F. Densmore Shute, the thin steel man of golf, has wielded by a master of the blade, is mightier than the mightiest tee shots hitter of them all. Denny Shute, born 32 years ago in sional around eight years ago, after a series of sectional amateur triumphs professional match play champion- ».lp because he was able to call on all putter he uses at a time when it was rank poison to Jimmy Thomson. sional Golfers’ Association as & cham- pion should win it, winding up a bit- rugged No. 2 course here with an eagie 3 on the 473-yard sixteenth In the final analysis it was Shute's putter, expertly handled by one of the nineteenth championship of the Professional Golfers’ Association. “And mour today. “He's just the same kind of golfer he was when he won better putter.” ‘Two lengthy putts that smacked into twenty-ninth holes of the match yes- terday between Shute and Thomson them. Going to the twenty-seventh the match was square. But Denny deuce at the twenty-seventh and rapped in another of 35 feet for a , 85 Jimmy Thomson was concerned that match was over. In Danger Seldom. 'HE new champion, unemotional as he has been for a week of medal and match play, kept pouring tee shots down the middle, knocking his second shots on the green and rolling the approach putts stone dead. Even at the thirty-first hole of the match, ‘where he hooked to the rough, Shute poured & second shot up there around the pin, closing the only opening he had given to the big bam of golf since the twenty-sixth hole, where he made a bad bunker shot. He practically wound up the match by knocking a No. 1 iron wallop 10 feet from the pin at the thirty-third, where an error would have left him only 1 up with two long holes coming up in the next three holes, where Thomson's tre- mendous length might have given him the edge. But in the end it was the accuracy and pin-splitting predi- lections of the thin man of golf that ‘won him the victory. Seldom did he waver from the straight and narrow path to the hole, and very conceivably a stymie on the twenty-eighth robbed him of an even greater margin of victory than the convincing 3 and 2 count by which he won. Those two putts on the twenty-seventh and twenty-ninth won the match. He didn’t need the #6-footer for the eagle on the thirty- fourth, the final hole of the match, for Jimmy had missed his bid for the birdie and walked over to shake | hands with the new champion. But Denny, cold as ever, apparently un- perturbed by his victory, rammed home the putt. That left him two pars for a final round of 70, a brand of golf which was entirely too hot for Jimmy Thomson. Had Shute finished with two pars, he would have | been exactly par for the day, for he went to lunch 1 up with a 74 behind him to Thomson's 77. $30,000 Winner Since 1929. FTHIS victory is Shute’s biggest win in this country. Aside from the British open, which he won in 1933, he has won more than $30,000 in cash since 1929. Among his conquests have been the Miami-Biltmore, world's richest golf affair; the Glens Falls open and many other open tourneys. He is the son of a golf professional and literally grew up on the links. Thomson, long as he is from the tee, never displayed the pin-splitting accuracy of the new champion. Thrice Jimmy squared the match and looked as if he would forge in front, but each time one of those lengthy putts rolled in from Shute’s blazing putter and the door was closed. Shute waded through the strongest fleld ever gathered for the P. G. A. title. He beat successively Alick Gerlak, Al Zim- merman, with a 6 under par round; Billy Burke, the 1931 open champion; Horton Smith, Bill Melhorn and finally Jimmy Thomson. Melhorn gave him his toughest match, a con- test where Shute, 2 down with 4 to play, nosed out Melhorn on the thirty- sixth green. Through all these matches, Shute’s putter pulled him through the tough spots. The man is an iceberg and a great putter. Jimmy Thomson didn’t play bad golf, in any sense of the word. He banged the ball as far as the human frame can bang it and at the end the thin man from Brae-Burn, using his putter like D’Artagnan’s rapier, wore him down. The putter still reigns the supreme golf weapon. Shute’s victory won him $1,000, & gold medal and his name on the Rodman Wanamaker Trophy. Lots of golfing guys would like to have that. But they’d better get a red-hot putter. HEIGHTS ELEVEN COPS. Scoring in all but the third period, Congress Heights' gridmen blanked the Takoma Volunteer Fire Depart- ment’s eleven, 15-0, yesterday.

