ERE'S a little shot made by Tony Manero which I want to tell 'you about, giving you his explanation of how he made it. Tony is a great golfer when the mood seizes him. In the 1933 Cav- alier Open, for instance, he played the last 36 holes on the Virginia Beach, Va, course in 69—66—135. The day before he had done the same route in 152. His second day dash put nim in the money $150 worth. His final 66 set a course record and was the sensation of the tournament. I believe that Tony may be too easy-going most of the time. Otherwise he would be one of the big threats of golf. The precision of execution that brought his 66, produced the shot of which I am going to tell you. His ball was in a shallow trap, 60 yards from the pin, but not buried. The right side of the green sloped MANERO' S PITCH AND RUN R FACE o (-1 1 31T 5 W uphill, with a side-hill slope from the right. The other side of the green sloped away from him. The green was fairly fast. Tony played a pitch and fun and put his ball | dead to the cup. “Why and how did you play that shot?” T asked. His answer may be of use to you. He said: “As the green sloped away from | me, a pitch shot might not have held, T decided to try a pitch and run, pitching my ball against the up-hill, side-hill slope on the right | and allowing it to rcll around to- ward the cup. As the ball lay clean, and the bunker bank in front of me was not high, I picked a mashie- niblick. My swing was a one- quarter swing, with practically only wrist action. I hit down on the | ball with my right hand in con- | trol. The stroke was firm, and I | kept the blade of the club closed | throughout the stroke.” — e | Maybe it is your grip that handi- | caps you in getting distance off the tee.

Newgarden of the War College APPROVES FINANCIAL HELP FOR ATHLETES Coast Conference, Though, Declares Safeguards to Avoid Abuses Are Essential. | | By the Assoctated Press. POKANE, Wash., June 10.—The ne- cessity of financial assistance to athletes, with close supervision by university officials, was recognized by | faculty representatives of the Pacific Coast Conference at a meeting here. Prof. W. B. Owen of Stanford Uni- versity, president of the conference, an- nounced the decision, which he sald was reached after study of the report by Jonathan Butler, who studied policies | and practices of conference members. | _“The conference recognizes,” Prof. Owen said, “that financial aid to the extent of the students’ needs is legiti- mate, but that certain safeguards to | prevent abuse are necessary in the case |of financial aid to athletes other than | employment.” Earl Campbell, graduate manager of | the University of Washington and presi- dent of the Graduate Managers’ Asso- cjation, said it was agreed that the price “top” for foot ball games will be reduced.

