With that in mind the association now has ruled that playing of a practice shot is contrary to the custom of the game and entails loss of the hole. That's| also reasonable. For years there has been division of opinion about a ball lying on a bridge erossing & water hazard. That rule now is cleared up by the United Btates Golf Association which. rules that the ball must be played from the bridge or dropped under the wa- $er-hazard rule. But if the bridge does not cross & hazard he may drop without penalty not nearer the hole. | Frequently either in match or medal play you'll find that two competitors play the same kind of golf ball. The association now recommends that each player mark his ball so there may be no mix-up which might en- tail loss of the hole in match play | or loss of strokes in medal play. TU. S. G. A.

Certainly there are cases where the rules seem to con- flict, but there's hardly a case where any incident occurring in the game 4sn't covered by one rule or another.

You'll find lots of cases where there $= some doubt about the out-of-bounds | rule, whether the inside edge of the | Une or the outside edge is the line to | follow. The U. S. G.

But if the committee | marks the boundaries with a white | line, the outside of the line shall be the course boundary. Stymie Causes Misgiving. WITHOUT mentioning the stymie ) by name, the annual report of the U. S. G. A. says: “It has been brought to the attention of the Rules of Golf Committee that certain rules and regulations of sectional associa- tions or local committees show a ten- dency to depart from the rules and tradition of the game, and the com- mittee has viewed such action with no little misgiving. *It cannot express too strongly the hope that all sectional associations, elubs, committees and golfers in gen- eral will endeavor to play the game in accordance with the rules estab- lished by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club’s Rules of Golf Committee and the United States Golf Asso- ciation. Any other course leads to eonfusion and develops among golfers an uncertainty as to their rights which must impair, if not destroy, the pleas- ure of the game whether in a friendly match or an important competition.” GRID WAR A STALEMATE Police Boys, Congress Heights in | Third Scoreless Tie.

ETROIT, January 11.—Jack Kearns, erstwhile fight man- ager turned promoter, en- tered his new fleld with & long stride last night—announcing a $400,000 offer to Heavyweight Cham- plon Jimmy Braddock to fight Joe Louis here. Referring to the Max Schmeling “boycott” in New York as offering Detroit the opportunity for the title fight, Kearns said he had sufficient financial backing here to “bid with any promoter in the country.” Offers Louis $200,000. K!ARNS, former manager of Jack Dempsey, turned fight promoter a few weeks ago, his first such ven- ture under an agreement to stage shows at Olympia, the big indoor arena where the Detroit Red Wings play hockey. He would stage the heavyweight fight in June at Navin Field, home of the Detrolt Tigers. ‘The $400,000 offer to Braddock, Kearns said, was accompanied by a $200,000 proposition to Louis. He said he gave Braddock the privilege of a percentage as well. He has wired the offers to Braddock and Louis. Claims Financial Backing. INSISTKNG Braddock had small chance of engaging Schmeling be- cause of the “boycott,” Kearns said Detroit “is the natural place for a Louis-Braddock title affair.” “It would give Joe a chance for the title in his home town, and I have financial Backing enough to bid with any promoter in the country for the | title flight,” Kearns said. | Welterweight Champion Barney Ross for a non-title bout here January 29.

AN FRANCISCO (#).—The Pa- cific Coast basket ball cham- pionship is largely in the hands of a lean young man who, like his famed fellow countryman from San Francisco's Italian colony, has ‘won unspared acclaim in New York. At Stanford University they're al- ready hailing Angelo (Hank) Luisetti a5 “the greatest basket ball player ever to perform on & Pacific Coast floor” and declaring that with Hankus on the team the Cardinals have the conference title in the beg. ‘The East concurred in the local appraisal and marveled at his marks- manship and gyrations when the slim Italian boy paced Stanford to a 45-31 triumph which halted Long Island University’s great winning streak at 43 straight games at New York's Mad- ison Square Garden in & year-end holiday engagement. Di Maggio of Basket Ball 'HIS was the first setback for the prides of Brooklyn since midway § | of the 1935 campaign. Blackbird par- tisans were sorely disappointed over the loss to Stanford, but the Garden rang with an ovation seldom given a visiting troupe or individual. To the Gardenites Luisett! is to basket ball what San Francisco’s Joe Di Maggio is to the New York Yankees. Luisetti and his 14-point average per game are credited with Stanford's clean-up of the southern division championship race in the Coast con- ference last season and the Indians' clinching triumph over Washington in the 3-game championship play-off. Luisetti is tops in basket ball and basket ball is tops with him. He goes in for no other athletics and spends the off-season cramming on economics in preparation for a business career. Has Another Season. THE rangy lad went to Stanford from Galileo High School, San Fran- | cisco, along with & rumor that Luis- | etti never had played in a losing game. “That isn't exactly correct,” he ex- plains, “but I guess you could say that all the teams I've played on have been right up around the top.” Luisetti is 20 years old, stands 6 feet 3 inches, weighs 184 pounds and is a junior. That means headaches for opponents not only this season, but in 1937-38, too. He played in all 29 of Stanford’s games last season, was & unanimous choice for all-coast forward and was picked on several all-America quintets. Last year he scored 167 field goals and made 82 free throws in 125 at- temps for a total of 416 points. | Fast, Great Shot. | “] UISETTI is fast, extremely clev~ | er and a wonderful shot,” says Cardinal Coach John Bunn. “He is& spectacular dribbler and an accurate passer. Hank also is an exceptionally | clean player, and has few fouls called | on him despite the fact he handles the ball a great deal. “In addition to his scoring, we think mighty highly of him on de- fense.” Luisetti by no means is carrying Stanford’s burden alone. The four other men who carried the Cardi- nals to victory last season are back again—Howell Turner at forward, Capt. Dinty Moore and Jack Caldere wood at guard, and Art Stoefen, | cousin of Lester Stoefen, the tennis star, at center. NEW STARS BOB UP IN TRACK CAMPAIGN Rideout Twins, Sugar Bowl Aoces, Get Big Meet Bids—Weast Proves Sprint Marvel. By the Associated Press. YORK, January 11.—The Winter track season, only two weeks old, already has produced two athletes who may be heard from a few more times before the board pounding season is over. In the outdoor Sugar Bowl meet at New Orleans in December it was ‘Wayne Rigeout of North Texas Teach- ers’ College who stole the show. Alded by his twin brother, Blaine, he not only conquered Indiana’s Don Lash in his specialty, the 2-mile run, but did it in time second only to the 8:58.3 Lash turned in at Princeton last year. At the opening indoor meet Satur~ day the Columbus Council, Knights of Columbus, games in Brooklyn a Co- lumbia University sophomore, Herb Weast, outshined Lash and other fa- mous performers by running 100 meters in 106 seconds for & world indoor record. Weast’s remarkable performance clipped a full fifth of a second from the listed mark, held jointly by Bob McAllister and Karl Wildermuth, and considered almost unbeatable. Two watches caught him in the record gait as he outsprinted Marty Glickman, Olympic sprinter from Syracuse unie versity, after tralling in the two shorter races of the sprint series. The Rideout twins already have been invited to tour the “big-time” meets which begin next month with the Millrose games here, and Weast probably will have plenty chances to match strides with Glickman, Eulace Peacock, Ben Johnson and other sprint stars.
