Colleges May Split Over Rowing Distance : Chicago Illustrates Spread of Golf
CORNELL FIRMLY AGAINST
FOUR-MILE REGATTA ROUTE
iWith Penn Supporting Ithacans Against Columbia
and Syracuse, Intercollegiate Rowing Asso
ciation May Go On the Rocks.
• . _
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.
NEW YORK. January 24.—Cornell’s attitude against rowing a four
mile regatta at the end of the intercollegiate aquatic season is one
to which she probably will adhere. Charles E. Courtney, the
greatest rowing coach this country has ever known, advocated the two
or three mile route on the ground that too much time was required to
prepare students for the four-mile route. He maintained that tests as
convincing could be held upon lanes of lesser length.
Courtney has passed on. but his system and his views are very much
alive at Ithaca. Besides, development of rowing at Princeton and estab
lishment of the most friendly and sportsmanlike relations among Cornell,
Yale and Princeton has taken the edge off the Poughkeepsie affair. A
regatta of the three has come to be regarded as one of the very impor
tant events of the season.
Pennsylvania is even more strongly
opposed to four-mile rowing than
Cornell. With the Quakers, the
Childs cup regatta, the American
Henley, and other early season re
gattas have appealed to them as
supplying adequate tests. Pennsyl
vania has no home four-mile course,
and she frowns upon the expense of
migration to a rowing camp. Again,
she opposes regattas rowed after
term time.
Pennsylvania goes* even farther
Ilian Cornell. She would prefer to
eliminate the three-mile race and
i ome down to short-distance events
rowed exclusively in collegiate en
t iropment.
Dr. Spaeth, the Princeton coach, has
no intention of advocating a change
in Princeton's rowing policy. He ob
jects to rowing races out of term
time, and feels that time and money
required for preparing for long races
make them prohibitive.
Out west, when intercollegiate row
ing is established, the two-mile race
is likely to he the limit. At least
that is the feeling at Minnesota. Dr.
AVilce, athletic director at Ohio State,
favors the shorter distance. As to
the present deadlock between Cornell
end Pennsylvania on the one hand
snd Columbia and Syracuse on the
other—the first holding for three
miles and the latter for four—no one
tan say what will be the outcome.
There is a remote possibility that
the situation might involve the
WESTERN GAME FRIDAY
TEST FOR EASTERN FIVE
EASTERN and Western arc to clash in the second game of a high
school basket ball championship series double-header Friday at the
Arcade, and if the former wins it will take a deal of beating there
after to be kept from the 1923 title. At Central Coliseum yesterday the
Easterners ran roughshod over Business, winning 25 to 16. and taking the
lead in the high school series, with a record of two victories in as many
starts. Just before the Capitol Hill boys scored their win Western easily
overcame Tech. 31 to 18, and went into second-place tie with Business.
NEW SYSTEM STYMIES
“FORGETFUL”GOLFERS
Golfers who "neglect to remem
ber" several strokes on their way
around a course may be coped
T- ilh in a satisfactory manner, as
is indicated by the following,
which reached Washington today
from the south:
After watching a match between
two duffers on a certain Florida
course, n friend walked up to one
of the players and remarked:
"1 noticed your opponent gave
you the wrong score on his play
several times and you made no
objection. What's the big idea?”
"Oh, that's easy," replied the
supposed victim, “That’s hia
handicap."
“Handicap." the friend counter
ed. “Flow’s that?”
"Well. I can give him six strokes
and beat him any time he wants
to play fair But he doesn’t want
to play fair, so we start even,
he forgets about six strokes and
i win anyhow. Thai's my system
of handicapping."

SPORTS.
breaking up of the Intercollegiate
Rowing Association.
It appears that college crews row
ing In Intercollegiate regatta* on Lake
Carnegie at Princeton last summer
were justified in their complaints
that the shells frequently dragged.
This was because of the shallowness
of the water.
When an oarsman says that his
boat drags he means that the keel of
his craft is so near the bottom that
undue physical effort is expended.
Reports of Princeton engineers, sub
mitted to the Athletic Association,
show that in the course of the past
five years the mud flowing Into Lake
Carnegie exceeds the gold that used
to flow into the pockets of the donor.
In many places "not more than a foot
and a half of water covers the bot
tom.
The engineers add that in their in
spection of the lake bottom when
the water was let out last fall the
propellers of launches which followed
the oarsmen bit into the mud more
than half the length of the two-mile
course. Just what to do about the
situation is the topic of a conference
now being held between the uni
versity engineers and two experts
who have served on the engineering
board.
Initial steps to he taken this spring
Invalve the installation of two great
suction dredges, which will prepare
the course for regattas to be held

