(Ml 1ft promise Voo'LL i BOBBY JONES TEUS VOU HOW TO PLAY GOLF' THE average golf enthusiast is continually on the look-out for some means of improving his game. If he despairs of being able to make better scores by increasing the skill which he handles his clubs, he will likely assemble an astonishing collection of odd-looking implements claimed by the manufacturers to be almost capable of playing the shot for him. Drivers which can neithei hook nor slice, iron clubs without a socket, to prevent shanking, and putters which of iCopynsot.

CLASS ABOUT HEAR SHS'S AMD res MO he hole, are some of the clubs of most good putters that certain kinds of clubs are more reliable under certoln conditions. For Instance, the Iron putter of medlnm weight seems to be more effective on fast keen greens, for with It the ball can be struck a firmer blow. For the sume reason It Is more reliable on putts of ten feet or less. This type Is certainly the niONt popular toduy In America where greens are small and very long approach putts are rate, Putters of wood and aluminum are splendid Implements for rolling a long putt up closo to the hole. With either it is practically impossible to impart side spin or under-spln to the ball, and hence the putt always runs freely and easily over the green.

This Is a splendid feature when the surface is rough or heavily grassed and slow. These putters are treacherous; however, on very short putts because It is difficult to hit with them both firmly and gontly. The center-shaft putter is usually of an upright lie. It is amazingly effective from short distance. When the ball lies two yards or less from the hole, it is comparatively easy to keep the putter swinging on line with the hole.

But this upright position Is some-limes embarrassing to the free swing of a long approach putt. It Is this difficulty I believe which has been largely responsible for the almost complete disappearance of tho. Schenectady and Travis' models. I should mime the five best putters in golf today about as follows: Hngen, Oulmet, Fir-ii'll, Eustace Storey and George Volgt, Fnrrell and Voight use aluminum, the other three Iron.

M'foH Book WANJT THI.S MY Darling Angler Lands T-out Looking Like a Shark OED BLUFF, Oct. 27. Being a veteran angler of many years and believing himself well acquainted with every variety of fish in Tehama county, Earl Goodrich, local garage foreman, ran into a queer fish that stumped bim. Earl was pulling 'em out of a little six-foot stream, Elder creek, with regularity. In one hole he did not like the way the spinner was lying, so started to draw it in when "wham," something hit the line.

His eyes popping, he saw a big trout, evidently the daddy of them all in the creek, at the end of the line. After shout 5 minutes' scrap he drew him in. The trout was speckled like a Loch Leven, but had a month like a shark. A wicked line of teeth decorated his lower jaw, which was fully six inches long. The head was nnlike any other trout.

It weighed four and three-quarter pounds. HighschqdL ATHLEIES Tackling seemed a lost art with the Berkeley Yellowjackets Friday. Lafayette Gould, giant Hayward fullback, twice Intercepted "Chilly" Bertoli's passes and slipped through the hands of four Berkeley would-be tacklersi Coaches Tommy Fitzpatrick and "Dink" Rodriguez of Roosevelt and McClymonds, respectively, were on tho sidelines at the Tech Oakland game. As both their teams have played Oakland and neither has met Tech, they Were evidently there to solve the latter's powerful attacking methods. Coach Lee BIssett furnished them little In the way of trick plays upon which to hinge a defense, relying on straight power and "breaks" to earn victory.

Don Bird, acting captain of the University squad, and guard, was the most consistent tin kler of punt receivers in the Fremont game. He nailed the man with the ball nine times In ten punts, each time throwing him for a loss. Perfect interference In nearly every play gained considerable yardage for the Fremont Tiger. On the occasion of Bert Williams' 50-yard run to. A.

well, half; Jim Murphy, full, and Charlie Mason, quarter, formed a solid wall which turned back half of the University squad in its dash to the goal. Manuel Lamb, Hayward halfback, played more than two-thirds of the game against Berkeley, despite the fact that he had been confined to his bed with Influenza for four days previous to the gam. He was an outstanding star with his ball-carrying and plunging. He almost fainted after the game. Glen Crouch, half-mile run record-holder and McClymonds Warrior end, shared line honors with Dan Traverls against San Leandro In blocking Pirate punts and tackling.

