White Crowned College Golf Champ : Griffs Lose Singular Game to Yankees \ § SHELLACKS HAAS IN FINAL, 5 AND 4 Texan’s Tournament Rec-| ord Is Finest in 37-Year History of Event. BY W. R. McCALLUM. LIMAXING a record-breaking spurt of golf with a subpar performance that left his op- ponent floundering far in the rear, 21-year-old Ed White of Texas University licked 19-year-old Freddie Haas of Louisiana State by 5 and 4 yesterday to win the national inter- collegiate golf championship. White played 32 holes of the final match in level par to wind up four days of match play with a par-shat- tering performance which never has been equaled in the 37-year history of | the Intercollegiate Golf Association. ‘The narrow fairways and heavy rough of the Congressional Country Club course, where the tourney ended yes- terday after six days of par busting, held no terrors for the 21-year-old lad from Bonham, Tex., who wound up three years of college golf competition by winning the title. Haas, the tall, lanky runner-up, is & sophomore at Louisiana State and has two more years of college golf in front of him. A cool and collected shotmaker and a perfect swinger, he likely will win the championship, but yesterday he was up against a com- petitor far too hot for him or any one else. Sets Killing Pace. HITE hails from a little town \ which has only 5,000 inhabi- tants. Haas is the son of a New Or- leans professional. White played 129 | holes of match play in the college | tourney against five opponents in three | better than par over a course where the best medal score in the qualifying | round was 72, which gives some small indication of how hot the Texas boy became once he got into the match- play rounds. 1 He whipped, successively, John Boyd of Bowdoin by 2 and 1, with & one-over-par score; Charlie Kocsis of Michigan by 5 and 4, ending the match four under par; G. A. Menard, Jr., of Penn State by 5 and 3, with a card one over par; defending cham- pion, Charlie Yates, in the semi-final by 4 and 3, with a score one under perfect figures, and he shot 32 holes of the final round in level par to out- club the imperturbable Haas boy. ! A slim sprinkling of spectators, far | below the expected galleries, wabchedf 8olf as perfect as that ever seen in| any national tournament. White qual- ified with a 36-hole score of 155, but | once he got into the match play | rounds he became a rampaging robot | of the links, a man whose sole aim and ambition was to beat par. He | did it and in the doing he won the | intercollegiate championship. Takes Penalty Stroke. NE down to the lean Haas boy at the start of the final 18 holes | of the scheduled 36-hole final, White early gave an indication of what was | to come. He had finished the first | 18 holes shakily, calling a penalty | stroke on himself at the v,m'rteemh! hole of the morning round, and missing a couple of putts which the White of the previous matches wouldn’t have blown. At lunch time | he announced that he wasn't going to miss any more short putts. He opened the afternoon campaign | by cracking two booming wooden club shots to the fringe of the green at the nineteenth, and chipped dead for & winning birdie 4 to square the match. He missed a 4-footer to win the twentieth, but he went into the lead with a par 3 at the twenty-first, when Haas' tee shot found a bunker and White holed a 6-footer for his 3 after overrunning the hole with his approach putt. They split the twenty-second in par, and Haas blew | a 3-footer to win the twenty-third, only to hole a 5-footer to square at ‘the twenty-fourth. White went into the lead he never was to relinquish at the twenty-fifth, the seventh of the card, where he played a great iron shot from the rough at the right and won with a par 4 when Haas' chip was weak. White also won the twenty-sixth with a bird 4 to go 2 up, when Haas’ second shot found a bunker and he missed the shot out. Breaks Haas’' Morale. split the twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth in par figures, but White smacked an iron shot 5 feet from the pin at the thirtleth and won the hole with a| birdle 2. That shot broke the heart | of the cool campaigner that is Haas, | for the New Orleans boy found the | rough at the thirty-first, and lost the hole to White’s par 5. Four up with five to go, White found the green with a spoon at the thirty-second | hole, while Haas pushed his ball to the right. Haas chipped down 6 feet past, and White laid his approach putt dead. Haas missed, and White coolly rolled in the 2-footer that won him the match and the champion- ship. They played out, and White finished with a 69. All through the tourney White's g2 was marked by immaculately hitlron shots, and, far more im- pertant, the ability to roll in those nerve-wying putts from 6 feet up to 10 feet. He failed on a few of them yesterday, but not at important spots in the match. When he needed a putt, as he did on the twenty-seventh, it went down with finality and with- out hesitation. ‘Thé new champion is a very fine golfer, a cool head under fire, a great | HOIbro ks iron player and a lengthy hitter from | B n.gze the tee, notwithstanding his com- paratively slight build. He weighs about 150 pounds and stands about 5 feet 10 inches in height. White would be a real sensation in the national amateur championship were he to put on a streak of the same kind of golf he showed here last week. He never has played in the | simon pure championship. ‘We gather from the way he speaks that the Whites of Bonham are not overburdened with cash. Asked why he didn't play in the national he replied that he never (Gontinued on Page 10, Column 7.), Senator Burke of Nebraska gives the finalists their trophies.

