SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1930: SPORTS ,N;t—tany Lions Loom as Favorites to Repeat in Four-Mile Event at Big Relays PENN U.S QUARTET FORMIDABLE RIVAL Some of Nation’s Best Run- ners Listed for Two-Day Program in Philly. BY EDWIN B. DOOLEY. EW YORK, April 16.—Penn State, winner of the 4-mile relay race in the Penn re- lays a year ago, again rules the favorite in this event, which will bring down the cur- tain on a program consisting of over a hundred different contests at Franklin Field on April 25 and 26. The Nittany Lion's quartet of crack milers has been shattered quite com- pletely since its record-breaking per- formance in Philadelphia last Spring, but two veterans remain who are well able to make up for any deficiencies which may be characteristic of the new men on the team. They are Paul Rekers and Charles Meisinger, excep- tional distance men, who have carried the colors of State College to many victories in recent years. Along with Meisinger, who is a capa- ble performer at the mile, Rekers will add a great deal of strength to the Penn State four-mile relay contingent. There will be plenty of keen competi- tion in this event, as teams from Penn- sylvania, Indiana, Butler, N. Y. U, Michigan_and Dartmouth are pointing for the laurels, but State College is nevertheless a slight favorite. The University of Pennsylvania hopes o challenge the present position which Penn State holds in this event, and Lawson Robertson is elated over the fact that for the first time in 16 years his team really has 3 chance to win this interesting relay race. A Formidable Quartet. Looking over the Penn entries, one begins to doubt whether Penn State, even with Rekers carrying the baton at his inimitable clip, can stand off the assaults of such men as Bill McKniff, the intercollegiate mile champion; Jesse Montgomery, a splendid miler, and Ro- land Ritchie. These m=n have shown rare form of late months and the Nit- tany team will have to step faster than it did when it set the Penn relay record for the four-mile relay event if it wants to maintain its honors. All in all, it looks as though this race will be one of the most interesting bat- tles of the entire two-day program. Some of the best runners in the coun- try are entered and rarin’ to match strides with their old adversaries Hickey and Lerner will be carrying the violet of N. Y. U. Joe Sivak will be anchor man for Butler. Michigan State —~has four fast milers and Dartmouth likewise, An indication of Penn's strength was seen in the performance its team turned in at the Illinois indoor relay carnival. The four wearers of the red and blue swept through four miles of tanbark and dirt in the remarkable time of 17 min- utes, 50 5-10 seconds. When it fs con- sidered that there were seven laps to the mile the time is nothing short of remarkable. While Penn State is the theoretical favorite, it looks as though it will have to beat Penn to win the race, and that will be a mighty hard thing to do. TRAINER IS BANQUETED. NEW YORK, April 16 (#) —Frank Wandle, who has been trainer of all varsity teams at West Point since 1923, ‘was guest of honor at a dinner at the Hotel Astor last night, tendered by Army officers who have been his asso- ciates. fo gl BASKET GAME OFF.

The Midatlantic greenkeepers have accepted an invitation extended by the Philadelphia greens section to go to the Quaker City, play golf and inspect a number of courses about Philadelphia, among them the famous championshin layout of the Merion Cricket Club, where the amateur championship will be played late in the Summer. The | members of the local assoclation, which | is headed by Bob Scott of the Baltimore Country Club, plans to go further than inspection of the Philadelphia | courses. They dropped a hint that a | team match over one of the Phila- delphia courses might bring out some golf and that it would prove an inter- | esting event, and the suggestion was | promptly taken up by the Philadelphia men, with the result that the green- keepers of Washington and Baltimore | clubs will go to Philadelphia early in May. That iniquitous foe of good putting | greens—brown patch—already is being guarded against at Chevy Chase and Indian Spring, where Dick Watson has |ssarted sprayin Jutfon which helped last year in neu- | tralizing the spread of brown patch. The course of the Washington Golf | and Country Club, where the initial | invitation tournament of the season is | to be held on April 29, 30, May 1 and 2, | is one of those surprising layouts which may be in only fair condition one day | and three days later be in the very pink. That is just what has happened at Washington within the past few days. Last week the layout was only in fair shape. Putting greens had not been rolled more than twice and were in- clined to be bumpy. Fairways had not | been cut and the grass-was high. But almost overnight came a change | Course Supt. Whaley'’s men left off | cleaning up the rough and doing odd jobs about the course and devoted themselves to improving fairways and greens, and today the Washington course is in top-notch shape. A big tournament could be held over | the course tomorrow and no player | could find complaint with its condi- | tion. Tt is so good, in fact, that Win- ter rules could be abandoned right now and no harm would come. In fact, a few of the members, wishing to get away from teeing the ball in the fair- ways, already have started playing | Summer rules. About the only work that remains | now to bring the course in line with its usual fine shape at tournament time | an ing in the washes on the hillsides made ib_v rushing waters during the Winter | and by the rains of recent weeks. Woman golfers of the Army, Navy | and Marine Corps Country Club are to | compete tomorrow in a medal play han- | dicap tournament, the second of the | serfes ‘of events arranged by the wom- |an’s committee, which is headed by Mrs. B. T. Merchant. Tournaments are scheduled each Thursday. Most of the fair golfers of the city are looking forward to the Phyllis Keeler Miller memorial tourney, to be held next Monday at the Washington Golf and Country Club, at 18 holes handicap medal play. This event will start shortly after 9 am. and pairings will be made at the tee by Mrs. Frank R. Keefer and ‘her committee associates of the Wom- | en’s District Golf Association. J. Monro Hunter, the long-hitting Indian Spring professional, played the par 4 eighth hole at the Four Corners club in a total of five strokes in two consecutive rounds. He drove within 30 yards of the green and holed a chip shot for an eagle 2, and on the next round holed a 6-foot putt for a birdie 3. Yesterday, playing with *his son and 3. B. Murphy of Columbia, he played ihls second shot to the fifteenth green and holed a 10-foot putt for an eagle 3. He drove so far on the sixteenth hole, a par 5 affair of 527 yards, that he played a No. 3 iron for his second shot and would have been on the green had the ball not kicked sharply to the left into a bunker, More than a score of the women | players of the Chevy Chase Club are |entered in the ringer competition, which started on April 1 and will end in the Fall. Those with handicaps of less than 14 must play a full 18-hole round for their ringer scores to count, while those with handicaps of 14 and STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE g the greens with a so- | is rolling and cutting the tees, and fill- | | over may play 9 holes and turn in a | ringer score. Dr. Thomas A. Claytor nosed out Dr. J. Allan Talbott by a stroke in the handicap medal play tourney of the Clinico-Pathological Society of Wash- ington, played yesterday over the course | of the Chevy Chase Club. Dr. Claytor |had a card of 90—15—75, while Dr. Talbott turned in a score of 90—14—76. Drs. J. W. Burke and Lee McCarthy tied for first place in the 18-hole putt- ing contest, held after the major event, with scores of 38 for a double circuit of | the nine-hole putting course.
