Other and worse golfers | Works Administration tennis team than he have done it before, and | entered have gone farther, even to the throne tself. For there's a new Roger Peacock #oing to Cleveland next week, a man who has tossed over all the experi- menting and the tomfoolery of his earlier years. Roger is an idealist in golf, always striving for the perfect shot. After three years of first-class golf he has finally arrived at some- thing near his ideal. He is like Bob Jones used to oe, back in the days when Bob was the uncrowned king of the amateurs. But like Bob he has gotten over the hump of the “perfect” shot phobia and is satisfied now to hit the ball as well as he can hit it and let the results speak for themselves. A week of golf like Roger has had | at Indian Spring would win the | championship for him. It isn't likely | to happen. In fact it probably is | something like a 200-to-1 shot against | him, but the boy friend from Indian Spring is good enough to win any tournament in which he starts, even the big one with Lawson Little in it. Roger has had five consecutive Tounds of golf over his home course for an average of 68.4 against a par 71. If that isn't stroking the ball as a champion should stroke it, we don't know a sliced brassie shot when we see one. Dark Horse, but Able Player. | SO THE Peacock man will leave Washington about the middle of rext week for the national tourna- ment, strictly a dark horse. But he is a dark horse who has plenty back- ing, confidence, shotmaking ability and tournament experience. Don't be surprised to see Roger get along pretty well in the amateur title joust. He has the stuff. Roger finally has learned that all winning shots are not perfect golf shots; that every champion misses a few now and then. With that knowledge has come something new to the Peacock lad, the main idea being that if he misses fewer shots than the other fellow and Hoesn't places. He still strives for that ideal of all golfers—18 holes jof golf in which every shot is hit as it should be hit— | but he isn't worried any more about | will the shots that don't come off as he | status of the old favorites but it ma; wants them. By Thursday most of the local en- the Departmental Doubles League last Spring to emerge as champion in its first year of com- petition. : For, you see, the P. W. A. team had college men on its roster from nine institutions of higher learning, col- leges whose spirit had engendered a frame of mind in its sons to acknowl- edge no superior merely on the basis of reputation or tradition. Georgetown, Harvard, Yale, Duke, V. P. I, Chicago, Arizona U.. Penn Military and Johns Hopkins—all con- tributed to the make-up of the newly formed P. W. A. team, and the record made is shown by the final statistics, which reveal it at the top of the heap matches the league's schedule. It mattered not to the P. W. A. net- men that the Patent Office, G. P. O,, Treasury, Agriculture and like bureaus had been, for many years, members of the league.q They had two crack players—and they had the spirit. That old war-horse, Tom Mangan, came back to the courts in the final stages of the season to pair with Duke University's Don Garber to win five matches. The old Georgetown star didn't seem like the man who left the Hilltop years ago. It was a revitalized Mangan that paired with Garber to play unbeatable tennis. But to Nathan Scott, jr., of Yale and Lawrence J. Schmidt of Chicago University go most of the laurels for the team’s impressive record. This doubles pair played in all but two of their team’s league matches, and of the eight foes they met, not one could | take their measure. comprising | the season in the encounter with Coast § and Geodetic Survey, the second op- ponent on the schedule, the cham- plons “finished” in a rush that saw them take 27 out of the last 30 indi- | vidual matches played. Only Patent Office and the Farm Credit Adminis- tration could take as many as two out of the five doubles matches com- prising a team match. Georgetown had two other members of the team in Burton Decker and B. L. Padgett, while Harvard contrib- uted two—Bob Bradley and Philip Benton. Arizona University sent Risque Gibbs; N. O. Wood, jr., came from V. P. 1., H. D. Padgett from Johns Hopkins, and Emilio Nunez from Penn Military College.

As defending champion Miss Moore would have been seeded No. 1. A game which will doubtless remain at “love” for a long time was started last Friday when Nelson Spottswood, cne of Argyle’s team, married Anne Hart of Santa Anna, Calif. The wed- ding was given a court atmosphere through the presence of Neil Ander- son and Larry Phillips as ushers. At least one Washington net star is becoming theoretical ahout the game.

