Harry orton and Edward Ray won thetr last ¢éxhibition match in America yesterday at the Tuxedo Golf Club, when they beat George Fotheringham, Richmond County, and John Golden, Professional of the home organization, 3 up and 1 to piny at 36 holes. Vardon was low tn score in the morn- Ing with 69, equalling the revised par of the course, while Ray was unfor- tunate enough to take 8. In the after- noon Vardon got a 71, thanks tg 4 re- | markable 33 on the last half against par 33 Fotheringham and Golden being tied at 72 and Ray requiring 73. Ray won the 36 holes prize, also that for’ 18 holes, and there were also re- Nai for the birdie holes, done a troke beJow par. | The eagle of the day, two strokes below the allowance, was made by Ray in the morning on the sixth, where after hooking into a bunker he escaped with wood and holed out, a remarkable) performance. } He won the seventh in par 3, which! put the Biltons 1 up, as Golden had taken the first hole in'a perfect 4. Par 4n by the domestic pair on the nint’| left the contest square at the turn. Ra won the tenth, eleventh and twelft for his side, the last two named in bir- dies, but a birdie 3 for Fotheringham at the ‘elghteenth left the visitors 2 up for luncheon. ‘On the second round Vardon and Ray Jointly took the nineteenth and Ray the twentleth, the next four holes being halved. Golden won the twenty-fifth with a 2, Fotheringham the twenty- sixth with a par 4, and Golden the next in 3, his second birdie in three holes, Accordingly the Britons turned home 1 up. Ray was # to par 4 on the twenty- eighth, Vardon 3 to par 4 on the thir- tieth, ‘and repeated gthe trick at the thirty-fire:. Par 4s, Moweve gave the home pair the thirty-second, and Foths eringham scooped a 2 to par 3 on the thirty-fourth, 3 to par 4 for Vardon ended the match on the next, the bye hole being played for the score. ‘The fame of Norman E.

EBRASKA UNIVERSITY, In the heart of the corn belt, and Rutgers, the second largest col- lege in New Jersey, will clash on the gridiron to-morrow afternoon at the Polo Grounds, It will be another East and West demonstration of how football should be played. These in- tersectional games are al: inter- esting. They breed giants out on the plains, and Western players are usually bigger than their Bastern op- ponents; but this sector of the coun- try possesses superior coaches, and the intersectional series gives the East a commanding lead. Both Nobraska and Rutgers havo experienced tough going this season, especially Rutgers. Because of an exacting faculty the New Brunswick Institution lost many of its regular players to other colleges. Frank Kelly at Yale and French and Storck at West Point were only a few the Jer- sey faculty threw for a scholastic loss, What promised to be a fine Rutge team was literally wrecked from the inside. Foster Sanford, however, started to assemble a new machine. ' He had to summon inexperienced men. Rutgers lost most of its early games, There was a new Maroon line-up every week, with a long hospital list and new players being tried out. Last week Coach Sanford hit on what he belleved to be the correct combina: tion, and Rutgers gave the big Cor- nell teamn a stubborn session. The showing was mych better than Col- gate's the previous Saturday. Uuless Rutgers was seriously weak- ened in its clash with Cornell, the Jerseymen wil! face Nebraska with a stPong defeniive team, Sanford's teams are fcatured by stonewall de- fense. What Rutgers will do on the attacking side depends on what strength Nebraska will offer, Henry Schultz, coach for Nebraske, has had his share of trouples, The cornhuckers’ squad has been a bin ope, but the injuries have somewhat retarded the team's development. Like Rutgers, the Westerners know what it means to come out second best. Nebraska will qutwelgh Rutgers con- siderably, but the deciding factor in these days of scientific football In how much does a team know and how well can it carry this knowledge in the thick of a hard-fought battle, ‘The Nebraska squad is due to ar- rive early to-day and will trot through a signal practice this after- noon on the Polo Grounds, The game to-morrow will start at 2 o'cltk. Harvard and Yale did about what was expected Saturday. Substitute teams were use at both places. Foster Sanford, whose Rutgers team was defeated by Virginia, told the writer he didn't think Harvard would roll up a large score against the Southerners, whose line play is un- usually effective. Yet Harvard had Mttle trouble scoring 24 points, al- though the Crimson subs were out- Played in two periods. Whatever may be the faults of Harvard, rugged of- fensive strength \s certainly not one of them this season. Only one Yale regular—Fido Kemp- ton—went in against Colgate, and the game was valuable to Tad Jones in that tt gave him a line on many of his second-string men—players who may s'tp Into the blg games in case the regulars are injured. There are two sides to look at In) Princeton's 10 to 3 victory over West Virginia, Numerous rabid Nassau rooters would have enjoyed seeing the Tigers surpass Yale's 24 to 0 win over the Southerners the week previous. 