Jack Brown at guard was clever, as were Jimmy Jones and Manuel Gonzales, teaming together at tackle and guard, respectively. Forty-nine players saw service For Tech against Oakland Friday, and forty-two were used by Coach Elwood Hess of 'McClymonds against San Leandro. Otis Higglns, coach of the last named squad, utilized his entire string of twenty-four uniformed players. Roosevelt's Rough Riders, drawing a bye Friday, were present at the Tech-Oakland game, due, no doubt, to the fact that they meet the former team next Friday in what is expected to be their hardest game of the year.

IN Talk of a third major league again fills the autumn air. It has been growing in volume since the world series and will probably continue until it dies away in the spring, when the big league clubs trek to their training camps and the show begins all over again. The third league gossip has different note In It this fall. A more sinister note, It would seem. There are Indications that the motive behind the present movement It not uplift of the players, as It has been so often In the past, but an attempt to smash the monopoly enjoyed by organix-d baseball so that the big time ga-ne may be extended to more cities and a wider circle of fans.

A man who asserted positively that a third major league is In process of formation made the following statement this week to the writer: "I really wish that the New York Tanks and the New Tork Giants would win the big league penants every year. That might wake up the magnates. That is almost what la happening, but Instead of a sane remedy, such as a third and perhaps a fourth big league, you hear the supposedly wise men of baseball suggest such a puerile remedy as breaking up the Yanks! The government of organised baseball should be changed to meet changed conditions. Why can't Kansas City, Kansas, have a ball team when there are men Milling to back It? The law should be changed to open baseball, not to close It." That is the most radical pronouncement that has been made by any individual who has plotted to overtnrow nttseomi um little league of his own. Heretofore It has been almost without exception the Intention of would-be philanthropists to organize a league for the' benefit of the "downtrodden" players.

This tlmd the Intent is to Shatter organized baseball, not for the benefit of the players but for the encflt of the patrons and for the extension of the game. The player argument doesn't carry much weight any more with the ian, when a ball-player can get a salary of D000 to $00,000 a year and perhaps $5000 extra for performing few days in a world series. Ballplayers nowadays have servants to run for them and writers to write articles for them. The fir revolt of any consequence In boscbull was based almost entirely on the alleged plight of the player. The players deserted the National league In a body, but the pub-lio didn't fall very hard for their sad tale.

Sentiment was back of all of the fight, together with a little shrewd seeking for publicity and there were those who profited hugely by the publicity. The outlaw players league, however, went overboard In a year, primarily because the players couldn't govern themselves. The fans did not patronize the games after the novelty had worn off. The men who are now talking about a third big league aro not wasting any tears over the "poor players." it is their intent to break down the barriers of the organization ot baseball so that if they wish to place a team In Kansas City, Kansas, they may do so whether or not there Is a club in Kunsas City, Mo. What now restricts Kansas City, Kansas from getting into big-time baseball is the so-called territorial allotment by which a team may not, except by permission ot the baseball magnates Invade the sacred precincts of a club that is a member of the organized baseball agreement.

These bustlers tor a third big league at the statement ol organised baseball that there are not enough players -to go around. They ask why It Is that each major league club arrogates to itself the right to claim forty players outright and make arrangements lor man more, when It takes only nine players on each team 10 play name of baseball. The first thing any new league would do is to try to get as many jood as possible regardless of reserve rule, optional claufc or any other of the conventions by which organized boseKi.ll binds itself. There might be no chance to ue Babe Ruth or Lou Gehring Itom the Yanks, or Larry Bcnti from the Giants, but rest aesurt.il th.it If a new league were attempted the fit st play would be to approach uch players and to get them it possiPP, for urposes of publii.iiv. Even it tip were not signed Up, the projected league might teal verv nit fled with the pub- licltj i -d for drying.

