Brt T-v ANOTHER WAGNER PITTSBURGH'S IDOL Like the Illustrious J. Hubert Bears Brunt of Burden in Upholding Smoky City's Pride on Field of Sports BY JIM mT has been quite a flight of time since Bill Shakespeare peeled off that dope about "what's in a name," but as Bill is widely credited with being quite some writer in his day, we will probably hare to excuse Bill for pulling a fliver in this on the grounds that he was writing for different age, in which the facilities for observation were more or less hampered. For instance, Bill never enjoyed the advantage of getting a slant at the batting order of a big league ball club or the line-up of one of our modern, implements of destruction, known as a football team. Had Bill been granted this privilege he would have probably noted with more or less care that when, the thing works down to the great, throbbing world of sport a name is apparently replete with vast potentialities.

He would have observed that the name of Collins is used almost exclusively for featuring in base paratively obscure eleven, was selected as end on the firt team of at least eevdix All-American selections, outstripping in this respect such star ends as ball games, whether it be Eddie, Ray, noticed what the name of Baker in a line-up means, whether it be in peeling the epidermis off the pill in a world's eeries or kicking th hide off a foot- ball for' his dear old Alma Mater, and he would have witnessed the fact that the entire fate of the municipality nf Pitt.shnrsrh in the WOrld of SPOlt hangs largely on the magic name of Wagner. Whadda va mean there nothing in a ime? Take this Wagner case for in- stance, which is what we have been try- uptie. Two weeks later Wagner almost ing to work around to anyways. Any alone broke up the marvelous Indian at-reader addicted to the habit of perusing tack that later swamped Dartmouth and Ufa. the festive box score knows what a cer- wa3 declared by eastern critics to be the tain Wagner person whose front handle strongest attack of the year, and is Honus has been doing for Pittsburgh through his wonderful following of the in the matter of keeping that smoky ball was enabled to fall on a fumble hamlet on the baseball map for the by Welch, of Carlisle, on the Indians' past two or three hundred years.

But eix yard line, and thus make possible not having a Wagner to uphold civic the winning touchdown that beat Car-pride on the football field where Honus lisle by a score of 12 to 6. When a left off on the diamond each fall, Pitts- week later, October 25, yagners great burgh had never succeeded in cutting individual defensive game and his Sam much big league ice in the college game. White methods of pouncing on a loosely Whenever she did succeed in hooking bounding ball and racing down an open rtoaf Viitr colleire on her schedule of field for touchdowns enabled Pittsburoh to nae nis pet nooDy, so ne quotas nu-ton in the last issue of the American Golfer and comments on the significance of such outcome, in the native lair of the foursome. At the last vote taken it was about half and half as to four somes and four-ball matches between Philadelphia, New York and Boston. If memory is not at tault, tne uuakers, along with the Pittsburghers, strongly preferred four balls, New York was about equally divided and Boston almost unanimous for foursomes.

The Hub is not likely to speedliy change its attitude, for pro- English ideas are more deeply rooted in the modern Athens than any other district, and, having won hands down last fall, will naturally be inclined to let well enough alone. The Metropolitan team received such a pummeling last fall that its members will be receptive to argument, ana it is a safe prediction that eventually the Metropolitans will join xianua wnn jrennsyivamans ana outvote the Massachusetts players two to one. Unfortunately from the way Travis approached the subject, an outsider would tnmk tnere was only one side to the question. That several arguments could be brought forward in favor of toursomes was shown by those who ranged themselves against Travis, more probably for the sake of "knocking" the veteran than because of decided nreier- ence either way. What a pity that personal squabbles should be brought into 8ucrra case.

In the near future, for the benefit of those who must read as they run, 1 will try to summarize the opinions on each side, which lacked brevity in their expressioin. The editor of the American Golfer further says that signs are not lacking of decay in interest over the Lesley Cup competition, but he makes the blunder of attributing it wholly to the retention of foursomes. Interest in the fixture for a couple of years past has not been nearly as well sustained as in the women's annual tri-city battle. A leading reason is the inconvenient date taken at the end of the busiest and most important month in the year, where it is crowded in like a baby between ltwo fat women in a street car. The October date should never have been shifted.

