Gonzaga TUTOR 1S EAGER 10 PRACTICE LAW Would Help College Grid| Squad—Purple to Tackle Western Tomorrow. BY BILL DISMER, Jr. ONZAGA may be playing its last foot ball game under Orrell Mitchell tomorrow when it meets Western on the Georgetown field at 3:15 o'clock in the final game of the aseosn for both teams. Athletic director and coach of three sports at Gonzaga since the Fall of 1930 and referee in numerous foot ball and basket ball games each season, Mitchell is known to be looking in other directions for a job after the current school year ends, next June, ‘where he may capitalize on his recent passing of the District bar without forseking his coaching activities alto- gether. Such hopes of the lawyer-coach ‘were expressed when he was discuss- ing Gonzaga's 1936 foot ball sched- ule. While pointing out its high qual- ity, Mitchell unconsciously remarked, | It's a fine schedule for us—or who- | ever takes my place.” ‘Wants College Work. T WAS then that the popular mentor revealed that he would like to go into thelaw practice for which he is trained and at the same time hang on to the grid-teaching game, probably as an assistant coach at some local college. There is little doubt that his services will be snapped up by some District institution. Mitchell's six-year reign as Gon- egaga's athletic chieftain has been marked by outstanding success, per- enially exemplified through the pres-| entation of smart, alert, well drilled | teams. Regarded highly by both fac- ulty and students of the I street school, Mitchell seeks a change only because of his twofold desire to begin law work and to coach older boys. The dark, curly-haired coach long| has felt the urge to become affiliated with the bigger, more important col- | lege game, although he has found pleasure and appreciation of his abil-| ity in his work at the private high | school. While his loss to Gonzaga would be irreparable, officials there, cognizant of his ambition, will not| stand in the way of his self-advance- | ment. Red Makes Progress. HAT loomed as an easy season end game for Mitchell's boys Just a fortnight ago, now appears as & threat to the successful close of one | of the Purple’s best years on the grid- dron. Improving faster than any one| dreamed possible, Western has shown enough power and class in its last two | games to throw fear into the hearts of Gonzaga's gridmen. A 13-6 defeat of Roosevelt, previous to a mere 1-| point defeat at the hands of Washw ington and Lee High last Friday, make Western nothing to be taken lightly. John Hatch's return to ac- tion makes Gonzaga's task even more formidable. In fact, comparative scores favor the public high eleven ever so0 slightly. Gonzaga licked Roosevelt by the identical score of ‘Western’s ‘conquest, but was defeated by one touchdown by the same Ball- ston eleven that just eked out a 7-6 victory over Western.

McCALLUM. ’OODEN-SHAFTED golf clubs fast are disappearing from the golf kits of the links- men of Washington and the Nation. Not a single champion- ship in this sector and probably not one throughout the country has been won this year with wooden shafts and it's rapidly getting so that you will find a har dtime getting a wooden- shafted weapon made anywhere, so widespread has the vogue for steel shafts and factory-made golf clubs become. “It's getting so that the fellow who plays wooden shafts is a rarity,” says Bill Hardy, clubmaker in Bob Bar- nett's shop at Chevy Chase, where Bob was the last bitter-ender in the fight among the local pros for wooden shafts. “We can hardly find a market for wooden-shafted golf clubs anywhere,” says Al Price, Rock Creek Park pro and one of the city's better club- makers. Once in a while tucked down in the golf bag of a first-class player you will find an old wooden-shafted weapon completely surrounded by a kit of steel-she ‘ted tools. He usually keeps it either for sentiment (one of those rare clubs which he can use for al- most any shot) or as a utility club to bang the ball out of bad spots where he doesn’t want to scar his steel-shaft- ed clubs or risk breaking a shaft. Few Orders for Old Type. BUT on the whole the business of handmade golf clubs has gone into & serious decline and one out of which it probably never will be revived. There are quite a number of golf pros around Washington who know plenty about making wooden-shafted golf clubs, but this year they probably haven't had a dozen orders for a set of wooden-shafted clubs. Bill Hardy, Al Price, Peter Jackson, Monro Hunter, Dave Thomson, Fred McLeod, all served apprenticeships at the bench in a golf shop in the days when wooden-shafted clubs were tops. | Today their chief business along the line of club manufacture lies in send- ing back to the factory a clubhead and a cracked steel shaft to be re- paired. Bill Hardy is the only one who really goes after the business of making clubs, and his business is largely