Golf Analyzed BY JOE GLASS The greatest obstacle to success- ful golf is the average player’s dis- inclination to practice. He thinks he can learn as he plays. This is the biggest of his blunders But even those who practice fre- quently are apt to proceed on a mistaken basis.

By the Associated Press. KLAHOMA CITY, June 18.— A free-for-all fight for the trans-Mississippl golf cham- pionship will begin Monday over the sporty course of the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, which has offered as the prize trophy an expen- sive automobile. With Johnny Goodman, Omaha, the titleholder, in New York for the Na- tional Open, there are a score of able golfers ready to make strong bids for his crown. The conflict in dates with the Na- tional Open deprived the trans- Mississippi tourney of Goodman and several other high-class amateurs, in- cluding Johnny Dawson of Chicago, who was runner-up in 1926, but the fleld boasts several former champions. ‘Bob McCrary, Des Moines, twice win- ner of the title, and Bud Maytag, who was_runner-up to McCrary in 1929, will be Iowa's chief contenders. Rodney Bliss on Deck. Omaha will be well represented by young Rodney Bliss, Dartmouth college student, who gave Goodman a battle | in the final of the Nebraska State tournament last year. Jimmy Manion of St. Louis, another former champion, will head the Mis- souri contingent. Bryan Winter, St. Louis, former Missouri champion; Frank | Staller, Kansas City, present title- | nolder, and Paul Jackson, Kansas City, are other excellent shotmakers. From Texas comes a corps of stars, headed by Gus Moreland, Dallas, twice | ¢ | State amateur champion, and 'Bryon | | Nelson, who won the Southwest ama- | | teur over the same course here two years ago. It wiil be Moreland's first try at the “trans,” but he is one of the gallery favorites. An army of Oklahoma golfers will be led by E. J. Rogers, present State open and amateur champion, who will be playing over his home course.