PROMISE BIG CAGE YEAR 12 Leagues Expected In Eastbay For This Season By FRANK LOWERY IF early season practice is an indication of prospects for the coming season of basketball play, the Eastbay will be gifted with the greatest year of cage contests that it has ever witnessed. Approximately 100 teams are now practicing weekly in the numerous gymnasiums of local schools. Close to a dozen leagues will be operated with two already in their second week of competition.

Foremost among the. leagues Is the East-bay league, which enters Its sixth year with the opening the season. According to Glenn Williams of the Oakland Y. M. C.

the East-bay league gives promise of being the biggest ever. Since organizing in 1922 the loop hae Increased rapidly each year. The first season found but seven teams competing, while the following season 27 were In competition. Then there were 38 the next season, followed by 48, and in 1027 the league reached Its highest standard when 88 basketball teams took part in the schedule. Squads of 130, 145 and unlimited poundage were, represented.

The first meeting of league, officials will be held within the next two weeks and entry lists will be received by Glenn Williams at the Y. M. C. starting December Play will begin the first week In January, according to present plans. The Industrial Athletio league will have an entry list of at least 30 teams and play apart from the Eastbay loop.

However, winners In the Industrial race will bs eligible for competition In the finals of the Eastbay league. Teams or the Industrial league will be divided into three sections, according to ranking received following performances In practice games. According to George Vestal of the recreation department, the Industrial entries will be ranked In classes "AA," and with the latter class containing three divisions. Six teams wilt he represented in each division of each class. Alameda county parlors of the N.

S. W. have been playing a league schedule of games for sew eral weeks. Six teams are entered and Will comuletn the anhednln he. Tore either the Bastbay or P.

tlcally every member will enter one of the leagues proposed for local teams. Eastbay y. members will compete In their annuel scliedule of games. In the past Oakland Institute No. 6, which is coach.

'd by John Qulnn, has taken the championship three consecutive years. This year competition promises to be keener. Berkeley teams, having played independent basketball in past enter the Eastbay league for the first time this year. Numerous Industrial as well as private teams -will enter. Sunday schools of Oakland are already busy playing a.

schedule of games which includes more than a half dozen teams. The schedule will end before the big leagues open, thereby allowing all teams to enter. Banks of Oakland win again hold their league In conjunction with the Eastbay league, ac- cording to present ilans. De Molay teams of Alameda county will also compete In three weights. Local sporting goods establishments have announced the bodkings of 30 to 50 teams for practice games.

Many of these teams will enter leagues being organized by the various stores Don Brothers, Oakland head of the P. A. A has declared that the league will be far better this year than at any time In the past, with many more entries in all classes Brothers Is also planning the forming of an Independent league which will embody a group of fast teams composed largely of former basketbaU stars of local schools.

A field goal from the 10-yard line in the third period by Dave Lowry, subbing for the injured Mike Miles at fullback, gave Princeton a 3 to 0 victory over Cornell before a crowd of 40.000 spectators today. After battling through a scoreless first half, both teams opened tip with everything they knew in the third period. Cornell carried the ball to Princeton's 20-yard line early in the period on a forward pass and two fake plays through center, but' lost the ball when Dietrich, Cornell halfback, fumbled and Hockenbury, sub Princeton tackle, recovered. Requardt, Princeton halfback, broke away for a 20-yard run, but Cornell stiffened and the Tigers were forced to kick, and Strub-Ing, Princeton quarterback, ran the punt back to Cornell's 40-yard line. A forward pass, Lowry to Requardt, gained 17 yards, but Cornell halted Princeton in the shadow of the goal and Lowry dropped back to the 10-yard line and made his successful place kick.

United Press Staff Correspondent.

