STARTS 111 SPRING
Punting and Passing Will Be
' Taught to New Men.
PLAN NEW AT OREGON
Veterans of Otlicr Seasons Will Xot
Be Required to Get Into Train
ing Under Schedule.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Jan. 22. (Special.) Spring football
practice is going to take its place on
the list of sport activities at the uni
versity this year, according to "Shy"
Huntington, coach of t,he varsity
eleven. For the most part the work
will be limited to passing and punt
ing, and will not be required of the
veterans of otner seasons. it will
mainly be for the benefit of .those
who have never had experience at
football and expect to try for varsity-
places next fall.
There will be no attempt made to
have scrimmage, according to Hunt
ington The chief work will be for
those who are to try for backfleld and
end berths, and will consist in having
the backs sprint, and showing the
linemen how to start. Bill Hayward,
trainer, will give the men some in
struction, and try to keep them in
good condition.
Huntington's chief idea in adopting
the- system of spring training this
year is to develop a punter and a
passer. The teaming idea is new at
Oregon, although it has been success
fully tried at other of the colleges on
the coast. The loss of Bill Steers will
be felt more from the angle of his
ability to kick and pass the ball than
from any other. "Spike" Leslie, his,
understudy in the art of booting the
ball, n a linesman and it is advisable
to have a backfleld man do this work
when possible. None of last year's
frosh eleven was exceedingly brilliant
in this department of the game. Bur
ton was probably the best and he will
be tried out and instructed this
spring.
The receiving of passes by the ends
and the receiving of punts will be
drilled on. Some of the men will also
be trained to pass. These depart
ments of the game are always hard to
master and the spring work will be of
considerable assistance to t"he coaches
as they will be able to dispense with
much of the preliminary work when
the fall workout begins.
A number of veterans were lost to
the Oregon team this year and it is
necessary that considerable new ma
terial be broken in before the start or
the season. This is the chief reason
for the adoption of the spring train
ing plan.

BY FRANCIS OUIJ1ET.
NTIL quite recently it was under
stood that anything with an
English flavor to it was sup
posed to be the last word in golf. Of
late this has become an open question.
In fact, today we are not even willing
to aoncede British golf anything, for
we are quitev aware that the golf
played by both our amateurs and pro
fessionals is equal to that put ut
by linksmen anywhere.'
Take the play of Jock HutchinBon
as an example in our professional
ranks. In the open he scored a 9 his
first round, and to prove this was
not a flash he later duplicated it. Is
there-anyone who will say Vardon or
Ray or Duncan or Mitchell could do
better? And take the play of Chick
Evans as an example of our amateurs.
Chick, winning the title this-year,
played unbeatable golf. Surely not
British amateur is in his class.
Competition Did Jt.
A bit of personal history may offer
the reason for this rise of American
golfers. When I first began competin
iu Massachusetts a dozen years ago. a
score in the low tOs was a winner
Then Arthur Lockwood, who had
learned his golf on the wind-swept
EngKsh courses, was our supreme
player and had been for a long while.
He was one of the best of our early
amateurs.
When courses were constructed and
competition became the rule things
began happening. It was not long
before Lockwood's position was con
tested. Stars like Chandler and Walter
Egan, cousins. FrCd Herrcshoff, Jerry
Travers ahd Walter Travis were de
veloped by this competition. With
out it they and American golf would
have lagged.
It was competition which caused the
rapid rise of Bobby Jones, in 1!I16 as
a boy of 14 he made his initial appear
ance in a national amateur. No one
took him seriousiy except somu
friends
(iood Play I)inlayf-d. (
Jones put out some great players
and was only disposed of by an ex
champion. Bob Gardner, in the round
before the semi-finals. Since then
he has made it a point to play fre- J
quently against the stlffest competi
tion and he has certainly held hi
'own. I'm sure had Bobby not pur
posely sought these opportunities ot
matching shots with the golf elite ot
two continents, his progress would
not have been anything like what it
has been.
In 1916 I was deprived of playing as
an amateur.- The next two years were
upent In the army. Thus, for three sea
sons, I had little opportunity for
competitive play. What was the re
sult? It was not the easiest thing in
the world to come back to my old
form. I just couldn't. To play at one's
best one must have constant tests of
the most difficult kind.
