Runyan DILAPIDATED CLUB PROVES BIG ASSET Makes Deadly Apbroaches to Offset Shortness Off Tee and With Irons. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ! LITTLE wooden-shafted jig- ger stuck down in a bag crammed with a flock of the usual steel-shafted golf implements has earned for Paul |Hag Runyan of New Jersey & spot in the Winter sun that seems des- tined to push the diminutive win- e ner of three of the biggest tour- neys of the year into a top place among the professional brigade. Runyan today stands as the second largest money winner of the Winter season, only a few dollars back of Craig Wood, who got away to a flying start with victories in the San Fran- cisco and Los Angeles tourneys early in the season. Wood has a_ winning total of about $4.400, while Runyan's total, bolstered by his victory a few days ago in the Miami-Biltmore event, stands at $4,127. Most of the credit for the almost unbroken series of victories which have come the way of the smiling Jersey lad goes to that dilapidated-looking jigger, topped off by the knack of rolling in the five-foot putts- with an aluminum- headed putter. Not so long from the tee and lacking in the knack of fling- ing high-flying iron shots up against a distant pin, Runyan has more than overcome the distance of his opponents by his chipping ability with the dis- reputable jigger, beloved relic of the days when Runyan was dreaming of winning tournaments. ¢¢J ITTLE POISON,” he has been dubbed by his brother profes- sionals, but most of the poison lies in the narrow blade of that ante- dated jigger, the same club with which he broke the hearts of Tommy Armour and Olin Dutra in the final of the in- ternational four-ball tourney two weeks ago. Time after time, on hole after hole, Runyan played his second shot first, outhit by from 5 to 40 yards by both his opponents. Horton Smith, his partner, was wild as & hawk, and the main burden fell on the lad who learned the game in the Arkansas hills and developed his winning stride in Jersey. On hole after hole little Paul, play- ing with his head as well as his clubs, laid his second shot close enough for the deadly chip with the wooden-shafted jigger. From chipping distance he never failed to lay the stone dead With his club, the only wooden-shafted club in his bag. Almost alone, Runyan and his archalc jigger won the best ball classic of the year. Smith figured in only two holes of the afternoon round. On all the rest Runyan car- ried the burden, he and the jigger. ITTLE PAUL has knocked the illu- sion that a winning gclfer must b2 a long hitter into a cocked hat. Over one of the longest golf courses in the world—that at Agua Caliente, Lower California, the little Jerseyite outstripped a field of the finest pros in the wcrld to win the second biggest money event of the vear. Then he went over to Florida, where he finished fourth at Tampa, a co-winner of the international four-ball, and then turned on the heat to win the last big event of the Florida season, the tourney at Coral Gables, sponsored by Henry L. Doherty’s_Florida-Year-Round Clubs. It's only a couple of years since Runyan was just another young golfer, struggling with a score of others for a spot far back in the prize money at open tournaments. Today, and mainly because of his amazing accuracy. around the green with that jigger, Runyan is one of the most feared competitors in any tourney he enters. Unlike several of the so-called “Florida flashes,” Run- yan is just as good in the North as he has shown himself to be in the South. Runyan, Densmore Shute and John Revolta are the outstanding lads of the Winter season. Not cne of them has yet reached the age of 30 years. Shute started off by winning the Glen Falls open, placed second to Horton Smith at Kenwood, and then won the Miami-Biltmcre and Tampa tourneys. He is the third biggest money winner of the season, running only- behind | ‘Wood and Runyan. But Wood has not done anything in Florida. His “hot” streak in California petered out before he hit the sandy fairways of the penin- sula State. OU LAUDICK, Columbia Oountry Club golfer, has played many times with Runyan, in cther years be- fore the youngster began winning tournaments. “Even in those days, three or four years ago,” Laudick sald, “he wasn't so long from the tee, but he could certainly knock the ball close from anywhere around the green. He had that same ”’f" inmthose days, and it worked just like it works today.’ Filorida golf differs in many respects from golf in the North. In the first place the game is played on flat courses, where folks used to judge distances by elevations are at a loss as to what club to use. In the second place the ball gets very little roll from the tee. Un- derlying the sparse fairway grass is nd. Dig_down anywhere and you ve & bunker. Go a little deep with 2n iron club and it will “fluft™ sand 28 if you had played a bunker t. Iron play, except on those few courses in the State which have fairway water- ing, is a technique new to most golfers who have not played Florida courses before. The putting greens are sown mostly to Bermuda grass mixed With Ted top and a few other strains. This mixture produces a turf of good texture, | but one on which a definite grass grain predominates, exactly like the grain of a coarse stand of bent. | In 2ll the Florida match play tour- naments the pros scrape the grass near the line of putt to see which way the grain runs, a thing that could never be permitted in a big Northern tourney. It certainly looks peculiar to see a8 cham- plonship competitor scraping the grass almost on the line of putt, both ways, to survey the grain of the grass. ONLY three tournaments remain be- fore the Winter golf season will be over. Radium Springs., Gs. is to have a tourney shortly, to be followed by the Charleston open, for $2,500, in which Al Houghton of Kenwood wili be a competitor. Then comes the $4,500 North and South open at Pinehurst late in March. If little Paul Runyan wins sny of these three, the Winter season of 1933 will be written down @s & personal triumph for one diminutive little Jer- seyite and a wooden-shafted jigger which should have been a sacrifice to the march of golfing modernity years ago. Instead it is the deadly factor in the success of “Little Polson. Mat Results B the Associated Press. NEW YORK (St. Nicholas).—Jim | Londos, 200, Greece, threw Gino Garl- baldi, 214, Italy, 37:36.

THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND EI ‘ Concerning Fundamentals. [ times,” H. F. L. writes in, “about fundamentals — the main fundamentals of golf and foot ball and boxing. Would you mind telling me just what you mean by fundamentals, anyway?” Fundamentals are foundations. They carry the structure. It is upon funda- mentals that you build whatever skill you have later on. If the foundation 15 weak—the house will collapse. If the main fundamentals are wrong, the game will collapse—especially under any heavy pressure. For example, in golf— Bobby Jones, e Sarazen, Mac Smith, Armour and Walter en have somewhat different meth- Qd; o‘t ‘hhl:flnl & golf ball. ut they are alike in these respects: | 1. The head remains as anchor to position throughout. 2. e body turt or pivot, with the left arm in contral, left wrist dock 3. Weight distribution, which in- dludes getting the left side out of the way for the Hown swing. | There are several others which might Be mentioned. Any number of poten- tially good golfers have gotten no- where because certain fundamentals went astray and never were corrected. Same in Foot Ball. MART coaches this Spring soon will be working on the more important foot ball fundamentals—the right way to block—to throw & pass—to tackle—to kick. Not_so long ago several of us sat with Flelding H. Yost, Michigan's vet- ¢ran expert, in the di room of & ading hotel until nearly 5 o'clock, very one else had been gone for two Bours. Mr. Yost was demonstraf the art of punting—all the minor of leg and foot action—body action— dropping_the ball properly—before one éver become a consistently good kicker. ‘There were three or four detalls s good kicker had to have under control, ich as a Mills, a Kipke and a lew others can teach. Mr. Yost showed why certain kickers tesembled world beaters in one game— and appeared dubs in the next—why they were inconsistent—and foot ball is full of such. After all, you don't just drop a foot ball and p it with your foot. The same is true of blocking—of for- ward passing. A Benny Friedman can peg a foot ball into the hands of a runner 30 or 40 yards away on play after play—because Friedman knows OU have written at various = how to grip a foot ball—the correct foot balance—the correct arm and wrist For example, again—most forward passers fail to keep the forward tip of the ball elevated sufficiently, so they underthrow their target. Most of them fail to have the wrist E,opefly cocked at the top—a fault al common to most golfers, who wonder why they have to throw the right shoulder and side into the swing. ‘What use are the best foot ball play- ers unless the men are equipped to carry out their assignments?

No matter what the game, there must be a mental pattern of the pmgr method for one to bulld up any im- provement. More often than not, the test of form is under fire, under heavy pres- sure.

