McCALLUM. T'S a_cinch that the golf course of.| the Indian Spring Club will be no toy layout when Horton Smith and Leo Diegel hook up next Tuesday afternoon against the two mas- todonic _hitters of local golfdom—J. Monro Hunter of Indian Spring and Glenn Spencer of Baltimore. Plans were in the making today to stretch | the course out to its maximum length of 6,577 yards in order that all the best golf in the quartet of professionals will have to be called into play if they would approximate par. Arthur B. Thorn, president of the Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers' Association, which is sponsoring the exhibition, declared today it is the wish | of the organization that the course be | stretched out to its maximum length in order that the public may be assured of a real test of the game. Not that Indian Spring under any | conditions is not & good test, but Thorr: explained that all four of the players in the exhibition match are drivers of | | that Spencer drive first for the local combination. This strategy should give | Hunter, with his intimate knowledge of | the course, the advantage, for he can play his tee shot in a manner that de- | pends on what his partner does. | The match is certain to be a fine con- | test and it is by no means sure that| the colors of Diegel and Smith will not be a bit droopy after they have lashed shots with Hunter and Spencer. The | only fly in the ointment there is that | Diegel has acquired the winning habit in Maryland, knows Indian Spring like | a book and has a persistent fellow | named Horton Smith as his partner. Anyhow, it will be worth two bucks of any man’s money, not only to see the match, but to_be sure that a little | family down in Richmond will not suffer for the bare necessities of life. All the | proceeds of the contest will go to the | family of Bobby McWatt, former Co- | lumbia pro, who was seriously injured. | Straight Off Tee ILLIAM G. ILLCH, chairman of the Town and Country Club golf committee, will take the place of Max Weyl in the exhibition match to- morrow at Town and Country Club, which will be the piece de resistance of the fleld day of the club. ‘Weyl has telegraphed from Chicago that he will not be able to be on hand. Tich will pair with Arthur B. Thorn, the club pro, against Fred McLeod of Columbia and Howard Nordlinger, one of the better amateurs of the club. ‘The Town and Country Club match will be the first important competition ove? the revamped course, which has been changed by utilizing different tees on 16 of the holes. Since the course was changed Thorn has registered a 69 over the layout, which stands now as| the record. Fred McLeod may trim this mark down a stroke or two, or Thorn himself may get hot and beat it. It is not likely either of the amateurs will better this mark. Thorn yesterday started with two birdies and two pars in & match with Gilbert Hahn, but was not able to beat his 69 mark.

BY EDDIE BRITZ, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. TLANTA, Ga, August 9.—Al through the South they are clearing the track for the in- :Emt!lugl{ foot ball game be- 'ween Yale and Georgia at Athens on October 12. ¥ clared the date a legal holiday and nearby conference schools are arrang- ing their schedules so that their regu- lar customers can view the first Southern invasion of the Eastern Bull- dog without missing anything at home. Georgia Tech has moved its confer- ence engagement with the North Caro- lina Tar Heels up to Friday, October 11, and now comes word from Auburn that the Florida-Auburn game at Mont- gomery also will be played on Friday out | of deference to the Athens inter- | sectional event. | ‘The occasion for the coming of the Yale eleven is the dedication of Georgia's | new stadium.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, August 9.—Just what happens when two bulldogs prepare to mingle on the grid- iron is made evident by the fact that the Georgia Legis- lature has just declared October 12 & State holiday. ‘Thus will be marked and memorial- ized the first game which any of the former big three of foot ball—Yale Harvard or Princeton—has played South of Mason and Dixon's line. Upon this occasion Yale will be the invader and the University of Georgia outfit will collectively essay to play the role of Stonewall Jackson in repelling the Yankee onslaught. > In official pomp and general circum- stance this game will be by all odds the outstanding feature of the Southern season and one of the starred events of the national gridiron calendar. Gov, Trumbull of Connecticut will attend, and the governors of all States which contain Southern conference universi- ties are cxpected to be there. Yale wiil Jeave New York on Thurs-. day, October 10, in a special train via the Southern Railway and will occupy a floor of the Georgia Hotel in Athens. Win or lose this event is certain to leave the Elis with a pronounced Southern - complex and the writer does not feel that he is mistaken in his idea that this game will open the way to further Southern visits by important university teams from the East and Middle West. It is now known that in preparation for this contest the Athens bulldogs lay two early season games; fof in addition to the contest against Fur~ - man on October 5, Oglethorpe will come to Athens on September 28. Yale, meanwhile, will have had the Vermont game in which to try out her stuff. And whereas the Eli squad will not re- pory for practice, under her agreement with Harvard and Princeton, until September 15, Georgia will report on September 2. But the Summer weather which obtains in the South during this time makes it problematical whether or not this will prove an advantage or a handicap.