2 . Nebraska Clashes With | Rutgers Team To-Morrow In East vs. West Battle LeerneD une 4 BATTLE, Bot rr WAS ONLY Vacre SHOWING GEoRGe THE: T1™ GAVE Jack A Lot oF AMUSEMENT, This would have made Princeton loom up a little stronger on a com- parative basis before the Yule game, but comparative scores these days have little value. What did happen at Princeton, however, was the execution of a well planned game, one that would re- quire no unnecessary risks. On the eve of the annual battle with Har- vard \t would have been folly to at- tempt a big score against West Vir- sina and run the chance of losing several regulars, In the writer's opin- jon Bil Roper bas equipped the Tigerg with a powerful offense. Thid has been ashed only in spots, once particularly when Princeton in just four plays ‘gained seventy-five yards and a touchdown against the Middle: If anything, Princeton has been a trifie backward this season on the de- fense. Frequent changes have been made in the line, which has steadily shown an inclination to be fooled when the opposition has the ball. The Tigers hoped for a thorough defen- sive test with West Virginia, and they {got just what they“were looking for. Princeton's stock may take an- other jump with the expected an- nouncement that “Pink” Baker, the giant tow-headed guard who played | so well last year, will be declared eli- jgible in time for the Harvard game | Baker has not played on the varsity this season_ because of class room conditions, but every afternoon he's | been out In uniform taking his place on the scrub. Baker's return would materially strengthen the right side of, the Orange and Black line. Holy Cross punctured all claims Syracuse had for Eastern honors. Holy Cross's 3 to 0 defeat of the bie Orange team was the biggest upset Saturday. ‘The up-State team lost some playing talent this season, but the greatest blow was the departure of Buck O'Neill for Columbia, Holy Cross, however, will make things lvely for any eleven in the country. In its first game Holy Cross held field. , Centre College pointed Its develop- ment for the Harvard contest. The Kentuckians were eager to show the East thelr 1919 record wasn't a fluke ‘That the tilt with the heavy Crimson |¢ team was a costly assignment was evident Saturday when Centre, weak- ened physically and in spirits, lost to Georgia Tech 24 to 0. The slump, following the defeat by Harvard, was so marked that even the wonderful champions, or near champions, have Announcement of Big Fight De- tails To-Morrow May Drop Cuba as Battleground. OOD afternoon. Have you ar- ranged for your passports to Cuba to see the Dempsey-Carpentier battle? Are you going on the Morro Castle or the City of Mexico, or ®y train to Key West and then ‘across by boat? Hadn't thought about that, you say? Well you had better If you are thinking of seeing the big fight. But considering the matter a second time, perhaps it would be better to walt until to-morrow before doing any planning, “The details” of the fight are to be announced then, and it is possible the Cubar’ trip won't be npc- essary at all. Why, with every ar- rangement said to be complete last Thursday, the arficles of agreement are still unsigned isn't explained by the promoters, but maybe the delay mysterious ag it seems to be, will turn out all for the best. With the election out of the way, and Al Smith or Judge Miller elected Governor, the promoters prob- ably will see their way clear toward making an announcement with soine degree of finality. And this announce- ment may amount to the dropping of * Cuba as the scene of the battle Promoters such as Tex Rickard, Willam A. Brady and Charles Cochrane, in combination, are too ex- perienced to set thelr fireworks off tuo early. And, besides, the public can wait. UBA 1s @ most wonderful place for a championship fight or anything else, but for boxing fans it's a long way to go just to see what may prove to be only a few rounds of fighting. For racegoers it is different. There are one hundred days of good racing there to attract their attention and keep them there. When you come to think of It, how many do you know who have the time and money to spend on such a trip? A very few. There was no record- breaking crowd at the Johnson- Willard fight. Indeed, it was what the promoters call a “frost.” It dido’t even pay expenses. IOWEVER, maybe we are becom- ing alarmed tn advance. he fight may be decided nearer home; yes, right here In New York. Such a contest is well within the provisions of the Walker bill, the passage of which permits the weekly Jamming of Madison Square Garden at fifteen- round bouts to a decision, 60 why should any other place be consid- ered as a battleground, Nowhere in the entire country could a bigger crowd be brought to the ringside, and the tax accruing from the receipts would certainly enrich the State's treasury by a worth while amount, There 1s no reason for “pussyfoot- ing” on the proposition of a big fight right here on Manhattan Island.