It would not have been, but for John Reed, lately out of college and fuller of theories than the average dog is of fleas. Being the elder son of the father of American golf," he probably felt it devolved upon him to propose something and the falling autumn leaves got upon his nerves. Why not have the affair set ahead a month, before the leaves had a chance to demonstrate the law of gravitation. That would at least forestall Nature. Enough sided with him to have the date shifted.

Going back to October would be best for all concerned. Old influences and ancient traditions in the sport are going by the board, on the other side, with a speed and certainty that can scarcely be believed in this country. The change is nothing short of a revolution that will within a few seasons, at most, undermine the Rules Committee of St. Andrews and place the accepted control in the hands of a more popular, up-to-date body that will rejuvenate golf the world over. Exactly the same forces are in operation on both sides of the ocean, Britishers, of the two being the more responsive today.

Most Americans are unable to comprehend that fact, because of the etolidness abroad until recently. It is because of such rejuvenation that the introduction of foursomes into the English Scottish team match has almost ended that deeply rooted classic. For a long time golf and billiards seemed to be incompatible, though many stars of the green table have, from the earliest days, been students of the royal and ancient sport. The past season, however, the tide seems to have turned. J.

B. Crookston, billiard-ist, was runner-up in the Western Pennsylvania amateur championship, after, being second in the qualifying round. Wilson P. Foss, of New York, tied for a leading prize in the seniors' famous annual handicap at Apawamis and then won on the playoff. George G.

Baxter, former Brooklyn borough golf champion, long excelled in certain phases of billiards and but for lack of time might nave aemonstratea that the two recreations, after all. are not like oil and wa ter, when it comes to combination.

The cause of the price Besides, the distance 85 miles from New York was deemed to be too far for best results, especially in spring and fall, when the train service is inferior. The Chicago clubs last month were obliged to take concerted action to prevent trade organization dates from conflicting with regular club fixtures. A similar move ehould have been made in New York long ago, but there is never any attempt in the Metropolitan district to untangle the. "golfing calendar. At a New Jersey course in September a trade club selected the very dates taken for the home organization's tournament and did not learn of the blunder until it was too late to change, so the whole trade affair- had to be called off.

Several hundred thousand dollars are given every year in trade organization prizes, nearly all such clubs having two to five competitions every season, if not one of them has a permanent place to lay its head. At that, many of them py liberally for the links they use, which money ought to be applied toward a permanent home. 'While most of them would prefer a change of scene, several have found it more convenient to rotate over the same courses, east and west, each year. There is an especially profitable field for a well managed public links near this" -city, and one would unquestionably pay close to such a large centre as Buffalo, after a year or two. Indeed, such facilities are sadly needed in all big city districts without public links.

The Salisbury course, at Garden City, the first venture of the kind in America, required two years before its success was assured, i After three years, however, it was able to charge $2 for. rounds on Sat urdays and Sundays. season the old Hollywood course, near Deal Beach, which came into the market when that club opened new links, was turned over to the public for a fee and as the turf was not allowed to catch the mange, the. promoters closed the year ahead. Westchester county has no abandoned left sufficiently intact, to be put into commission, but parties have their eye out in that direction.

Unquestionably the Quaker City fathers will see a. new light ere long, and again take up the matter of a public links, but that would not harm a semi-public course, well run. Indeed, a public links would help rather than hinder a pay-as-you-en-ter course, for an absolutely free carryall attracts too miscellaneous a throng to please real students of the game. Although the metropolitan district has three public links, there isn't one in the State of New Jersey, where there is more golf.itt proportion-, to its area than any other Commonwealth in the United States. Newark has been on the brink of a park course, however, for years.

i.i jBy declaring all golfers with a handicap- allowance of six strokes no longer eligible for the amateur championship, the national association has cut off three-fifths of the field, at one fell swoop, measured by the list of 1913. The formal vote, taken ten days ago, was inevitable since the overflowing entry list for last September title struggle was announced, being immediately predicted in this column. The edict will prove the toughest blow that players of waning ability have ever received, but it had to come, although five years ago such proclamation would have seemed out of the question. Of course, many of the six-stroke men will pull themselves into the five-stroke class. As it will be far harder, however, to climb from six to five than it was from seven to six, it looks cs if five strokes would remain safe for several seasons to come.