England Takes Slump.
That is the trouble with English
amateur golf and the reason they have
no comers like Jones, Herron and
Piatt to carry on the high standard
set by Ball, Hilton. Harris, Lockhart
and others. Until they feature com
petition among amateurs they cannot
hope to regain prestige now being
lost.
On the other hand. British profes
sional golf owes its supremacy In
great measure to the numerous
matches 'and exhibitions held every
year. Scarce a week goes by that
their cracks are not eagerly sought
for. This has kept them at high pitch
just as it has no doubt made thetn
the great golfers they are.
American Game Better.
We have seen the light in this re-
spect and a rapid improvement has
been made as a result. Take Jim
Barnes, a fine example. When Jim
came from Tacoma a few years back
he was a fine player, but no one
thought he had the kind of golf in him
he has displayed the past few years.
Again seeking frequent tests with the
best in the world is the cause.
So has gone the game between Eng
land and America. That Is why I said
at the start we grant British golf not
a point today. And if our leaders keep
up the good work they may be de
pended upon to play on equal or bet
ter terms with any golfers the world
over. The opposite holds true, as well.
But abandon play for a while and
either the touch or your confidence
has gone the two factors most mak
ing for success!

Kellcy Signs 3-Year Contract.
BY WALTER CAMP.
(Copyright, 1921. by Tho Orcsonian.)
NEW YORK. Jan. 22. (Special.)
Athletics as a constructive element
in university expansion has again
been exemplified in. a gift of $50,000
from the University ot Pittsburg
Athletic association toward the pro
posed erection of a new recitation
building to be known as Alumni hall.
This gift is supplementary to $50,000
already given to the university by the
athletic branch.
Such contributions f.'om athletics
to the educational end of a seat or
learning is a startling sign of the
times, inasmuch as it affords a sharp
departure from the financing of
stadiums and the maintenance of
purely athletic activities.
The amount involved in these two
gifts is much more than the total en
dowment fund of many an educa
tional institution in times before or
ganized athletics came to their pres
ent significant estate. It represents
practically the football profits of two
years at Pittsburg.
Football Mnin Support.
Football has become throughout
the country the main support of all ,
the athletic interests in the majority
of colleges and universities. With- ,
out the football gate, tho various
teams, nines, crews, etc., could not
be financed. The expense column of
a university athletic department at
the pref.ent time is so largo that few
care to publish it in detail, and If
football should suddenly cease the
undergraduates nnd alumni of any of
our large universities would stand
aghast, at- the request to furnish an
amount of money necessary to carry
on the other sports.
Baseball at times is self-supporting;
perhaps a little more, but aside
from this are few self-supporting or
ganizations in the athletic line and
there are several, like crew and track
athletics, which run deep Into the
deficit, which must he made up
through football receipts. And these
expenditures are wowing steadily. At
the time of the war a great amount of
sentiment was expressed in faculty
and athletic committees to the effect
that this was the time to start on a
new era of economical administra
tion In athletics, and Wny were the
declarations mads against training
tables, engagement of seasonal
conches, expensive traveling and the
like. But none of these reforms ma
terialized when college sports roso
again to normal or as we might
say, abnormal. Of course, the uni
versity which is situated in or near
a large town lias an cnorm ins ad
vantage In the matter of gate re
ceipts. Harvcrd. just across the
tridite from Boston, can draw on Bos
ton for a considerabU attendance on
account of the great popularity of
football, even at the minor games.
Yale is so situated that her adver
tising of New Haven's population
makes her gate rathe:- better than
Princeton's, although Princeton is
slightly nearer' New York, from
which city both dial.- heavily.
Pennsylvania, being located right
in Philadelphia, has practically as
great possibilities of gate as has Har
vard. Pittsburg has a similar posi
tion. Chicago is well known as the
"mecca of the middle west confer
ence teams"; Brown has a great ad
vantage in drawing from Providence.
Institutions like Dartmouth. Cornell,
Colgate and, in a measure, Syracuse,
find a game In a large metropolis
well worth while from this staud
point.
Inter-sectional athletics, particular
ly inter-sectional football, has come
to help out because there is much
mofe partisanship about this than
with the ordinary minor game, and
hence we shall see more and more of
such contests i-i the future, provided
the authorities permit it.
