Cc3 Winter Rule in Rough Is Gaining Favor Among Washington’s Divot Diggers < FOLLOW EXAMPLE SET BY COLUMBIA' Congressional Is Latest to Permit Teeing Ball When off Fairway. BY W. R. McCALLUM. RADUALLY the golf clubs around Washington are work- ing toward the realization that Winter rules on their courses must be played all over the course, with the exceptions of hazards and cannot apply alone to play through the fairways. For years at Columbia and Wash- ington, when Winter rules became effective, they included the whole golf course, excepting bunkers and water hazards, wh'ch made impossible argu- ments as to where the fairway ends and the rough begins, and permitted teeing of the ball practically anywhere on the golf course. And now Congressional is swinging into line with a recommendation by Professional Roland MacKenzie that the old rule permitting teeing of the ball only in the fairway be changed to permit replacing the ball anywhere on the course barring those pesky hazards. Columbia Sets Example. OLUMBIA started it all many years ago when knowing little Fred McLeod, the Columbia pro, asked the question: “Can you find anything in the rule book about fair- ways?” The Golf Committee searched the book and found that Freddie had asked a question that couldn't be answered in the affirinative. The rule book says nothing about fairway, but it does have a lot to say about play “through the green” and on the “green” and in hazards. “Therefore,” the committee argued, “isn't all the course with the excep- tion of hazards one big fairway?” And 80 it is regarded at Columbia. Along came Washington picking up the same rule, with the added provision among some of the members that the ball may be placed anywhere within a club’s length of where it stopped, thereby eliminating the pos- sibility of being stymied by a tree. ‘That rule also has worked out per- fectly. And now comes Congressional, about to adopt much the same rule, with the difference that the ball may be moved only 6 inches from the spot where it came to rest. Hazard Penaity Is Fair. T IS hard enough in Winter to tell where the fairway stops and the rough begins without dragging in the possibility of a lot of arguments Furthermore the rough at any golf course has in it a flock of holes, where your golf ball has a favorite habit of nestling. These holes are filled in Summer with a lot of loose growing grass, but they are bare in Winter and a golf ball, rolling along under the well-known physical law of a round object seeking the lowest point, is almost sure to stop in a bad lie. Golf is hard enough in the Winter without making it harder by playing Summer rules in the rough. So the better scheme, if the ball is to be moved at all, is to make it possible to move it all over the course, barring hazards. And any gent who gets into a hazard should be penal- ized. It's all far from the original idea prevailing in Britain that the ball shall not be touched from tee to green. But after all golf is a game played for fun and exercise, and when it becomes hard work the fun stops. Which reminds us that a few Winters back Davie Thompson, the Washing- ton Club pro, visited his home town of Montrose in Scotland. Dave took along his golf clubs and played a few rounds of golf during the Scottish Winter. His main complaint was that the dogmatic Scots insisted on playing the ball where it lay, despite the poor condition of the course. “We got in some holes on the fair- way where only a mashie would get us out,” Davie said. “I think it's silly not to use Winter rules under conditions like that. GOPHERS TO GET TROPHY Rockne Memorial Award Will Be Presented December 20. CHAMPAIGN, Ill, December 11 (#)—The Knute K. Rockne Me- morial Trophy for the Nation's out- standing college foot ball team, ac- cording to the Dickinson rating sys- tem, will be presented to the Uni- versity of Minnesota December 20. Minnesota is the fourth Big Ten school to be ranked first under the system. Illinois was first in 1927 and Michigan gained top ranking in 1932 and 1933. Other previous win- ners: 1924, Notre Dame; 1925, Dart- mouth; 1926, Stanford; 1928, South- ern California; 1929 and 1930, Notre Dame; 1931, Southern California. HOCKEY ACES PRESSED Scoring Lead of Jackson and Con- nacher Is Greatly Reduced. MONTREAL, December 11 (#).— The six-game winning streak of the Montreal Maroons is slowly cutting into the monopoly the Toronto Maple Leafs hold in scoring honors in the National Hockey League. Ending last week, Harvey (Busher) Jackson and Charlie Connacher of | the Leafs still topped the individual scorers, Jackson with 14 points and Connacher only a point behind. Johnny Sorrel of Detroit remained in third place with 11 points, but Earl Robinson of the Maroons had cut into a tie for fourth place with 10 points. ——— SIX-DAY GRIND CLOS Fielding-Vopel-Von Kempen Win by Only Four Points.