LINCOLN, Oct. 27. Nebraska broke its "jinx" and defeated the Missouri Tigers, 24 to 0, before more than 36,000 spectators. The Hqskers shoyed the Missouri line out of the way for long gains and successfully grounded a barrage of passes that the Tigers tried When they got behind. It was tho first Nebraska victory In the past four years and made tho Huskers as leaders in the race for the first Big Six conference title.

The Huskers first scored In the opening period when Missouri fumbled and Nebraska recovered twelve yards from tljys goal. "Kqb" Itussell, Kansas boy playing quarterback, took the ball on a play straight through center that was good for 11 yards, Howell put it over for the first score. Missouri made good use of her forwnrd passes, and It was these In the second quarter that kept Nebrnskn backs busy and kept the ball In lluskcr territory a great part of the time. The longest unss came at the start of the period when lijars tlicw the ball 27 yards to Brown, putting the ball on the Nebraska 17-yard line. The Huskers stiffened, however.

Farley Intercepted another attempted pass on the Nebraska 8-ya'rd line, and Wltte started a march In the opposite direction with a 9-yard gain through center. In the third quarter, after a poor 20-yard punt by Byars, ltuewll slipped through center for a gain of 14 yards. Wloan was called In to replace Wltte and lie lifted a perfect drop-kick for a field goal from the 28-yard line. After Howell's long run for a score at tho start of the fourth period, Couch Kineet E. Harg began substitution.

Sloan remained In the game, and with but three mlntltes to play he made a run of 26 yards, another of 14 yards, and he threw the pass to Krahtn for 7 yards and the final touchdown. Nebraska 24. Missouri 0. "Blue" Howell, Nebraska fullbnck, made two touchdowns for the Huskers. He brought the fans to their feet In the fourth quarter when he started on an off-tackle buck that developed Into a 32-yard run to Hie goal.

Fremont is following the Tech Bulldog with a onejoint difference while Roosevelt dropped into fourth place through inactivity.

University Is fifth with one win, while San Leandro and Oakland share cellar honors. Tech has an opportunity to overtake the two point lead held by McClymonda when the latter rests next Friday with a bye. Roosevelt plays Tech at Tech on the same day apd the latter squad la expected to emerge the victor. Coach Lee Blsset of Tech expreses no anxiety at having Fremont on the heels of his squad in the standings. This latter outfit has shown just enough ability to overthrow the weaker members of the league and achieve a tie with Roosevelt.

Two more games conclude Fremont's league activities, one next Friday with San Leandro at Fremont and another two weeks later at Tech with the latter eleven. Dopeeters pick Fremont to out winner in the first contest but on the short end in the second. If Roosevelt can overthrow University and San Leandro there remains but 'this Friday's' game with Tech to even its standings with Fremont, resulting in a third place tie. University hae an opportunity to step into a fourth place tie with Roosevelt In the coming round of play by defeating Oakland at McClymonda. Oakland has improved since jts opening game with Fremont, A wide margin victory over Roosevelt by Tech would focus attention upon the McCly-monds-Tech game a week later.

This should prove the deciding game of the league as both elevens appear headed, with the exception of this set-to, for a consecutive string of victories. Tho following week, the final of the schedule, brings both Into easy contests which should not alter their records. Tech has been gradually shaping its offensive for the McClymonds game and possibly for the O. A. L.

pennant. It would be its first championship since 1925, McClymonds wrestling it from them in 1926 vlth a 26 to 13 victory. Last year, Tech held the champion warriors to a one touchdown tie, finishing second in the race. Interest in the Alameda County Athletic league games will center on Piedmont and Berkeley grldders at Piedmont Thursday. This Is the annual 'big game' of the county conference.

Hayward again plays host, entertaining Alameda's Hornets Friday. Performances to date favor Piedmont. Coach Jimmy Hole's Berkeley Yellowjackets played raggedly against Hayward last Friday to lose 7 to 0, but It might have been due to a shift In the lineup which had not been fully This should be clicking by Thursday, but the lighter Yellowjackets may be no match for the powerful Piedmont offensive. Alameda Is as yet untried In league play, but Coach Chris Freeman has a formidable array of veterans which may give Hayward its second setback of the season. Centervllle, still under quarantine through influenza, draws a bye next Friday.

