GREAT GAME OF GOLF DUE
FOR SOME BIG CHANGES
HR effect of the
edict prohibiting
the use of ribbed
and punched
dubs in cham
pionships of 1914
la causing much
speculation
among golf play
ers. The punched
clubs were used
by virtually very
crack of the
i-ountry, both
amateur and pro
fesslonal, in
champion ship
jousts and it would be idle to say
that no difference would be noted in
the play of those who for several sea
sons have used the slotted irons.
Reverting to the smooth faced irons
will have much the tame effecj on
golf that the abolition of freak de
liveries did in baseball. It will oc
casion a break down in the play of
many stars until such time as they
are able to regain the faculty of im
parting back spin to the ball by nat
ural skill rather than the employment
of mechanics.
Conclusive proof that punched clubs
were a mighty assert in the game
could have been found at Troon, on
the morning preceding the British
open championship, last spring. A no
tice on the club bulletin board in
formed all contestants that nothing
but smooth-faced irons would be per
mitted in the tournament.
Proa with ribbed or punched irons
immediately procured files and set
about smoothing off the faces of their
clubs. Among this group was Johna
thon Henry Taylor—admittedly the
greatest mashle player of the game.
It; was Taylor who brought the
mashle into prominence and developed
the fullest possibilities'' of that club.
But the great .Tage had fallen for
the ribbed irons, realizing that with
these clubs mashie shots would not
drift from their landing places. More
over, In England it had reached the
point where midirons as well as
mashies were being punched to give
a hack-spin and no one knows just
where the craze would have ended.
While Hie punched clubs are assets
.to many players they are liabilities
to others. ,101111 G. Anderson, the
Siwanoy amateur and one of the lead
ing critics in the country, commented
on this when Sarazen and Hagen en
! gaged in the finals of the P. O. A.
championship at Pelhain Manor.
He pointed out that the ribbed
clubs induced the smothering of the
hall and it took the punch out of
Hagen’s game. And Hagen’s game in
general suffered from this cause.
The amateurs, it would seem, will
suffer less from the ban on the
punched irons than the pros. Several
among them, declared at Flossmoor
that they had worked sufficiently with
smooth-faced irons to be able to con
trol the ball. And Ouimet believes
that It can really be controlled better
under certain conditions than with
the prohibited weapon^
The reversion to the old style irons,
the eventual introduction of a lighter
ball, probably will bring golf back to
the style taught a decade ago. Again
It may not. But the style of teeing
the ball high and slugging down on It
n» longer will produce the distance
that the present ball does and other
shots will change In turn.
New conditions, or rather the going
back to old ones, is likely to develop
a crop of stylists along the line of
Jones, Ouimet, Evans, Mac Smith and
others who brought the style of St.
Andrews and Carnoustie with them to
this country. _

BelieVe Kit.
Or Not
AM CALIjWELL, known through
out sportdom ns a major leaguer
when it comes to hunting snipe,
returned a few days ago from the
sand hills. He brought with him a
few snipe< a couple of ducks, a
chicken or two and the darndest story
of the season.
Says he:
Believe it or not, a rancher told me
of a couple of fellows who were shoot
ing on Swan lake and using decoys.
Theee decoys were the usual cedar
blocks, but, Instead of weights cuid
balancers on the bottom of them,
they had a tiny pulley wheel on their
backs. They were strung on a cir
cular wire which ran about six feet
above the blind. When a flock was
sighted, these hunters pressed a but
ton attached to an electric battery
and the decoys flew around the blind
like a train on a track.
It Is believed by Omnhans who
have heard the tale that the hunters
are the same fellows who took a
portable phonograph out with them
and used a duck-call record to quack
in their mallards.
Tad Jones Faces
a Big Handicap
With Yale picked far and wide to
beat Princeton and Harvard, Tad
JoneM faces a handicap of no light
proportion.
He knows what It means to enter a
big game as a top-heavy favorite. It
Is almost Impossible under this han
dicap to instill the needed despera
tion in a team. It Is for this reason
that Oil Dobie, with the most suc
cessful record ever known to any
coach, sheds bitter tears before each
battle and informs his team that only
the most terrific uphill fighting will
stave off annihilation—defeat by 40
or SO points.
Dobie is king of the gridiron psy
chologists In this respect. Even
where the team had expected to win
by three or four touchdowns, he
work* his organization Into a lie lief
that victory' can come only after the
last ounce la given.
Tad Jones knows that Princeton
and Harvard are going to be a lot
better when Yale comes along than
they have shown to date. Yet It Is
no easy task to make the Yale team
believe this In the face of constant
statements that "This is Yale's year."

