The play of the purple and white team, while far from being what Coach Dewey would like, was smoother than the week before. J One disappointing feature of thai Commerce squad's work was the loose defensive play that was put up. The Bookkeepers seemed to wait for the play to come to them rather than to dive in to break it up. Columbia's first score came one minute after the whistle blew for tl start of the game, when Jlc( lusKy raced around left end for a 50-yard run. placing the ball between the goal posts. McClusky added another point by kicking goal.

Bluebeard' McNeil went over for the touchdown on an offtackle play. Mc f'lusky kicked goal. The work of Captain Lake at left end for Columbia featured the second period. His hard tackling time and agairr threw the Commerce backs for losses. The half ended with the ball in Commerce's possession on their 40-yard line. At the beginning of the second half Commerce came to life and held Co lumbia scoreless for the third period. In the last period the Columbia team started their driving attack that j had marked their playing in the first half. Two touchdowns came as the result of the prep school attack.

Coach Hnt Cnable to Announce Firs Team I.lneup; Firt Game Scheduled. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON". Oct. 10. (Special.) The past week's performance on the gridiron at the Vniversity of Washington has left Coach "Jump" Hunt in a highly des pondent and gloomy mood, due to the Injury of three of his star performers and the sluggishness of his line. Paul Wood, who has been fighting It out with Sandy Wick for center, will be out of the game the rest of the season with a fractured wrist and Chuck Logg. one of the scrappy line men. Is laid up with a pair of bad knees. Ross Williams, the heady quarter who made his letter , under Hunt In 1917 and who Is considered as the strongest man out for that position this year, has been out of the game for a few days with blood poi son In his foot. In addition to being a clever field general he has uncanny skill with his boot when it comes to sending the drop kicks between the bars. Hunt bas been driving his men hard for the past week and the practice has narrowed down to a survival of the fittest. He has been plugging away shifting the men from one place to another in an effort to put the right man in the right place. The line Is shrouded with mystery and not even the most radical have dared to dope out a true lineup. With veterans of Dobie's teams of 1915 and 'It. and of Hunt's eleven of 1917, out for their old positions, together with a flock of ex-varsity frosh players and a few stars from the various service teams it can be seen that Hsmt Is having his troubles and to date he i , no Keen M. Is -ive a n v tlma f n individual rnsrhlnr. Althrjueh that line material is heavy and experienced it looks ragged and only In spurts does It show the old fight that is ao vital to a winner. The coach broke his long silence this week when he made the follow ing statement: "I can't say anything yet concerning the first squad. I simply don't know, that's alL I may not pick a regular first team because I have about 20 to 25 men of first string caliber who are playing about the same brand of ball." Four coaches are assisting Hunt to get a varsity whipped into shape. They are: Stub Allison from Carleton. "Chuck" Mortarity from Gonzaga and ex-all-American second team tackle. Don Able, an old Dobieite and Heck Kdmundsend from Idaho. All of the coaches are on their toes and absolu tely no loafing Is being tolerated. The actual appearance on the field of Ueorge Smith has caused the uni versity stock to Jump a few points for this old veteran of the Doble days will fill a big gap in the purple and gold line. With Smith and Faulk to handle the flanks it should prove hard for any of Washington a op ponents to make much yardage around her ends. The public will ret their first glimpse of the 1319 aggregation in ac tion on October IS when the varsity locks horn with a service team rep resenting the u. S. S. Texas. The chief Indoor sports among the showerroom hangers on these days is that or trying to dope out a possible lineup for the opening and although nothing definite can be figured on the majority of the wiseheads agree that it will read something like this: Left end. Faulk: left tackle, lirlmm; left guard. Blake; center. Wick; right guard. Pope: right tackle, Clark right end. Smith, quarterback. Will iams or Able; halfbacks. Butler. Dave Logg and Townsend; fullback. Crura, Daly. The dope Is also to the effect that Thiesen and Gilhuly may get a crack at ends and Tidball at a tackle and Bardeson at a guard while Smith per haps will get a trial at center.

PROTEST 'ROUSES ANGER Action of Tiger's Head in Objecting to Mays Use In Games Causes Sharp Tiff. NEW YORK. Oct. 10. A reply". to the protest of President Navih of the Detroit American league baseball team to the national commission against allowing the games in which Pitcher Carl Mays was used after the suspen sion by President Johnson of the league, was issued tonight by Presi dent Ruppert of the New York flub. citing tne injunction proceedings in which the Detroit club was restrained, as well as President Johnson, from Interfering with the playing of Mays and of acting otherwise than -in ac cordance with the established schedule of games, including those with New lork, Colonel Ruppert says: Is Navla Bim Sport f "Detroit was willing to accept the protection which the court order threw about its established schedule until it found itself displaced from third place and participation in the division of the world's series receipts and then in a spirit which it is dif ficult to reconcile with good sports manship, it has made a cry of protest not to the court that issued the order, but to the commission. "The Detroit club now seeks, after the established schedule has been played through, to destroy that schedule and to refuse to have the New York club officially credited with games played in accordance therewith. The New York club holds that the commission has no au thority to entertain or act on the protest and that to do so would be In violation of the order of injunction, contrary to law and to the rights of the New York club. Rappert Lands Again. Calling attention to the fact that "the action of Mr. Johnson in purport. ing to suspend Mays was formally Prescinded by the board of directors of the league." Colonel Ruppert adds: "This protest from Mr. Navln veri fies my opinion of the gentleman's sporting caliber and It is my belief, based upon his well-known timorous- ness. that without a suggestion of support from the self-constituted powers in baseball, he would not have had the temerity to champion his un tenable position so boldly." .

