SPORTS AT COLGATE Basketball Quintet Looking Forward Games— conqueror of The Hard Luck of It. Leaving out the ethics of the situa- | tion, it is at least more than unfor- | tunate that America’s three greatest international heroes should have had shadows cast across their amateur canduct. - This may be taken as proof that our amateur laws, justly, are above all | personalities—or persons. Then again | it may be taken that a shining mark ; makes an easier target. In any event, it has all been an un- fortunate turn. This is especially so in the case of McLoughlin and Ouimet. Between them in a defensive war they beat back | Vardon, Ray, Wilding and Brookes— four of the gteatest contenders that the British Empire, or any other empire, ever sent into competition, One put American golf on the in- ternational map; the other put Ameri- can tennis there. This is not sufficient to put either above all rules—or above any Tule. But the hard luck part of it is that ! both entered certain lines, now under. a cloud, while these lines were legal- ized by their associations. to Coming Important Hockey Team Practicing Daily. Hamilton, N. Y, . Jan. 13—Gol- gate’s close victory over the Cornell quintet on the Ithaca court Satur- day evening has aroused great inter- est in the student body. The Maroon protege aré now looking forward eo hard battles ‘with Syracuse, West Point, Rochester, New York univer- sity and Alleghany. Following the Niagara game the team will not meet any aggregation for over a week and of a formidable offense and defense. The interclass schedule of basket- ball has been announced calling for one set of games to be played Jan- uary 25, another on February 8, and a third either February 15 or 20. The present juniors have won the meet the last two years and expect to re- peat. Enthusiasm 1s very effusive over the arrangement of the debate be- tween: Vassar and Colgate. This |is distinctly an innovation in college circles. The date is now uncertain. A list of ten prominent men has been sent to Colgate, from which they can choose three as judges. The hockey seasen, while not yet officially opened, is witnessing daily practices. Manager Buchanan ’17 has arranged’'a good schedule and Captain Hayes ’18 is leading the prac- tice tilts. Spencer, Watkins, H. An- derson, Wasson and Atwood, veter- ans of last year, are back this year. Crovat, a former New York hockey club player has shown the;best form of the freshmen. He gives promise of being a star player. There are seven varsity football mien on the squad, at least four of whom are likely to land regular positions. Overshadowing Rules. It has been maintained by leading tennis and golf solons that the the value of the legislation sought, There is something in this. It has been hard to erase the mental picture of a certain September day, 1913, when Ouimet coolly went to his task of beating the two great Englishmen without help; or to erase the mental photo of a certain.August day, 1914, when McLoughlin took on Brookes and Wilding in turn—and dropped them both. 2 This is merely human nature—the remembrance of such. But, as sug- gested befaore, it has been unfortunate all around.

The meet- ing also sustained the rule under which Francis Ouimet, Paul Tewks- bury and J. H. Sullivan, Jr.,, of the ‘Woodland Golf club were deprived of their amateur standing. A mo- tion for a direct vote on the action of the executive committee in giving :notlce to the disqualified golfers and calling upon the Woodland club to withdraw their names from the han- dicap list of the Massachusetts Golf association was ruled out of order after the vote on the main question i had shown that Ouimet’s friends were ,well in the minority. After a spirited debate lasting long | after midnight the delegates by a vote lof 80 to 12 upheld a report of the executive committee sharply restrict- ing the status of an amateur. The rule as amended and adopted makes ineligible as an amateur the player ‘“engaging.in any business connected | with the game of golf where in one’s usefullness or profits arise because of skill or prominence in the game of golf.” The intrepartation put upon this is that it will class as professionals players engaged “in laying out, con- structing, supervising or giving ad- vice concerning the layout, construc- tion or upkeep of a golf course or any part thereof,” commonly known as “golf architects.” “In making the latter change the committee does not intend to allow comprehensiveness of former ruling number gix."” . The new wording is used simply for the purpose of greater clarity iand to avoid any impression that dis- crimination is intended between em- ployer and employe.” Ruling No. 6 had made ineligible players “accepting or holding any 1 positi as agent or employe that |includes as part of its duties the handling of golf supplies or engag- |ing in any business where in one's usefullness or profits arise because of skill or prominence in the game of golt.” The National amateur champion- ship tolirnament for 1917 was award- ed to the Oakmont County club, Pittsburgh, Pa.