There they have a real friend in John Cowieson, Miami naturalist, who’s shown here as he fed a flock early in Decem- ber. Not at all afraid of him, the wild fowl eat out of his hands, snatch crumbs from his pockets and even perch on his head. —A. P. Photo. 3 by T ISN'T likely that rotund S. G. Loeffler, jr, the chubby-taced gent who controls public links golf around Washington, is going to be deprived of the mainstay of his public links concessions—East Poto- mac Park with its four nine-hole courses—for some time, even though the Federal Aviation Commission has recommended that all the area now grown up in fairways and bunkers and putting greens be included in a model airport for the National Cap- ital. The same plan as that presented yesterday to President Roosevelt was submitted last year, and drew so many protests that it was dropped. Now it is up again, with the same group of protests arrayed against it, but this time with the powerful back- ing of the Aviation Commission. In any event, Father Loeffler, Santa Freddie McLeod, Columbia’s pitches up close to the pin from ington. Freddie hasn’t a peer a world, and he doesn’t use a wed Claus of public links golf, isn't wor- rying about developments. For Papa Loeffler claims he has taken a licking in the pocketbook on public golf oper- ations over the past two or three years. He must mean by comparison with the boom years, because he is a shrewd gent who can see around a corner as quickly as the next man. Under the plan of the Aviation Com- mission virtually the entire East Po- tomac Park layout would be turned into a Janding fleld. But with the custom- ary snail’'s pace of most Government projects, even if the plan is approved by the President ard Congress, it will be a long time before East Potomac Park turns from the driver and putter to landing wheels and R. P. Ms. Loeffler’s contract with the park board for the operation of golf courses in East Potomac, West Potomac and Rock Creek Parks, has a year to run. With all the local golf courses TWO GRID STARS ADDED Ford and Veller Will Play for East in Charity Tilt. CHICAGO, December 11 (P).— Gerald Ford, Michigan center, and Don Veller, Indiana halfback, have been added by Coach Dick Hanley of Northwestern to his section of the in the annual Shrine benefit foot ball game at San Francisco New Year day. Acceptance of invitations by Ford and Veller left two places open on the squad. The 11 men selected by Andy Kerr of Colgate will jain Han- ley's squad at Evanston December 19. St PALACE TEAM TO DECIDE Acts Tonight on Bid to Oppose Maryland A. C. Eleven. A meeting of the Palace A. C. foot ball team will be held tonight at.7:30 o'clock to decide whether it will ac- cept terms for a game with the Mary- land A. C. eleven. It will not be a National City League contest. Maryland A. C. virtually has clinched the unlimited class title in that league, while Palace has been banned from the loop because of failure to put a team on the field for a scheduled game with M. A, C. This tilt was awarded the Mary- 5 | landers by forfeit. LS. JULLIEN.Inc. 1443 P st. N.W, NO. 8076 ) STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE W. R. MECALLUM blanketed with snow and the tempera- ture hanging around in the low 20s, there won’t be much golf played until the sun turns lose a barrage of melting heat. But icy roads and snow didn't keep the Manor Club folk from turning out for the club election yesterday. ‘They re-elected David L. Thomson and George L. Quirk to the club Board of Governors, and chose Thomas N. Beavers, Byron S. Beall and William L. Jones to be new members. The board will elect a president at its first meeting, with the prexy more than likely to be affable Raymond L. Garrity, who has headed the Manor Club for some four or five years.