Who will be relegated into outer darkness by the change? The knife seems to have fallen most heavily upon players who only a few years ago were college stars. Former r4-incetonians include William T. West, Howard Gee, Chester Griswold and Dudley Barrows: Harvardites are Walter Ian, Edw. Clark, 3d, and Jlc-Ivim Hollins, and Yalensians: H.Jennings and Wylie Carhart, while from Williams is to be noted Clifford Dunning.

Such foungsters as Lynn Johnson, Chicago; Stewart Connolly, New York, and Reggie Lewis, Connecticut, also in the list, will be able to rehabilitate themselves, but probably not more than one man in four can regain the ground thus lost. What weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth there will be in private chambers when the new situation is comprehended. The stream of time is bearing lis all along at the same pace, though it may not always seem so. If you are seeking consolation, reading a few chapters of Gulliver's Travels will do perhaps more good than any other prescription.

Here is a bit of a Thanksgiving tale With golfing flavor that is appropriate to the holidays. The Glenwood Club, of Long Island, largely made up of members of the Crescent Athletic Club, of New York, offered a turkey as a Thanksgiving handicap prize. Lo and behold it was won by a bachelor. One of the benedicts thereat began to weep over his hopeless ecore, so the bachelor generously turned over the bird to the married mourner. The latter, not to be outdone, invited the bachelor to the 'feast, along with other contestants, until the board looked like a club barbecue.

To preserve the unities it had been agreed that the host phould figure as the real winner of the fowl. but. alas, one diner, who had not been let into the secret, gave the whole affair away broadcast in an unguarded moment. With so many fair guests at the table, too, the bachelor felt fully as flustered as tne nost. While, it seems to the average player that Walter J.

Travis has taken too much to heart the retention of foursomes in the annual tri-State matches, even going so far. as to keep out of the contest the last two seasons, it cannot be denied that the weight of opinion is steadily shifting in favor of four-ball matches. The matter has been brought to notice aeain bv recent editorial remarks of Har old Hilton, who lately took the helm of Golf Illustrated. He says the introduction of foursomes, two years ago, has had -the effect of almost killing the inter-' national team match between England and Scotland. Of course, Travis wasn't NASIUM John, Jimmy, Bill or Sam; he would have could dally with in the one brief Oc- tober or November afternoon.

Hubert en- abled University of Pittsburgh to hold the stronir AnnaDolis team to a. no-Rcore to defeat Cornell by a score of 20 to 7, Carl Williams, of Perm, one of the officials in the game, remarked, "there's the All-American end." In this Cornell game Wagner's great defensive work was instrumental in smearing the Cornell attack, in nddi- tion to which he once pounced on a blocked punt and ran sixty yards for a touchdown, and again picked up a Cor- nell fumble and raced through a broken field for forty yards and a touchdown. On November 8.

Wanner scored all the points that beat Lafayette by a 13 to 0 score, and again it was his Sam White nose for the ball that did it, recovering JQURNEAY SUCCEEDS YOUNG AS CAPTAIN Lou Young, who was re-elected captain of the University of Pennsylvania football team last week, resigned yesterday afternoon and at the new election held at 1 o'clock "Al" Journeay, big guard on this year's team, elected unanimously to take his place. The entire University had hoped that Young would be able to return to college next year and again lead the team, but yesterday "Lou" announced definitely at a meeting of the team which he called that would not return, and before sitting down he nominated Al Journeay for the position. It was seconded and nominations were closed, making Journeay's election unanimous. Ex-Captain Young told the men the necessity to work hard and get men out for football, and said the men should strike right now while the iron is hot. Captain Journeay asked the men for their co-operation in putting a good big crowd out for the team next fall.

Journeay comes from Leonla. N. J. He is 23 years old. weighs 187 pounds and stands six feet taJL This year he played right guard on the 'Varsity team and is noted as a steady, hard fighter.

