4 THE SUNDAY OREGOXTAX, PORTtAXD, DECEMBER 31. 191fi. TWO GOLFERS RANK FAR ABOVE OTHERS Achievements of Walter J. Travis and Jerome Travers Extend Over Many Years. EVANS IS YOUNG IN RANKS Two Oldtiuicrs Show Victory After Victory in Amateur and Open Championships Over Formid able Rivals During 15 Years. All Individual achievement of rare merit, in whatsoever branch of sport, always claims the bulk of public at tention. Here and there the non-combatants who view things from the lines are willing to figure in an average, but for the most part they are mainly In terested in what rests within easy Eight. The two most notable one-year achievements In American golf were undoubtedly established by Francis Ouimet when he beat Vardon and Ray Jn 1913 and Chick Evans this waning i fiason when he bagged both the ama teur and open titles. These Svere rare performances, worthy of all the acclaim eaoh received. Star Average Is Soucht But what is the best average over a four-year or a five-year span ever built up? After all, it is the average ver an extended interval of time that must .count above all things else. Suon an average in awarding the main laurel, must be placed above any one year of brilliance, however great. In this latter competition there are two men who lead the field. These two are Walter J. Travis and Jerome D. Travers, two of the most notable names in American golf, ranging from 1 Q n n thrnmrh 1 Q 1 5 o anon nf IK vao Francis Ouimet had two great years' In 1913 and 1D14 when he won the ama teur and the open. But his career was rut short this season by the United States Golf Association. Nineteen hundred and sixteen has been Chick Evans's first notable suc cess the first time Chick had ever landed a National championship. So In the competitive average for National honors Chick must look to the, future rather than to the past. The debate here rests between Travis and Travers. Travis and Travers In Lead. Travers has four medals which tell the story of a consistent four-year average that no one except possibly Travis has e-er approached. They are dated and engraved as follows: "1912 Amateur Championship." "1913 Amateur Championship." "1914 Runner-up, Amateur Cham pionship." '1915 Open Championship." The one silver medal came from 1914, when he went to the final round only to fall before the exceptionally fine golf of Francis Ouimet. But to offset this one defeat he beat Evans at match play in 191", Ouimet at match play in 1913 and both Evans and Ouimet in medal play in 1915. Only a golfer of tinusual skill and unusual tenacity and determination could round out four such years In succession, involving both match and medal play. Showing; llo.it on Record. For four consecutive years of golf this showing is the best ever made in American play. In 1912, 1913 and 1914, through amateur championships, Trav ers. out of 15 matches, won 14 and lost 3, adding the open championship to his list after he was beaten by Ouimet. His record there was 15 victories out of 16 starts, an average well above .900 for the four campaigns. The only span of consistency to com pare with this was established by "Walter J. Travis from 1900 through 1904. The veteran had a lapse in 1902. when Louis James won the amateur, but his general average was remarkably high, as the dates and results show: 1900 Amateur championship. 1901 Amateur championship. 1903 Amateur championship. 1904 British amateur championship. Viewing this record with that of Travers' shown above, it is no wonder that the names of Travis and Travers are planted so high in American golf Two Rank Equally High They have been far and away the two most consistent amateurs the game over here has ever known, when the general average of their play is fig ured in. As Travers, In addition to the above achievements, won the amateur cham pionship In 1907 and 1908. giving him four amateur titles and one open, his name, so far as achievement and past records go, belongs at the head of American amateur golf. In 10 years of competition he has won five cham pionships and gone to the final on another occasion, a remarkable aver age when one knows the sudden and freak shifts of golf form. A peculiar feature of the Travers TravU records, with nine champion ships between them, is the general methods of their play. To begin they stand as the two best putters that golf in this country has yet shown They have proved, more than anything else, the great value of a fine, short game. It would be hard to say which was the better putter, since both had mastered the mystery of the green to such a winning extent. Cottage Grove Sees Good Boats. COTTAGE GROVE, Or.. Dec. 30. (Special.) Several fast boxing- matches were put on at the Moose smoker Christmas day. In the heavyweight event between Leon Arne, of Cottage Grove, and Arthur Jones, the Rujada lumberjack, the match was declared a draw. In the lightweight events. Billy Ryan, of St. Johns, was given the decision over Harry White, of Port land, and Jimmy Duffy, of Astoria, was awarded the decision over Tommy Mouck, of Vancouver. The victors in the lightweight events went on for a final bout, the decision going to Ryan. A large number of supporters accompanied the boxers from their home cities. Amherst Has Good Swimmers. AMHERST, Mass.. Dec. 30. (Spe cial.) A better swimming team than ever Is the verdict of Coach Nelligan as a result of the recent interclass meet at Amherst. Captain Lemcke and Nelli gan are the star performers. Nelligan clipped 1 seconds off his old record for the 220, and Lemcke won both the 50 nnd, 100 in good time, while Cowles, a freshman, will probably appear in the meets after mid-year examinations. Roy Le Due Beats Robert Scott. By taking the last block of his pocket billiard match with Robert Scott last night. Roy Lo Due won the contest, 700 to 412. Scott was endeav oring to make 600. Last night's score was 175 to 116. Scott made a high mn of 77, while 71 was Le Due's best in one inning. The scores of the first three nights of the four-night match follow In order: Le Due 175, Scott 71; Le Due 17 5, Scott 160; Le Due 175, Scott 65. i McMiim i lie Hi, Salem 18. SALEM. Or., Dec. 29.