NAVY KEEPS COACHES Four Connected With Grid Team Get Permanent Details. ANNAPOLIS, Md., December 11.— Four of the young naval officers, head- ed by Lieut. Tom Hamilton, who were connected with the foot ball coaching at the Naval Academy during the sea- son just completed, have received per- manent details which insure their presence at Annapolis over next sea- son and probably the following year. In addition to Hamilton, head coach, there are Lieuts. John Cross, varsity line coach; Harry Hardwick, plebe coach, and Howard Caldwell, coach of B squad. All will retain their connec- tion with the coaching staff, but there are likely to be some changes among the other coaches. Those permanently detailed will have charge of Spring practice. — e BUDDY BAER WOULD SING.

By the Associated Press. ERSEY CITY, N. J, December 11.—Thoroughbred horse racing, which did much to replenish State treasuries this year, is due to take even greater strides forward in 1935 in the opinion of five State racing commissioners in session here codify- ing rules. From W. H. Donovan of Florida, Mark Hanna of Michigan, W. H. Cane of New Jersey, Gen. Charles H. Cole of Boston and James F. Hayward of Maryland came the notes of optimism. The five, appointed by the National Association of State Racing Commis- sions, to unify the rules and present them at the national meeting in Miami in January, expected to finish their task today.’ Donovan said he confidently ex- pected the pari-mutuel play at Hialeah and Tropical Parks to reach close to $40,000,000 as compared to $27,000,000 last year. The Florida season opens at Tropical Park Saturday. Plenty of Horses. “ A LREADY we have more horses A on the grounds than at any time last season,” sald the Florida secretary. “I also look for im- proved racing over the country as the nationalization of the rules will have far-reaching effects.” Hanna, Michigan’s one-man com- mission and chairman of the national association, predicted a good year for the sport at Detroit, where the horses ran for 123 continuous days this season. Hanna plans to continue his fight against the doping of horses and for the open claiming rule. To combat the former he would have a receiving barn, to which the horses would be delivered an hour before the race. He also advocates forbidding any horse to race for 60 days after he has been claimed, arguing that such a rule would protect the horsemen. Expect New Track. EN. COLE, recently appointed when Massachusetts approved a pari-mutuel betting, has no track over which he exercises jurisdic- tion but expects one or more courses to be built near Boston within the next year, With an application on hand ask- ing permission to build a track, Cane looks forward to the passing of a pari-mutuel bill by the next New Jersey Legislature. Hayward, although hopeful for a | better year in 1935 than this season, was of the opinion that the taxes on the Maryland tracks would have to | be lowered if they were to stage a strong comeback.

By the Assoclated Press. IAMI, Fla, December 11.— The last half of a record- smashing field of 300 goifers turned into the second 18- hole round of the $12,500 Miami- Biltmore open today. Olin Dutra, national open champion, | toured the first 18 holes Sunday in a | snappy 70, one under par, and loomed | as the one most probable to shake | Abe Espinosa of Chicago out of first position et the 36-hole mark today. Espinosa finished yesterday with a 74—72—146 for the midway mark in the 72-hole tournament that ends Thursday. The Chicagoan is entered from the second division of the classic, com- posed largely of golfers who seldom participate in major tournaments. Dutra represents the first division, open to all players who were among the low 60s and ties in the last P. G. A. championship and the low 30s and ties jn the national open. A 'stroke behind Espinosa yesterday were Johnny Farrell of Short Hills, N. J., and Orville White of St. Louis, two first division entries, whose 147 was tled by a second group player, Mike Turnesa of Elmsford, N. Y. At the ¢nd of play today, all players in the first division, the low 80 and ties in the second group, and all the amateurs, will be selected to partici- pate in the two final 18-hole rounds to be played Wednesday and Thurs- day. e WILL LEAD 1935 HOYAS Meglen and Herron, Backs, Named Co-Captains of Eleven. Georgetown’s foot ball team next Fall for the first time will be led by co-captains.
