IS THK day of the blc putting green noon
to pass? ThlH question In suggested by
the growing feeling among golfers that In
many cases tlie enlarging of greens has
been carried beyond the limits of reason,
extending away from the hole to a distance
that ought re'ally to be sacred to the ap
proaching Iron.
Such a huge affair Is the last at Ann
namls, which stretches away like a small
ocean of green. It has got so In some
catfes that an approach pitch can hardly
miss the green, so extensive Is It, all of
which makes the approach more of a Joke
than It ought to- be.
There Is growing tip In the minds of
some players of considerable Influence In
the world of golf that the putting green
Is not being restricted to Its proper sphere
and function, and that It Is being allowed
to encroach upon a domain not legitimately
Its own namely, the realm of the approach.
Some fear that If the mania for largo
greens Is not checked the two-shot holes
will eventually be resolved into one-shottcrs
a drive and a long putt.
OvcrdoinR a Good Thing
This may be Ironical to a large extent,
but there Is something In IIh suggestlveness
that ought to make the committees of clubs
consider whether there Is not such n thing
as overdoing a good thing. In the original
Intention of golf architects the putt was
the shot at the very close of the game, rep
resenting the play at the hole.
Now the green has been throwing out Its
emerald tentacles and gradually appropri
ating to Itself more and more of the ground
that formerly belonged to the approach
shot, whether with the brasse or Iron from
a great distance or with the maehle from
i short distance. In this way the purposo
and object of tho green are being lost sight
of, and It has assumed n role of Importance
quite out of keeping with the Intention back
of Its creation In the early days of tho
inort. Devcrcaux Kmmet, of Garden City,
the well-known courso architect, sees the
, drift of things and raises his voice In warn
ing against It, as follows:
Bid Greens Too Expensive
"An extravagant Item of the present day
Is the enormous size of the putting greens
that are constructed. In my opinion, there
la too much putting In the game. In a par
tcoro half the strokes are putts. My Idea
lis to have small greens surrounded by un
dulating fair greens, where an Iron or a
maxhlo has to be used In approach putting
from pretty close In.
""I have spent many happy days playing
on arloua Irish and Scotch links that had
greens o this kind. Clubs where you paid
annual dues of one guinea (about 55). The
. Portmarnoch links, for Instance, was of this
inscription prior to 19 10, when I last
t,satf it.
".Most of the greens were not more than

played thrpughout the country during the

up so carHsllftanfl efljclently by the United
States National Lawn Tennis Association
that fromjOuly 1, when the exhibitions
opened In I'tlca, until their closetln Fltts
burgha few weeks ago the goal had been
reached and the $100,000 raised.
During tlie series of matches, which took
In all the prominent cities from Boston to
Kansas City and from Buffalo to Louis
ville, forty-eight star players participated,
twelve women and thirty-six men contrib
uting their services. The regulars In the
matchtw were Miss Molla Bjurstedt, Miss
Mary Browne, Frederick B. Alexander, Har
old A. Throckmorton and John Strachan,
the latter replacing 'William M. Johnston
when the former champion was called to
the colors,
In addition to the regulars these volun
teers rendered valuable assistance and
service: Mrs. George Wiarhtman fMlstf

fcharles II. Garland, N. W. Miles and my-
JEClt.
Miss Browne and Miss Bjurstedt led
the list, each participating In forty-eight
matches. Harold A. Throckmorton leads
the men with forty-six matches, while
.Alexander played In forty-three and Stra-
Ichan forty. In the series of singles
matches played between Miss Browne and
Miss Bjurstedt the little California won-
'der was tho winner, taking, fourteen out of

S'arled, severe, accurate and Interesting.
Fred B. Alexander played the same kind
of tennis that made him famous ten years
, ago. He twice divided sets with Garland,
' defeated Throckmorton and was the prime
factor In the wonderful showing of Throck
morton and himself In the doubles.
It was the careful arrangement of the
matches which made the plan such a won
derful success, for he not only had a keen
conception of the drawing ability of his
t various stars, but he carefully scheduled
the players so that none was overworked,
.with the result "that all the matches brought
out keen, fast tennis.