(Special.) Within a period of ten minutes following the whistle which started the annual sophomore-freshman bag rush on Sweetland field yesterday, the rooks had four of the seven sawdust bags over the goal-line, and thereby gained the right to place -their class numerals on the roof of the grajidstand. Al though the second-year men had the benefits of a former tussle of this kind to favor them, the frosh had several pounds advantage in weight and showed some real fight. After a minute's fighting, Rickli staggered over the line with the first sack for the sophs, while a few sec-, onds later Ryan registered a .tally for the rooks. " Other men who suc ceeded in carrying bags over the goal-line were: Johnson, Skeen and Zeller, frosh, and Marstars, soph. This makes the third consecutive victory for freshmen classes. The line-ups were as follows: Sophomores, Ben Rickli, "Chub" Sackett, George Lewis, Ed Huston Jack Lucker, Vic Collins, Bayard Findley, "Gug" Harra, Dewey Probst, Lyman Marstars, Albert Warren and "Jeter" Gillette. Freshmen, Rodney Alden, Hugh Walker, Roy Skeen. Earl Johnson Dave Ellis, Harold Hull, Albert Ryan, B. Lockhart, Vernol Zeller, Ed War ren, Ed Notson, Newell Stone. Duniway Park Squad Wants Game.

TED FAULK HAS COME BACK University of Washington Player Held "Good as New." UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Seattle, Oct. 10. (Special.) Ted Faulk, one of the biggest and best ends who ever went down on a punt for the University of Washington, has proved .that a man can come back as far as football is concerned. Faulk is one of the veteran Dobie players who has returned to the uni versity, having played left end for two years under the tutelage of that famous old Washington mentor, and he is showing the younger genera tion of collegians who are trying out for a wing position on Coach "Jump" Hunt's aggregation that one Ted Faulk is still the high and mighty man when it comes to playing an end as an end should be played. Ted has been out of the game for some years and' there was much talk and speculation on the campus and among the locker-room loungers as to whether he was still the same old fighting Ted as of yore, but after having watched him work for the past 10 days. It is seen that he is "just as good - as new." Faulk is also giving his good right foot lots of attention these days and is send ing the drops and place kicks be tween the bars with a regularity.

Univer sity of Washington's 1919 football team will be light but fast, according to an opinion expressed by Coach Claude Hunt at the end of the first flay of practice. Few heavy men turned out for gridiron work here last year. Several fast runners appeared in suits on the first day of work. Among thorn were Ray Eckman, Ervin Dailey and Ray Gardner, three backfield vet erans. Prim, a former freshman star and other new men are showing sped.

How to Play Golf. THE golfer who expects to develop a consistent and reliable game must learn to systematize his shots, making all as nearly alike as possible, and with certain general principles governing stance and grip following this theory, the average player will be able to work out a con sistent game.. The one exception to this rule is with putting, for nothing learned in connection with wooden slaw i mn saitsi VjmMm)UWm4ail1k i!knitMmiaB&m4Mk v clubs or irons will bring results on the green. Trying to relate the put ting stroke with the others in golf will result in years of unintelligent practice, for the putting stroke can not be brought within the carefully systematized method of play. Practically all the other strokes be long together, and are in fact merely modifications of one stroke. A doubt ing Thomas once upon a time sug gested that the stroke learned first is the putt, and since about 45 per cent of the total number of shots taken in a round are used on the putting green, there might be something in this theory. The average golf professional takes a pupil out to the practice ground for his lessons and places a driver in his hands. The instructor knows that thetwooden club is a hard one for the beginner and that fre quently by Its use he is able to get the ball into the air. When that I the case, the teacher, knowing, that sending the ball into the air il th greatest job of the novice, substitute the midiron for the driver, for almas any one can hit the ball, at least oc casionally. with the club. This manner of instruction has bee adopted because the tee shot is th first one of the game, and the general thought seems to be to take the club in the order in which they are u.se on the course. It makes a man feel that he is advancing steadily to th time when he can play each shot as needed in a round, beginning with driver and ending with the putt tha may or may not send the ball intoth hole. A great many golfers, both ami teur and professional, go on the prin ciple that the drive is the foundation stroke of the game, which is why they feel it should be learned first.
