And Martin's career is being cut
rfiert at a time when the Iironsen type
writer had just started a campaign te
hUir "Fighting Beb" In line for n
Bitch with the title-holder, J. Demp
tif. Martin, despite his long string
l knockouts (mostly against "et
bm," and all that sort of thing), never
iWcd that he was anything ether
tian an ordinary boxer. The chances
ire that Beb never would have been n
world beater.
nut In two rears of professional
competition Martin participated in a
total of ninety-six bouts, and be was
veil paid in each Instance. Bronsen
told the world at large that Martin wan
t coping cbnmpleu that he would
dome through finally and whin the title-
leUer, and Jimmy punched his type
writer in such a way that it was quite
convincing.
A glimpse at Mnrtln's record brings
forth the indelible fnct that he knocked
cut eighty-three of his opponents, and
a let of them in the very first round.
Btlll when put te the test en three dif
ferent occasions Martin failed te live

Eferee's decision In twelve rounds at

However, little setbacks llke theso
two defeats did net bother a man like
Bronsen. He went along pairing Mnr-
na eir witn a lew mere casv things and
continued te Ucitie tlie Iccys of IiIh
trusty trncwritcr. Twe dnvn hpfurn
Martin's unfortunate accident that may
mean Beb's retirement from the ring,
Bronsen get off the following effusion
which, befere another year, probably
would have resulted In adding heavily

OF COLLEGE SPORT
Dr. Richmond Says Measure of
Football Team Is Made
Measure of Institution
MONEY TALKS, HE DECLARES
Xcw Yeric, Dec. "0. Dr. Charles
Alexander Richmond, president of
Union College, in speaking nt the din
ner of the Nntlenul Celleglute Athletic
Association nt the Hetel Aster last
night, said that one of the present
dangers of college athletics is te make
them the main advertising medium of
the college nnd that unfortunately "the
measure of the foetbnll team is mntle
the measure of the college."
He sounded a note of warning against
the practice of preselyting, scouting nnd
Indirect buying and insisted that the
sport la in danger of becoming a com
petition In scouting where money talks
and net n competition in football.
In urging mere sanity nnd n stronger
control of growing evils, Dr. llichmend
said In putt:
"I believe It is fair te say that
many college presidents nre weriylng
ei cr the athletic situation in their re
spective colleges. This does net mean
that they arc opposed te athletics. Quite
the contrary. Ah a matter of fact, we
arc lncllmd te be tee enthusiastic.
The Meral Side
"There is one question which the
colleges and nil who have their best In
terests at heart may well consider, nnd
thnt Is the high cett of football vic
tories. 1 menu net only the cost In
money, but In the surrender of the
higher academic Interests, net te men
tion thu surrender of moral principles.
"I speak of football because It is the
ene distinctively cellege sport and the
ene which arouses the. greatest enthu
siasm. The niore reason, therefore, thnt
we should keep it scrupulously free
from every hint or suspicion of pro pre pro
fcbslenallsai. We cannot say that this
Is se. But a few of the most successful
teams may be fairly described as tech
nically within the law Dut grossly vio vie
latlng the spirit of college sport. The
temptation has been tee btreng.
"Stripped of all Its camouflage the
preposition is simply this: The college
wants money; If we can put together
n winning football team It will help te
get it. The alumni waut the college te
win nnd nre willing te pay te sce It win.
Then fellows what we are all familiar
with the scouting, the persuading, the
preselyting, the Indirect buying; which
is fe common that vc are no longer dis
turbed by It. It becomes then net a
competition in football but a competi
tion In scouting where money talks.
"Te the Innocent mind it la a mat
ter of wonder hew n college of two or
thrue hundred can send n team which
can defeat u university of four or live
thousand without paying a price which
no Institution dedicated te learning has
u right te pay. An editorial recent!
appeared in one of our metropolitan
dailies, entitled "Football as a National
Hpert. Professional baseball Is n nii nii
tlenal Fpert and one which we all enjoy.
It is n commercial enterprise, perfectly
legitimate nnd calling for no defense.
"If foetbnll is te be a national sport
In any such fciise let it be be nnd let
it be put frankly en a professional basis,
as it lb In Great Britain. But that the
publii: shall demand that the colleges
shall turn aside from the purposes for
which they were founded nnd Hhnll make
Lxcesshe sacrlllces of the time nnd ener
gy of their students nnd of their Intel
lectual Interests te prolde a Ueiiinu
holiday for the sport-loving public Is
something which the public has no right
te demand nnd which no self-respecting
college has the right te consent te.
Keep Spert Clean
"The answer we should mnke te the
general public Is this: Yeu nie putting
tee heai.v u strain upon us. leu are
asking of us mnie than ou have the
light te ask and mero than we have a
light te give, mid you are subjecting
the jeung men in our colleges and the
boys in our schools te a temptation
which thev ought net te have te bear
and which' Ib geed neither for them nor
for the college-. Football Im.s n place
and an Important place In school nnu
college life. We must we that It is
kept in its place abeve all, the levers
of the game must ee.f te It that n geed,
clean sport shall net be open te the
suspicion of becoming a &emi-profcs-siennl
buHlnew.
"Success Is the getpel of the hour
nnd a very dangerous gospel It is. But
even honorable man known that mic
ess is often purchased at n price that
leaves a ninn n moral bankrupt. This
happens la football as In everjthliu
else 'in.l te colleges as well ii U men.
Hnme vleterles reflect discredit and nut
eiedlt upon the college that wins them.
IWiire is sometimes brought te bear

