MANY PLAYERS DO NOT USE
RIGHT KIND OF GOLF BALL
Only Very Heavy Hitters Should Play With Small Pellet, Says Hutch
ison, While Others Should Use Lighter Ball.
BY JOCK HUTCHISON.
Only American to win British open
championship.
I WONDER how many golf players
know anything about the ball
they use, or should use. Many
golfers play with a ball that does not
suit their game at all. This la true
more often with the women. K was
more true a year or so ago than to
day, but the women golfers bave not
awakened to this fact
It was the golf authorities who put
an end to the small, beavy ball by
standardization. This made balls
more uniform, and it was supposed
that they would be better adapted to
the average player.
It will be necessary to go back a
little in golf history to make certain
points clear about the. modern ball.
In the beginning the originators of
the game used a feather ball. Old
timers have told how they made them
by stuffing a hatful of feathers into a
little leather cover, and how hard
they worked to get the cover on good
and tight.
We, who hit the rubber-cored ball
200 or 300 yards down the fairway
today, can appreciate how the game
has advanced since those times. The
gutta percha ball followed the
"leather." but it was by accident
only that it came to supersede it.
When gutta percha was discovered
early in the last century It was
thought to be suitable for golf balls.
Several were made up and submitted
to the royal and ancient 'committee.
They were tried, but found wanting
because they would not fly properly.
The ball had a habit of ducking,
which, of course, was no good for the
players who wanted to Increase their
distance, t It broke off line sharply and
couia not be depended on for direc
tion. W hy Balls Arc Dumped.
The balls were thrown away, and
some of them got Into the hands of
the caddies. They began to bat them
around with iron clubs and they be
came nicked all over. The more the
boys nicked them the greater dis
tance the balls would fly. The boys
called the committee's attention to.
this strange result. The secret was
soon discovered, new gutta percha
balls were ordered and little lines or
creases were made on the surface,
which caused the ball to hold up in
the air and steady on the line when
properly hit. A ball perfectly smooth
with a surface like marble will not
resist the wind, and this was why the
gutta ball was of no use until scarred.
The rubber core made Its appear
ance at the beginning of the present
century, 21 years ago. The art of golf-
Daii making Has all been learned in
that time, and goifb.ills tcday are a
pretty big part of the game. The first
rubber cors had bramble markings,
which gradually disaDDeared. eivtnr
rubber cores had bramble markings.
The dimple marking will hold the
ball up Jn the air better than the old
style, so experts claim. When the
ball is used a lot and becomes dirty
li will not ny nearly so far.. Golfers
should remember this point and keep
the ball clean. Nearly every up-to-date
conrae has provided a bucket of
academy at Portland; Thanksgiving
day, Oregon City high school at Gold
endale.

water and a towel at all tees for this
purpose.
While on the subject of cleanliness.
I want to suggest that the player
with a 'white ball before him every
shot has a great advantage over the
player with a dirty one at which to
aim. It is easier to see and will ap
pear much larger to the eye. We
pros seldom play around without
ueing two or three new balls. If the
stake Is worth it, the expense- of a
few balls Is trifling in comparison.
We pros a,re responsible, I am
afraid, for the women golfers follow
ing our example in using a small,
heavy ball when they were popular.
These balls could only be driven a
great distance by being hit very hard.
They were made by winding the rub
ber extremely tight, which made them
more difficult to compress, but when
hit a hard blow they could be com
pressed sufficiently to get plenty of
rebound from the club.
The makers of balls, realizing that
they were suited only to players who
could sock hard, made several lighter
balls. There are balls on the market
made now to suit eVery golf swing.
The easier the swing the lighter the
Dan should be.
The standard weighs 30 penny
weights. This ball has been a great
surprise to the authorities who tried
to reduce the distance from the tee,
as this model the best make will
travel even a greater distance than
the old 31.
Best Ball for Woman Golfer.
There Is a ball called a "29" that Is
better adapted to the game of the
woman golfer or Jhe light hitter. Thee
mere is suii a iignter Dan mat is
called a floater. Some players can
use the floater, which Is intended for
water hazards only, qn the entire
round and get perfect satisfaction.
However, it is not suited to most
styles. '
I knew pros who used to drive one
of the small heavy balls against the
wind and one a little lighter with a
following wind. I have often done
this myself and found It an advan-J
tage.
The small, heavy ball was supposed
to act steadier on the greens, as the
claim was made for it that it would
keep a better line. A large ball, every
one thinks, is so light that the least
thing defleots it from its course. A
smaller ball Is good for a hard hitter.
The present standard ball Is about
as nearly perfect as possible, but
manufacturers are not entirely satis
fled. Balls vary a little, no matter
what care is taken to make them
perfect.
Trouble sometimes results from
having a ball lobsided. This is caused
by hard hitting. Sometimes the core,
not being in the exact center, causes
trouble, not so much with the flight
as on the putting green. If very
much off center a small putt would
not run straight. It would not make
so much difference In the long putt,
as It Is quite impossible for anyone
to pick out the true line to the hole
when as far as eight or ten feet away
over a carpet of grass. A bad putt
may, therefore, find its way into a
cup while a supposed good one might
miss it. .

teams from all the South and' Central
American countries, Japan, China, Korea,
Siam, Dutch East Indies and the Pacific
coast sections of Canada and the United
States, be brought Into competition.
It Is one of the greatest undertakings
Hawaii has ever suggested. There Is now