NEW YORK newspaper has on its sporting staff one of the most famous athletes in Amer- jcan history. His name is Al Cope- land, who will be remembered by the oldtimers as king of the hurdlers in the late 80s and the cerly 90s, a timber-topper whose records stood the assaults of time for upward of 30 years. When he retired from the cinder path, Al became a track and field coach at Princeton, and when he quit that post he entered upon a journalistic career, which he still follews. As a trainer of college men, Cope- land was as great a success as dur- ing his career as a hurdler. He turned out many champions. In addition, he helped to condition American Olympic u&l:lnu and gave sound advice to youth of the land through a column he ran for many years in the old New York Telegram, of which he was both athletic and racing editor. When the Telegram was sold by the Bennett estate to Frank A. Munsey, Copeland withdrew from that paper to join the staff of the New York Daily News, with which he still is affiliated. He is that paper’s racing expert and also takes charge of the annual Golden Glove Boxing Tournament. The phenom- enal success of that amateur affair is due to the splendid work of Al Copeland. He is in charge of the conditioning of the boys, and al- though more than 20,000 lads have competed in the tourney since its ————————————————— AL COPELAND. inauguration, not a fatality has marred the event, due to Al's expert supervision, Although Copeland is close to 63 years, he looks at least 10 years younger.

SEES FINE CHANCE T0 BEAT CARNEE Victory Tomorrow Would Tie for Third Place—40 Grid- ders Drill at Hilltop. G night at 8:30 o'clock in the Tech High gym- nasium in the final game of its basket ball season. If it wins it will wind up its schedule in the league in a third-place tie with Carnegie Tech. “Our team is going better now than at any previous time this season,” sald Graduate Manager Murphy today, “and, frankly, I expect to see a vic- tory tomorrow. Coach Freddie Mesmer has done a wonderful job with the squad. He brought it to its zenith. against Pittsburgh, and we ought to do just as well against the Plaid. “Incidentally, I want to see our team finish on an even basis with Carnegle Tech in the league standing, and it will take a victory to do that. Our play- ers are filled with the same idea, and | that should give them all the they need to play & rattling game.” Carnegie Tech won from George- town two or three weeks ago out at Pittsburgh, but having met the Plaid, the Blue and Gray still seems to feel that it can come out on top tomor- row. Georgetown says that it has measured the strength of its opponent and that, with its own advancement since that time, it can win. | EORGETOWN began Spring foot | ball practice in earnest yesterday. The squad, numbering about 40, | which reported Monday, took the fleld | under the direction of Coach Jack | Hagerty, and will continue workouts over a period of five or six weeks. Very little was done yesterday, other than to take light exercises, but Ha&!‘n! | expects to have the men in \pe. | shortly to go throcugh about as hard | foot ball as they will face in the Fall. | “You kncw what kind of a task that confronts me,” said Hagerty, “and I don't lock forward to next Fall with any thought of an easy job. We have |our werk cut out for us in many |ways. In the first place we will not have typically strong, rugged and ex- perienced Georgetown material, and will have to depend on a lot of game youngsters who know very little about the game. It is going to be a case of build from the ground up, with no illusions as to our problem. We're | going along and do the best we can. Just how good that best will be. no one can tell. I know I can't. However,' we should profit some by the expe: ences of last Fall, and I believe should pull together and have a wone derful team spirit. That may carry us far.” Coach Hagerty expects to carry the squad along for a few days until the. men get hardened to physical ecntacts and then go in for the rough work without any wraps. He plans not only to practice foot ball but to play foot ball and thereby give his players the experience of actual competitive con- ditions. ESPITE the fact that the present Southern Conference is not a8 | large as the ald Southern Confer- ence, every record for the annual indoor conference track championships last week at Chapel Hill was broken except two, it has been pointed out by one of the coaches. “The meet at Chapel Hill,” said this coach, “was productive of the best ine door ormances that have ever been |set for Southern Conference games, !wmch. it seems to me, is quite credite | able to the schools in this section.” Incidentally, the present Southern | Conference membership fared consid- erably better financially in the basket ball tournament this year and also in the boxing tournament. It is reported that the two tournaments not only paid | ll expenses for the contending schools, | but also made some profits for the con- ference treasury. If so, this is the first | time that such excellent results have | been noted. It is particularly signifi- | cant, too, in the light of the depressed financial situation. 'HOSE responsible for the financing of college athletics are thanking their stars that the present situa- tion developed at this time instead of next Fall. Heppening during a foot | ball season, such conditions as now exist would almost wipe out college athletics for a year. College men directly concerned with the management of athletics are | that the country will have got itself out of most of its financial difficulties the time October 1 comes around.
