ROSE CITY GOLFERS
Allen Lee Longstaff Engaged
for Speedway Course.
LINK'S PLAN DRAWN UP
Committee Headed by Arthur Day
ton Making Rapid Progress in
Laying Oat Ground.
BY GEORGE COWXE.
Allan Le Long-staff, for the past
tx months professional at the Eu
gene Country club, will start his
duties as "pro" at the Rose City
speedway course tomorrow. While
the course at the old speedway
grounds Is only a temporary one,
there are enough players using the
links to keep a professional busy.
The committee, headed by Arthur
Dayton, which la going ahead with
plana for establishing- a permanent
course on the grounds. Is making
rapid progress. The committee has
not decided upon a definite plan for
building- the course, but is waiting
word from several golf architects in
the northwest with ' whom the com
mittee Is in communication.
A tentative plan for the new links
has been drawn up by Longstaff, but
the committee has not yet given it
the official O. K. The plan as sug
gested by Longstaff calls for a total
distance of 3380 yards. There are
only two short holes in the links pro
posed by Longstaff the second, a
16-5-yard hole played over trees, and
the ninth hole, one which beginners
will like being short and the final
hole.
The second, third and fourth holes
call for shots either over or around
trees. The fifth would be a puzzler
to the player who tops his tee shot,
for It calls for a drive over a big pile
of stones and across the racetrack.
Under Longstaffs plan the sixth,
seventh and eighth would call for
play straight down the course.
LongHtaff. who has been in the
golf game ever since he was 7 years
old, when he started caddylng, came
here highly recommended as a pro
fessional. He superintended the con-;
struct ion of the largest course in
California, the Flint Ridge Country
club course of Pasadena, where he
put in nine months as professional
after the course was completed.
LongHtaff, with his brother, I. L.
Longstaff, now In charge of the
Honeyman Hardware golf school,
were professionals 6 years at the i
two municipal courses in Milwaukee, I
Wis. Then he was with the Detroit. :
Minn., Country club for one season,
going from there to the Quincy, 111.,
Country club.
During the war Longstaff was In
the army. After receiving his dis
charge he was with the Wayne, Neb.,
Country club and from there went to
Dallas, Tex., where he put in six
months as professional. From Dallas
to .California was the next move, and
then to Eugene.
Longstaff will start giving lessons
at the Rose City course tomorrow. He
has fitted up a shop on the grounds
and will be In attendance daily.
The next meeting of the golfers of
the Eastmoreland municipal course
will be held Thursday, November 17,
at the public library. A permanent
organization of the Municipal Golf
club will be formed. There were more
than 1 00 players present at the first
meeting last week, when Victor A.
Johnson was elected temporary chair
man and Dr. A. A. K now l ton tempo
rary secretary. There also was ap
pointed a committee to draw up a
set of bylaws and formulate other
plans for organizing the club.
.
The first annual western Oregon
golf tournament will be held No
vember 17, 18 and 19 on the course of
the Eugene Country club. The quali
fying round will be held Thursday
over 18 holes with eight to qualify
for the championship flight. First
round and semi-final matches will be
played Friday and the finals either
Saturday or Sunday.
Plans for the formation of the
Western Oregon Golf association will
be formed at the time the tournament
is held. Clubs Invited to participate
fn the tournament and also send rep
resentatives with power to act in the
formation of the association are the
Waverley Country club, Portland Golf
club, Tualatin Golf club. Gearhart
Golf club, Illahee Golf club of Salem,
Corvallis Golf club. Albany Golf club
and Medford Golf club.
VARSITY SOCCER SET BACK
Resignation of Coach Upsets Inter
collegiate) Plana.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Nov. 6. (Special.) Plans to make
soccer an Intercollegiate sport are up
in the air, due to the resignation of
Dean Dyment as coach and the heavy
loa In players. But with an increas
ing nightly turnout at the practices
held on muddy old Klncald field and
the agreement of Professor Gerald
Barnes of the physical education de
partment to act as coach, Manager
Brogan will schedule a game with
the strong Oregon Aggie team for
homecoming week end.
Thus far the players have not had
uniforms or shoes, but with the in
creased turnout and interest In the
port. Graduate Manager Bcnefiel has
agreed to furnish playing equipment
In the Immediate future.
Plana are under way to make soc
cer a minor sport and give sweaters
to letter men. Suggestions to this
effect will soon be laid before the
student body, wh'ch Is expected to
act favorably, as the sport rates a
letter at Oregon Agricultural college,
when the collegiana have two coaches
thia year.