TO BEAT EVERETT
Coach Fenstermacher Says
Surprise Is Coming.
WILSON TO BE TARGET
Intent to 'Watch Star of Northern
High School la Announced
by Local Official.
' 4
The Washington, high school foot
ball team, which plays Everett high
at Everett. Wash., Thanksgiving day
for the Interscholastic championship
of the northwest, will start -secret
signal practice early next week, ac
cording to W. A. Fenstermacher,
Washington coach.
"We expect to give Everett a big
surprise," said Fenstermacher yes
terday. "Everett's whole team is
built around one man Wilson, and,
believe me, we will watch that fel
low. "When Evetett played Columbia,
Wilson made his yardage ' on off-
tackle plays. Washington has In
Llebe and Mauts a pair of tackles
tnat will be equal to the occasion.
It will take speed to keep up with
Everett s shift formation and Wash
ington has a speedy line. " '
"Everett won its game against Co
lumbla by a couple of forward passes.
My ends are sure tacklers but run in
some times when they- should play
back. I am going to drill them to
stop the end runs of Everett. As for
forward passes. Priestly and Morrison
know how to play back on defense."
Mr. Fenstermacher said that he has
little fear that Everett will smash
his line. "Washington Is strong from
tackle to tackle, and as the Everett
backs could not do much bucking Ore
line against Columbia, I don't think
they will break through our line," ha
added. "Washington has. In my opin
ion, the best defensive center in the
Portland public school league. I
don't believe there is a center in the
league who is as good a tackier as
Carlberg. -
"Schulmerich of Columbia made
yardage often against Everett by end
runs and off-tackle bucks. I think
Potter is speedier than Schulmerich,
while Morrison is probably as fast.
Then I have a good line plunger In
Baker, our fullback. Priestly, the
other backfield -man, who rounds out
our backfield quartet. Is good on de
tensive, gives good interference, and
makes yardage when he carries the
ball. Morrison is a better punter than
Wilson of Everett.
"Washington has no individual
stars like Schulmerloh of Columbia or
Wilson of Everett. When one of my
players gets hurt I have men oh the
bench who are practically as good.
For example, Schmekel, our substi
tute quarter, can make any other
backfield in the interscholastic
league. But as we have Potter, we
have to keep Schmekel on the bench
In case anything should happen to
Potter, the team would not be de
moralized, as Schmekel can handle
the team almost as well. That ap
plies also to all other positions on the
team.
"The fans may be surprised if we
don't run up a large score against
James John tomorrow, but It is my
Intention to give every second string
man a chance to show his wares.
That constant shifting may keep the
score down. We are fortunate this
year in having had no Injuries, so
few of the substitutes have had a
chance to play.'
"After tomorrow's game with James
John we will get' down to some real
hard practice. If I can obtain the
Washington gymnasium for the pur
pose, we will hold secret signal prac
tice there every day.
Although Coach Fenstermacher
would not discuss prospects for an
lntersectional east vs. west game if
Washington should beat Everett.
which was the national interscholas
tic champion In 1920, .students at
Washington high believe that In such
case the school directors would set
aside the ruling forbidding more than
one post-season game. This would
give Washington a chance to play a
Christmas game either here or in the
east.

YALE STAGES COMEBACK
HARVARD AND PRIXCETOX
TEAMS APPEAR WEAKER.
Defeat or One of "Big Tlirco" Said
j
to Give Victors More Prestige
Than Other Conquests.
NEW YORK. Nov. 8. Little by little
football critics are putting their fin
gers on this or that team as having
displayed either the actual or poten
tial strength to receive consideration
as leading gridiron machines of th.
1921 season.
Of the so-called Big Three. Yale ap
pears to be staging a comeback after
years In th doldrums of defeat. The.
front held by the Big Three has re
mained firm unly 4n the Yale sector.
Harvard has had Its line bent, while
Princeton has' been pretty thoroughly
shattered.
The term "Big Three" is not self
assumed, as many suppose. It was
wished on these universities by the
public many years ago when they
were supreme in the football of that
day, before the open game and the
overhead attack. And even today
colleges can derive more satisfaction
out of defeating one of this trium
virate, even though It may be having
an off season, than ky beating the
team which, for the moment, may
have flashed into football prominence
for a season or two. There is a say
ing that "teams may come and teams
may go, but the Big Three go on for
ever." Many years of play and a
fairly consistent show of strength
over a long period have given them a
prestige which even off seasons fall
to dim.
Nobody Is overlooking the fact that
Penn State is looming large over tho
eastern football horizon. Lafayette,
which defeated Pittsburg, has rather
an imposing record, but few would
concede it a chance today to repeat
over the Smoky City players. Fol
lowers of football who have, for years,
kept close track of the trend of
events, set little store on what -hap-
ycio ... -
son. Almost every team has some
game at which it is "pointing" Us
"big game" and all others are merely'
incidental to this main event.
Whatever may be the standings of
the Army and Navy teams. It must
not be forgotten that these elevens
are under no restraint of a three
year clause, nor is any limitation
placed on when they may begin pre
paring for the season. As a matter
of fact. Annapolis had three weeks
more of actual field practice than
Princeton before these two teams met.
