HE L. 2¢ CADDIES GET FREE EATS AS JOBS FEW Persistent Bag Toters Shown Unusual Consideration at Chevy Chase Cluh. cook ring out over the “( : caddy yard of the Chevy Chase Club. How it sounds in the rugged Scottish burr of S8andy Douglas, the caddy master at Chevy Chase, is beyond description, but the caddies get the drift of the Injunction just the same. ‘Which is all by way of pointing out that Chevy Chase has inaugurated a system new and novel to the golfing sec- tor of the country about the Capital, and now is serving free lunch to the caddies who are willing to come and wait around during those vacant morning hours in the hope they will pick up a bag-toting job during the afternoon. Some time shortly after noon each day two waiters come across the club lawn from the kitchen to the caddie house, bearing a huge tray of sandwiches, and OME and get it.” Every day, shortly after noon, the pic- turesque yell of the Western .| a huge pan of soup. Then Douglas yells the Scottish equivalent of the old cow- 2| boy chow cell and the fight is on. Thuse 2 | lads never need appetite boosters, either. They might dally with a pheasant leg en casserole, but not with the soup and sandwiches. And the beautiful part of the whole procedure, from the stand- point of the caddies, is that it is all free. It doesn't cost them a nickel. On the other hand, word of the generosity of the club has spread by that grapevine telegraph method through the caddie ranks about Washington and today the Chevy Chase Club is known as the most enviable of caddie posts. The trouble so far has been to restrict the chow line to regular Chevy Chase caddies, for Douglas knows the regulars, and ualess an unusually fine day brings out 2 throng of golfers he keeps the chow line free of those outsiders who would crash the feed box in the hope of a free lunch. Betwcen 20 and 30 caddies are the beneficiaries of the free lunch every day and on a fine Saturday or Sunday this number is doubled. Whether the scheme will be continued throughout the Sum- mer has not yet been decided. But at present the golf committee feels it is working out in a manner which justifies its continuance through the Winter, Sport Slants By Alan J. Gould, Associated Press Sports Editor. popular notion of the duffer is that the crack professionals of golf hold a monopoly upon consistency at the royal and ancient sport. From com- petitive angle, this virtue was con- spicuously missing, so far as the bet- ter known pros were concerned, in 1929. It is one of the hardest of all the volunteer enterprises to effect a rank- ing of the star pros for this year. Based upon performances around the Winter resort circuit, Horton Smith, the blond lhlrg'shocter from Missouri, would take the No. 1 position without debate. The youthful Joplin player blazed a remark- able trail from California to Pinehurst. He has started out at the same clip again this Winter on the Wi Coast, but Horton was not so “hot” in the major championships here or abroad. ‘With the emphasis largely on results in title play, this ranking may have some merit, or, at least, furnish a start- Inf point for the argument: . Leo Diegel. 2. Horton Smith, 3. Walter Hagen. 4. Tommy Armour, 5. Johnny Farrell, 6. Gene Sarazen. 7. Al Espinosa. 8. Bill Melhhorn, 9. Al Watrous. 10. Macdonald Smith. JDEGEL wound up one of his best years by winning the P. G. A. crown for the second time in a row. bagged the Canadian open with the total of 274 and was well up in the running for both the British and American open championships. Diegel as a matter of fact had the British open sewed up until he cracked in the third round. This gave Hagen the chance to come through for the fourth time in the British classic. Except for a few of the stars, such as Espinosa, Sarazen, Armour and Diegel, the United States open at ‘Winged Foot was far from a happy event for the top-rankers. Smitn was tenth, but Hagen never was in the rui- ning. Neither was Farrell, who failed to qualify for the final two rounds. Espinosa made a great finish to be in position for a tie with Bobby Jones, but the Spaniard took the long count by a mar of 23 strokes in the play- off with the amateur wizard. Armour’s fine 277 was good for only second money in the Canadian open, but the Black Scot took the Western open with another low scoring out- burst, 273 for the 72-hole test at Mil- wl!‘ilkefz Smith, orton Smith, aside from his brilliant work in the big money events, won the French professional “tournament, but he failled to win any of the major g::ngl?g:h;puanAho;nsclnd was put .

O. ‘That Fool Rule. OW that the intercollegiate foot ball season is over, with the exception of a few games which are staged to prove that pigskin and roses can go to- gether in California (and what of it?), the foot ball rules committee might give some thought to a reconsideration of the new fumble rule. They might, but probably nothing will be done about it. The Volstead act is a living demonstra- tion that it is easy enough to get a bad law passed in the United States, but that it is almost impossible to get it repealed or modified. And so the new fumble rule probably will stand. The influence of the coaches put it over and now that it is in the rule book it probably will remain there. Still one can continue to squawk. This will not be effective in any way, but a certain amount of squawking is good for the disposition and it might help to de- ter the rules committec from passing some more idiotic innovations. There are plenty of these in con- templation. There is Mr. Glenn ‘Warren's new system of scoring, which would change what started as a natural game to a sport suited to Mr. Warren'’s system of coaching. It might also be of some assistance to Mr. Gil Doble of Cornell. There is another phase of the char- acter of Knute Rockne of Notre Dame that is to be commended now that a general commending of Mr. Rockne seems to be going on. As far as I know, the coach of Notre Dame never has tried to influence the workings of the rules committee. He takes the rules as they come, hot off the press, after the solons make them almost coherent, and he works out his strategy from them. Any old rules seem to be quite satisfac- tory to Mr. Rockne. He is the world’s champion puzzle solver. Any one who can solve the puzzle of the foot ball mlles committee certainly can claim that e. While I nave spent most of the foot ball season in a horizontal position, which is conducive to contemplation in excess, I saw enough foot ball games to satisfy myself that the new rule pro- duced static in a game that once was all action. I do not criticize the rule because it might deprive the spectators of some thrills. I believe that this game belongs to the men who play it and that the spectators are not to be con- sidered in any wa Intercollegiate foot ball was designed to develop some certain qualities in the men who play it and not to make a Roman holiday for old grads and their friends. Of course, it has strayed con- siderably from the main objective. Some day. perhaps, { will stray too far. ‘What I resent is the hypocrisy be- hind this new rule. The committee insists that it was passed for the benefit of the players. They argued that it was unfair to penalize an en- tire team for the error of one man. They insisted that frequently the en- Left Thumb On Top Prevents Pressing BY SOL METZGER. ‘The left thumb down the center of the shaft in your grip for an iron shot helps make your swing campact.