HUTCHISON SINGS PRAISES
OF WOODEN SPOON IN GOLF
It's Far More Versatile Club and Easier to Handle Than Cleek, He
Says, and Is Best Club of All for Beginner.
BY JOCK HUTCHISONJ
Only American to win British open
championship.
I WANT to take this occasion to
sing the praises tf the wooden
clubs. In the early days, wood
was favored more than anything else
for a golf club. There were few iron
clubs, and the old boys had little use
for them except in the long grass or
in a sand trap.
There Is nothing like the feel of the
wood hitting the little white pill. This
was so even in the feather ball days
every old time golfer knows that the
first golf balls were made of feathers
suffed tightly Into a leather cover.
During the period of the gutta-percha
ball the Iron club became a necessity
almost as the hard gutta played havoc
with the face of the wooden club. The
Irons seemed to me the proper thing
for the gutta, but since the rubber
cored ball came , into popularity and
put all the other balls out of exist
ence, the wooden club has become our
chief weapon.
I carry four wooden clubs, a driver
and a bras&ie and two spoons. I use a
long spoon and a short spoon with
slightly different types of faces. It is
to the spoon I will devote most of this
article.
The modern golf course, the present
ball, and the recent development In
the art of playing the game all favor
the spoon. There was a time when
the cleek was a club popular with
every golfer. No one would think of
going out for his round without his
cleek any more than he would today
without his niblick.
But the cleek. whose name was
synonymous with that of golf itself.
ILLUSTRATING DIFFERENT
has been relegated almost to the dis
card. A few pros still swear by this
tool, and I am guilty of using one
myself once in a while, but I must ad
mit that the club is passing very fast.
Its uses are few today. The next golf
generation probably will abandon It
altogether.
Goodbye to the Old Cleek.
The spoon has been largely respon
sible for the passing of the cleek. It
Is possible to get just as much dis
tance if not more with the spoon, and
the shot Is better because there is
not that treacherous roll that is often
the result of a cleek shot. With the
modern art of trapping only a high
ball is safe. It is an old saying, but
well worth repeating: 'There are no
bunkers in the air," so the golfer of
today prefers to keep the ball out of
danger of all traps as much as pos
sible. Some golfers are still carrying
cleeks, others have supplanted the
cleek with the mashie-iron or a driving-iron,
as both are better suited to
the game Inasmuch as they have
wider blades. My advice to the be
ginner, or to the advanced pupil, Is to
get a spoon in place of the cleek. This
should take off several strokes per
round.
The spoon Is a much easier club to
play than the cleek. Some consistent
ly call the spoon a "wooden-cleek."
which fits the case very well. Just
why this club is termed a spoon I do
not know unless it was that in the
early days of golf It was a club used

Plenty of Competition in League.
Two hundred and forty-four play
ers took part In the contests staged
by the eight American league clubs
during the campaign just closed. Of
this great number, Harry Heilmann
of the Tigers was returned the vic
tor, after the closest and most won
derful race for leading batting hon
ors in all the history of major base
ball. to scoop the ball out of rough places
and get It into the air. It was called
a "baffy spoon" in those days.
In selecting a spoon, I can give lit
tle advice. If 1 was so sure that there
was only one kind, I would not carry
two around with me In my golf bag.
The player will have to take it upon
himself to pick out the proper club.
Perhaps his local pro can give him
some good pointers on the proper one
to buy.
There are times when a spoon Is
needed from the tee. The long hit
ters who do not trust driver or bras
sie on finer, more delicate shots, take
out a spoon. On a short hole, they
get less distance than with driver or
brassie, and the ball drops from a
properly played spoon shot without
much roll.
Spoon Easiest Wooden Club.
Of the three wooden clubs, the
spoon is by far the easiest to play.
It should be the simplest in the bag
to learn to handle on account of its
very long face, which Is well laid
back. The club was designed to get
the ball into the air quickly. Pros
find occasions often to use the apoon
from the tee on a favoring wind, or
on short holes around 200 yards, or
slightly more.
But the spoon was not originally
intended for the tee shot. It was
built for the fairway or the short
rough grass, where the club can be
whipped through. If one uses it
from the tee very much, he would
require one with a rather long shaft.
It should be just a little short of
the brassie. Some prefer a long face,
well lofted, while others select one
with- a rounded face that would per
mit of digging the ball out of a hole.
Players sometimes figure that their
TYPES OF SPOON CLUBS,
lie Is so bad that only an Iron will
do. As a matter of fact, a spoon
would dig It out better if it is shaped
like a scoop. These clubs are referred
to as "bulldogs." When I find myself
in a very bad lie, I would use a
maahie most likely. It would all de
pend on the distance I had to travel.
1 suggested in one of my early arti
cles that the first wooden club to
buy should be a brassie. In consid
ering the matter. I would now sug
gest that It might be just as well
to try a spoon first in order to gain
a little confidence In hitting the ball. I
There Is surely less chance for a.
failure with this weapon.
It is not often that much fancy
stuff can be done with a spoon, lz
is "old safe and reliable" first, last
and all the time. George Duncan
uses a spoon well and finds It a use
ful club for the fadeaway to the
green. I use the club for this shot
myself very often. One would be
more Inclined to slice with a spoon
than to hook.
As it is the one wooden club where
direction Is essential, care should be
taken in playing it properly. The
stance should be taken with the ball
half way between the two heels.
Bring the club oack In a straight line
and be sure to let the club head go
on out after the ball. One feels
freer to hit hard with a spoon, as
there Is so much hitting surface. It
should give one great confidence. Like
ai clubs, It requires practice.

