Comparison Made By Writer BLOUNT COUNTY IS ANXIOUS -jf, J-. had difficulty enough keeping straight down the fairways. With the development of thrsa strokes, tha resemblance of golf to billiards has increased. The same laws that permit tha veering of billiard hall from its normal course govern the hook and the slice. The draw la played in each ease tn similar fashion and ihe sureness of touch and smoothness of stroke Is essential to each game.

The surface over which the two games are played has a decided bearing on whether golf may be considered as scientific as billiards. In the nature of things, the sureness and mcety of execution attained in billiards can never be attained tn golf for the movement of a ball over turf cannot be ns well controlled or gauged as over a specially woven cloth stretched over the smoothest slate. But on the other hand the golfer performs In the face of difficulties the billiardist never ts called on to meet. In one thing the two games bear the closest resemblance that is In the alibis for failure to perform ihots. In each case the table is not level or the greens arc untrue, the cushions are slow or the fairway is soggy, the bil-liaid hpll has a bump or the golf ball has pk ked up a piece of mud.

In this respect there is scarcely any difference the truly scientific aspects of both games. Feflnamant crea'es beauty everywhere. It hi the groesness of the spectator that discovers anything like gross-ness in the object. BT YAI T1AT. Bv Leaned Wire te The Birnungkaai Kew.

Cepmtht, 19SA, by The mem tew Hews. NEW YORK, Oct. 28. Golfers today are loud In their claim that the royal and ancient game Is one of the two most scientific sports In the world. They concede the other post of scientific eminence to billiards.

Tha claim is vigorously denied by the tennis enthusiasts who assert that skllltul tennis players do practically everything with a tennis bsil that a golfer dees. with a rubber cord bellet and many things that a billiardist accomplished with the Ivories and at the same time strike the bell not when la at rtst but while it it traveling at top speed. There Is a decided analogy in the action of the ball in all three game and this is ihe more marked since Jock Hutchison became so adept in putting reverse English on some of hit approach shots at goal and hundreds of Other golfers strove to equal him. Thl variety of golf shots undoubtedly has increased in late years. Do not make the mistake of thinking that Jock invented the reverse English shot because It baa twen played for years but Hutchison holds a ruling power over a golf ball and now and then he makea the pellet perform atunta that are uncanny.

When golf was first played in th United States, play-era knew little alout making atop shots." They were well pleased If they could pull off "keep going shots. Few attempted then to delilieralelv pull or slice a shot. Thev a tl BLOUNT COUNTY HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM. Back row, left to right. Davidson, end; Roblnett, guard; A.

Special. Sixty minutes of the best football ever played by Spring Hill College gave proof of their superiority over Loyola I'nlversity, and sent the "wonder team back to New Orleans vnth a 14-0 defeat. Played in almost midsummer heat, the game assumed more the aspect of a battle than a contest. Maxon Field was practically a desert, Judging by the clouds of dust that were raised after every play. From the beginning.

It was evident that two more evenly matched teams never assembled on any field In this section of the South. Loyola, sent into the conflict her best eleven, and whatever breaks which may have occurred during the four quarters of stormy play, were made by the hard fighting men In the heat of battle. The first session opened by the Crescent City aggregation receiving the kick-off, and punting to the Htllians In midfield. Here the oval was swayed bark and forth, punts were exchanged and neither team was able to draw Wood. Twice the Htllians made flpt down, and I-ovola.

Several times, however. they would attempt to approach it as far as the 25-yard chalk mark, hut invariably one of their backfield men would lose the pig akin on a fumble, and an alert Spring Hilllan would match it up and tear down the field.

It was on a break of this kind that resulted In the first tally made by Du-ootes team.

Last week the locals Journeyed to Anniston and were taken in tow by the Cadets there in a 24 to 0 strug tempt at a field goal, Gardere falling on the ball. Alabama stopped foyr attempts, bolding the Longhorns for downs. Alabama was going strong as the game ended, having made three first dywns and four yards in one try on her fourth. The game was bitterly fought with the Crimsons putting every thing they had in the fight.

Fumbling failed to take the starch out of the Alabama forwards. However, the heat caused Cooper and Dropst to have to withdraw. Both had to be helped from the field. Neither being able to get back Into the game. The Alabama forwards opened up holes in the Texas line that were large enough for four of Barnum and Bailey elephan's walking abreast to go through the holes.

Robertson's punting was a big factor In Texas' victory. He was not up to his standard In the Vanderbilt game, but he used good judgment in booting at the right time. His 14 punts averaged 38s yards. MeClintock did most of the bunting for Alabama, averaging 34.7. However, two short punts placed hla team In a very precarious position.