HE dull thud of the mighty fall- ing from tall heights still is echoing down the last few strides of the stretch. North- western and Marquette hung on until their final games before Notre Dame and Duquesne sawed off the branches, leaving Santa Clara a lonesome figure in the untied, unbeaten list. Fordham’s jolt from Georgia was almost as important in the final sum- | ming up. Just how much Saturday's | draw will affect Fordham'’s Rose Bowl dream is not yet known, but certainly it will be no great help. The Ram couldn’t get steamed up in this last party, and Georgia did, with something to spare, . In spite of this, Jimmy Crowley led his squad through a tough sched- ule without being beaten. That's something, at least, no one ean take away in a season when so many pow- erful teams were not only whipped, but torn apart on certain afternoons. ‘The Two Tops. 'HE two strongest squads in the country today are Minnesota and Louisiana State. They would be the pick against any other challenger. Both run around three deep, which means 30 or 35 men who can be rolled into action. Both squads are big, fast and seasoned. Pittsburgh is among the leaders, just back of this pair, for all-around playing strength. More will be known about Santa Clara after her game with Texas Christian. Stanford, St. Mary’s and Auburn have been her leading oppo- nents so far and these all have been teams. So far as most of the others are concerned, there have been too many good teams for without getting ni defeat or a tie or both. The Bowl Situation. THE team that now dominates the bowl situation at Pasadena and New Orleans is Louisiana State, pro- vided, of course, it can handle Tulane this week, With Minnesota out of the picture through a Big Ten regulation, L. S. U. - | stands alone as the leading chal- lenger. The rumor is around that the Sugar Bowl of New Orleans has L. S. U. in mind and will make a big play to keep this delegation on Louisiana turf. L. S. U. is easily the best card either bowl can get. ‘There will be a tight snarl if Wash- ington State trims Washington this week. Washington will be a slight favorite, but the last few weeks show that no one is safe in this weird med- ley of overturns. If Washington wins, the West Coast will turn first to L. 8, U. If the big Southern team decides to play in New Orleans, the West Coast will be on the spot. If Fordham’s failure to beat Georgia, beaten so badly by L. S. U, and Tennessee, rules out the Ram, then Pittsburgh or Alabama or Duke is the next choice, with Alabama pos- sibly favored. Inside Facts. 'THE fact that Georgia, for slmost the first time this season, came along in good condition is overlooked in the matter of sising things up. All season long, Georgia has been held back by injuries and ailments. The team never had a chance to get going until the Florida game two weeks ago. It has been moving in & hurry since. On the other hand, Fordham stepped into one of those de- Pressing afternoons. The team looked far below the form it showed against Purdue. You had the impression it was taking this game for granted—so why hurry?

Tinsley insisted on moving into Fordham’s backfield re- peatedly. He didn't want to play guard anyway. If he couldn’t play on Georgia’s backfield, he decided to try Fordham's. Wojciechowicz Again Standout. OJCIECHOWICZ was again a big factor in Fordham's play. Geor- gia made little ground while he was in action, and, for a change, the | | stocky center figured in a lateral} thrown from a forward for a 40-yard gallop. Franco, with a bad ankle, lacked his earlier speed. | Fordham’s first-string defense still held up, but, outside of one flurry, her attack was absent. Part of this was due to the flaming spirit of the Georgia team, where ends and backs on occasions dived over blockers to snag or at least check the Ram ball carriers. No bowl move can be made until after this week's games. Washing- lton, L. S. U. Alabama, Pittsburgh | and others under consideration still have another hurdle left in a year | that has been deadly poison for fa- vored teams. The favorites might all | swing back to normality this week, but it's no safe bet that one or more don’t meet the fate of Fordham, Mar- quette and Northwestern. Most of them have traditional rivals to tackle, and when this happens you can tear up most of the past performance | charts. Minnesota already has proved her | place, inspite of her one defeat from 25 games, and if L. 8.

It clicked in public fancy for the first time on Saturday. Now it has a three-year background with 6-0, 12-6 and 7-6 scores and unlimited possibilities, in- cluding that of squelching the George- town alumni yell of a renewal of the Hilltop-Virginia series.

