PACIFIC COAST SEES CHANCE FOR NATIONAL AMATEUR GOLF MEET

BADGERS’ OUTLOOK GLOWING Wisconsin Has Seven Letter Man Available —Play Franklin Dec. 17. I:it Timex Special .MADISON, Wis., IVo. 10.—Competition is keen for regular berths on Wisconsin’s basketball five, and Dr. W. E. Meanwell, the Badger roach, is spending the greater por- . inn of each daily practice in shifting his cagers about to ascertain.the st powerful combination. Hevcn letter men from last winter's aggregation are in the thick of Hie battle for steady employment, and are finding the eagerness and ability of some half dozen sophomores rather disconcerting. These newcomers, chosen from the strong freshman squad of a year ago, are of Big Ten caliber and bid fair to make the going rough for the vets. As the Badger squad shapes up at is time, the personnel includes a pair of centers, four forwards and six guards. Plenty of Material Recent scrimmages with the yearlings have shown the Cardinal to he well advanced over this same date last winter. These skirmishes have proven, too, that Meanwell will face his conference slate with a team of ten regulars as a minimum, which will give him sufficient material for frequent substitutions. Ralph Merkel, who pilots the team the first semester, will have an opportunity to play in but five Big Ten games, and the majority of the Conference tilts are scheduled for the second semester. Rollie Rarnum, football and baseball man, will relieve Merkel of his duties as captain, with the latter's graduation in February. * Opener Next Friday Coach Meanwell will continue his policy of hard work until the opener here with Franklin College of Indiana on Friday evening, Dec. 17. Although the Indiana collfegians were not on the Wisconsin schedule last year, the previous two seasons the Franklin five took the Badgers into camp. Meanwell is out to avenge these setbacks, and is shifting his charges about in an effort to arrive at the most effective comI. nation for the opening game. I -?Y ATHERTON.

Far West Flirts With Links Classic—Von Elm Family Shines. IJy Jimmy Powers NEA Service Snorts Writer "They ain't doing right by our little Nell"—but they will. Meaning the U. S. G. A. after long years of flirtation with eastern and mid-western links is about to do the correct thing by its Pacific coast sweetheart, and honor the California school of golf by shunting the national amateur there in 1928 or 1929. All this is the aftermath of George Von Elm's sensational victory over Bobby Jones for the simon pure toga at Baltusrol. One cannot ignore a champion. That is why the boys in the know insist the national meet will go to the Pacific coast despite the yelping of the northern and eastern stars who will have much wrestling to do with long railroad ticket yardage. Golf Special Planned A special train from New York to Chicago, picking up entrants en route, is the suggestion already offered. And now how about and what about Von Elm? Blond, smiling, shy—he is the original "Nothing-10-say” bird who is the despair of every interviewer. 1-Ie always has had a haunting fear of publicity arid a distinct aversion to patting himself verbally on the back. No, ho cannot explain why and how he beat Bobby Jones, he says. Bobby is just the world’s greatest golfer, and Von Elm says it simply and sincerely. Von Elm’s father and mother, residents of Salt Lake City, Utah, have the distinction of having three sons who each hold golf championships. George, of course, holds the coveted national amateur championship. He once tipped the Utah State crown jauntily over one eyebrow, later the Pacific Northwest, Trans Mississippi, California and other titles, winding up with a berth on the Walker cup team. His Older Brother Leonard Von Elm, two years older than George, won this year’s Salt Lake City championship from a fast field that included the State's leading amateurs. He also holds the championship of the Ft. Douglas Golf Club. The latest Von Elm to capture a championship is Leroy Von Elm. He is just 18. Always reluctant to en ter the competitive field, he yielded to George’s coaxing this year and stepped out with a bang. He was third low in the city meet, won by his brother. Then came the Nib ley Clyb championship, and, by a curious coincidence, on the same day George was beating Bobby Jones at Baltusrol, young Leroy was beating his club field to cop the medal. He continued his drive to the finals, taking the championship in a great spurt, winning nine of the last fourteeen holes to finish off a 3 and 1 victory. That’s a high-powered gang of kids to have in one golf family. STAYS WITH DEMONS John F. (Shano) Collins will lead the Des Moines team of the Western League, against next season. He piloted the Demons to the championship this year, his first as leader of the team. Collins, it is said, was being considered as manager of the Boston Red Sox, but Bob Quinn's decision had been hanging fire so long that he decided to return to Des Moines. SCHAEFER TO EUROPE Till United Prefix NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Jake Schaefer, 18.1 balkline champion of the world, sails next week for Europe to take on the leading stars in France, Belgium and England. A man in Berlin, after using a telephone for eighteen years, has just been notified that his application for a telephone was improperly filled out.

Catcher Dearth tin A t Service rrriEVV YORK, Dec. 10.—A IJM I dearth nf catchers has | A " ( struck the major leagues, me supply of stars at that position is in no way in keeping with the demand. During the past season all big league scouts were given Instructions to pay particular attention to promising catchers. However, only a very limited number of bush league backstops were considered good enough to warrant a trial. Two veterans, Ray Schalk and Muddy Ruel, are still the most valuable catchers in the American League.

the defeat of Notre Dame by Carnegie Tech and the end of the University of California regime in Pacific Coast football; the defeat of Bobby Jones in the American amateur golf championship. Walter Hagen's victory in the professional golfers’ championship and the success of the American team in defending the Davis Cup against France were two of the few performances that ran according to schedule. Considering, however, what the French players did to the Americans in the national chnmjdonships it might be recorded as a surprise that the Americans won the Davis Cup. From a - financial point of view and from general interest shown, the outstanding events of the year were the heavyweight championship fight between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney; the Army-Navy football game in Chicago and the world’s series games in St. Louis. The big fight drew 133,000 spectators and more than $2,000,000 and the Army-Navy game drew 110,000 spectators and $1,000,000. The game between Ohio State and Michigan drew 91,000.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH |for MIKE McTigue, in Second Youth, Proves Sensation in N. Y. Winter Boxing. flu Timex Special NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The rejuvenation of Michael McTigue, the creaking Celt, is the first sensation of winter boxing. Whether Mike has found the fountain of youth or has been monkeying with monkey glands, only the aging Irishman and his as tute little manager, Jimmy Johnson, can say. But the fact remains that McTigue is a better fighter today than at any time in his career and must be reckoned with in light heavyweight circles. A McTigue-Berlenbach bout should be one of tho big fistic hits of the season, and there will ho a lot i I wise money upon the oldster from the Emerald Isle. For Mike h - grown aggressive—something those who only saw him when champion will never believe —Mike has and* 1 veloped a left hook and Is not afraid to lead with it, Mike has decided ins hands are not so brittle after all and has discovered a knockout wallop in his accurate right fist. With Berlcnbach hack In the East looking for a lot of fighting, MeTigue presents himself as tho first candidate. Miko is duo for a return bout with Jack Delaney if he can dispose of and Tommy Loughran, while Berley himself might keep his weight down and attempt to regain his crown from the Bridgeport battler. A scrap between the Irishman and the Astoria Assassin, therefore, would pack any indoor arena this winter.