Four Days Left to Prepare
for Big Test.
RICHERT SHIFTED TO END
Change Presents Backfleld Sub

Rutherford.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COL
LEGE. Corvallis, Nov. 6. (Special.)
The Aggies will have the hardest
week of training beginning Monday
that they have had to far this season,
according to Coach Richard Ruther
ford. With only four more days in which
to' prepare for the game Friday
against Washington State, Coach
Rutherford and his staff are deter
mined to employ every means possi
ble to get the team In shape so It will
be a match for the strong Pullman
aggregation.
Richert, who has been playing in
the backfield. has been switched to
right end. The weakest point on the
Aggie defense against Stanford was
right end. Tousey had been switched
from the backfield for this position,
but was unable to stop Stanford in
their end1 plays. The rest of the can
didates have not exhibited th neces
sary fight or endurance to hold down
the position satisfactorily. Richert is
"howlnir up well and with a little

more practice and experience should
make a valuable man.
The team as a whole Is In bettet
condition than when it played Stan
ford. Powell, Kas'berger, fiummers
and Miller look good as the combi
nation to start the game. With these
four men in the backfield the team
should be stronger than, it was earlier
in the season.
Locey'who starred at left tackle In
the Stanford game, is likely to be
started against Pullman, with either
Crowell or Harold McKenna In the
right position. The guard positions
will be taken care of by Clarke. Chris
tenson. Taylor and Heyden. After the
showing that Heyden made in the
Stanford game he is almost sure to
be started with Christenaon in, a guard
position.
Bog Stewart may start at center,
with McFadden at left end. If Richert
continues to show well at right end,
he' may be used; otherwise either
Loughrey or Taggart will start.
By switching Richert, the substitu
tions for the backfield present a se
rious problem for Coach Rutherford.
He will have to depend largely upon
Hagerdorn, Hughle McKenna, Gill and
Tousey.
Although defeated by Stanford, the
spirit of the team has not been
crushed. They all realize that they
have a hard game ahead of them when
they play Washington State and be
lieve that if they play their best that
the game can be won.

There has been little check In
swimming activities this year, the

school and college gompetltions take
place then, as well as a full pro

facilities for teaching the beginner
and for coaching the more finished
performers, so from every point of
view the indoor season has become
more important than the outdoor.

THERE are four recognized tests for measuring the quality of a motor
oil: (1) gravity, (2) flash, (3) fire, (4) viscosity at 100 deg. F. and

these tests and it is the standard used by engineering and purchasing de

doubt that the records will keep on
dropping. Already several great car

the sport more than ever amongst
the fans.
Charlotte Boyle, who, recently
started the swimming world when
she officially covered the 220 in

The old-fashioned breast stroke
seems likely to be relegated to the
scrap heap soon, judging from re
cent attacks made on it from dif
ferent quarters. First the 400-meter
breast stroke was dropped from the
programme of 'the Olympic games,
and a similar fate is anticipated for
the quarter-mile event In our cham
pionships. Now Frank Sullivan,
swimming coach at Princeton and
noted for bringing to light the now
universally used "trudgeon-crawl"
stroke, gives It a dig. He advocates
abandonment of the stroke, both as
a method of teaching and for com
petitive purposes.

country, when she was beaten at

Miss Blelbtrey's visit to that coun
try. Now she has emerged from that
retirement determined to try again.
There will be a great change In
competitive swimming In this coun
try If the rules proposed by the Cen

fore the national Amateur Athletic
union - meeting in November, are
passed by that body. The proposed
rules contain many needed changes,
and are the result of several actual

some use.