Following are listed a number of University of Oregon graduates and a brief record of their work since leav ing school. These men are not selected because the- are exceptions, but because they were famous In the Northwest in their college days on account of their ability to perform in moleskins and head guards. Their names are familiar to all the old followers of the game. Tenipletona All Make Good. Away back in 1896 when the Uni- ' versity of Oregon had only four build ings and 16 faculty members, Harry S. Templeton got his sheepskin along with 19 other seniors. When he left for San rFanclsco to study for the ministry he left behind 9hlm a record for having been among the first to bring fame to his alma mater in Inter collegiate athletics. He recently re signed as pastor of the First Presby terian Church at Vancouver, Wash. The word Templeton Is synonymous with good football at the University of Oregon. Four of the Templeton brothers played at Oregon, and each one could fairly scare a football across the goal line. Frank M. Templeton didn't graduate. He In now owner of n commission house at 123 Front street, Portland. Joe Templeton played halfback, orated and wrote for the college paper when in college. He was graduated in 1905 and is now practicing law in Seattle Wash. Homer D. Angell. who received his B. A. degree in 1900 and his 1 -T . B. from Columbia in 1908. is practicing law in Portland. In his student days at Oregon he was an orator, poet and football star, and he haa managed to keep up the same pace In his law prac tice. Sutlth'a Record Excellent. If a man wants to be a lawyer he can go to some college west of the Rocky Mountains, but If he wants to study law and also be an all-Amerlcan fullback he has to go "back East." Rlehard Shore Smith, or "Dick" Smith, as everybody calls him. wanted to do both these things, so when ho was turned out of Oregon In 1801 with a B. A. degree in his pocket and an armful of press clippinga. he entered Columbia. Smith was made fullback and captain of the team. Walter Camp couldn't see Dick Smith in Oregon, but he aaw him at Columbia and put him on his mythical eleven. Smith is now prac ticing law In Eugene. When Fred Zlegler. City Physician of Portland, was an end on the Ore gon team he always managed to keep his name In print and the accounts usually ran something after this fash ion: "Gault kicked to Ziegler, who made 30 yards." Ziegler wm chosen all-Northwest end. He was graduated I in 1902 and finished his medical rk at Jefferson Medical College In 1906. Oscar Gorrel finished In 1902. He taught in a college at Amoy, China, for five years, but is now back in Ore gon, a rancher near Sutherlin. Gorrel played four years on the Oregon eleven. Fred G. Thayer earned his M. D. de gree at Northwestern University In 1907. but was graduated from Oregon in 1903 after a great career on the gridiron. He was chosen al 1- North -west center and later tackle by the sport critics, but that didn't spoil him. "Doc" la practicing at Medford. Athena. Or., has a Mayor named Homer Ish. Watta. who Is a lawyer and wheat raiser on the aide and who back In 1903 was right halfback en the State Unlveratly football team. Watta got his picture in all the Northwest papers every year until he was graduated and had gone to Har vard to atudy law. Ray Goodrich came along one year later. He finlahed In 1904 and is now a regent of his alma mater, aa gradu atea like to call their colleges. His regular business is banking, and he is assistant cashier of the First National Bank at Eugene, but every once in a while he takes off time to go upto the University and tell the boys at fhe "pep" feata what football was like in the old days. Virgil Earl, who teaches mathe matics and coachea winning football teams at Washington High School. Portland, learned how good football Is played when he waa an all-Northweat tackle on the Oregon team. He was frraduated In 1906. He haa been teactr lng practically ever since. The man who played guard next to Virgil Earl and who helped to make up a defense that no other players could break through, waa eJeth Kerron, now a practicing physician and Bur geon at Eugene. Kerron and Earl were claaamates. "f- Latour.-ttes Are Notable. Northwest football enthusiasts re member two UCtourettes. "Sap" and "Jack." They are brothers whoae tal ents seem to run along the same lines. Each took to football like bees to honey; each was chosen all-North weet quarterback: each became a lawyer, and they are now practicing together at Oregon City. The name Jack's mother gave him was John R., and "Sap" is registered in the lawyer's directory as Earl C. but the students fixed them up differ ently. 8uch combinations don't go well with captains of football teams and all-around athletea. 