BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
As this is the season of the year
when the Autumn leaves begin falling
tLntSL when the squirrels store up food
lew the Winter months, and, moreover,
as all the local club, state and sectional
golf tourneys are swept off the slate, it
might not be amiss to call attention to
tie phenomenal growth of the royal
and ancient game of golf In the Pacific
Northwest during th past 12 months.
Despite the untoward business con
ditions everywhere, golf forged ahead
with vigor.
Kew Clubs Show Big; Growth.
Here m Portland the two new clubs,
Portland Golf Club and Tualatin Coun
try Club, showed a steady growth in
membership, while the amount of work
bestowed upon the links was remark
able. The Portland Club suffered the
loss of its clubhouse several weeks ago
as a result or a lire, but plans are
afoot now for a new club structure.
During the year the new grass greens
were opened to the players, and within
mother six or eight months the second
nine holes wil be ready for service.
At T-walatin a healthy tendency
toward a more sporty course is mani
festing itself and when the bunkering
how under way is completed, this
pretty nine-hole course 15 miles south
of Portland will be as nifty a links as
mere Is on the Pacific Coast.
Waverley. of course, still holds to Its
laurels as being one of the greatest
courses In the country.
Another Links to Be Added.
Plans were announced within the
Tast fortnight for a new nine-hole
course about 20 miles up the Columbia
River from Portland. A new hotel is
to be built on Crown Point, overlook
ing the river and the Columbia High
way, and these new links will be lo
cated near the base of this picturesque
cliff.
.Portland is yet a bit backward in the
matter of a public links, but this will
come In time. Perhaps it will work
out better in the long run, anyway, for
it will take another year or two to put
the new clubs on a solid foundation.
By that time the city may find a gold
mine at the Llnnton rockpile and there
may bo enough loose dust in the ex
chequer to float a municipal course.
Portland is really the only city of im
portance on the Pacific Coast without
its municipal golf course. Seattle
opened its links several months ago
and they are proving popular. Spokane
Is the latest to get the municipal golf
course bug.
Gearhart Connie Enlarged.
Another notable improvement of the
reason was the enlarging of the nine
hole course at Gearhart beach into an
orthodox 18-hole affair.
New courses were dedicated with
divots during the year at Salem and at
Walla Walla and numerous improve
ments were made on the Eugene links.
II. Chandler Egan, of Medford, former
amateur National title holder, won the
Northwest championship at Tacoma.
Rudolph Wilhelm, of the Portland Golf
Club, won the Oregon state title, de
feating M. H. Hartwell in the finals of
this event, which was held over the.
links of the Waverley Country Club.
Russell Smith won the Gearhart tour
ney for the 'steenth time and also the
Waverley Club championship. J. R.
Straight won the bunting in the local
tourney at the Portland Golf Club,
overthrowing the state champion, Rudy
Wilhelm, and Ed Frohman upset the
dope at the Tualatin Country Club by
defeating Dr. Jonah B. Wise on the
37th green.
Golf Terms Explained for
Prospective Players.
Anpiamptlon 1 That Snmr Dealraaa
of Trylna- Game Are Kriehtened
by Apparent Difficulty of Mastering-
Teehniealltles.
THERE are many persons who claim
that they might adopt golf if tJiey
could, first of all, get some logical ex
planation for the phrases used in de
scribing the game.
Here is just what they want a
primer to aid the beginner In master
ing the link lingo:
i'ar is the number of shots one is
supposed to take for a hole. Two putts
are allowed on every green. If the
green may be reached in one shot, par
is three; if In two shots, par is four.
Bogey is a score to play against.
It is an imaginary opponent often re-
HIXT FOR GOLFERS.
A right arm may be too strong
relatively to the left, and may in
juriously interfere with the accu
racy of the stroke. Inaccuracy is
too high a price to pay for long
driving. What Is to be done with
the excess of power? Restrain it
by shortening the wlng? Would
it not be better to retain the long
swing and make up the deficit of
power In the left arm by a special
course of training of that mem
ber? ferred to as Colonel Bogey. Pat? takes
into account the length of the hole,
while bogey considers also the trou
ble. A player is one up when he makes
a hoi in fewer strokes than his op
ponent. The opponent is then one
down. If the latter wins the next
hole, the players are all square.
The expression 3 and 1 as the re
sult of a match means that one player
has won the match oy thre holes with
one hole yet to play.
A player is dormie when he is at
nvtny holes up as there are holes to
play. For instance, he is dormie
whon he is three up and three to play.
If the player who was three down
wins the rest of the holes the players
are then all square or even up.
The first winner o a hole after the
match is squared on the ISth hole
wiiis tho match.
A hole is halved when both golfers
require the same number of strokes
to play it.
A ball Is dead to the hole when it is
so clcose that it would be hard to mijp
the putt.
When t hole Is made In one stroke
tinder par it Is called a bird. Two
under par is an eagle. The wingei
tiling is yet t be born ' which could
. describe a hois in Uixee under par.

