Congressional Course, Scene of Varsity Title Golf Next Week, Now a Marathon COLLEGIANS FACE 1. 0-YARD HIKE |- Thick Rough Adds to Test Next Week for National Championship. BY W. B. McCALLUM. \HE longest golf course over which any major tournament ever has been played around ‘Washington stretches before the callege lads who will try for the intercollegiate golf crown over the Congressional Country Club course next week. Backed away to the rear end of all tees, with two special tees in use, the Congressional layout will be stretched out to more than 7,000 yards of rough-bordered fairway when the rah! rah! boys begin their trek| on Monday after the title now held | by lanky Charlie Yates of Atlanta, ! Gawjuh. They talk of Oakmont with its tremendous bunkers, of Merion, of | Pine Valley and of other courses where heavy rough and awesome sand | traps make life a terror for those who would match par. But Congres- sional, with its heavy rough, its| deep traps biting close into the put- ting greens and its sheer length of over 7,000 yards, is going to be one of the tougher propositions any field of golfers ever has tackled. Some | of them will break par; that is al- | ways done at any national chxmplon-’ ship. But the scores below 72 will | be few and far between. Rough Is Heavy. TWO main factors will contribute to keep the scoring up. Faced with the certainty that the college boys who include many of our fore- most amateur shotmakers the country over would convert the Congressional course into a race track unless some- thing was done to stop their rampages, Maj. F. MacKenzie Davison and his Greens Committee months ago de- cided to let the rough grow. Today it is so thick and heavy that the lad who sticks to the fairway will have a big edge on the lengthy slug- ger who parks his tee shot 300 yards out in the great open spaces, but in the rough. The members of the club have squawked, and continue to squawk about it, but if that rough were not so thick scores below 70 would be common next week. As it 1s not many of them will be recorded. From the back tee the par 5 fifth becomes a real test. Normally it is a two-shotter for the longest hitters and with favoring winds still would be just that. The hole stretches out to well over 500 yards, but just to show you that more distance doesn’t mean every- thing Spec Stewart of Stanford played it with a drive and a mashie and bagged an eagle 3. At the twelfth this normal No 3 iron shot hole is to be | played from a rear tee which brings | the hole up to about 255 yards in length, a big spoon shot or & mod- erately hit brassie shot, But the big blow comes at the lengthy thirteenth, normally a 510-yarder, and & par 5. No. 13 Is Lengtbened. MAJ DAVISON has Lailt & tee T0 yards back of the regular tee, far back in a grove of trees, from which 90 per cent of the club members couldn’t even reach the fairway. It makes the hole play around 600 yards in length, and you won’t find any of the college boys reaching the green with two well-timed smacks next week despite their long-hitting ability, They can wallop the ball, no doubt of that, but they aren’t going t0 burn up that golf course. The rough alone is bad enough, but when you add several hundred yards to the distance of a| golf course already long you have added not only yards but strokes. Two days in advance of the opening | of the classic interest is mounting | among Washington golf fans and the outlook is good for big galleries next week. Admission will be by ticket only. The tickets, on sale at the sev- eral country clubs around Washington and at Spaldings, are priced at one buck each day; $150 for two days, with & weekly ticket selling for $3.30. The show will be worth that or any other price, for among these college boys gathered here this week are sev- eral potential kings of the world of driver and mashie. PORTS.

C, SATURDAY, JUNE 22, | IOWENS VS.1.3.C. IN COLLEGE MEET Ohio State’s Colored Star in 4 N. C. A. A. Finals Vies With Trojan Horde. BY BOB LETTS, Associated Press Sports Writer. ERKELEY, Callf, June 22-It was Jesse Owens against Uni- versity of Southern California today as the 14th National Collegiate Athletic Association track and fleld classic swung into the finals. Although the odds were slim, the Ohio State colored sophomore and his few teammates still lined up as a distinet threat to a powerful Trojan squad which led the preliminaries yesterday with a dozen qualifiers. Ohio State, principally Owens, was tled for second with University of California, each having qualified 6. Owens, running slightly under wraps, qualified easily in his four events. Owens Against U. S. C. Team. E RACED to an easy 9.7 seconds win in the 100-yard dash, leaped 26 feet 1% inches on the first of only two attempts to crack a national col- legiate record; literally loafed through a 21.3 seconds furlong and clipped off @& 220-yard flight of low hurdles in 23.6 seconds. As a near capacity crowd of 23,000 assembled to witness the finals, Owens was called upon virtually to defeat Southern California singlehanded. In addition, he had to match his skill against Glenn (Slats) Harden, Louisi- ana State’s great low hurdler, and decide two long-discussed arguments about his merits as compared with George Anderson, University of Cali- fornia sprinter. Two New N. C. A. A, Marks. TWO national collegiate records al- ready have fallen, one by Owens, when he shot out 26 feet, 13% inches in the broad jump to erase the mark of 25 feet, 10% inches set by De Hart Hubbard, Michigan iVegro, in 1925. Charles Congloff of Pittsburgh set the other new standard with his heave of 221 feet, 3% inches in the javelin. ‘The former record of 220 feet, 11% inches was made by Bob Parke of Oregon, a year ago. Parke failed to qualify yesterday, because of a sore arm. Pinishes in the two trial heats of the 100-yard dash and two of the preliminaries in the 220-yard low hurdles were so close the qualifiers other than the first place men were not determined until late last night after officlals viewed motion pictures taken of the finishes. REVOLTA LEADING INMEDINAH OPEN Milwaukee Pro Cracks Par by Two Shots—Mangrum and Walsh Trail. By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, June 22—Johnny Revolta, the bushy-haired par buster from Milwaukee, was the man the rest of the field tried to catch today in the second 18-hole round of the Medinah Coun- try Club's first annual $3,500 open tournament. Revolta, winner of the Western open last week at South Bend, Ind, who usually does his best shooting in the stretch, reversed the order yes- terday, shooting a sparkling 69 over Medinah's No. 3 course to take the lead. The Milwaukee star’s score, made up of a 34 going out and a 35 coming home, beat par by two strokes, and gave him that much of a margin over Ray Mangrum of Los Angeles and Frank Walsh of who were in second place with smart 71s. Revolta bagged five birdles in his sub-par round and was over regula- tion figures on only three holes. Harry Cooper, one of the crack Chicago pro- fessional brigade, might have scored a 66, but for misbehavior of his putter, and wound up with 73. Bunched back of the leaders were Leonard Dodson of Pembine, Wis, with & 72, and Al Huske of Elgin, IIL, who matched Cooper's 73. Harry Hampton, Tommy Armour and Sonny Rouse, a trio of Chicago pros, fol- Towed with 74s.