Another Baseball War Brewing
__r>
By DAVIS J. WAI.Sll
EW YORK, Nov. 7.—Those hardy old irrec
oncilables, Judge Landis and Ban Johnson,
are reaching toward hip again with the idea
of shooting it out for the control of baseball,
according to well-informed sources. The
war, if any, will be started by Johnson, they
say, and finished by Landis, who happens
to nit In the driver'* seat with a contract eo uncompro
miainir ae to (five him absolute power. He will need It.
It Is »ai<l that Judicious efforts are being made by
the Johnson faction to discredit Kamils and his admin
istration at every turn. Indirect propaganda, dealing
only with generalities and lnuendoes. have been used
for this purpose, It Is alleged. The business In question
has been taken by the Knndia element to mean that a
determined effort will soon bo launched against the Judge's control of the
game.

local spokesmen make the state
ment that l.anrils will serve the
seven years of Ills rnntrnrt whether
hnsehnll llhes it or not.
Baseball Is "fixing" for a fight

TOMMY GIBBONS WANTS TO BOX
CARPENT1ER AND THEN JACK
UmOMMT GJUBONR is mighty eager to meet Georges t'arpentier.” said
I Eddie Kane, manager for Gibbons, yesterday. "But Tommy is through
boxing these prominent fellows for nothing. If anybody in the world
will tell me why we should fit into an internationally popular fistic errtbroglio
in order to enable the French boy to line his pockets with the gold of Uncle
Sam and see him rush right home wi’h it, they can enlighten me.
“It is the best match In the world
today, that between Carpentler and
Gibbons. We know It, Tex Rickard
Is keenly alive to the fact and Pes
camps, who arranges details for Car
pentier, in not ignorant of the fact.
Is Carpentler any more popular than
Gibbons? Is he? Well, remember
this: Carpentler was knocked out in
four rounds by the champion and
Gibbons went fifteen rounds wtth
the same tltleholder.
"Not only that in spite of all
mouthfngs to the contrary that the
public has been regaled with since
that time, Just as soon an the fif
teenth round had ended in Shelby
the first words out of Tommy's
mouth as he returned to his corner
were these—“Get that fellow for
twenty rounds with me, Eddie!"
This latter statement came In the
nature of a surprise. On stories that
had flooded the wiren many were led
to the belief that Gibbons could not
have gone another round, or two
more, or three at most. Some have
offered the advice that Pempsey
could have taken the St, Paul boy
any time after the tenth round.
In contradiction of this illy-founded
notion and In justification of the
Gibbons' belief that a twenty-round
journey would better determine the
victor, It scarcely yt necessary to go
back to a rehearsal of the important
details of the bout.
Olympics Making
Ready for Contest
More than 50 fans have already
made preparations to travel to Sioux
City Sunday to root for the Omaha
Olympics when they play their only
out-of-town game of the season. The
contest will be between the Olympics
and the Sioux City post team of the
Disabled Veterans association.
The Disabled veterans fail to show
any disability in their team lineup.
They have gone through the season
so far undefeated and expect to put
Sunday's game away quickly.
Gene Leahy, former Creighton star,
was out of the Olympic lineup last
Sunday. He was incapacitated with
a badly wrenched %nee. The injured
Cgpidift "StauZ/c-j
WaJstt, [
member, however, Is In much better
shape and it is hoped that he will be
back in the lineup against Sioux
City.
The Olympics have gone through a
lot of tough drilling so far this week
in preparation for the game and ex
poet to work out again today.
Denny Ryan is making every effort
to perfect the aerial defense and of
ftnse of the team. Rast Sunday the
aerial game won the contest for the
Omahans and it is expected that In
the coming game it will prove the
best ground gainer.
The team will leave here early
either Sunday morning or late Satur
day night. Should they leave Satur
day they will have an opportunity to
limber up a little before the contest
while if the start is not made unall
Sunday there will be no chance of
any more than a "warming up" be
fore the game .
The trip is to be made in automo
biles according to the present plane.
Ttie Purdue Boilermaker* believe tbee