Says Dr. Sternberg, and Dr. I".
E. Moore Declares Intention
of Playing Often.
Local golfing clubs have staged all
sorts of tourneys, championships, hand
icaps, blind bogeys, old men, interclub
team events and. whatnot but why not
a city tourney for the medical profes
sion exclusively?
There are close to half a hundred
doctors playing golf in Portland, and
every man jack of them-isteopaths.
allopaths, homeopaths, physicians, sur
geons, dentists is a thirty-third-degree

"One of the prime features of the
National Medical Society's meeting at
San Francisco this Fall was a golf
tournament," remarked Dr. Joseph D.
Sternberg, one of the most enthusias
tic members of the new Tualatin Coun
try Club, the other day. .
Benefit of Game Asserted.
"Golf is doing wonders for this coun
try and I believe is destined to become
the most popular sport in the country,
outside of baseball. The Jewish people
are taking to it with a most surpris
ing celerity. Men who formerly spent
their leisure time playing cards and
smoking black cigars are now outdoors
getting the right kind of exercise hit
ting a golf ball around the links."
Dr. F. E. Moore, osteopath, is an
other enthusiastic golfer of the Wav
erley Country Club.
"I was kept rather busy most of the
Summer arranging for the National
convention held in Portland." said he
yesterday, "but from now on I intend
to spend as much of my spare time as
possible on the links."

Heard on the Links
Francis Ouimet has announced that
he is through with tournament golf
for at least a year.
"I can't look at a golf club with the
same enthusiam I did a year or two
ago." he recently said. "I haven't that
keen interest in match play that I
once had; and this is a big factor in
tournament play. I am going to take
a long rest and tournaments will see
me no more for a time. I'll play base
ball, hockey, tennis anything but golf.
Then, when I come back to my old
love, it will he with renewed interest.
"A year away from golf means noth
ing. I figure that if I retire at the
age Travis did from championships I
will still have 30 years ahead of me to
keep up with the good ones. After
that I will begin to think about the
senior tournament.
"If I live to be as old as Colonel
Xields I will have 30 more years to
play with the veterans.
"My principal reason for not playing
so much is that I am going to recon
struct my game, learn new shots and
experiment."
Although Walter Camp is not cred
ited with being the expert critic in golf
that he is in football, he often dabbles
in the game and sometimes writes
about it. Here is one of his "Camp
isms: "In golf, driving maketh a proud
man. approaching maketh a danger
ous man, but putting maketh a win
ner." i
Many New York golfers will, as
usual, enter the tournament at At
lantic City to be staged the last of this
month.
.
"Women, as a rule, are bad putters."
says one authority in speaking of golf
as played by the fair sex. He says:
"Some one has asked wherein women
players differ from men players in the
game. They argue that time after time
they see in the accounts of golf tourna
ments that the women drive frequently
as far as the men, play their iron shots
fully as well as the average good
golfer of the male sex. yet the scores
ol the women do not measure up to the
standard of the good man player by at
least a dozen strokes.
"Personally, we have noticed this Is
very true, and we have also discov
ered the reason. If you will stand at
any putting green in a woman's tourna
ment and watch the women putt you
will readily see where the men gain
a considerable advantage.
"'The female of the species Is more
deadly than the male,' but when Kipling
wrote thfs he evidently did not refer
to the putting green. At the very
place where the woman golfer on ac
count of her not being phyically as
strong as a man is expected to excel,
she 'falls down.' This is the delicate
part of golf, supposedly to be for a
delicate touch, yet it requires more
nerve arid more concentration than
almost any other department of the
game."
We very seldom hear anything of
Colonel Bogey in these day of ad
vanced golf. Few golf courses now
have a "bogey" on their cards on ac
count of all distances being measured
by the par system. The mythical old
Colonel has been relegated to the rear
and In a few years the name will
mean nothing to the golf player.
Bogey actually means nothing now to
the average player, who is either
striving for a par figure or one over
par. There are still bogey competi
tions being played, but they are played
against par, not bogey.
A course in the West has a woman's
par which is on the card several
strokes higher than the regular par.
To the average golfer par figures are
still a mystery. Par is easily figured
when you know the system used. Any
hole short of 226 yards is a par three.
Under 426 It Is a par 4 and under 626
it ia a par 5. Anything above this is
a par 6. but there are few courses In
the counjy that have a hole of a
greater distance than 600 yards.
.
In derision golf has been called an
old man's game. But in reality this is
more of a boost than a knock. In the
first place, it establishes the game on
a firm basis. Golf is a game that any
one can play, although it is most al
ways youth that excels in long driving
or fierce competition. The older man
enjoys the pastime Just as much as the
younger man who wins our champion
ships or holds our course records. It is
the support of the older man, who, as a
rule, has the means, that keeps the
game up to its present condition. Golf
courses cost money. There would be
few up-to-date links in America if
younger men were the only support of
the game.
J. B. INGERSOLL HER
PRESIDENT'S CUP TAKE9T IX CON
TEST WITH CLYDE GRAVES.
Match Won Frqm Longer Drives
Through Exceptionally Deadly
Approaching Entire Day.
J. B. Ingersoll, well-known in golfing
circles of the Northwest, won the presi
dent's cup final recently at the Spokane
Country Club. This is the highest
prize trophy of the season In Inland
Empire golfing circles, as it carrie
with it the year's championship of the
Spokane Club.
The victim was Clyde M. Graves. The
match ended 3 up and 2 to play.
Although Mr. Ingersoll has won many
other trophies, this is his first club
championship in the 10 years that he
has competed in Spokarfe tournaments.
In his match for the chamnionshiD.
the new champion excelled throughout
on the greens. Almost invariably he
piayea me oaa shot on the approach.
Graves outdriving him a big majority
of the time. Some of Ingersoll's ap
proaches were uncanny, and his ac
curate short game was easily the win
ning factor. The medal score: ,

