. Not that any great harm would result since 99 per cent of the peace-time duties of Army and Navy officers are orna- mental anyway, and could be just as well handled by retired foot ball players as by any one else. “Perhaps ‘West Point’ does not prose- lyte. But West Point old grads do; and with remarkable industry, zeal and success. Naval Academy graduates em- ploy equal zeal and industry, but meet with less success, for two reasons: The 20-year age limit puts an awful crimp in their efforts; “2. Whereas Army old grads are scat- tered through the country wherever good foot ball players grow, Navy old grads are either out at sea or on for- eign stations or concentrated at sea- coast points—it being impracticable to locate any navy yards in Kansas, “The trouble seems to be that when you look at a Navy old grad or a Cor- nell old grad or a Princeton old grad, you see—an old grad. But when you look at an Army old grad you see the Richard Harding Davis hero you most admired and envied in your youth. “As a matter of fact, Army and Navy old grads are probably the most pesti- ferous subspecies there is, for the simple reason that they have more leisure in which to go on playing foot ball ail their lives and fewer serfous distractions (like the need of making a fairly honest living) to this delightful pursuit. “One highly important peculiarity of the service schools seems have escaped your attention: namely, the fact that they are (so far as I know) the only institutions of collegiate nature are absolutely dominated, body, bones and boots, by—their old grads. Fingers in the Pie. S¢IN any civilian college the alumni may have too much of a finger in the pie. At West Point and the Naval Academy they own the pie and have the dishing of it. At civilian colleges the alumni tion may interfere with the faculty; at the service schools the faculty is virtually entirely made up of alumni—old 3 ” hermore, the civilian student at Yale or Cornell is quite free to ecriticize the old grads if he feels like it; at the service schools the old grads are his Sufiflflr officers and criticism is in- subordination.

A. U. and tennis as- sociation amateur rules. Just about. The Other Side, “Mm‘D you, Mr. McGeehan (or Mr. McGeehan'’s waste basket), I am not defending my own alma mater. My views on this whole subject and some others allied to it have long made me about as popular among my fellow Navy alumni as a striped smell-kitty at & church sociable. But I find enough humor in the entire situation to con- trol me—except when I wonder why Army hypocrisy is distinguished from Navy hypocrisy and all the other brands of athletic hypocrisy by being alone exempt from exposure by your sardonic pen. “I only wish the true story could be published of the effort to get ‘Red’ Owen of Princeton to become ‘Red’ Owen of West Point; or of how Harry Wilson of Penn State was inspired by a yearning for military glory—for that matter how Steve Barchet of Johns Hopkins was similarly inspired to seek naval glory—just who first suggested the idea, and when and where; what was said to the Congressman who had the necessary appointment to bestow; just how the idea was gently wafted into the mind of the (old grad) ex- amining officer that here was a good man for the backfield if only— “For that, Mr. McGeehan, as you ordinarily know as well as anybody else, | is human nature when it wants some- thing badly enough, no matter what admission rules may stand in the way. And human nature in Army and Navy uniforms is still human nature, even though we did have a romantic belief otherwise in the days when Richard Harding Davis and Stephen Crane bfckoned us to far horizons and to glory.” Scholastic, Collegiate Sports Card Tomorrow Scholastic.

PURDUE AFTER SIXTH BASKET BALL WIN By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, February 22.—Three teams still owning chances to win the West- ern Conference basket ball champion- ship tonight will meet three teams al- ready eliminated from the race, while another pair, Michigan and Indiana, will engage in a battle in which de- feat will mean crushed hopes. Purdue, at the top of the heap and yet to be defeated by a Big Ten team, will meet Minnesota, at Minneapolis, seeking its sixth straight triumph. Wis- consin, in second placs, will tackle Chi- cago, at Chicago. Illinois will entertain Northwestern’s erratic five in the other contest, Michigan-Indiana battle, at Bloomington, promises to be the most bitterly fought of the schedule for the night. The Hooslers were trounced, 45 to 26, by Michigan at Ann Arbor, but with the advantage of their own court are rated at least even with the Wolverines in tonight's contest. Hoyas Sign Red Smith To Coach in Base Ball Richard “Red” Smith has been appointed base ball coach at George- town University. Smith graduated from Notre Dame in 1927. While there he played three years of varsity foot ball as a guard and was se- lected on the mythical All-Western team in 1927. He was a catcher in base ball for three years and captain of the nine in his senior year. Following his graduation he signed with the Giants and was with them for a year. In the season of 1928 he was with Montreal in the Inter- national League and last year with the Boston Braves. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE EARLY three score Washington golfers are at Virginia Beach today, playing over the fine course of the Princess Anne Country Club in informal contests. They left the Capital last night on a golf tour arranged by a steamship com- pany and will return Monday morning. Included in the party are many promi- nent players from most of the local golf clubs. Fairley Clark, the young Southern professional, who finished a shot be- hind Horton Smith yesterday in the first two rounds of the Savannah open champlonship, is a brother of Archie Clark, assistant pro at the Congressional Country Club, and according to Archie, is an unusually fine player. The young Congressional pro, who is a sterling golfer himself, modestly remarked to- day that his brother “usually plays the Savannah course pretty well.” much as par for the course is 74 and Clark’s 36-hole score is 138, we wonder what he would do if he played the lay- out “very” well. ‘This warm weather of the past four days may be a bit of premature Spring, but the golfers of Washington believe it is the real article, judged by the way they have been flocking to the courses. The first tee at any of the local clubs these days looks like it does on a fine May day, and most of the courses have been mmn‘:edr all day long during the warm_ weather. Perhaps the weather man has relented and has decided to give the divot rs a respite from the unusually ‘weather he has dished up during most of the Winter. Roland R. MacKenzie and George P.