I have seen any number of dramatic moments in open golf championships, but I have never seen anything that could quite equal all the compressed drama of Johnny Goodman's amazing round. He not only played magnificent golf—he not only remained cool and collected all the way through—but he got the ball rolling for him and he kept it rolling from start to finish. Goodman, with a 75 on Thursday, was 7 strokes back of the brilliant Tommy Armour. He was one among many others. He was back in the mass. But in this second round he stole | the entire plot. He was the whole show, | including the blue chip seats, the ele- ph:gu,fluffuk!lndhheplnkhm- onade. 'OUR years ago Johnny Goodman al- | most wrecked the Delmonte Pen- | insula by beating Bobby Jones in the first round of the amateur cham- pionship. And he won through a brave, bold finish that only a stout heart and a fine swing can carry. But his second round in the 1433 open is a far greater classic. It W full of thrills from start to finish. It was & show with a great opening act | that got better and better—to wind up | with a closing act that had every spec- | tator breathing heavily before the clos- lsnhz cheers swept the landscape of North ore. When Johnny Goodman started out Tommy Armour was leading the field | with 143 strokes. Joe Kirkwood, the Australian trick shot player, was sec- | ond, with a brilliant 70 that left him with a 144. | Olin Dutra and others had played | fine golf to break par and come back | with the front runners. Johnny Good- man, the slight, slender young amateur and his opening 75, was among the for- | gotten men. ™' -~ the first hole | nny Goodman holed a 30-foot putt | for a birdie .. On the 490-yard second hole Johnny in 10 feet of the cup and got his birdic | 4, barely missing an eagle 3. On the third hole Goodman cracked an iron | just 4 feet from the cup to get his| third birdie in a row. IOODMAN ha started 3—4—2 against a par of 4—5—3, and when this news spread, over 4,000 spec- tators put across country to see what it was all about. With this start, Good- man was out in 32—4 under par. And by this time every spectator on the North Shore course was chasing the young amateur, which didn’t make his Job any softer. He came whirling along to the 511- yard fifteenth hole 3 under par. It was from this point on that the dramatic interest began to boil over. At this point an interesting event took place. I was standing by the fifteenth green with Maj. Fred Mc- Laughlin and Mrs. Irene Castle Mc- Laughlin as Goodman came up to play his third shot, 60 yards from the green. Mrs. McLaughlin was watching her first golf championship, and we had prom- | ised her something in the way of com- | petitive excitement. P | It was here Johnny Goodman played straight for the cup, struck the flag and remained there, hanging over the lip. | It was a question here as to what | would happen when the flag pole was removed. As it was taken out the ball dropped in for an eagle 3, but the cluck of the ball was drowned in the unre- strained thunder of the gallery’s roar. IOODMAN “slipped by his next two holes in par. As he stood on the eighteenth tee he had a par 4 for a 67, the course record—and a stroke | lead on the field. His tee shot just finished at the edge of the rough—partly in and partly out—one of the hardest strokes in golf. It was now a question whether Goodman could reach and hold the slippery eighteenth green, 160 yards away. Hhe slashed one out with a four iron. The ball came speeding along, caught the slope, started for the pin and the cup by less than an inch as it slipped 4 feet beyond. Once again the big gallery paid its vocal tribute. It was here that Bobby [t . McLaughlin admitted that golf carried more thrills than she ever had dreamed was_possible. ‘With this putt for a 66, with a big gallery eompletely tense. Johnny Good- .man stepped up and holed his putt for | another birdie and one of the greatest rounds of golf ever played on any course under the pressure of a crowd. As a result of Goodman’s remarkable round I figure there are now fifteen men with a chance to win this tournament. This includes all those at 149 or better. There are seven at 149 and they are eight strokes above Goodman. makes it tough on Gene Sara- zen, the open champion of the United States and Great Britain. Gene is ten strokes away, and he also is struggling. So many of his drives caught the heavy rough of this narrow fairway that he finished driving with a spoon. He is a hot wire down the stretch but he is up against a tougher handicap than any defending champion ever faced at this stage—ten strokes back and just a trifle discouraged with a grooved swing that has gone astray— even as it goes astray for you and me. This is one of the great things of golf. The champions also can know their troubles—they can play shots that would make a duffer curse. In starting the last day’s play today we have this situation: Johnny Goodman, an amateur is lead- ing at 141. Tommy Armour, once open golf champion of the United States and Great Britain, is second at 143. Kirkwood is third at 144. Back of these are such dangerous chal TS as llenge: Craig Wood, who led the Winter and | Spring money brigade; Olin Dutra, one of the greatest golfers I ever have seen; Mortie Dutra, his brother; Walter Ha- gen, the old master; Paul Runyan, one of the most accurate of them all, and a great putter, and others who may come tearing along to upset the dope. To call the turn on this champion- ship is beyond the soothsaying powers of any mere mortal. Almost anything can happen. Take the case of Horton Smith. Yesterday he was out in 33 with the course record in sight. He was playing brilliant golf. From 33 he Jjumped to 43 on the inward journey— a matter of 10 strokes’ difference in nine holes. Stand ‘3:1--“ you 3,000,000 duffers, and give ee rousing cheers. It can happed to them all. You are not alone. S they meve into action today the battle should be among Goodman, Armour, Kirkwood and Olin Dutra with the others fighting for one bril- liant round that may or may not come | off. In this list you can include Craig Wood, who has been playing fine golf. You can include Mortie Dutra, who is hitting the ball at his best speed. You can include Phil Perkins, Paul Runyan and Leo Diegel. But the main burden rests on Good- | man, Armour and Kirkwood. They are riding the crest and have the big chance—if they don’t blow. Only tension can beat them back. And yet I have a hunch that Olin Dutra and Craig Wood will be there down the stretch to chalienge the winner. They | are great golfers who have the swing | and know the route. They won't be | far away, and remember this when the | final score is in.

Taken by and large the Anacostia golfers are not as good, as a group, as those who play Rock Creek and East Potomac, but they should and probably will have some say i the matter. Would it not be fairer . all concerned to hold the tourney as a 54- hole affair over three days, with 18 holes to be played at Rock Creek Park, 18 more at East Potomac and 18 more at_Fairlawn? The day is not far distant when Anacostia will develop a group of golf= ers who can hold their own with the best of those on the other public courses, and it is none too early to recognize this fact and accord them the pr opportunity for competition. Uni some recognition is given the Fairlawn players, the coming public links cham- pionship may not be considered properly representative. Quite a group of golfers are playing well on the public links now: S, Although they do not compare in skill with the older generation, the Voigts, Houghtons, McAleers and Pitts. when these men were growing up on the municipal layouts, the Rippeys. Saun- deys, Malloys, Connollys and Downeys of/ today play well enough. Any of them can get real hot and score down in the low 70s, although none of them could go far against the stars of 10 years back, in our opinion. Within a few days the date will be set for the local public links championship. What- ever method of competition is used— match or medal play—some recognition should be given to Fairlawn.