At the end of the first nine they

While discussing the championship
play In Spokane mention should also
be made of a freak shot pulled off in
that city the other day by Fred B.
Grinnell,- who made a fiole in one. He
made the shot while playing a foursome
with Frank H. Graves and friends.
The ninth hole is 173 yards in length,
calling for a lofty drive from the tee
on a shelf above the gully just below
the clubhouse. It is the first time this
hole has ever been made in one, and
the third time any hole has been made
in one at the club.
The club professional. David H. Kind
lay, made hole No. 1 in one about six
months ago. and about three weeks
ago Charles S. Albert made the 17th
hole in one.

TUGS-OF-WAR NEAR
Rose City Athletic Club to
Start Week of Contests.
BOXING MATCH ARRANGED
Teams Representing Seven Nation
alities Will Vie In Strength Test-.
Ten Events to Be Held Each
Night on 10-Mln. Schedule.
Following a meeting: this afternoon
at the Rose City Athletic Club between
the various managers of the tug-of-war
teams to settle upon the length of
time for each pull, everything will be
in readiness for Promoter of Events
John S. Barnes to blow the whistle that
will start Portland on a hilarious week
of tug-of-warring.
The teams, of which' there are 10,
representing: seven different nationali
ties, will begin the week's tournament
tomorrow night with the British five
pitted against the Helenic team, repre
senting: Greece, furnishing the first ex
citement. At present It is planned to have the
pulls last 10 minutes each, with 10
events a night on schedule. This will
give each team entered a chance to
pull against two of its opponents each
night of the tournament.
Five Entrants on Each Team.
The pulling itself is a simple matter.
Five men make up the teams. Each
team has a captain that does not pull,
but stands on the platform and gives
signals to his squad. According to
Barnes, who is an old hand at the
game, the captain issues as many sig
nals as the manager of a baseball team
does during a diamond contest.
The team Is composed of four pullers
and an anchor man. The anchor man
takes his place at the end of the rope
and it is his duty to haul In the Black
at every opportunity. A sort of harness
strapping over the shoulder with a
wooden ridge around the waist which
the end of the rope encircles consti
tutes his outfit.
One of the latest devices In tug-of-war
machines has .been built for the
occasion. It has a luck device in the
center that holds the rope in position
until the signal is given to pull.
Boxing Matches to Be Held.
A mark is placed on the rope corre
sponding with one on each side of the
center piece. The pull ends when one
team pulls its mark. The 10-minute
periods are set so that in case the mark
is not reached in that time the winner
can be chosen as the one having the
man on the rope nearest its mark.
Besides the tug-of-war contests two
boxing matches will feature each
night's entertainment. The pairing of
the teams for the first night's pulls is
as follows:
1 British vs. Helenic.
2 American rs. Swiss.
3 Italian vs. Mollala.
4 German vs. National Guard.
5 Scandinavian vs. United States Army.
6 British vs. United States Army.
7 Scandinavian vs. Helenic.
8 Swiss vs. National Guard,
ft German vs. Mollala.
TO Italian vs. American.