along the line of placing steel shafts in wooden heads for the long- hitting clubs and in shafting steel heads with steel. He has relatively little wooden shaft business. The modern golf shop work bench has be- than a place of major construction work, and the steel shaft, the brain- child of Allan Lard, a Washington inventor, reigns supreme in golf today. MacDonald Smith Prefers Wood. ONLY one topnotch golfer in the United States still holds out for wooden shafts. That man is Mac- Donald Smith, the aging Scot, who should have won half a dozen major titles and has yet to grab his first one. You couldn't lay the blame for Mac's failure on wooden shafts, either. Rather, it has been his putting, which has betrayed him at the crucial spots in championships. Scattered throughout the land are a few manufacturers who make cus- tom-built, wooden-shafted golf clubs, | but the great bulk of golf club sales SPORT afted Golf Club Now Rarity < STRAIGHT OIF THE TEE by W. OT many people know about it other than those invited, but each year about this time At- torney General Homer S. Cum- mings, who plays his golf locally at Congressional and Manor, stages a golf party at Pinehurst to which he invites some of his friends and asso- clates.” They are down there in the sand- hill country now, and, according to A. Linde Fowler, the Boston boy who is handling Pinehurst publicity this year, the “A. G.” is quite a putter, he hasn’t shown any too much of around Washington, where he usually gets around in something near the century mark. With Cummings are Joseph E. Davies, president of the Burning Tree Club, and a noted international lawyer; W. A. Julian, Treasurer of the United States, and George S. Silzer, former Governor of New Jersey. ARTH'UR B. THORN, former Wood- mont Country Club pro, now located at Lancaster, Pa., stopped off in Washington for a few hours yes- terday to visit some of his friends in the golf shops here, with news that his boy, who suffered an attack of in- fantile paralysis two years ago, is well and strong. “Abe,” as he used to be called at ‘Woodmont, is to play golf around New Smyrna, Fla., during the Winter, and he is plenty “hot,” if he plays as he did over his home course a couple of months ago, when he shot a 63 over a 6,500-yard layout. Young Herb Eshelman, captain of the Yale golf team, is the best ama- teur in the club, Thorn says, and is a good enough golfer to go places in bigtime company. Eshelman played in the intercollegiate championship at Congressional last June, tied for last place in the match play rounds and lost in a three-hole playoff to Bill Welch of Texas. Over at Congressional, where Roger Peacock, District amateur champ, is trying out his shots these days, the amateur is going to give Roland Mac- Kenzie a rub for scoring honors. Roger waltzed around that lengthy layout in 73 whacks yesterday, a score one stroke above par. Mac- Kenzie scored at 71, while Sandy Armour, who also played, was around in 75. Sandy is spending a few days here before going to Boca Raton, Fla., for | the Winter, where he and brother Tommy and stuttering Charlie Penne will hold down the fort. BOB BARNETT, Chevy Chase pro, is all set to shove off tomorrow morning by motor for Miami Beach, where he will spend the Winter at the exclusive Indian Creek Country Club. Bob will drive down with his family in a car piloted by Neil Turner, former Central High golf captain. Elwood Poore, now a pro at Media, Pa., also will be in the Barnett golf shop at Miami Beach. Wiffy Cox of Kenwood and Ro- land MacKenzie of Congressional are to leave Washington for the South | later in the week. All three will play in the Biltmore open. THE four players in the final round of the turkey tournaments at Rock Creek and East Potomac Parks today are of steel-shafted weapons. Just as the golf ball has been mod- ernized, so have the clubs, and there isn’t any doubt that the scoring average has been lowered. Whether wood or steel is longer still is a moot question, but most of the pros have it that steel is a little longer from the fairway than wood. But, whatever the decision, steel is here to stay. A wooden-shafted golf club in the bag of a first-class player is a rarity today. R.MECALLUM are to meet Priday in a challenge match to be played at both courses. | Claude Rippy and Charlie Ficco, win- ner and runner-up at East Potomac, will clash with Volney Burnett and Telford Gibraski, victors at Rock Creek, in a home-and-home contest. Meanwhile, the five leaders in the medal round of the Rock Creek Park affair were to meet this afternoon to decide the medalist prize, another tur- key, which should go to Nick Altrock and probably won't. Nick shot a 71 two weeks ago to lead in the medal round, but it already had been de- cided that the lowest five scorers would meet later in a play-off, so the fir: go didn’t count. ; ‘The others are Gibraski, Levi Yoder, Jack Crook and J.