INEHURST, N. C, November | ) 23.—The rumor factory is run- ning full blast here at Pine- hurst, the one spot in the East where golf is the sole sport which gets the big play, and the one spot where rumors get around like Man o' War's stretch run. Hard on the heels of the rumors come the newest things in golf equipment, which John Q. Duffer won't see until next Spring, but which are on preview here five months in advance of the opening of golf in the North. The rumor buzz-saw has the top | pros all quaking in their brogans | with the main trouble the apparently well-founded tale that the sports goods manufacturers who go in for hiring the lads to play their balls and other equipment are going to put | a flock of the boys on the chcpping | block next Spring. The bsceround‘ is this—one of the leading manu- facturers has some 24 men on its | pay roll, playing the ball and other | equipment, another has a dozen or 50, and you can't find a big name pro who isn't hitched to the star of some particular manufacturer. | ‘The bigger they are the more dough | they get. But even the small fry, if | there are any such on the pay rolls | of the ball makers, get & minimum of $1,500 a year, which is a fairly sweet piece of change as & retainer in this game of golf, which isn’t noted | for paying its top performers out- standing dividends. Manufacturers Take Beating. Blrr the rumor factory has it that the sports goods manufacturers | have been taking such a fancy lick- | ing on the fiscal side this year that| they will be forced to pull in their horns next year. And the rumor- mongers have it that the first step in the ecenomy move will be to lop off many of the highly paid pros and | turn ‘em loose. If that happens the tournaments again may become just a few guys named Joe playing for their own glory, instead of Spalding against Wilson, or Dunlop against Hillerich-Bradsby, or what have you? On the new club side of the equa- tion, the putter is coming in for bigger | and better inventive genius. Nearly all the new gadgets in golf this year, for next year’s showcases, center around the putting green, although there are the usual run of newly minted irons and the customary crop of highly polished wooden clubs, fresh from the factory. R Conceding that putting is the most important part of the game of golf —as any sensible person must—the putter is getting its full share of ex- perimentation here. The queerest gadget is a putter made with a roller on the front of the blade, which also faces on the narrow sole of the club. Can’t Stab Ground. | idea is that this club cannot be stubbed into the green and even | if stubbed the roller will make it move | through the line onto the ball. In- asmuch as it looks to be a mechanical | device, which the fathers of the game | don't particularly like, it appears the roll putter will be a lost ball when | next season rolls around. | club house and not a ha | the gents at the gate have a smile and *¥ A—19 ndle Ax 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR 'O Washington boys are, slated to start in Navy's line-« up against Army this week end.

It will have no effect on the championship, which ale ready has been won by Central. But no official judgment has been given on it and maybe it will become legal. Another putter has no grip for the left hand. Instead, on top of the shzft is mounted a big ball of alum~ inum, which thins down to a feather edge where it goes onto the grip. The idea here is to grip the ball in the left hand, with the thin edge between the fingers, and hold the main grip of the club with the right hand, using the left only as a focus for the swing of the blade. It's the invention of Bill Tryon and “Hyka" Gouveneur of upstate New York, and they think it will go, unless Bill's entertainment | rap to put it over comes too high. Bill Mehlhorn and Herman Barron used it in the championship. The other putters more or less follow the general pattern, but one or two of 'em come with cute little covers which appear to be poodle blankets. Golf really is going sissy. Soon they’ll have covers for all the cluos Show Is Put on Right. BUT it’s been a great championship. If there's one spot in America equipped to put over a tournament like the P. G. A. it is Pinehurst. From the viewpoint of a working newspaper man they ought to hold it here every year. In the first place you can see some of the golf. There aren't a lot of guys and gals stepping all over your toes when you want to see a pro whiff one in a bunker. The crowds haven't been anything to marvel at, but the golf has been red-hot. Then there aren't a lot of burly cops around looks ing tough and toting guns and speake ing out of the side of the mouth, “Show your badge there, buddie,” and shoving people around. And I haven't | yet been told to “clear the fairway” and “move around the green” by some overzealous gallery marshal, just as if a guy who has seen a few golf shots hit over a few years didn't know as much about it as some gallery herder who hasn’t broken 90 since the day he birdied the eighteenth for an 88. You can park your car fairly close to the f-mile away, a pleasant word instead of a snarl and there isn’t a “don’t” sign around the place. They really know how to put on a tournament here at Pinee hurst. Not a hitch nor a missed signal in the whole show. It’s a lesson to the overzealous fellows at other spots, or should be.