'Jack was graduated in 1907. Besides being a lawyer he, haa aerved a term in the State Legislature as a Represen tative from Multnomah County. "Sap" finished bis work for a B. A. degree in 1912. Both men are mar ried. McKlsmcy's) Fame Not All Athletic. Then there's Henry McKlnney. "07 The University of Oregon first dis covered that the region east of the Cascades produced something besides sagebrush and jackrabbits when Mc Klnney came down from Baker to get an education. Although McKinney was an orator, track star, literary man and student leader in college, Jt was through foot hall that the Northwest made, his ac quaintance. He was all-Northwest fullback and kept the .coaches busy doping out formations lol atop his Una plunges. McKinney k a ranches in Baker County now and president of the Farm ers' Union in his district. He took time off a couple of years ago to go to the State Legislature as Representa tive, and Governor James Wlthycombe recently appointed him regent of the State University to fill the next va cancy. He waa married laat Fall. Marshfield has an architect who goea by the dignified name. William O. Chandler. The old University men will insist that the proper name la "Weary." tis it was under this cognomen that be made a record for himself as one en the fastest ends .who ever cavorted on a Northwest gridiron. "'Weary" la busy planning houses these days, but he usually manages to get around to aee some of the big games. Hub; Wins na Kdorsiar. If you will go to McMinnville and ask the City School Board for a record of George Hug. City Superintendent of Schoola, they will tell you that he is a staunch exponent of Junlorhlgh schools and that until 1915 waKjriii cipal of the Eugene High School. He has also written articles for mcga xlnes along educational lines. These directors will also tell you that Hug was graduated from the Unlver stly of Oregon la 1907 and before that time was an all-Northwest center on the football team. Carl McClaln finished his civil en gineering course at the University in 1907 and then took up work with the city engineering department at Eu gene. He was also on the faculty of the University for some time. Just now ho is back at Cornell taklnfr ad vanced work and holding down an ln- ructorshlp at the same time. As a football man McClaln played guard. Since 1907 the University of Oregon haa turned out a grlat of warriors. If anybody wants to know what quality of football they played let him look over the files of the Northwest news papers and search out the sporting page. Or let him write to some of the men who bucked the line for Idaho, O. A. C, Washington and other con ference colleges. Let him ask about Gordon Moores, Olln Arnsplger. Dudley Clark. Eberle Kuykendall. Charles M. (Chuck) Tay lor, Graham J. Michael, Ed Bailey, Louis Pinkham or William B. (Bill) Main. And then if this seeker after knowl edge wants to know of their records since leaving school, let him write to President P. L. Campbell, of the Uni versity of Oregon. He will find that Gordon Moores Is a rancher and cattle dealer at Richland, Wash., and has been elected to the State Legislature: that Olin Arnsplger is City Engineer at Medford; that Dudley Clark is a real estate agent; Eberle Kuykendall a physician in Eugene. - He will learn that "Chuck" Taylor la a 4entlat at Vancouver. Wash., and recently paased an examination for Second Lieutenant of the United States Armyrthat Graham J. Michael (It's Mitchell now) has a teaching fellow ship at Columbia; that Ed Bailey is a lawyer and last Fall acted as cam paign manager for his law partner, Mark V. Weatherford. in his race for Conirress: that "Bill" Main Is managing a 2000-acre bean ranch near Santa Bar bara. Cal.. and that Louis Pinkham Is In the United States general land of fice at Lake, Ark. Do Oregon football stars make good? Well, Oregon has not started a home for football dellnquenta. Not yet. HOLIDAY TRADE RECORD McMinnville Dealers All Report Customers Buy Heavily. M'MINNVILLE, Or., Dec. 30. (Spe cial.) Now that local merchants have had an opportunity for a breathing spell, a check-up on holiday business has been made and all pronounce their trade of the past fortnight the best they have had. "Never before In my business experi ence in this city." said one man. "have I known the farmers to be so prosper ous. During the past two years they have had good crops and have received big prices for their products. They certainly have been enjoying good times if their holiday purchases may be taken as an indication." Hardware stores, clothing shops, de partment stores, book shops and con fectionery establishments were kept busy up to the last minute before Christmas. People were continually buying.
