BROOKLINE. Ma-.. Sept. 17.-8t-a4incss

Hinsdale club of Chicago the possosilon of

Till rtlnvee vhA irimA tn Vjuin th enn An
' the -shores of Lake Michigan was Warren
Kenneth Wood of the Homewood Golf
, club, Chicago, but being- erratic from the
teea and decidedly weak on the greens, he
succumbed to Fownes by a score of 4 up
and S to play.
It Is perfectly fair to say that Wood
; eat himself. " "After coming through to
the finals after four hard matches, two
of which finished on the thirty-sixth green,
1 it was generally believed that even tt
Fownes did not gain a long load the Chi
cago player would make a game finish.
. Patter Fall to Work.
But rnmehow his putter failed to work.
He tried the aluminum club, but went back
again to the cleek, but his usually long
BlY.flAt altfhl.fnnt m rA frt... -.lla ln,n
the cup ' failed to materialize. All this
time Fownes was lining out long straight
onea and consistently taking two puts to
a green, picking up a hole hers and another
, there until his command of the situation
. was loo strong to be questioned.
Tha thirtieth hole waa a tvDical one.
Fowles drove fair and sura while Wood
sliced a hit Fownes waa over tha green,
but hung on the shelving slope on his
second. Wood also was on tha far side,
but off to the left of the slope. The Chi
cago golfers, playing the odd, overran his
putt, while Fownes waa a trifle short.

Both Fownes and Wood were warmly I
clubhouse on the steps of which President
' Herbert Jaoques of the United State Golf
Fownes as tha beet player of the year, the
etlver medal to Wood as the best player
of tha bunoh from Chicago and one of the
bronze medals to Walter R. Tuckerman of
Stockbrldge aa the only player who had
held up the prestige of Massachusetts
until tha finals.
Charles Evans, Jr., tha winner of tha
other bronze medal, was trying his hand
on tha Myopia Unks today and will receive

LINCOLN. Neb.,, Sept. 17. (Spedal.)-On
the eve of the opening practice for the
Cornhusker foot ball squad of 1910, Coach
"King" Cole and his assistants havs made
known their InterpretaMon of the requlsKes
of the new gams.
The result of this analysis spells a com
plete revolution In ths Cornhusker tactics
since Cole has been at Nebraska. Unless
ths first official step tsken by the eoacli
Is a blind, there Is to be a complete re
versal of the offensive style of play and
for the first time since the days of
"Bummy" Booth, ths light, speedy back
field player may find himself the object
of Cole's sttentlon. This is tu be inter
preted from the call which has been Issued
for lighter plsyers.
During ths Isst few days Manager Earl
O. Eager, who has been In touch with Cola
all summer, started a movement to Intereit
prominent members of the track team In
tha fall practice. He told them that under
the new rules, the lighter faster man had
an advantage over his mors "beefy" rival.
Especially Is this true of the end and back
fleld positions, according to Eager's views..
His eMorts havs not proved futile, for Guy
E. Reed, the champion sprinter at the uni
versity and captain of the track team for
1910, has announced that he will participate
In the preliminary practice. Reed Is. a
wonderful man on short distances, weighs
about 146 pounds, and besides his speed, is
a "heady" athlete.. His foot ball experi
ence is limited, but ho Is an apt student of
the game and should prove a strong con
tender for a backfleld position.
Two, Heavy Mea Lost.
. Other circumstances In addition to tha
adoption of new rules have compelled Cole
to change his tsctlcs. Heretofore Yost's
pupil has relied largely on the bid Une
bucklng style ot play. His backfleld for
the most part has been comprised of play
ers weighing from 1S5 to 190 pounds. Tha
plays were directed against ths line and
rarely ever waa an attempt made to skirt
the ends. , Up until the last moment, the
coaches thought -that the same offensive
play could be used, for It was expected
that Magor and Birkner would be able to
Join the squad. The bubble has bursted,
however, and Eager Is now firmly con
vinced that neither will be In Nebraska
this fall.
Indirectly this Is the moat fortunste loss
that could have taken plane. It will com
pel Cole to change his methods of ad
vancing the ball. In this one department
alone has been Cole's fatal weakness. His
teams have displayed wonderful defensive
powers only to be held to law scoreso by
secondary teams for want of a powerful
scoring machine. While the Cornhuaker's
line during the last three years hss well
earned the name of being the most power
ful of Missouri valley teams, the Inability
of the backfleld to advance the ball off
setting the good work of the forwards..
So it Is no surprise to those who have
followed the- fortunes of Cole as a mentor
that ha would Inaugurate a new style of
play. That he will have an abundance of
material to pick from for the selection ot
his backfleld has already been evidenced.
The freshmen squad last year contained
several men weighing from' 140 to TOO
pounds. . Potter, ths captain of ths fresh
men team, was expected to show varsity
form this fall. Sickness has made his re
turn to the gridiron problematic. McKlb
ben la another one of the freshmen , who
gave promise. Warren, an end on tha
first year team, la one of the .best taoklera
developed for years. His work is csrrylnsj
the ball was of high grade so that he will
be . placed at quarterback for ths first
eleven when Colo Arrives.,.
Will Stake All oa Speed.
Cole will stake everything on speed this
year. Even the line men will be compelled
to adopt ths new style of play and as a
result several shake-ups In the line posi
tions mhy be expected.: There never was
a season at Nebraska when ths veterans
were In more danger of giving away to
lighter,-faster men than this year.
It Is not to be expected that Nebraska's
coach will Ignore the wealth of excellent
heavy line material at his dposaL Ths
forwards of last year's team all weigh from
188 to ISO pounds. James Pterson, a 200-
pound lineman on the freshmen team two
years ago, has written to Edgar that he
would be ready for tha opening of the sea
son. Plerson made a name for himself In
1908 and Edgar aald Saturday that ha would
not be surprised to see him displace one of
the veterans. There Is snother lineman-
who the veterans will have to watch care
fully. Hornberger, who enjoys the unique
distinction of having "brought out" Shonka,
Is a terror on ths defense. He weighs 185
pounds. Hornberger broke up plays -re
peatedly In varsity practice and was the
only man. to successfully handle Shonka.
Affairs are further complicated by the re
turn of "Sid" Collins after a year's sbsencs.
Collins Is a big fellow weighing 1W pounaa.
Captain Temple Back. 4
From laat year's team there Is Captain
Temple, Shonka, Elliott and Walcott.
Temple weighs IDS pounds, Shonka 205, El
liott 196 and Walcott 200. The only gap in
the famous 11ns of l'9 Is due to the with
drawal of Atulstant Coach Harrv T.
Ewtng from school. It will be a royal
struggls between Temple, Walcott Elliott.
Shonka, - Plerson, Hornberger, Collins,
Pierce and Freltag for positions on the line
and the coaches will have to spend many
sleepless nights In choosing between these
men, so evenly matched are they. Then
there is Stunner, weighing nearly 1W
pounda, Curtis, .Hsskell, Chauner. Rath
bon. Lofgro and Hlbben.
With such a squad. It is not remsrkable
that there is a strong underfeelln; l