HICAGO, August 31.—Lawson Little appreciates how dim- cult will be the defense of 2 hutnhe‘ U:lmd States amateur cl ipionshi; - o sepamplonship at Cleveland Sep Little is keen enough campaigner to realize that six grim, nerve-tearing days of superior shot making will be necessary if he is to retain his cham- pionship and achieve his goal of four national amateur titles in two seasons. A goal, which if gained, will write an entirely new chapter in golf. Harold Hilten of England won both the British and United States cham- pionships in 1911 and Bob Jones duplicated the feat in 1930, but Little will be the only man ever to hold the two titles in consecutive years. So this morning you will find Little polishing his game over the fairways of the Medinah Country Club, west of Chicago, under the watchful eye of Tommy Armour. Little came to Ar- Up His Putting Stroke. | the best or the worst part of it was | that, with a 4 on the last hole for a 31 on the back nine, Urban used up | 6 blows before he holed the ball.

By the Associated Press. ! ONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah, B glittering marble-hard salt flats were dressed down today for the run Sir Malcolm Campbell hopes will boost the world automobile speed record to 300 miles an hour. Workmen scraped the surface and prepared to lay down a jet black line |13 miles long, a ribbon along which | the nerveless Englishman will guide | his six-ton mechanical monster, Blue- | bird. Sir Malcolm, 50-year-old holder of | the present record of 276.816 miles an hour, will transfer his headquarters from Salt Lake City to Wendover, about 10 miles from the flats, tomor- L | row and expects to make a trial run 3 some time Monday. | General belief was that he would | | roar down the straightaway during the morning hour. A run before 10 o'clock would enable him to escape annoying cross winds. The glare of the sun likely would be less intense then. It was learned he will push his 40- foot-long speedster up to around 250 miles an hour in the trial spin. If he is satisfled with mechanical conditions and the snow-white roadbed responds, it is not unlikely he may make the record attempt immediately. —— 'HUNT ONLY D. C.

AUBURN, Ala, August 31 (®)— Take it from Coach Jack Meagher, Auburn will not be a “hold 'em” oot ball team in 1935. The Plainsmen boasted a fine de- fensive line last year, but lost most of their major engagements by closc scores because of the lack of an c’- -| fensive able to convert scoring chances into points. This year, Meagher says, will be 8 different story. “We're going to hold onto that ball and let some of the other fel- | lows try to hold us,” he said, 1 ’ | | 0TEST BLUEBIRD August 31.—Miles of | He plays Manuel Alonzo, vet- 8 | Gene Homans was beaten in the finals and the title safely won. Golf cham- pionships are tough business any time, but doubly difficult when a man is shooting at a new world record. Fortunately for Little's chances at Cleveland he is adept at winning 18- | hole matches. Few golfers like the single-round matches, for in them the margin for error is reduced to a min- imum. They require that a player | start at full speed and maintain an | unbroken stride to the finish and the man who does not swing into the lead | on the first nine usually can be certain of a hard struggle down the home stretch. But Little has won two British and one American championship where the play was all at 18 holes up to the finals. He has the ability to play high-geared golf from the very start and his tremendous drives are para- lyzing to an average opponent. Practices All Year, 'HE Californian is one golfer who practices diligently over the en- tire year. One heard last Winter he was busy at practice on the Stanford course instead of playing in Winter competitions and when he came to the Master’s tournament in Augusta, prior to sailing for Great Britain, his game was on keen edge. Occasionally Little will lapse into some of the faults of his pre-cham- pionship days, but when that happens he visits Tommy Armour and has the | trouble cured before it can become | dangerous to his play. Little’s tremendous power and length will serve him well over the Cleveland | Country Club course and he stands to win there unless the nearness of a record becomes an intolerable strain.
