Pittsburgh Approves
Eastern Conference
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 10?The recent
action at the National Collegiate A. A.
meeting in New York,' recommending
the formation of a conference to con?
trol athletics in the East similar to
the Western conference, meets with
^he approval o t e University oi Pitts?
burgh authorities, w. o have long hoped
fi.r such an org?iniasation.
Pitt has had the one-year residence
rule in effect for four years and its
other elig'ibility restrictions are on a
par with those of tho We tern confer?
ence. Only two other instit'itions in
the State of I'ennsylvania have thU
rule, however, they being University of
Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania State
Coliage. The general opinion here is
that i?vich an organization would be a
good thing for Eastern uth.eiics, and
ospecially football.

when they h;;vo no scores of their own !

This is quitc an order. The on'y way
to get around it is to name several and
let the bystander make hi3 own selec
tion.
Platt's Recovery
There is the case of Wood Platt's
stand against Frar.cis Ouimet at the
first extra hole.
Neither Ouimet nor Platt had plaveil
vtry go,d golf until they came to the
extra hole test, where the li istoti star
appeared to be on the verge of a tri
umph.
This first hole at Oakmont is 170
yards in length. Tho two ttood on the
first tee after a long, hard thirty-six
hole grind, with the rain beginning to
flood the course.
Ouimet, who had rallied for his last
stand. laced out a mighty drive, and
then dropped his secon-l on the green
within twelve feet of tho cup, a great
achievement under th" end t ons
had a twelve-foot putt for a :; on a par
5 hol<\ It would be hard to ask for
finer play.
Platt, after a fair drive. was thirty
yards short of the green on his second
shot.
He had a down-<;lTping green t-> p'rch
to, with a rivulet of water rambiing be?
tween his '->a 1 f?<" I ihe r p i' ; -H
to be an impossible attempt under the
conditions. He seemed to be beaten t >
a certaintv. But the youngrter .>tepred
up, played a low-cut shot boldly t> the
preen and the ball stopped within four
inches of the cup.
He had to piay thh stroke with
proper firmness and control to keep it
near th? cup, and the re:,ult was fully
deferved.
Ouimet we'nt for his 3, but missed
and lost on the next hoic.
Hagen's Mastcrpiece
Few who saw it will ever forjre'
Wa'ter Hagen's mastcrpiece in thi
opm when he came to the last hole a,
Braeburn.
Hagen here necded a par to tie Mike
Brady and a 3 to stand as open cham?
pion.
This cighteenth hole is '100 yards in
lcr.gth, a drive and a gjod i:on wi'.h
the course still soft.
After a fine drive between two long
lanes of gol? follower-, numberm
manv thousands, Hazen studied his
second shot.
'ihe pin was placod at t'e back o"
the creen. only a few feet fr.m a s'.one

at.empts made all year.
Ouimct's Brassie

it cost Mikc Brady two Cs on his last
two rounds.
After a fine drive Ouimet went
straight for the pin. He put every-.
thing he had into a terrific willop al
th iu ,ii he himself hard'}- expected to
reach the green, over 250 yards away,
trappcd on every side When he iame
up to his bail he was onl two feet.
fr m the cup, deaJ for a '.', beating par
by two stroi.es.
Later on at Shennecosset we saw him
twici iii succssion play brassie shots i
more than 230 yards away to within
two feet of the rvp. When it corr.es to
wood throu";h the fairwry he h s few
oqua's. Stran^cly cnou^h he serms to
use his brassie from n close le better
than his driver or brassie otF the tee.
One for Evana
C'-ick Evans played one rare shot in
tho open that aimost escaped comment.
Yet it was a murvcL
C< ming to the seveitcnth greeh, a
mattcr o" -40 yards, Evans had s'.iced
is tee shot to the right cf the trip
uarding the green. T e bail wa3 lying
ad y on'y two teps fr.:m the pit.
Tho flag was just beyend the pit, only
two o- t''-ree yard3 from trouble.
Furt' er back the s' ot would have
oeen much easier. But any one who
has played gof knows what it meana
'o get the bail close where the flag is
aroly beyond a trop. Yet Evans, from
.' e cuppy lie pitched to within a foot
:>r the cup, where t e backspin he d the
bail dcad. Applying backspin on a
-hort pitc'i of this type, les-, than
fifteen yards, is a trick that isn't often
.urncd.
Selecting any one shot as t^e great
est'of the year Is a bit too bu'ky an
order. Con:iitions enter irto the mat
er as much as the actua' r. i-ae'e that
occurred. Some rare 1 appening played
withcut any particulrr pressurn is no:
to be comparcd with a less spectacular
sturt that migiit decide a champion?

Mendez rapped tl e bail at the pripor

Britieh Think Committee
Erred in De.?iding to Hold
Antwerp Classic This Year
In the alver.ee of a d-jfinito statement
from the Br.itish Oiympic Council on
tha subject of preparation for the O ym
pic games at Antwerp this y.?ar. ::n Eng
li h writer hi3 ebtained the opinions of
three dist.net personalities on athletics
generaliy nnd the O'ympio g-tmes in par
t cular. Those three are Lieutenant
Coionel Arno'd N. S, J-.ckjon, an Eng
ii h ofli ? r and well-known athlete; S r
geant Linton Hewitt, a so dier, who
prior to the war had done much for
a h etics in Australia and Charles B.
Co hran, the English promoter, who
conducted Ihe Joo Bsckett-Georgea Car?
pentier bout last rnonth.
All three believe. he sa. s, that the
international O'ympic committee made a
gritt mistake in d.-ciding to ho'.d gimes
this yoar, and th it it will be impo:sib!e
to reorganize the sport in suffi.-ient
mc.sure to enable Great Britain to bs
ad quately represented at Antwerp. In
ordar to save the Bri'i-h prestige from