N THE eve of the beginning of the second major tennis tournament of the season, the loose threads of the first were to be brought to a knot. Two titles were to be sewed up this afternoon. The championships in men’s and women's doubles were to be decided at Columbia Country Club courts. At 2 o'clock, Bobsy Turner and Margot Lee were to play Sara Moore and Dorette Miller. Two hours later Dooly Mitchell and Tom Markey were to contest Tony Latona and Ralph Mc- Elvenny. ‘Tomorrow, when the District of Co- lumbia championships open at Colum- bia, the last match of the City of Washington tournament, and most im- portant to the women will be played, bringing together Sara Moore and Mary Ryan for the singles champion- ship, MISS RYANmf.he right to play Sara in defeating Frances Car- ter yesterday on the Rock Creek courts, 6—0, 6—2. The match tomor- row will start at 3:30 o'clock and here’s hoping the girls will not get too lonesome, playing as they are on courts so far from the scene of the coming week’s activities. The girls’ doubles teams who earned the right to play the final match this e T s afternoon experienced dissimilar op- position in their semi-final trials yes- terday. While Dorette Miller and Sara Moore had little more than a workout in soundly trouncing the team of Dorothy Kingsbury and Miss Raver, 6—1, 6—3, the Turney-Lee duet rallied to spring a mild upset in trimming Mrs. Bassett and Mrs. Wyeth. Bobsy and Margot lost the first set, 2—86, but by the same scores overcame their more experienced foes in the last two. Incidentally, it was the first tourna- ment competition Mrs. Basseit, the former Frances Walker, had seen in two years. Prior to that time her fame had gained with each passing year on the courts. A susama. driving offensive brought the junior doubles cham- plonship to the Ritzenberg brothers, Natie and Al, when they made & brave recovery to take three out of fo\lrlehhnmnnnbb‘onr:pllrd Channing. Somewhat confused during the first set, when they seemed to get in each other’s way, the Ritzenbergs lost, 4—6, but, soon discovering that the only points their opponents seemed able to get were by playing de- fensively, they put everything they had into the next three sets, to win, 6—4, 7—5, 6—2.

BY PAUL MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, June 22.— Frank Parker, a star still in the ex- perimental stage as far as he and his coach were concerned, was the target of cheers and jeers alike today as he adopted a “guinea pig” mumthemldnolhhngmw regain the na- 5 tional clay court tennis champion- Mercer Beasley, the 18 - year - old Milwaukee youth experimented with a strange shot, & new fore- hand with a twist & that gives it the effect of & de- layed chop. The ¥} stroke starts out Frank Parker. like any other forehand, meeting the ball flat, but & quick cut under the pellet gives it the chop effect, the ball floating with the “greatest of ease” at his opponent. 8o far, the crowd and Parker's op- ponents have been outspoken in their criticism and resentment of the shot. Parker Not Bothered. THE change in sentiment because of one experiment doesn’t bother Parker one whit, however, as he be- lieves the same critics will cheer it later on. The advantage in the new delayed chop stroke, Beasley believes, is its deceptiveness; its disadvantage, *he Kplayers argue, is that it slows the game and uses up a lot of energy for delivery of such a slow ball. Parker, seeded No. 1, today faced William Reese of Atlanta, who de- feated Clff Sutter of Detroit, 6—4, T—5. Bryan “Bitsy” Grant, Atlanta’s “Mighty Atom,” was the big favorite to win and retain his title. Grant probably will face Berkeley Bell of New York. Bell still had his quarter-finals match to finish as rain stopped him and Sin Kie Kho, Chinese Davis Cup player,, before they completed their match. Quarter-finals results: Grant defeated J. Gilbert Hall, South Orange, N. J., 6—2, 7—5. Parker defeated Robert Bryan, Chattanooga, Tenn., 8—86, 7—5. Reese defeated CLf Sutter, Detroit, 6—4, 5. —_— VET NETMEN SCORE.