New Record Is Set By Tommy Blankenburg Tommy Blankenburg, the Athens Club's American breaststroke champion, last night set a new Pacific coast record in the furlong sailor style swim in a Pacific" association title event, at the Athens club pool. Ogden Driggs, another Athens club star, now swimming for Stanford University, won the P. A. furlong fre style title, in 2:29. The results were: 220 yard broaststroke Blankenburg (Athens); William Cundall (Stanford); Ten Nuys (Olympic club).

Oct. 27. Pomona College defeated Cal Tech, 7 to 6. in a bitterly fought game here today. Neither eleven was able to score until the final quarter when mis-cues by the respective teams permitted the opponents to register touchdowns.

Pomona converted after its touchdown while Cal Tech failed. In the last period, Gower, Pomona end, Intercepted a forward pass and ran 70 yards to his own 10-yard line. On the next play Captain Williams took the ball over for a score. Captain Williams kicked goal. When Pomona fumbled on Its own 40-yard line In the same quar- ter the ball went to Cal Tech.

The first play brought a pass. Muss to Crowder which permitted the lat- ter to sfe. Cal Tech failed to convert. themselves roll the ball into which many men will buy hoplngT rather. than believing that some Improvement mny be effected.

Of course, some of thess clubs in a measure produce the effect claimed for them. It Is conceivable that wind resistance may be decreased by design, or that a cer tain method of facing or of distributing weight may tend to cor rect minor iriuccuracles of hitting. liut the effect is never so great as the player has hoped It would bo, for lie invariably discovers that he still must piny the shot. In the field ot legitimate design putters perhaps vary more than any other clubs. Iron, aluminum, wood, gooseneck, straight socket, and center-shaft, are all widely different types and the golfer cannot resist trying a new one If he has ono or two bad days with tho old.

Tho putting department of the game requires more delicacy and control than any other. That elusive thing we call "touch" Is born only of complete mustery of the club, and a feeling of comfort, ease and confidence In its use. A man can never know his putter too well. I should always prefer a familiar club to a good one. Nine times out of ten a change from one type of putter to another will effect no lasting good.

The now one may work better on occasions, but consistency would be better served by sticking to the old one and by making friends with It. It is, of course, up to the individual to choose the kind of putter he wants. Tho design makes little difference so long as the balance Is good and the club Is easily handled, and the face is true, Whether the head be of aluminum. U'ood or iron is a matter of little consequence, speaking, although It has been the experience Jackie Fields Selected His Name in Big Hurry i l08 ANGELES, Oct. 27.

When-Jackie Fields came to Ens Angeles back In 192 1 from Chicago, his birthplace, he was only IB years old. i Prntnnlpp Tlovle was tile first man In town Fields wanted to see. He went out to old Vernon and waited all day to introduce himself. "You say you caine all the way from "Chicago to become a fighter," smiled Doyle. He was looking at a small boy who didn't weight 100 pounds.

"And the Jackie's real nanie Is Flnkcl-stcin. He showed even then he had a sharp little brain. Why Fin-Fink-Fields Jus.t Jackie Fields." stammered the kid who today is recognized as the greatest welterweight In the world. Jackie figured his name was too longTor a fighter, no out of thin aif he picked the name of Chicago's greatest merchant. Marshal Field.

"Well. Ave haven't any grasshopper class." said Doyle. "You go down to the Eos Angeles Athletic club and they will find out if you really want to become? a fighter." Fields had George Blake for his first tejicher at the club! His sparring partner was none other thun Fidel La Barba, another grasshopper" In size then. In 192,4 Fields and La Barba were selected at the Boston try-outs to go to Paris In the Olympic games. Fields won the amateur featherweight title and La Barba the flyweight.