,l"j uauo Henry, Brown, jjub itarooraon,
fifty feet square ana many were much
smaller, and they were surrounded with
mossy undulating ground which was
smoother and more level on the side from
wh ch ou approached. It Is not only the
making of large putting greens that Is ex
travagant, It Is the constant maintenance of
them."
Offsets Livelier Ball
Another strong argument In favor of
making the greens smaller, which Mr. Km
met does not touch upon, Is the Increased
liveliness of the ball and the greater ease
In getting It up to the pin. In other words,
the game has been mado easier by the
lively rubber-cored ball. A very good way
to offset this "easlfylng" of the game Is to
narrow down the green. Then the approach
shot will be Increased In dlfllculty. doing
away with the present-day "cinch" nature
of the shot.
The huge green Idea Is only another ex
pression of that desire to mako the game
easier which Is manifested in the rubbish
published about enlarging the hole. In put
ting corrugated faces on Iron clubs and In
playing the Schenectady center-shafted put
ten "Anything to get results with the
minimum of tftort and skill" seems to be
the motto most popular In some golfing cir
cles. This evil may be attributed to the sheep
like following of a single Idea. A certain
big and celebrated club adopts a new plan
In architecture of the links : Immediately
other golf course makers and rc-arrangcrs
try to follow In the same line without ex
ercising any individuality. The conse
quence Is a pronounced sameness In devel
opment In which there Is no attempt to
break away from old methods. Against this
Mr. Kmmet also protests In this vigorous
fashion:
Following Stereotype Models
"A careful examination of many golf
courses lately constructed leads mo to think
that some golf links architects lay out
links without nny regard to cost. They
have certain stereotype holes In their minds
and they are likely to mako a hollow and
where there Is a hollow they may make a
hill.
' "There is no question about the character
of tho results, the holes arc all right. You
cannot go wrong with a Itedan hole or an
Alps hole, and If money were easier for
everybody to come by, It would be all right.
As things really are In this American de
mocracy, It seems to me to be ail wrong.
"There Is no sense In it or Justification
for It. except possibly In the case of clubs
largely composed of wealthy men. With an
undulating tract of ground of 150 acres,
with no woods on It and a few rocks, a good
architect should be able to plan a first-class
golf course on it which In normal times
can be built for $30,000, not including the
water system."

SQUAD AT PENN
DWINDLING FAST
Football Candidates Drop
ping Off With Personnel of
Varsity Becoming Settled
ONLY TWO QUARTERBACKS
With tho selection of players for the
varsity positions more or less decided, the
football candidates at the University of
Pennsylvania are becoming fewer and fewer
In number. The average student nt the
University would get very much up in
arms If any one accused tho undergraduates
of lacking In spirit, but the conditions as
they now exist at Franklin Field Epeak
for themselves. The nccusatlon Is not nec
essary. When the gridiron situation was very un
settled, nt the beginning of the season, stu
dents who never before had reported for
football came out for tho team ; but when
Folwell began sifting nnd picking hla regu
lars and men for the vnrslty rnund one by
one, the candidates who seemed doomed
for the scrubs failed to come out for prac
tice. Squad Down to Twenty-five
The greatest numoer of playrrs on the
field at any time yesterday afternoon was
twenty-five. When Folwell first lined up
his teams for signal drill he had Just enough
for two elevens, and then three more play
ers wandered out after 5 o'clock. There
are several players on the sidelines due to
Injuries, but the total number would not
be grenter than thirty. All of whlili means
that at least fifteen students have dropped
football.
Some undergraduates have failed to re
port because they figured they had no
chance for the varsity and. the coveted let
ter. But others have dropped for no ap
parent reason. Folwell Is In great need of
quarterbacks, with Bert Bell out ot the
fight because of tho Injury which he re
ceived In the Georgia Tech game.
There aro only two pilots nt renn now.
One Is Bunnlo I.erch nnd the other Is Xor
man Ootwals. I.erch has the edgo on Got
wals In generalship and experience, but al
though aggressive, Is not the same fighting
.mad player as the former Central High
man.
There Is one student at the University
who probably would be the first-string
quarter had he stayed on the Job con
sistently from the beginning of tho sea
son. Ho has more natural ability to make
good as an open field runner than nny
other man on the Bed and Blue squad, with
the exception of Howard Berry. He has
been coaxed and coaxed by Captain Miller
to keep coming out for the team and In tho
early days of tho practlc'es ho was fairly
consistent In his work, but then he began
mlsBlng days and finally dropped out alto
gether. Reference Is made to Lou Martin,
the sensational basketball player and cap
tain of tho cage team for the coming sea
son. Martin Dropped
Martin has had very little football ex
perience, but his cleverness at eluding play
ers was evidenced on tho basketball floor
and In the few scrimmages In which he took
part on tho gridiron. Heinle Miller placed
utmost confidence In his ability to make
good, but ho got tired coaxing him out for
the practices and finally stopped.
Spirit such as Martin and other candi
dates who have dropped the game have
shown will never develop a winning foot
ball team at tho University. Folwell has
a hard enough task on his hands this year
with a. green team without being further
handicapped by the ladt of material. With
only a few more than two elevens out for
the varsity, It Is harmful to stage scrlm
mageB for fear more candidates will be put
out by Injuries, and now when the Bed nnd
Blue tutor wants a good scrimmage he
must turn to Iaon Jourdet and the freshman
team.