lc It is te their eiedlt thnt most of
them have cense enough, ns well as

Play It Safe en Strange
Courses, Guilferd's Advice
Abe Mitchell and Geerge Duncan Accemplislied Won
derful Feats in America Because They Refused te
Take Chances Sheet for flours Instead of Birdies
By JKSSB P. GUILFORD
Amattair Gelf Clinmplen of the' United States
"IlTANY people have marveled ut the
wonderful feats of Abe Mitchell
and Geerge Duncan, the two noted
English professionals, who toured this
country this summer giving exhibition
mntches, and In practically every case
playing the course without having pre
viously gene ever It. Their individual
medal average scores were In the vicin
ity of 72, which for hn average en a
course with which they wcre familiar
would be the result of sterling golf.
The umial golfer finds It very difficult
te play n course for the first time, nnd
I nm often asked what general rule
should be followed which would tend te
keep one's scere down te normal. .The
suggestion which I make, and It Ib ene
which I try te keep In mind when plny
Ing a course for the first time, espe
cially if it is an exhibition match or
tournament, Is te play safe.
In fact, it sometimes impresses me
that if we bear this in mind we play
our best golf en courses which we are
visiting for the first time because we de
net take the chances tha,t wc take en
courses with which we nrc familiar.
There la a certain sameness te all
geed courses.; that is, they have nn ap
proximate number of ynrds, and in order
te make up this distance .the holes are
divided very similarly. On any cham
pionship course, for instnncc, measur
ing between (WOO nnd 0C00 yards, we
find three or four long holes of ever COO
yards and three or four short holes of
200 ynrds or less. The rest of the holes
are from 300 yards te '11)0 yards.
There nre no courses which have
eighteen hard holes, the holes usually
graduate toward severity. There are
some holes en which very ordinary
playing will give the golfer a par, whlle
ethers nre illllkult te the most experi
enced player.
riay for Feurs
NOW In playing a difficult course for
the first time ene should net aim
for birdies, or even par, and especially
Is this true of these holes which arc
extremely hard. Davie Brown, the
former Engllsh'epen champion, of whom
I have spoken in a previous article,
gave me a tip rcvcral ycara age which
I have never forgotten.
"Don't play for birdies," he said.
"Don't play for twos nnd threes. Play
for fours nnd the twos nnd threes will
take care of themselves."
This is undoubtedly the best advice
which I ever received, and whenever I
play ever n course new with which I am
unfamiliar I hear Davie Brown say :
"Play for fours and the twos nnd
threes will take care of themselves.'"
On our home course we take chancea.
We knew every nook nnd corner of It
se well that we try stunts en it. Take
the elbow hole en the course, where n
golfer is well acquainted. What docs
he de?
Let us say that a long drive of 225
or 2."0 yards carry will enable him te
cut across the corner, lcnvlng a short
chip shot te the green. Probably many
tithes nc Jinn made tnc iieic in three by
from the liole. nnd then eitnk his putt.
But there are many times' vhcrelu his
attempt te cut the corner has' landed
him In serious difficulty.
This is all right en his Heme qeurse
and In n match of no importance, but
en a strnnge course, if he desires te
keep his medal score low, or if he Ib
playing nn important match, the correct
piny Is te gn nreund the corner and net
te cut It. In ether words, he should
try for a four by playing safe, nnd if
his second shot Is well judged nnd lands
en thu green he still lias an opportunity
for a three.
Play It Safe.
THEN there Is the brook hole. On his
home course he always plays te get
eyer the brook. It is a long drive, and
very often he does net make it. On
the eourse where the golfer le visiting
la n brook hole very almllnr te the one
nt home, but In this case he should re
member that he is en new territory and
tlie wise thing Is- te piny safe. lie
should net nttempt te carry the brook
en bis drlve. but te get safely in the
fairway en this Hide of the brook.
One Is never sure of the nature of the
traps or of the rough en a utrange
course. Some traps arc very shallow,
se that one can with certainty get out
with one shot, but I have been traps
which are se steep tiiat If n ball falls
well toward the Bide of it it means
at least two strokes te get out, and
sometimes very geed players need even
mere.
Thcse traps, of course, are unfair,
for a player should net be penalized
tee severely, but if you nre net fa
miliar wllh n course you cannot be
sure that the traps are the shallow kind
from which it is a Blmple matter te get
en te the green.
Just the ether day I had nn expe
rience en n strange course where I
played unwisely en my second shot.
When 250 ynrds from the green with
n cress wind blowing I attempted te
make the green en my second shot. My
bnll Instead of finding the green net
tled In a marshy, muddy lie far te the
right of the fairway. After three at
tempts te dig mypclf out I picked up.
Fortunately, I was playing In match
competition, and only the less of the
hole ensued, 1ut had I been plaIng
medal this one hole would have com
pletely ruined my otherwise geed
round.
Profit by Examples
FIRMLY believe that Abe Mitchell
I
dropping his chip shot dead n few feet and Medal Play.
and Gcerce Duncan can attribute
their success In this country ever
strnnge courses te their safe nnd sane
method of procedure. I have watched
them play, and played with them, and
I can say that I never saw them take
chances.
Golfers who enjoy visiting different
courses can well profit by the example
of the better players of the game who
play for par ever strange courses, but
who through their conservntlve efforts
get birdies.

