K. (Hap) Burtner had been a darned good bowler for many years around Washington and was a happy man until he took up golf. -As a novice he developed a gigantic slice. It was one of those round-house curv- ing slices that he started away off to the left of the fairway and brought around in the middle. Nothing was more dependable about Hap’s game than his slice. His iron play would go sour, his putting would falter, but the steady old slice remained, and nothing Hap could do about it would stop it. And no man worked harder to cure it. One day Hap was playing with George Diffenbaugh at Indian Spring. They came to the thirteenth hole, & par 4 affair with an out-of-bounds fence at the left, all the way along the fairway. By some new-found kink in his swing Hap slugged a rolling hook over the fence. He teed up another ball, and hooked that one over the fence. “Come here, boy,” he yelled to his caddie. “You and I are going to take a walk.” Hap and the caddie stalked into the club house, and from that day to this Hap Burtner never has touched a club. “Why should 1.” he asks. “I licked the slice, didn't 12" That was five years ago, and Hap hasn't hit a golf ball since. The national championship of club champions will be played again during February at St. Augustine, and one or two of the local club champs may get down to that Florida city to play in it. Dates are February 15 to 20, and Claude Harmon of Orlando, Fla., is the defending title holder. Moorman Improves. Jartmouth Thrice Victim of Interference Rule 9y the Assoclated Press.

MEET KEEN RIVALS Canadiens Play Maroons, Amerks Face Bruins in Big League Engagements. EY the Associated Press. NE’W YORK, December 12.—With the double purpose of breaking their tie for the International Division lead and staving off the challenge of Hockey League’s “surprise teams,” the Montreal Canadiens and New York Americans, take on two of their keen- est rivals this week end. ‘The Canadiens engage the Maroons tonight in their third intra-city strug- gle of the season; tomorrow the Amerks take on the Boston Bruins. The other two week end struggles con- cern the American section race, almost as close. The New York Rangers, who dropped to second place a point behind Detroit's champion Red Wings on Thursday, meet the Maple Leafs at ‘Toronto tonight. Detroit visits Chicago tomorrow to tackle a “natural” rival, the Blackhawks. So far the flying Frenchmen hold the edge in Montreal's city strife with a 2-1 victory and a 2-2 tie, but the Maroons have been moving up steadily and now are only 2 points behind the pace setters. Even in their poorest sea- | sons, the Americans had the habit of staging lively brawls with Boston and frequently winning them. They'll be strengthened tomorrow for the first clash of the year with the Bruins by the addition of Jeff Kalbfleisch, young defense man, and Lloyd (Deed) Klein, big veteran winger, recalled from New Haven. ‘Toronto, near enough to the Maroons to be in striking distance, has a score to wipe out against the Rangers, a 5-1 defeat inflicted in New York, while Detroit’s Red Wings want to take the sting out of a 2-0 setback—Chicago’s only victory of the season—accom- plished while the Detroit injury list was at its longest.
