A—14 SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1934, SPORTS. -— Foot Ball Scoring Takes Another Drop in Spite of Efforts ic DECLINE IS GREAT INTEAM AVERAGE Only 104.2 Points in 1934 Campaign as Against 139 for 1933. BY FOSTER HAILEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, December 5.—De- spite the rulemaker's efforts to give the customers more touchdowns to cheer, a com- pilation today by the Associated Press | of the season’s records of 154 college foot ball teams shows a continuance in 1934 of the scoring decline which set in four years ago. Each year since 1930 the average team and game score has dropped until this year it is only 1042 points a team and 12.19 a game. In 1930 the figures were 139 and 16. The drop in team totals is in con- trast to the individual scoring in which the head men of 1934—Bill | Shepherd of Western Maryland. Jo Oravec of Willamette, and Paul Mil- ler of South Dakota State—all topped the 108 points Pete Young of Bluefield College made to lead the country’s touchdown artists last Fall. She herd scored 133 points, Oravec 1 and Miller, 116. Leading Teams Fail. p NE explanation for slackened scor- O ing can be found in failure of several leading teams of 1933 to turn out touchdowns with equal ra- pidity this Fall Michigan and Southern California are examples. The Michigan jugger- naut last year scored 131 points. This year the creaking Ann Arbor machine could total only 24. Southern Cali- fornia in 1933 rolled up 244 points against the same class of opponents over which it scored only 120 this year. The rise of several teams from poor geasons in 1933 to top ranking in their sections is shown in the figures. ‘There's Navy with only 80 points last year and 138 this year, Minnesota with 64 and 270, North Carolina, 71 and 125: Ohio State, 161 and Rice, 56 and 204, and Southern Meth- odist, 93 and 217 A few old reliables—Colgate, Cen- tenary, Army, Columbia, Georgia, Louisiana State and Tulane—kept rollin’ along. scoring almost the same number of points this year as last The gold foot balls for consistency go to the Red Raiders of the Chenango. who scored 189 points last vear and 188 this, a record approached only by California with 161 and 163. respec- tively; Army with 227 and 215, and Georgia with 148 and 141.

She will succeed Miss Elizabeth C. Harris in that post. Others slated to take office at the +same time are Miss Susan Hacker, Chevy Chase, first vice president; Mrs. N. J.

Next vear promises to be an un- usually busy one for the fair golfers. With eight major trophies up for an- nual competition, the interclub tcam matches and a flock of lesser affairs, along with a possibility that third team matches may be added to those layed this year. there will be plenty f golf available for the feminine club wielders.

The winner will bear the title of “public links open south- paw champion.” You cannot accuse the Roland Mac- Kenzie lad of not using his bean. In- stead of spending $250 or $300 to go to the Miami-Biltmore tournament he is going to use that money to take a real golf trip in January and February taking in a half dozen or more tourna- ments along the Pacific slope, where he will have a better chance to grab off some bf that easy dough that floats around out in California. Roland has decided to pass up the Biltmore affair, which opens Saturday, and along about January 3 he and his winsome young wife will hop into their buzz-buggy and start for California, where the young | man will play in all the tournaments It will be a | R.MECALLUM | that dot the months of January and February, returning to Florida late in February and stepping back on the job at Congressional about March 1.

Tommy has been chosen to head the organization, with Russell Coltrider of Baltimore having been elected vice president. who works turf wonders at Manor and Congressional, has been re-elected sec- retary-treasurer. Although Joe Lynch of Georgetown is rather secretive about the whole affair, it looks as if Washington has a chance to bag the national inter- collegiate golf championship, which may go to the Congressional Country Club next yvear. Joe is the president of the rah-rah boys' golf association and as such has a good deal to say about where stuttering Charlie Yates of Atlanta will defend his intercol- legiate crown in 1935. But Joe favors Congressional, and there it may go, if club officials say the word. R. P. Hines, !