Alabama completed four out of 13 attempted forward passes for 76 yards, Texas working two passes out of five for 31 yards. Each intercepted otic. Alabama gained 80 yards through the Texas line against 45 for the Longhorns. Texans Run Ends. It was around the ends that Texas made most of her gains.

Robertson and Company grabbing off 76 yards, mostly front the stringy formation with a back upon the line. Alabama gained a measley five yards around Gllstrap and Moore. It was through no fault of Clemens and Newton that Texas went around the ends, should say cutting back through tackles. It was the fault of Alabahaa secondary defense and the line failing to shift for the Texas was thrown for a loss of 28 yards. Alabama lost 13 yards.

Texas made nine first downs to Alabama's six, Alabama making five of her downs In the last half. Texas lost 35-yards. in penalties. Alabama fumbled seven times, recovering twice. Texas fumbled twice, recovering once.

Hovater, what time he was In the backfield, looked like one of the "Bama" best backs. He picked his openings and picked1 them quick. With the exception of Hovater, Mc-Cllntock and Bartlett were Alabama's best ground gainers. Bluesteln.

Robertson, Moore and Gllstrap played the most consistent game for the Texana Bluesteln was the outstanding man of the Texas defense. He was hard to move back, and broke through time after time and got the Alabama backs. He used the holes opened up by Bama' linemen to good advantage. Gllstrap and Moore were down under, every punt, getting their ynan with Clock like precision. Both are vicious tacklers and leave their feet to stop the runner.

Roberson Good. Roberson gained more ground than any two other men. His long runs enabled Texas to score twice after poor handling of the ball had given his team the chance. He Is one of the best all round kickers the South has produced In many a day. Texans claim they have two more better than the big husky giant.

Robertson is a slow starter, but once under way Is hard as a switch engine to stop. Longhorns can thank Mr. Robertson, for their victory, Alabamians can bemoan the fact that their backs don't handle the ball according to Hoyle.

Poor Judgment in handling punts, and fumblinrj. cost the Alabama Crimsons their third Inter-sectional game with the University of Texas on Clarke field Saturday afternoon, 19 to 10. Alabama's line, from end to end, plajed a magnificent game, earning the admiration of every spectator present. The husky plunging Longhorns were never able to make a substantial gain through the line, most of their gains being made from a stringy formation with one of the backs upon the line, the backs going out and cutting back. Alabama failed to shift for the play.

The Crimson forwards outplayed the Texans upon the line, but it availed them nought with their backs handling the ball in a loose and uncertain manner. Three fumbles, une of a punt, pf.aoed. the Texans In scoring position, the Texans taking' advantage of the opportunity by shoving over a touchdown the first time, and then putting It up to Mr. Robertson to place the ball between the uprights from a placement kick on the other two occasions.

Texas beat Alabama 10 tor 0 in 1902, and 20 to 0 In 1915. The Longhorns tried Alabamas granite line, Robertson being forced to. punt out of danger. Baty chose to handle the punt and fumbled the ball, the Texans swooping down on the ball on Alabama's 30-yard line. The Longliorns made first down on four savage bucks off tackle.

Robertson dropped back and made a bee-line pass to Gardere for 15 yards. Gardere running 5 yards for the Texans' first touchdown. Rob-, ertson kicked goal, tying the scorer The Longhorns scored their second touchdown following an exchange of three punts, a 20-yard Alabama punt placing the ball on Alabama's 44-yard line. Robertson swung 35 yards around Alabamas left flank, cutting back In off tackle. The Texans worked the ball to Alabama's l-foot line, it requiring four vicious bucks to carry the ball over, culp placing the oval Just about two Inches over the goal line.

Robertson fail to kick goal, the period ending for owing his attempt to place the ball between the posts. Second Period Battle. Alabama while making one first down In the second period, keeping the Longhorns from chalking up a first down, was unable to hold possession of the ovat within her own 35 yard line, a fumble by Hubert giving the ball to the Longhorns on Alabama's 33 yard line. The Crimsons braced, an exchange of punts giving the ball to Texas on the 35 yard line again. The Longhorns were unable to pierce the line and Robertson dropped back and booted a field goal.

Another fumble placed the Texans within scoring distance as the hal ended. The Crimsons came back strong at the opening of the third period, bucking the ball from their own 33 yard line to Texans' 33 yard marker in two first downs, Hovater being responsible for most of the ground was going In between his guards and tackles. The Texas forwards showed their best work of the afternoon in stopping yie drive on thfeir 30 yard line, Alabama being forced to punt after three un successful but awful close forward passes had failed. Texas was forced to punt out of danger and Alabama tried the hidden ball trick In midfield, Gllstrap slipping in and taking the ball from under the Alabama center's right leg. Robertson, the most consistent ground gainer of the game, got away around left end for 30 yards, reeling off a sparkling piece of broken field running.

Marley cut loose for eight, the Alalia ma line breaking up, the march.
