Show Gran f land Rice (Copyright, 1922, New York Tribune, Inc ; Trade Mark Registered. U. S. Patent Office) OCTOBER GOLF llov. can I play, when over the waj There's tbe flare and flame of the autumn woods" A flash of red with a golden spread And a hush where the ppirii of autumn broods" Ii lias wrecked my yame with the scarlet scar-let flame Of the maple leaf and the golden oak. Which I'd rather Bee from the soggy tee Than the while ball off from 'lie driver's driv-er's stroke. It I miss a putt or 1 reach some rut. What does it matter when Just ahead The flaming trees in the swirling breeze Are blends of purple and gold :md red? And the mist and haze of the golden days Are far too dreamy for one to scrawl. Or bother much with his stance ana clutch And Ihc fickle whims of a foolish ball. If I slice or hook to a waiting brook, Or even top to the rough or mire, Tbe wind is keen and the turf is green, With every thicket In sight on fire. The season wanes where the gray la rains Will soon turn into a driving snow. But I look ahead to the gold and red And never care where the ball may go. SATURDAY'S PRIZE MENU. Intersex! ional Chicago vs. Prince-J :ton; Georgia Tech vs. Notre Dame, '. Harvard vs, Dartmouth; Yale j va. Army; Penn State vs. Syracuse:' Navy vs. Penn. West Minnesota vs Ohio State. 1 Michigan vs Illinois. Herein you have the eight leading contests that feature next Saturday's ' card in three main football sections, J with a flock of earnest coaches put-j I ting on finishing touches for the va j ' rlous drives. 1 Saturday, closing out October': menu, will -asiIy be the largest day of the campaign to date, where more ;than one hitherto unbeaten eleven will I Uike its first flop. The two interactional contests wllF be unusually good, although Princeton Isn't granti d any vivid chance against j Chicago's powerful machine Georgia, 1 Tech and Notre Dame, with the power i j and speed or their attacks, will bo a I leading feature, and while Notre Dame J I Is strong, Georgia Tech has developed la habit of smearing even the headlln ers upon Georgia soil NO EASY PICKING It would seem thl6 week that one must put the Dope through a rigorous scrimmage to have it In shape for Sat-1 urday's selections. The Charley horse and the sprained 1 ankle developed by the Dope ten days ago has now disappeared and hie Nibs should be in the pink when the final word is thrown out upon civilization. PJght now the picking is that Chi-. cago will beat Princeton and that Har 1 ard will stop Dartmouth, but Yale j has a big war under way with the Army and the lsBue between Penn State and Syracuse is extremely close. It remains to be seen Just how far the Navy can maintain her margin over the revived Red and Blue of Penn, but Just at this moment the Navy looks to be 1 up. SOUTHERN FOOTBALL Speed, power and general football ability was never more widely developed devel-oped through the South. Georgia Tech, centre, Vanderbllt, Auburn. Carolina, Car-olina, Virginia. Georgia and others, despite their comparative numerical strength, have all moved to high plateaus. plat-eaus. The showing many of these teams have made against the strongest elevens elev-ens In th east and west la remarkable when one figures that in the Btudent roll call they are frequently outnumbered outnum-bered five and six to one And as a . rule the first four weeks of their les- son leave them training in temperatures tempera-tures entirely too high for football. Also, they are the ones that do most of their playing 1000 miles or more away from home. 1 " "To help settle a belated argument." I writes A. W. F.. "who was the main I hero of the world's series?" We should split the chaplet of orchid blossoms between Heinle Groh and Frank Frisch. "How do you account for the strength of mid-Western football?" inquires in-quires R. H. K. First exceptionally good, material, unusually big. strong and fast. Second, such coaches as Knute Rockne, Bob Zuppke. "Hurry-Up" "Hurry-Up" Y'ost. Jack Wilce. A. A. Stagg. Richards, Howard Jones, etc., who arc-not arc-not only great leaders, but who, in ad I dltlon, know football all seventeen I ways up, down and across. No one ; section has ever known a greater clus-1 clus-1 tor of instructive genius. "Battling" Siki announces that he 'has quit training on absinthe. This is at least a slight concession to some ol the more modern training systems j which rarely ever advocate absinthe I as a dally inhalation. Slki can't understand why a victory over Joe Beckett won't lead at once to I a match with Jack Dempsey. He ; .should know by now that a victory' over Joe Beckett doesn't mean anything any-thing at all except a victory over Joe Beckett, which doesn't oven call for a lighter absorption of absinthe. |
