GOLF THE MOST
POPULAR SPORT
More People Playing It
Than Any Other Game
or Pastime
H CHAHLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR.
The most amazing growth o' popular
ity in the game of golf Is perhaps the
most remarkable thing In sporting his
tory. Theio was a time which .UI of
my renders rememhei when golf was re
garded as an "old man s game' or a
"dude's pastime." Today golf Is cer
tainly every man's game. And this does
not exclude women by any means. I;ven
tho draft upon the man power of the
country has not resulted in an appre
ciable decrease in the number of golf
ers, for the spread of the game to women,
oungsters, and men of mature years,
has more than compensated for the In
roads made by the'war. It is interesting
to speculute on the reasons for golf's
popularity. There are several, of
course. v
Game Mot Fascinating
Hach club In the bag will perform
feats which can be accomplished with
no other. The deeper one gets Into
golf the more fascinating It becomes be
cause each bit of knowledge and skill
opens up new possibilities.
There Is a constantly decreasing num
ber of "golf widows," because the "ex
.Tolf widows" may now ba seen on tho
green with the "ex-golf widowers." The
women must have reasoned that what
was so fascinating to their husbands
surely must have some thrill for them,
and they are right.
The sport statisticians tell us that
more people today play golf In this coun
try than ever before plaed any other
single game In history, and the per
centage is certain to increase constantly
from now on.
Questions-ami Answers
Will ou please tell me what clubs
ou carry, when to use the "spoon," and
name tho clubs with which ou can get
backspln. Also what is a center-shafted
putter?
Answer I carry ten clubs; driver,
brassle, spoon, cleeK. mldlron, jigger,
stoppuin, niblick, mashle and putter, I
use the spoon when I have a very, very
bad lie for my brassle. And also when
It Is necessary to get distance out of
the loiiR grass. I can get a little more,
distance with It than Is possible With
my deck. A thoroughly experienced
plnjer can get backpln with any of the
Iron clubs, but n beginner should use
the club with a corrugated face, usually
called the '"stoppum." A center-shafted
putter is one in which the end of the
shaft enters the head of the club In the
center of the tip surface Instead of at
the end.

TEN ATHLETES
L0STT0PENN
Six Eootball Candidates
Slated to Leave for Offi- '
cers' Camp Monday
WRECKS VARSITY LINE
Tenn sports In general and football In
particular wlTJL receive a severe setback
on Monday when ten athletes and two
managers of sport teams leavo this city
for officers' training camps. Among
those who arc Blated to go are six foot
ball candidates, two soccer players, one
oarsman and one cage player.
ThoHe whose applications have been
accepted follow: Alexander Karmakls,
Dick Supplee. Sylvan Friedman, Dill
Wolfe, Red Kllson and Harold Kamerer,
of the football squad; Hill Beard and
Harry Itobb, soccer players; Harry
Keller, oarsman Herbert Peck, cage
star: O. M. Pollard apd Jack Stlmson,
manager and assistant manager, respec
tively, of the crew, and Karle Van Vllet,
tho editor-in-chief of the Pennsylvanlan.
I.lne lilt Hard
The blow falls heaviest on the foot
ball line. Of the Half-dozen gridiron
men llBtcd, five of them are candidates
for the first defense of the lted and Blue
eleven, and virtually an entire new line
will have to be picked,
Alex Karmakls, one of the football
men listed, Is Buffering from pneumonia
and Is In a very serious condition at
his home. The pneumonia followed an
attack of influenza.
Wolfe and Supplee have been at reg-'
ular varsity berths since the start of
the season, and Karmakls was counted
upon to hold down the center Job.
Coaches Hollenback and Kcogh will have
to lo some tall scouting to find players
to take their places.
Chance for Crawford
Claude Crawford, a jouth from I'ar
kcrsburg, W. Va , probably will be given
a chance In the line. He played with
the Parkersburg High School against
Wlthlngton and Braun, who wprked with
Marietta (Ohio) High. The Marietta
bos vouch for Crawford's ability and
have reconnnended him to the coaches.
Coach Hollenback has been trying out
a new combination for the backfleld and
Is greatly pleased with the work of the
new men. His quartet consists of
Bra'un, quarterback; Plnney and Itlder,
two promising newcomers, halfbacks,
and McNIchol, fullback. These four look
as good as any Penn has had this ycar,
not excluding the backfleld of which
Joe Straus was a vital part.
The annual fall handicap track meet
Is on the card for 3 o'clock this after
noon, and as a side attraction the scrubs
will meet the varsity In a regulation
tilt. The varBlty won last week and

who can bring a lot of prcstlgo to the
league," said Oaffney yesterday. "Well,

that will need to be Ironed out when
baseball comes back after the war. and
I know of no one who Is better suited