The vanquished Techltcs are to
face their old rival. Central, in the
initial battle of the dual bill Friday.
As Central Coliseum is not available,
this and the Eastern-Western match
are being staged at the Arcade in
an effort to make up time lost
through the discarding of the first
four scholastic contests played and
the postponement of two others due
to the renewal of the titular series.
In beating Business so decisively,
the Easterners continued their dash
ing play that upset Central last week
and put up a far better performance
than in the invalidated game that
went to the Stenographers. 21 to 20.
With Hook and Kessler playing bril
liantly at forward and guard, re
spectively. Eastern had everything Its
own way in the first half, which ended
in its favor, 18 to 4. Business took a
new lease on life in the second half,
especially after Hook was banished
via the personal foul route: but East
ern, traveling under a comfortable
lead, attempted little more than a
defensive game in the latter portion
of the fray.
About the only comfort Tech can
glean from yesterday’s mix-up with
Western is that the latter did not
win aa handily as in the discarded
match between the teams. That
ended 32 to 12 against the Manual
Trainers. Tech put up a good battle
In the tlrat half yesterday, but it
never really had a chance against
the Red and White. The latter found

then on scored with ease. Frisby,

INSIDE GOLF
■ By George O’Neil———
One of the latest Mureesaful de
velopments In the golf world is
the uemi-publle course. II Ik
cities everywhere will no doubt
take hold of this phase of the
sport bemuse of the tremendous
popularity of golf. The semi-pub
lic course Is n logical development
because it Is an ideal midway sta
tion for the average golfer, lying
as it does between the over
crowded public links and the
| costly exclusive p-ls club.
In the aeml-pnhlie golf club the
elnb membership supports the or
ganisation and the public pays the
freight—that Is, a group of en
thusiasts con organize and launch
an unpretentious golf elnb and
then, when It la under way. per
mit the general pnblic to play by
paying a greens' fee the same ns
would be paid at any private
Mine, There Is always plenty
of room for additional players on
the course of any young elnb so
that the additional income from
greens' fees enables n elnb tn
thrive and flourish where It might
otherwise die.
The semi-public course gradu
ally becomes a private course If
the original members so elect. As
the. course grows in popularity
and attracts additional golfers the
membership ran gradually be
closed up, nnd the course he closed
to the public thereafter altogether.
Thin plan would obviously ex
tend over some live to ten years
tn Ita complete working ont, hut
while time la passing the original
members are at the same time
acquiring n golf course, nt the
minimum of expense, which be
comes Increasingly valuable ns
the years go by.
There are at leant six of these
semi-public golf courses under
way In the Chicago district, and
news of additional ones is forth
coming. 'Most any big city, and
a good many of the smaller cities,
could support one or more such
courses.

LOS A.VGELES. Calif., January 24.
Gene Sarazen. national open and pro

qualifying founds lagged behind the
leaders, and Jock Hutchison, former,
iy British open champion, who tied
with four other players for second
place, were to make last efforts for
the southern California open cham
pionship in the final thlrty-slx-hole
round at the Flint Ridge Country
Club today.
The participants were the thirty
two low-score professionals and the
same number of amateurs from the
208 players who entered the qualify
ing rounds. .
The forecast was for unsettled,
rainy weather, which was expected
to handicap the golfers by making
both clothes and greens soggy.
Tom Stevens, Minnesota open cham
pion. who turned in the best card of
the tournament yesterday with 69.
two strokes under par for eighteen
holes, making his total for two days
143. was expected to be given a hot
battle by Hutchison, who shot a 73
and made his total for thirty-six
holes 146.
Sarazen played no better than in
the first round Monday and. while
his total of 136 qualified him for
today’s playing, close followers of
the game- said he had not been able
to acquaint himself with the course
and he was not expected to push the
leaders. More than a score, including
both professionals and amateurs,
turned in better cards than Sarazen
in the qualifying- rounds
Among others who have qualified
for today’s play were John Black of
Oakland. Calif., runner-up to Sarazen
in the national open meet; W. Rob

Would Have Used Courses Had There Been
Room—Facilities, to Be Increased.
CHICAGO. January 34—The pressing need of more golf courses to
supply the demands of the increasing army of golfers was shown
by the compilation today of the number of golfers who played
over public links in Chicago during 1922. While more than a million tick
ets were issued, starters said three or four times as many would have
been in demand if there had been room for play.
The courses were crowded from dawn to dusk, from earliest spring
to latest fall, and players were sent out in fours, so close to each other
that two or three foursomes were on each hole. The largest number were
accommodated at the eighteen-hole links in Jackson Park, where 124,584
players teed off. or some 500 a day, from March to December. This re
quired the starting of four players every five minutes from 6 a.m. until
5 p.m. on the average. •

HAMILTON. Bermuda, January 24.
—W. H. Buchannan of Port Chester,

amateur golf championship, defeating
O. P. Schaffer of Chicago in the final
round, 6 up and 5 to play.
SPORTS.
On the nine-hole links in Jackson
Park. 118,070 players golfed, while
the Lincoln Park nine-hole course
furnished golf to 108.828, and the
eighteen-hole links In Marquette Park
took care of 100.077. The other half
million were forced to make long
trips to forest preserve links and
public courses.
The dearth of links in proportion to
players has started the building of
nearly a dozen pro rata courses in
Chicago where the golfer may pay
as he plays without the formality of
joining a club. These courses cost
the golfer somewhat more in car fare
and fees, but do not require much
. more time, for he is able to play on
1 arrival and cover the course in 'half
; the time he takes on congested links,
i Plans are already under way in
; Chicago to build a score more pro rata
I links, and the Forest Preserve Cem
j mission, with room for fifty additional
links. Is planning a half dozen for the
near future.
The largest play on any private
i links In the world was that at the
1 Olympia Fields Club. Chicago, which.
I with three eighteen-hole courses,
| took care of 60.000 golfers in 19J2,
It was estimated that the other six
ty-five private golf clubs In Chicago
provided for some 100,000 golfers last
j year, these courses lying Idle most