C, HE LINE McGEEHAN tire college career of & foot ball pla: er was blighted because he fumbled a ball at a crucial point and the fum- ble cost the loss of a game to his team. It sounds highly humanitarian and all that sort of thing. But the fact re- mains that in any game there are chances of the contest being lost through the error of one man. If all the men on both teams played perfect, there would be no scoring. The men must be trained not to make errors or, if they must—and some of them prob- ably will—they mut be trained to real- ize that anybody might make an error. Also the noncombate:is et foot ball games should be taught not to be so put out about it that they will force a player making a fumble to feel that he should slink back to the fraternity house and commit harikari. The passage of this rule is a tacit ad- mission that intercollegiate foot ball has been over-emphasized to the breaking point, That Championship. TN the matter of the mythical foot ball champlonship the debating will be- come acrimonious while it lasts. As chairman of the committee to guess at this for the Erskine award, I should say Notre Dame and then duck. But there are other undefeated teams and naturally a team or a fighter feels that it should or he should not be counted out until it or he is beaten, which sounds logical enough. ‘The business is too much like the set problems that are put before anybody ‘who presumes to express an opinion on sporting matters such as “Do you think that Jack Dempsey at his best could have beaten John L. Sullivan at his best?” or “Do you think that the Yan- kees of 1928 could have beaten the old Orioles?” How do I know? How does anybody know? The performance of the comparative- ly obscure team of St. Mary’s on the Pacific Coast ought to win at least an honorable mention in connection with the Erskine award. Pittsburgh, Purdue, Tulane, Tennessee and a few others ought to be in there when the boys start mentioning henorably. But, since it has to be done, Notre Dame is my selection. That's my story and I stick to it. * Some All-Americans. ND now in regard to the matter of the all-American team, which also is a mythical aggregation, I note that as there are more all-American teams than there are colleges there seems to be a considerable difference of opinion. Usually I am interested in no all- American team, excepting the one picked by Mr. Grantland Rice, which, I feel, is the only officlal all-American team.

Has an Array of Six-Footers for Its Basket Ball Team. BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr., Assoctated Press Sports Writer. 20.—Less than 10 years ago the University of Arkansas basket ball team played on a dirt court, and the boys from the Ozark hills considered themselves lucky at that. Today the lanky Razorbacks are un- disputed rulers of Southwest Confer- ence cage circles. For four straight years they have swept through to the championship and prospects are bright for a fifth consecutive title. Seven rangy veterans, none under 6 feet, comprise a nucleus for the team that Coach Charles “Chuck” Bassett will pit against this season’s foes. Only two members of that powerful quintet that crushed all opposition last year are missing, Tom Pickell and Eugene Lambert, and there is a wealth of ma- terfal to replace them. However, the “miracle man,” Fran- cis A. Schmidt, who coached the Ra- zorbacks into national prominence on the basket ball court, is absent. He has cast his lot with Texas Christian University, which won us first confen- ence title under his direction. Capt. Wear Schocnover, all-confer- ence star, both in basket ball and foot ball, will lead his year's team from a forward post. James Pickren, forward; Kenneth Holt, center; Roy Preweitt, center, and Milan Creighton and Tom Oliver, guards, are other veterans from last year's championship squad. All are about 6 feet 2 inches in height. In addition, there are eight prom- ising candidates from the 1929 fresh- man squad, all over 6 feet.

But that dafis over. Base ball can <till hold a certain general interest, through the Spring training season and it catches on with a rush when the pennant races start. to fade out by late July or August. But this interest in most of the cities begins By September 1, oniy the few teams left in the race can attract any crowds. General interest by that time is divided into a number of sections. September has come to be one of the great sporting months of the year. carrying the amateur golf champion- ship, the national tennis championship, a championship fight and the start of foot ball. At that spot base bali, hav- ing started five months or more before, has begun to drag. game when paid admissions fall off to 200 or 300 in one big city after an- other. It is for these reasons that hase ball action should be speeded up, and the simplest way is by shortening the play- ing season and thereby crowding in more_action.

ARNDLD HORWEEN turned out a smart, high-powered Harvard foot ball team for the stretch this season and it was only natural that Harvard would want him back. Horween is not only a good foot ball esach, but he has just reached the stage woere he can begin to put his experience into prac- tice, where he can begin to check ¢n what he has learned. It takes about five years for a foot »all coach to get a grip on the situation and builld a foundation upon which he can stand. All too frequently good coaching ma- terial is let out just at the point where it -is ready to be of use. ‘The head coach of a foot ball team has one of the most complicated jobs in sport. He has more to teach in a shorter space of time than any other director from any other game. The fundamentals have been increased and the general complications of play have been more than doubled. ‘The good coach is bound to build his foundation on fundamentals above everything else. From this point he can work his way forward. But modern fundamentals take far more time than the old game re- quired. The forward and the lateral passes have increased the burden.