Chairman Walter Mitchell of the club golf committee has notified association officials that his club is in the middle of a club house improvement program, and may ask for a postpone- ment of the event. The tourney is scheduled to go to a Virginia club this year, under the association rotation system. The annyal meeting of the Midatlantic association will be held at the Willard Hotel next Saturday night at 8 pm. It will be followed on March 10 by the annual meeting of the District Golf Assoclation. WALKER, ATHLETIC HEAD, GRID TUTOR AT OLE MISS UNIVERSITY, Miss., February 22 (#). —Edward L.

SMITHLIN FRONT Shoots Course Record of 66, Eight Under Par, to Top Savannah Field. BY DILLON L. GRAHAM, Associated Press Sports Writer. AVANNAH, Ga., February 22— Leading the fleld by one stroke at the halfway mark with a bril- liant 137, Horton Smith, blonde young shot maker, prepared today for the final 36 holes play in the $3,000 Savannah open golf tournament. While-a gallery of nearly two thou- sand trailed Bobby Jones, national open champion, yesterday Smith amazed a small crowd by equaling the course record with a 66. He collected nine birdies and an eagle on the round. His second-round score, coupled with an- other par-breaking round of 71 Thurs- day, gave him the leadership. Jones showed a complete reversal of the form displayed in the opening round, when he carded a 67 to top all other entrants. His driving and ap- proach shots were of p! p caliber, but his putting, generally the feature of his play, was poor. He missed nearly a dozen putts of 15 feet or less as he made the round in a 75, one over par. After turning in a dis- astrous 40 for the outward nine, the Atlanta barrister tightened on the in- ward trip and shot a 35. His 75, to- gether with the 67 on the first round, placed him in a tie with Joe Turnesa of New York for fifth place with 142. A hitherto unheralded golfer from Savannah, Fairley Clark, continued his sub-par game yesterday to equal the 69 made Thursday, and complete the sec- ond round in second place, a stroke be- hind the leader with 138. Deadlocked for third place, four strokes behind Smith, were Ed_Dudley of Wilmington, Del, and Emmett French of Southern Pines, N. C., with 141. Four exponents of golf for cash— Johnny Farrell, Jeff * Adams, Mike ‘Turnesa and Bobby Cruickshank, were bracketed at 143. Five well known pros had 144s and were within striking distance of the leader. They were Whiffy Cox of Brooklyn, Wild Bill Mehlhorn of Pensa- cola, Neil McIntyre of Indianapolis, Clem Weichman of Portsmouth, Ohio, and Al Espinosa of Chicago. Horton Smith shot his big round this way: BALTINORE QU VI FOR GANES De Molay, Dixie Pig Teams| Hosts to Marylanders Here Tonight. A Baltimore teams will be xue!tsj in both.

Where are they to be found? Aboard the old Flora Elsie, now on the bottom of Buzzards Point. Such is the popular belief. Hidden treasure has a hold on ‘most folks’ minds that no other subject has and all are willing to invent a story where no basis for one exists. The “Flora” is just another example of this failing, It is the popular belief that “some- thing” of great value exists aboard the old boat and from many sources I have heard this belief expressed. Some are convinced that there are tons of lead and other valuable metals waiting to be salvaged from her and others incline to the idea that there is a considerable sum of money hidden somewhere within her hull. Alas, these are but fancies. Her ballast is of stone and her greatest treasure memories of the days when she was queen of the Chesapeake, racing under her mighty spread of canvas and showing her heels to the best of a great fleet—a fleet, by the way, without equal in the history of the sea, where numbers and wealth of cargo are taken for measure, For the man able to talk her lan- guage, for the man gifted with hind- sight, for the fellow whose imagination is bolstered with bay lore—for him alone a real treasure exists. Picture her footing it up the bay, her great sails filled to the sou'wester, a bone in her teeth and laughing bay folk at her wheel waving a bight of line at the slow steamers of 50 years ago as she leaves them in her smoking wake. “Aye, thar's a picter fer ye,” as Capn Charley would say. ND referring to Cap'n Charley, we mean Cap'n Charley Chesser of the Florence Northam, four times winner of first prize in the bugeye class in the annual workboat races held on the bay. Some critics maintain that it is only three, as in one of these races he won by default, there being no competition. In this particular race, held off Hamp- ton, he had greater competition than any boat or man could offer—a nor'easter that “scairt” the gulls inland and made the hardiest fishing folk haul their craft REASURE! 2—ag | Ashore for better weather.