New Yerh, Dec. SO. By withdraw
ing from the American Olympic Asm Asm
elatien nnd declaring war en the Ama
teur Athletic! Union with the adoption
of n resolution favoring the organiza
tion of a new national amateur ath
letic federation, such as Iibb been ad
vocated by Secretary of AVnr AA'ecks,
the National Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation, at its annual contention In the
Hetel Aster, assumed a new and rather
sensational role. It assumed thin role
net without pretest from the Inside.
Seme of the leaders of the asso
ciation, headed by Colonel Palmer T.
Pierce, its president, and Dr. Mc
Curdy, of Springfield, indicated Hint
they were tired of the somewhat passive
and altogether recommendatory ntti ntti
tude taken by the organization slnce its
formation sixteecn years age. They de
clared themselves in favor of taking
held of things plunging into the big
national collegiate and even Interna
tional athletic arena and assuming a
governmental and administrative part.
'The departure from tne purely talk
ing roll te the highly active was reso
nated by Dean McLcnnhan, of Prince
ton; Majer Fred Moere, of Harvard,
and Remeyn Berry, of Cernell. It wns
evident thnt the big colleges intended
te Btnnd by the Intercollegiate Asso
ciation of Amateur Athletes of America,
which has complete control of track and
field pert in the Eu.t, has members all
ever the country and cxerch-es n strong
national nnd international lullueuct.
They felt thnt the association wns
treading en dnngereu.s ground, and,
through Dean McLcnnhan. Indicated
that if the N. C. A. A. did net recede
from its new position the major insti
tutions of the East would withdraw
from the association. This threat, as
sisted by seme powerful arguments from
many et tne delegates, succeeiled In
blocking the adoption of n series of
nniendments te the constitution nnd by
laws. Seme of these changcj would
have transformed the association into a
big national organisatien, with the fully
expressed idea of staging national meets
in various sports nnd controlling na
tional Intercollegiate nthlctlcs in gen
eral. These amendments went exer until
next year.
The scnsntiennl pnrt of the afternoon
session carae rather Iato in tlie delibera
tions. It was brought en by Colonel
Plcrce h report ou the preposition of
staying in the newly formed American
Olympic Association and the idea of
organizing n new athletic federation te
govern American sport in general, and
te represent this country In internn internn
tienal conclave. It will be recollected
that this Idea was proposed by Secre
tary of AVar AA'ecks some time nge nnd
thnt it was taken up nt a congress in
this city In November.
At thnt time the Olympic Association
wns formed, but the federation idea was
passed en te a committee, which, bv
the waj, is composed in the main of
men who nre hostile te the Wicks pro
posal. The federation, no doubt, will
die in committee. But the National
Collegiate Athletic Association appar
ently proposes te take the lead in the
movement for the formation of such a
body.
That football officials are intimidated
by certain colleges and led te ediut their
eyes te Infrnctlens of tlie rules because
of the understanding that the infliction
of penalties would bring about their
being barred from gnmes played by
elevens from thcse institutions wus the
charge made this morning by E. K.
Hall, chairman of the Intercollegiate
Football Rules Committee.
