general Rejoicing at Pittsburgh
Over News; Varsity Squad
Works Like Demon
Pittsburgh. Oct. C6.—Tho athletic
tommittee of the University of Pitts
burgh came together yesterday and
mapped out a plan whereby the proper
Impetus needed to bring out tho full
spirit of the football team will be sup
plied. Therefore comes the announce
ment that It has fixed up an agreement
with Coach Glenn Warner whereby his
three-year contract ending next year,
will b9 obliterated and a new one
adopted that means his retention as
coach of the Pitt football squad dur
ing the seasons of 1917, 191S, 1319 and
1920.
Thus falls dead the hopes of numer
ous colleges who were looking to the
end of the 1917 season, so that they
might coax the old Cornell und Car
lisle instructor away from olc* Pitt, and
local football Is assured of at least six
years in the hands of one of the hest
coaches ever produced.
The whole community Is rejoicing to
night, for it Is felt that with Warner
at the helm there is nothing to stop
the Blue and Gold from being hailed
the undisputed champions, if not this
year, at least by the time another sea-
Bon rolls around. The team was pre
paring for Its regular stunts at Korbes
Field when the news was received, and
the very effect that the athletic com
mittee anticipated was noted. They
went on to the gridiron and for an
fiour surged back and forth in a perfect
rhythm of football prose and poetry
that made the old veteran smile, al
though he didn't spoil any of them
>rith fulsome praise.
AMATHXR RULES READY
New York. Oct. 26.—The recodi

REMARKABLE GOLF
BY LONDON STARS
With One Leg Players Give
Record Match Exhibition in
Benefit Contest
l-ondon, Oct. 2T.—A remarkable ex
hibition of golf, under extreme handi
cap, was recently shown at the Sun
drldge Park course during a foursome
In which the leading English profes
sionals were the contestants. Previous
to tho match in which Edward Roy
and James Braid were opposed by Harry
Vardon and J. H. Taylor. In play for
the benefit of the Kitchener Na
tional Memorial Fund, Ernest Jones,
balancing himself on one leg. repeated
ly drove the ball for distances well over
200 yards.
Jones, who was the professional of
the Chisleliurst Club, had recently re
' turned from the firing line where he had
lost his right leg at the knee. It was
generally assumed that his golfing days
were over. Immediately he was out
of tho hospital, however, Jones was
back on the links.
Drives Uall Straight
In the khaki uniform of a lance cor
poral and on crutches he mad his way
to the tee from which Vardon and the
| others were later to drive and gave one
of the most remarkable exhibitions the
golfing world has ever seen. Balancing
on his left leg. Jones drove his first ball
straight as the flight of an arrow 235
yards down the course. Not one ball,
but a dozen, all flying as far and ns
true as the first. And never once did
he lose his balance. All the rhythm
and timing of the perfect professional
swing were there, and many amazed
golfers discovered that "form" is really
the thing after all. whether you are
standing on two- legs or one.
Jones naively remarked that he hop
ed to do much better after he gets an
artificial leg fitted. So far he has only
been able to make a 69 on his home
course.
The spectators also witnessed some
wonderful play in the foursome which
followed. The match demonstrated
that whatever may be its other vicissi
tudes war has not taken a single ounce
from the tremendous driving smash of
Ray, nor has It dulled in the slightest
degree the keen edge of Vardon's won
derful machine-like play.
Fought Wonderful Match
These two masters of golf fought out
a wonderful match. Vardon made a
68, ten strokes under the standard for
the course, but Hay was a miracle man
that afternoon. The witchery of his
niblick play finally set at naught the
wizardry of Vardon's woods and irons,
and he rounded out the eighteen holes
with a 66. Balrd and Taylor were more
or less eclipsed and it is no ordinary
golfing contest when players of their
type can be all but forgotten.
The foursome had not moved beyond
the third hole when the big gallery,
which included a host of Americans,
began to realize that what they really
were to see was a duel between Ray
and Vardon. Tet Braid and Taylor were
playing magnificent golf all the way
through. Taylor was a trifle handi
capped by a sore hand and had most of
the bad luck in the match. Braid did
some remarkable putting. He was con
stantly down in three or four, but Var
don or Ray were always on hand to
halve the hole and share the honors.
Once Balrd sank a 30-foot put for a
two, but Ray with an air of supreme
carelessness ran one down from fifteen
feet away and took a similar score!
The driving was always wonderful.
Taylor and Baird were seldom more
than a couple of yards apart. Vardon
generally was ten yards in advance of
these two. but Ray, a little off in di
rection, always had from ten to twen-
Ity yards the best of the cannonading
i from the tee. It was a foursome In
which it took a 3 to win and often
times a two. Ray made a 3 on a 454-
■ yard hole after driving well into the
| rough.

Stanford Students Still
at War Over Football Game
Stanford University, Cal., Oct. 26.
Stanford students who continue to be
divided on the question of whether the
University shall give up Rugby football
and return to th American game,
discussed with Interest to-day a state
ment made by President Ray Lyman
Wilbur, that if the issue continued to
split the student body he would put It
up to the academic council for dis
posal.
"American football Is the greatest
menace to intercollegiate athletics,"
said President Wilbur after hearing
an appeal from a delegation of stu
dents for the restoration of the old
game. "It is a coach's game," he as
serted, "and the by-products that go
with him—professionalism, anything
for victory—secret practice—make the
sport a power lor harm."

Rensselaer Poly' Squad
Up With the Milkman!
Troy, N. Y.. Oct. 26.—With Hamilton's
scalp hanging at their belt the Itenssel
aer Poly" eleven looked forward to a
light workout to-day.
Coach liecd had other plans, however,
and routed the squad out with the milk
men! Six o'clock saw the Cherry and
White aggregation on the field, in sig
nal work and a light scrimmage, the
next results being so satisfactory that
early morning practice will become the
routine.
Th workout In the evening will be
retained, and the training time has con
sequently been doubled.
The team is being pointed for the
game with Union, November 4th, as
little trouble is contemplated with Mid
dlebury's squad in the game booked
with that college for this Saturday.
O'Hara, who captured last year's
squad, and who injured his shoulder in
practice last week, is expected to make
an appearance on the field this week.

It Is claimed that some of the sol
diers have thrown a grenade 253 feet,
but this Is challenged by the sporting
experts on the ground that the throw
was not made before a regular organi
zation and was a free-arm throw. Ac
cording to the regulations, a grenade
cannot be thrown straight from the
shoulder, like a baseball, but is given
a swinging overhand throw, much as a
cricket ball Is bowled.
CAPTAIN CLARK OX TIUP
Captain Harold Clark, of the Penn
State varsity football squad, may not
play in Saturday's game. He Is on an
Inspection trip with the Industrial class
and is now in New Tork. These trips
are an important part of the duties
of Penn State students and sometimes
interfere with an athlete getting Into
some games.