The top price at last night's auction, which _included thoroughbred yearlings from E. R.

Master-Charlie-Frickasef, shaft. He claims ordinary hickory shafts fast course conditions which probably will prevail it will be far more interest- ing if the hardest layout is put in play. | Course to Be Stretched. Normally the Indian Spring course measures about 6.300 yards—that Is, from the center of the middle tees to the middle of the putting greens. But Dick Watson, Indian Spring's talented greenkeeper, can stretch the course to 6577 yards by the simple expedient of placing the markers in the middle of the rear tees and putting the cups to- ward the back edge of the greens. And then, says -Dick, let the long hitters blast away with all their heavy guns. One interesting angle of the match is the possibility that the course record of 66, held by J. Monro Hunter, may | be in jeopardy when Diegel and Smith unlimber their artillery. Of coutse, the winnigg or losing of the match means | nothing to. either team, for the contest simply is an exhibition. But when four such players are dropped into a contest of skill, it does not matter whether any- thing hinges on the match. The natural instinct is to_win, and all will try to do just that. Personally, we lean to the Smith-Diegel combination to come out on top, for Diegel has the annoying habit of breaking out in a rash of bird- fes when he is pressed. But then so has Monro Hunter. It will be recalled that the Indian Spring giant was the whole show in the Compston-Boomer match of last year when he and George Dif- fenbaugh played the famed British pair to a tie. On that occasion Hunter shot a 68, and was helped on one hole by his diminutive partner. Starting play late in the Spring, Hun- ter only recently has found his game. He has been playing with drivers for several months and now believes he has found one to his liking. This one has & “tin shaft,” as he calls the steel ‘have too much torsion for that tre- mendous swing of his. The results he gets seem to prove this. but still he claims he can hit the ball 20 yards| farther with a good hickory shaft. The trick is to get a good one.

The committee will meet tomorrow to discuss certain detalls in connection with the holding of the tour- nament and to decide whether the sys- tem of qualifying the entrants in flights according to their handicaps, which nas been employed at Bannockburn for the past two years, will be continued this year. Under this system, players with handicaps up to 9 strokes are expected to qualify in the first flight and no other flight. Players with handicaps up to 12 are expected to make the sec- ond flight and are not eligible for a higher flight. The purpose has been to prevent intentional shooting of a high score so the player may qualify in a flight higher than his handicap rating. But Leo F. Pass, a member of the committee, holds that while the system has worked out well at Ban- nockburn, the fact that it has not been adopted by the other clubs brands it as not being overly popular. “The tournaments are affairs in which the golfers play to have a good time, and enjoy the game” Pass sald. “If they have to think of qualifying in the division to which their handicap rates them, it becomes somewhat of a strug- gle. And after all, I do not think there are many golfers around Washington who think more of winning a plece of silver than of the fun of the game.” The Bannockburn tournament wiil be the first to be played over the present course under regular rules. Heretofore the tourney contestants have been per- mitted to place the ball anywhere on the course except in water hazards. Last June the Bannockburn club put regular rules in effect and now the ball is being played where it lies.

The hero of this latest giant-killing exploit is 21-year-old Gregory Mangin of Newark, N. J., Georgetown University student, who ranks thirteenth among the players of the Nation. It is said of Mangin that he seldom has won a notable victory without losing the open- ing set, and his brilliant victory over Henry (“Bunny”) Austin, English Davis Cup ace, was no exception. Austin reeled off the opening set at 6—3 in a burst of five straight games, but Mangin rallied so strongly that the British internationalist was able to win only a solitary game in the next two ets. Mangin will need all of his remark- able court-covering ability, however, if he is to beat John Doeg in the semi- finals today. The brawny Californian | southpaw has had the Indian sign on Mangin thus far this year, beating him in the Nassau Country Club and Long- wood Invitation events earlier in the season. In the other half of the draw an in- ternational battle impends with Norman Farquharson, best of the Oxford and Cambridge University players, meeting Fritz Mercur, the Bethlehem Penn star, who is seventh in the national list. Doeg, Mercur and Farquharson all won their quarter-final matches in straight sets. Doeg trimmed Julius Seligson, 8—6, 6—2; Mercur outgeneraled Eddie Jacobs, Baltimore, 6—4, 6—4, and Far- quharson looked like a world-beater in toppling Berkeley Bell, the national By thelr success at Wimbledon and |the announcement that several dis-| intercollegiate champion, 7—5, 6—3. .