This is bis third year of football at Pennsylvania, having played one jear freshman and two past years 'Varsity The men on the squad, while sorry that Lou Young cannot be back with them, are very pleased with their selection and think him a fine leader. The meeting was a surprise to the players, who all thought ex-Captain Young would surely return. After the session Journeay said: "I am proud of the honor given me, although I would very much rather have seen Young back again, for the team needs his I can say, however, right now that the Pennsylvania gystem will be followed during my term as captain and every man in college can feel that he will be more than welcome to come out for the team. No favorites will be played and the best men will get the positions."

Among these were Glen Warner, the famous Carlisle coach; Streit, fullback of this year's Princeton eleven: Al Sharpe, of Cornell; Bob Folwell, the old Penn captain, and others. J.

After graduating it. It; i. ol 1 Hfnonf. Watw- ner entered the University of Pittsburgh Medical School, from which he will graduate next June. Wagner is six feet tall and weighs 180 pounds, and besides being a football star is likewise a great baseball player and a star all-around athlete, and is credited with being the best student in his class and probably the most popular athlete Pitt has ever had.

He is pleasant and affable, a serious minded student, and his one great ambition is to become a better doctor than he is a football player. Though football practice at Pitt has been called every day for 3.30, Wagner absolutely refused to report until 4.30 because he had a class which kept him busy until that hour, and it is stated that the night before the W. and J. game in 1912 he studied until two o'clock on the morning of the game, then went on the field and staged his usual star engagement in the afternoon. Wagner is tipped to take the high honors of his class when he graduates in June, and it is such men as he.

He is a fine broken field runner and a marvel at following the ball, and although critics say that he has no "true form," violating many accepted methods of the game, he is a wonderful defensive player and always gets his man. A remarkable testimonial to "Hube" Wagner's individual brilliancy on the football field is the fact that, in spite of the natural favoritism always shown in All-American selections toward players who shine in the final big college games of the East, owing to the widespread attention attracted to their efforts.

Famous Trainer Leaves Stanford STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec. 13. "Dad" Moulton, for twenty-one years athletic trainer at Stanford University, will leave within a few weeks, he announced today.

His contract expires la May. a blocked kick for Pitt's first touchdown and grabbing a Lafayette fumble and racing down a clear field for the other score. As an illustration of how much University of Pittsburgh's success was dependent upon the individual brilliancy of "Hube" Wagner, take the Bucknell game. Wagner was sick and unable to play, being out. of most of the game, and as a result Bucknell, who was later beaten 70 to 7 by Annapolis, a team that had been held to a no score tie by Pitt, defeated Pitteburg 9 to 0.

"Whadda ya mean" there nothing in a came? It is doubtful if the individual brilliancy of any player of the year, not even excepting that of Charley Brickley, was such an important factor in the success of his team as was that of "Hube" Wagner to University of Pittsburgh.

Wise. Time of halves: 20 minutes. He probably came closer to being his whole team than a mere factor in its success. It is seldom given to a player on a small college eleven to attract such widespread attention as has the individual brilliancy of "Hube" Wagner, and had his lot been cast with one of the larger institutions of the east, where he would have figured in the big contests of the year, there is little doubt but that he would have written his name in the football hall of fame as high as that of Arthur Poe, Sammy White, Charley Brickley and the other immortals of the game. Wagner's success a football player has been largely due to the same abnormal "nose for the ball" that marked the playing of Sammy White, the sensational Princeton hero of 1911, but the Pittsburgh man shines more on the defense than did the Tiger.

Like Sammy White, GREEK CAPTURES Nick Gianakopolis, of Greek-American A. Wins Race and Time Prize Athletes from New York and New Jersey, together with the local runners, composed the field of entries that ran in the Southwark Catholic Club's annual run, held yesterday afternoon at Front and Tasker streets.

On the first trip around Joseph Sau-ters, of the St. Patrick's A. was in the lead, but the Greek Gianakopolis was running close behind. The crowd that thronged the line of race cheered the Greek as on the last lap he trotted' leisurely across the tape an easy winner.
