Wind Dies Out and Golf I Title Lost to Duncan I A real heart-breaker in the way of tough luck golf shots was that of Oeorge Duncan in playing to the final green in the 1922 British open at Sandwich. Walter Hagen had finished with 300. Duncan coald tie if he could Hng up a 68. I George made a stupendous effort. He went out in 34, and, with the last iilne holes very hard, there being but 'one short one In the lot, he arrived Bt the sixteenth needing 2, 4, 4. He "got his 2 and first 4, and drove per-factly per-factly to the left in the last effort f that heroic battle. The wind was left to right as ;George prepared to play his second. "Just his shot," everyone said. Duncan trusted the wind to bring his ball around to the green. His !t-hot appeared perfect, but the wind played traitor. His ball didn't come around. It went into a shallow hoi-Jow hoi-Jow at the left of the green 80 yards ifrora the hole. I At the edge of the green, squatted in front of the encircling gallery, Ha-; Ha-; gen said to a friend : I "That's strange; I played my second sec-ond to that exact spot on my last I round, and I took a five. Are you isure he needs a four to tie me?" j It was a tense moment Hagen stood up. Then he sat down again. J Duncan clipped. He was five yards f short. He, too, took a five. Hagen was champion. . Princeton Hopeful The Princeton football team hopes to arhieve as much glory as its predecessor, prede-cessor, which won from both Old Nassau! greatest rivals, Tale and Harvard, although only three men of last year's team are In this year's iuad.

Lost 42 Games Jack Coleman still holds the record Jr the number of defeats sustained "J a pitcher in a single season. When Vc'n'"an !itchel Philadelphia In 1583. the first season that city was in the National league, he lost 42 ball games. It wna nnl otfinrothfr thp fcult of Coleman's pitching because his support was far from the best. Tbe Philadelphia club finished the eason wltb a percentage of J74. ive pennants In seven years I Other managers have won more pennants, but not In modern baseball history have they annexed that number num-ber of championships In such a space of time. Shades of Cap Anson and Ned Uanlonl So, perhaps the fans of New York will yet come to recognize Miller Huggins as a great manager. A powerful power-ful team of sluggers has tended to dim the glory of victory for him. But, who ,was it who put this team together? Lastly superintending superin-tending a team of stars is uot a sinecure. The photograph shows Colonel Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, as he appeared with Miller Huggins, Hug-gins, manager, at the Yankee stadium before the start of the world series. t JportingSauibs Never bet on a sure thing unless you can afford to lose.

Athletes at the University of California Cali-fornia generally are proficient In more than one sport, leading one to surmise sur-mise that athletes are born and not developed, although there are Instances In-stances too numerous to mention at Berkeley where men starred In only one sport and were unable to make the squads in another activity. Basket ball players at California show an aptitude for football, especially espe-cially In the wing and back field positions po-sitions where one of the main requirements require-ments is an ability to handle the football, both receiving and passing. This factor Is one of basket ball's essential requirements and the combination com-bination finds five of the Pacific coast champion quintet on the football squad. Track has contributed six men to the football squad, while Capt Frank Ribbel of the boxing team Is a formidable for-midable representative of the leather pushers.

Health Is Better Than Wealth, States Stagg Coach Alonzo Stagg, the "grand old man" of the University of Chicago, does not want to live to be more than eighty years old unless he can live "well and to capacity."