IMBLEDON, England, June 29.—A jury of \/ v honor meeting at Paris today decided Jean Borotra, French tennis star, and Didier Poulian, Paris sports writer, need not fight their proposed duel. Tonight Borotra said “All I have to worry about is beating your magnificent American doubles teams” in the all-England tourna- ment being played here. There was one more immediate cause for worry, however. Bor- otra and his teammate meet the British pair, G. P. Hughes and C. D. P. Tuckey, Monday and must beat them to get at the Americans. And Hughes and Tuc- key in the Queens tournament last week put out two crack American teams, John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison, and Donald Budge and Gene Mako, Borotra, whom the sports writer had challenged by letter after an exchange of remarks concerning the “Bounding Basque's” decision not to play Davis Cup singles while entering the Wimbledon tourney, was obviously pleased at settlément of the incidents i'Borotra Won’t Need to Duel “Jury of Honor” Decides Exchange of Insults Makes Him and Writer Even. “Everything has been settled to my satisfacton,” he said, “and I have been assured that Poulian never meant I was a poor sport. * * * Now it is all over.” (Paris dispatches said the jury of honor, composed of the two men’s seconds, decided insults ex- changed had canceled each other and hence “the affair was defi- nitely closed.”) Fred Hsas, the loser, cracking one off the tenth tee yesterday at Congressional. BY ALBERT WILSON, Assoclated Press Stafl Writer. ONDON, June 29.—Four Ameri- cans remained in the chase for Wimbledon's major tennis titles today as singles fields in the all-England championships were cut to 8 ‘n the men’s division and 16 in the women’s. In a day of routine play that pro- duced no particular thrills, Sidney ‘Wood, New York's clever shot-maker, joined Donald Budge, the California red-head, in the men’s quarter-finals with a comparatively easy conquest of Harry Hopman of Australia. The two California feminine aces, Helen Jacobs and Helen Wills Moody, moved uneventfully into the fourth round of women'’s competition. Making it unanimous from an American standpoint, John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison, tcp-seeded com- bination in doubles, reached top form for the first time since they arrived in England and mowed down the crack Japanese pair, Hideo Nishimura and Jiro Yamagishi, 1n straight sets. Budge and Gene Mako of Los Angeles advanced in the same division. WOOD. generally rated the most formidable of Fred Perry's chal- lengers, played carelessly and list- lessly against Hopman, but he had no real trouble in taking a 6—1, 6—4, 3—6, 6—3 decislon over the Australian. In each of the three sets he won Wood piled up a 4—1 lead at the outset and never was in any danger of elimi- nation at any time. Wood's quarter-final rival will be Jack Crawford, top-ranking Aus- tralian, who put out George Patrick Hughes, British Davis Cup doubles player, after a stiff battle, 7—5, 4—8, 6—4, 6—2. Budge, who gained the quarter- | finals yesterday with an upset triumph over Christian Boussus of France, will | meet H. W.

Andrews of New Zealand, 4—6, 6—1, 6—4, 6—0, will be fa- vored to win. The other pairings will send Perry against Roderich Menzel, big Czech, who put out Enrique Maier of Spain, 6—3, 6—0, 0—6, 6—3, and Gottfried von Cramm of Germany against Vivian McGrath of Australia, victor today over Nigel Sharpe of England, 6—1, 6—3, 7—5. Neither Miss Jacobs nor Mrs. Moody were pressed to earn their fourth- round brackets in the women's divi- sion. Miss Jacobs was carried to one deuce set by Nancy Lyle of Eng- land, but won at 7—S5, 6—1, while Mrs. Moody eliminated the British squash racquets star, Susan Noel, HADLEY AND RIVAL GOVERN BY TURNS Gomez Strong Starter, Bump Sensational Finisher in 6-to-3 Battle. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. Staff Correspondent of The Star. EW YORK, June 29.—Bump Hadley pitched some of the finest base ball of his career ] today, but neglected one essen- tial. That was to begin at the be- | ginning. So the Yankees, stealing the horse before Bump locked th stable, won another game from thc | down-trodden Nationals, 6 to 3. Not until midway of the game did Hadley start pitching the best brand 6—1, 6—3. PERHAPE the most sensational de- velopment of the day, however, was the form Allison and Van Ryn displayed in whipping Nishimura and | Yamagishi, 8—7, 7—5, 6—1, to reach the doubles fourth round. Previously unimpressive here this Summer, the American Davis Cup pair played as a smoothly working unit for the first time, overcame stubborn resistance from the Japanese in the first two séts and then sailed through the third | set at a dazzling pace. Mako and Budge, & round behind, eliminated G. R. Meredith and D. W. Butler of Great Britain, 6—4, 6—1, 6—3. Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Moody should have an easy time winning berths in the quarter-finals. On Monday the American champion will play Mrs. E. C. Peters of Great Britain, while Mrs. Moody meets Miss E. Cepkova of Czechoslovakia. If both win, competi- tion will get tougher, for Mme. Rene Mathieu of France, will stand in Mrs. Moody’s path to the semi-finals und‘ Eileen Bennett Whitingstall blocks Miss Jacobs’ bid for a place in the last four. 0K SEEMS SURE OF PRO J0B HERE Has Long Conference With Kenwood Leaders—Would Be Fine Addition. IFFY COX, the wisecracker and fine golfer from the Dyker Beach, N. Y., mu- nicipal course, appears cer- tain to be the new Kenwood Golf and Country Club professional. Wifly, of the comedian reputation and the great long iron shots, spent four hours talking over business af- fairs with Kenwood officials yesterday and at the end a guarded statement came from the Kenwood club that “it looks &s if Wiffy may become the new Kenwood pro within a week or 10 days.” The Brooklyn man, who has won many tournaments along the Winter circuit, although he has yet to boast a major crown, is said to have been offered a satisfactory financial deal for the job which Al Houghton tossed over two weeks ago to g0 to Indian Spring as executive secretary and playing pro. Has Fine Temperament. NOFFICIALLY, it was said the deal with Cox virtually is closed, and the ex-gob, who served on a United Btates destroyer during the war and finished third in the 1934 national open championship, is more than likely to change his residence from Brooklyn to Washington within a fortnight. Wiffy would be a considerable addi- tion to the professional ranks around ‘Washington. He not only is a guy who takes golf with a laugh but one who can play considerable golf when he gets himself geared up.

