newcomersin tourney finals * By Frank Getty, VP Sports Editor. „ hll l fi Beach, Del Monte, pil.. Sept. - (UP -The amateur golf champion‘b7n of the United States rests to}lay ' n the outcome of a 36-hole final '"’""h between Harrison R. Johnston. rhe annual tournament before, altlo Kh each has made his mark in Je annals of the rosal and ancient ’nXing through » field rendered Jerally hopeful by the disappear- * „of Bobby Jones before the championship fairly under wa *; John ' ■ton and Willing overcame all opposition. Each, in his way, is a first class golfer, due for a title. The final match of the championship. like* a" ,he other matches since the first round when Bobby was put out, was bound to be anti-climaxtic. Golf enthusiasts of this part of the world sensed the fact, and attendance was perhaps one-tenth what it would have been if the dethroned champion had been on hand. Nevertheless there was .a certain clamor to today’s engagement due to the extreme popularity of one of the contestants. “Jimmie’’ Johnston had the gallery with him from the first drive to the last putt. Johnston won through to the final round by defeating Francis Ouimet, open champion in 1913 and amate'ur titlist the following year, 6 up and 5 to play. “Doc’’ Willing gained his place in the final brackets by putting out Chandler Egan, who was national champion as long ago as 1904 and 19C5. The betting odds slightly favored the Oregonian. There was a feeling that “Doc’’ was too tough a golfer at match play for an opponent of Johnston’s diffident disposition. Dr. Willing takes pride in coming from the great northwest, where men are men and 18-incb putts are not .conceded. o — 1 During the past 20 years the pass has livened up football and introduced more open field work. It opened up the old, dangerous close play. Now it has become a reliable weapon of attack. With it a light-weight team can compete on even terms with a heavier eleven. It requires no little amount of training and is spectacular to see. There are three kinds of passes used in the modern game of football. They are: the forward, the backward center and the lateral pass. The latter pass has become quite popular within the last few years although it is a comparatively old idea. Our latest rule changes have complicated the work of the officials in the game, but have made things safe for the coach. Fumbling in passing is now protected. Complicated plays involving one of the three types of passes are now protected in case they fail in execution. It takes a great deal of skill to be be able to shoot the pigskin high, out of reach, and to the right player. The passer must work fast, pick out his man and throw the ball. A pass must be timed. If the catcher is running, the ball must be aimed a little ahead of him. Wind direction and velocity Play an important part in the passing game. A forward pass was once completed for a 70-yard gain, but this only happened once. Many passers, however, are able to throw the ball accurately 40 to 45 yards. Passing calls for cleverness on the part of the catcher as well as the thrower. Receiving the ball and tucking it away under the arm without a fumble is worth 50 per cent of a forward passing play. she lateral pass is used mostly on •nd run plays. The ball is not passed more than two to ten yards, and >s thrown under handed in a low plane. The lateral passes usually are thrown backward to the runner. The backward passing of the center has become an art. The pass must be highly timed and developed. The ail is thrown in much the same manner as it is in other passes.

NOTRE DAME IN HARDSCHEOULEs NO HOME GAMES Rockne Has Wealth Os Material For Peripatetic Eleven South Bend, InJ„ Sept. 7. —(U.R>— A wealth of material, including II letter winners, will greet Coach Knute Rockne at Notre Dame when he calls his horde of football candidates together for their Initial practice. Although Rockne has maintained his usual pre-season silence, it generally is believed that he is well pleased with this season’s outlook. Rumors that the Irish will present a different style of attack on the gridiron this year appear well founded inasmuch as Rockne while speaking before various organizations intimated that "maybe the Notre Damb form is wearing out.” However, the rambling Irish, as in the past, are expected to be principally a light fast team, banking their offense on passing attacks. Rockne will be well fortified at the

O'Brien, u native of California, and admittedly one of the beat paws receiver* tn the game, snared the pans that enabled Notre Dame to defeat Army last aeaaon. Veterans at Tackle Poeta Twomey and Donoghue, veterans, will be the bulwarks of the line at tackles. Both are heavy and fast with plenty of experience. However, there are several candidates who are expected to make the veterans bustle. For the guards, Rockne probably will choose Cannon and Law, both able performers for two years. At center "Big Tim" Moynihan, Chicago, who was a constant worry to rival centers last season again will be In harness. The huge center who was forced fro mthe Southern California game with a fractured wrist, is expected to be understudied by Nash, able youngster. in the backfield the Irish are expected to have its usual array of well balanced talent. Carriedo and Gebert, quarterbacks, are expected to rate with the best in the country. Especially is this true of Notre Dafe field generals since the days of Stuhldreher. Both are able passers.

Priest was barely conscious as “Red” Emery, whom only a few weeks ago he had rescued from a similar fate, curried ills limp body up through a tunnel which had been sunk beside the well shaft.