of practice this week. With three new
men in the Whitman backfield. the
Aggies got away with several forward
passes which Coach Borleske thinks
might have been broken up. McDonald
who was injured early in the game last
Saturday, and Bishop, who has been

FIRM STUDY BASIS
SOUGHT FOR SPORTS
Tendency to Abolish Athletics
at University of Oregon
Is Not Evident.
ALL PHASES INVESTIGATED
Participation or Krcshmcn in Inter
collegiate Contest Is Kxpected to
Be Prohibited Report Is
Dae In Near Future.
BY LEO J. MALARKET.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Oct. 16. iSpeciaL) To place Intercol
legiate athletics at the University of
Oregon upon a firm educational basis
rather than to abolish them, seems to
be the big object that President Camp
bell's committee of seven has in view
a it carries on its investigation.
For two weeks these faculty mem
bers have been meeting almost daily
and the longer that they stay with
their work the more dense the problem
becomes.
What was thought to be mere re
search of a few days developed into
labors of a week and tonight the Job is
yet incomplete and it is rumored upon
good foundation that a report to the
faculty will not be forthcoming until
the latter part of the coming week.
AH Phases Are Considered.
Every phase of intercollegiate ath
letics, both good and bad. was taken
up by the investigation committee.
Scholastic standing of men partici
pating received a. thorough overhaul
ing and when the smoke cleared it
was found that the athlete stood higher
in his work than the man who failed
to take part in any student activity.
Finances were not forgotten as the
committee started the probe and Grad
uate Manager Tiffany was requested
to present a detailed report of the cost
of athletics for one year.
The question of freshmen partici
pating on varsity teams is receiving its
share of consideration and it will be
no surprise to learn when the commit
tee presents Its report to the faculty
for hearing and approval that it
recommend that freshmen be prohibited
from participating lntercollegiately.
Oregon's investigation committee is
as follows: .i De Cou. professor of
mathematics, chairman: Joseph Schafer.
professor of history: H. C. Howe, pro
fessor of modern literature: James D.
Barnett, professor of political science:
Warren D. Smith, professor of geology;
Fred C Ayer. professor of education;
George Rebec, professor of philosophy.
The above men are all little versed
in Intercollegiate athletics, with one or
two exceptions, and the .question re
solves itself into a sort of intangible
weave as they pursue it from its source
to its end. Hence the slowness of ac
tion and the luck of definite result.
Chairman De Cou said:
"The committee wants everv view
point. Until all evidence Is in and dis
cussed, and until the committee has
agreed upon the clauses of the report
there is little to say for the public."
Istveetlssatlosi Goes On Dally.
Perhaps no university in the North
west has given the attention to the
problem of intercollegiate athletics that
Oregon has since Dr. Barnett's meas
ure was presented to the faculty last
June.
Each day the men that carry the
burden of the investigation convene
for at least two hours. That which
ensues through the course of their
gathering is problematical and for the
most part kept from the ears of stu
dents and newspapermen. Nothing
definite has been decided, however,
and until final conclusions are reached
and are made laws the public at large
will be kept in Ignorance of the prog
ress of the seven investigators.
Students are little worried over the
decision of the faculty concerning the
disposal of their intercollegiate ath
letics. At first a monster demonstra
tion was planned and for a while It
looked as if the old fences in the coun
try were doomed to burn in one bonfire
as lemon-yellow undergraduates were
protesting against the abolition of in
terscholastic athletics.
Nerves finally quieted and when the
matter was put to those Instigating the
uprising movement, plans to protest
publicly were forgotten.
Thursday or Friday should see a
final report drawn up and its presen
tation an event of the next faculty
meeting.
City Turns Down Invitation.
The city will have no exhibit at the
Land Products Show this year. The
Council yesterday turned down an in
vitation to install an exhibit in space
to be allotted for that purpose. Last
year the city had an exhibit of charts,
diagrams and other things pertaining
to municipal government. These were
furnished by Commissioner Dieck.
Elk to Have Shelter.
Elk at the Washington Park zoo are
to have a shelter The Council yes
terday awarded a contract to L E.
Fields to build a shed for $598. Origin
ally it had been estimated that the
shed would oot about $20n.
