THE EVENIN \GTON, D. C., THURSDAY, JANU SPAORES, Jinx Holes Whipped by Columbia Pair : Wisconsin Propbéed Code Packs Punch BIRDIES FLOCKED | BY ASHER. MLEOD | | Club President and Pro Per-| form Rare Feat Halving ‘ First and Second. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HOSE first two holes at Co- | lumbia have caused a lot of grief for all kinds of golfers, in and out of championships, but there are two| Columbia players who have them | thoroughly whipped and have just | put the finishing touches on the knockout by playing better than par. Birdies on the second hole at Columbia are not | unusual, but birdies on both the| first and second are not donel every day. And when two players, in a two-ball match, halve the first hole in bird 3s and then come along to the second hole and halve that hole in 3s, they have done something that is very seldom seen on any golf course, par- | ticulaly one that is rated as a cham-‘ plonship layout. Clyde B. Asher, Columbia's president, ‘ and Fred McLeod, the Columbia pro, have been playing a good deal of golf | together this Winter and, with McLeod handicapping Asher, they have had some hot battles. The hottest of them all started a day or so ago, when | they halved the first and second holes | in consecutive birdie 3s. And what a | kick they got out of the stunt! At the | first hole McLeod laid & pitch shot | within 6 feet of the cup, only to have | Asher halve the hole by canning a 15-footer. A his mashie niblick second within 2 | feet of the cup and then F‘reddle» retaliated by holing a 20-foot putt for | the half in 3. In that round the little | Columbie mentor, who is back on his _game after a period of medioerity, played the course in 70, the fourth score at that figure he has had within the space of 10 days. Although the seventeenth is played from a short tee and the green can be reached in one shot, McLeod claims the hole is just as hard for him as the regular seven- teenth played from the back tee, so the short tee does not reduce the par of the course, which is just 70 whacks. But Columbia is not alone in the matter of getting consecutive birdies. “Chuck” Haley demonstrated the other day at Washington that birdies can be done on two straight holes without hit- ting a good tee shot at either hole. At the sixteenth he sliced his tee shot and took a brassie for his second on this normal drive-and-pitch hole, sinking a 20-foot putt for a bird 3. Then at the | seventeenth he half topped his tee shot, neatly placed his second shot in the trap at the left of the green and then proceeded to “hat trick” his next shot into the hole for his second consecutive birdie. Haley is & southpaw, too, which again makes character for the claim that all southpaws are funny that way. You mever can tell what a southpaw will do. | T the wcond hole Asher laid his | HE Cascades course at Hot Springs, Va, gets the intercollegiate golf championship this year, an event that will” bring together all the best collegiate golfers in the country and will attract the best players at George~ town University, the school which has the leading oollegiate team around Washington. The tourney will be played during the week of June 27, and the starters from Georgetown Univer- sity, according to present plans, prob- ably will include Lou Pisher, the long- hitting son of one of the automobile body magnates from Detroit, d Jack Lynch, another Georgetown youngster who has the making of a star player. ‘The men's Old Dominion champion~ ship, now held by Billy Howell, will be * played on April 25, 26 and 27. This | . event last year saw Billy Howell ‘Ln\ from T. Phillips Perkins, former British | amateur champion, last’ year. George T. Dunlap of Princeton, the present_intercollegiate title holder, will . mot defend his title this year because + of graduation. AST POTOMAC PARK boasts of the two finest putters in the city of Washington, according to Al Farr, manager of the course and observer ex- traordinary of golf events on the publid links. The two are Mel Shorey, pro- fessional at East Potomac Park, and Ear]l Jamison. Shorey’s abilities on the utting green are well and favorably nown to lots of folks, ineluding Al Houghton, A. B. Thorn, Walter W. Cunningham et al, but Jamison is & pew candidate for putting honors. Jamison is a southpaw, who puts the first finger of his left hand down the shaft, as did Walter J. Travis with the first finger of his right hand, and he has the annoying habit of knocking the ball into the hole from anywhere on the green. Five and six foot putts are easy for this putting genius, Farr claims, and it is a rare round of 18 holes that does not see at least a cou- Pple of 25 footers go into the hole. But did you ever watch Miller Ste- vinson putt, Al? a man wh virtues, opinion match on the putting green alone, and his normal average per round i less than 32 putts.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS, | HICAGO, January 21.—The | University of Wlsconsin‘ Faculty Committee’s sug- gestions for the revision of hntercallogxate athlet\cs is quite ‘the most drastic proposal ever undertaken by a member of the o | Western Conference. And if ‘adnpted by the Badger University |may have a far- reaching effect | upon the future of the Big Ten. The seven recommendations made by \Lhe committee would, if accepted, al- most completely wipe out any tinge of | professionalism from athletics at Wis- | consin. Most of the proposals deal | with the curtailment of the modern | | scheme of conducting foot ball—the game which in reality brought about the upheaval at Madison. | Most pertinent in the list of pro- | posals is the recommendation that the | ‘Coflchlng staff should be reduced in | personnel and that the coaches’ sal- | aries should be reduced to faculty level. Furthermore that after a three-year | trial the head coach in sports be given | | a faculty ranking and his position be | made permanent. HAT, of course, is quite out of keep- | ing with the modern ideas on foot | ball where in most instances a coach’s position is dependent largely | | upon his ability to produce winning | | teams. In fact, Wisconsin’s own dm-‘ | culties are based largely upon the fail- | ure of Glenn Thistlethwaite to develop a winning eleven for the Badgers. The committee also favors the iz i abolishment of directive coaching dur- ing foot ball games, & step which nu- merous reformers have suggested, but which few schools have had the temer- | ity to attempt. The plan to eliminate out-of-season practice in foot ball and | basket ball, except for freshmen, is a move that has long been favored by several Western Conference schools, but which never was acceptable to the majority. These moves would lessen the importance of a foot ball coach Wisconsin also demands & new and | less artificial definition of what con- | stitutes amateurism in the Western Conference. The status of numerous | foot ball players in the Big Ten has been openly questioned during the last several years and there have been ru- mors of blow-ups about to occur in sev- eral of its members. But aside from the disciplining of Iowa, the Big Ten never Mas found it necessary or advis- | able to make any public chastisement of any member. Txr: wallop of the recommendations made by the Wisconsin committee | is contained in the declaration that “if these proposals are adopted by | the faculty as & whole on February 8, they be submitted to the Western Con- ference, and if the Western Conference fails to agree to the reforms that Wis- | consin withdraw from the Big Ten.” The only withdrawal from the West- ern Conference since its organization | in 1895 was that of Michigan, which refused to agree to the abolishment of the training table, more than 20 years ago. So Wisconsin’s declaration be- comes quite the most important occur- rence within the Big Ten in many | years. Wisconsin long has been one of the most progressive universities in the Western Conference, but the drastic recommendations of the Faculty Com- mittee have taken the Big Ten by sur- prise and even should they not be adopted by the university or the con- ference they may at least lead to a gen- eral curtailment of certain activities | that have become prevalent the last few | years.