ARINE STADIUM, LONG BEACH, June 29.—Cali- M fornia’s Poughkeepsie con- querors proved today that they are oarsmen of speed as well as of endurance when they won the national intercollegiate sprint regatta in record-breaking time of 6 minutes 51.6 seconds. The Golden Bears crossed the finish 8 feet ahead of Washington, but the race was so close that there was no open water between the victors and the fourth-place boat, Pennsylvania. Syracuse was third. Four thousand persons who lined the banks of the Olympic games row- ing site cheered wildly at the finish, which brought the four boats across the line well under the course record of 6 minutes 28.2 seconds, set by the sturdy Italian crew in one of the preliminaries of the 1932 Olympic games. ‘Washington was clocked in 6 min- utes 16.2 seconds. The timer caught Syracuse in 6 minutes 19.1 seconds and the Blue and Red in 6 minutes 22 seconds flat. Is Stirring Battle. ‘There was a tight struggle from the time the oarsmen of the four boats broke from the starting barge to the final sprint, with no one of the quartet holding an appreciable advantage. The fine, precise sprinting ability of the Golden Bears gave them the vic- tory. . In the consolation event, the Uni- versity of Califorina at Los Angeies defeated Wisconsin by 4 feet in the time of 6 minutes 41.8 seconds. ‘They had been eliminated in the pre- liminaries yesterday.

VANSTON, I, June 29.—Wil- bur Hess of Rice Institute, and Leonard Patterson, a com- tant competition from California Tech, came back with spectacular rallies to- day to reach the final of the National intercollegiate tennis singles cham- pionship. Hess, four games behind in the first set and trailing again in the second, rallied to defeat Ernest Sut- ter of Tulane, 7—§, 7—5, 6—I1. Patterson lost his first two sets to Russell Ball, Northwestern sophomore, but back he came to win the next three and the match, 4—6, 4—6, 6—3, 6—4, 6—2. ‘Tomorrow they meet for the cham- pionship.

But by that time the Griffs were trailing by six runs | and that seems to be a margin slightly too liberal to concede the league lead- lers. As a result, the Ruppert rifles | handily squelched a late Griffian rally to win their second tilt in a row and their seventh in eight starts this sea- son from the sixth place Harrismen. It was an odd ball game. Between them, Hadley and Lefty Gomez pitched one remarkable game. Gomez practically was invincible for the first five innings, disposing of 15 of the 15 Nationals to face him. Joe Kuhel | broke the string by looping a lucky single over shortstop in the third | inning. i Then just when the Griffs began t | get to Gomez, Hadley rendered hi imitation of a real pitcher, disposine of 12 of the last 13 batters to fac him. He hurled hitless ball in th last four frames, the odd man, Tonj | Lazzerri, walking. Murphy Ends Griff Rally. OF THE two evils, however, Hadley was the worst.

SCRANTON, Pa, June 29 (P)— Death today summoned Jack O'Neill, one of the famous O'Neill base ball family. He was regarded as an ace catcher in the major leagues a quarter of a century ago when he played with the St Louls Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs. He died from pneumonia. Jack’s major league career ended in Boston when he suffered an eye injury. With his brother, Mike, he formed one of the outstanding brother batterles in the majors. Another brother, Steve, also a catcher, is a coach with the Cleve- land Indians. Still another brother, Jimmy, left the majors 10 years ago when stricken ill while playing third base for the Washington Senators.
