Cc—2 Golf Engineer Fights Sand Traps : New Nine f [sn WATERING SYSTEN HOLDS THOUSANDS ARE UNNECESSARY Slow Play, Seldom Bother Stars, Irk Duffers, Is Tillinghast’s View. BY W. R. McCALLUM. AND TRAPS on golf courses are on the wane and all but the necessary ones will vanish from the links scene if he has any- thing to do with it, according to Ar- thur W. Tillinghast, prominent golf course architect who represents the Professional Golfers’ Association on course construction work. Tillinghast, a genial soul who goes around the country under the aegis of the P. G. A, giving free advice to | golf clubs whose pros are P. G. A. members, estimates he has condemned | Eome 8,000 traps scattered over golf | courses throughout the length and breadth of the land, and has a weather eve peeled toward the condemnation | of thousands more. But there is one | trap in which he firmly believes, and which he says should stay. He calls this trap the “friendly” trap and be-i lieves it aids play. speeds up the game | and helps the duffer. Has Condemned 8,000 Traps. *JT IS a matter of record,” Tilling- hast says, “that I have condemned nearly 8,000 sand traps. I have con- tended that these have been main- tained at considerable cost to nearly 400 clubs, that they unnecessarily | harass the great majority of those | who take to the game for pleas- | ure, without in the least causing that | comparatively small number of par | shooters to give them a thought and | usually inject a thoroughly discordant | note and smudge an otherwise beau- | tiful picture of rural landscape.” But there is one trap which Tilling- hast enthusiastically defends. not from the angle of the par shooter, but from the slant of the guy who strokes the ball in the 90s and con- siders it a great day when he breaks into the 80s. This “friendiy” trap i5 the one located below a green on | the slope of a hill. Take a green situated on a hilitop as so many of‘ them are these days, with steep slopes | falling away on three sides. A ball which misses the green will fall away | into some abyss or run down a steep | glope into major trouble. Cases like this, from the Tillinghast viewpoint, call for placement of “friendly” traps along the slopes. | Traps Speed Play. E ARGUES, and rightly, that it's far better and far easier to play & shot from a trap near a green than to go 50 feet away down a steep slope and try to play a pitch shot up the hill to a slippery green. He also argues that these traps will speed up play and stop the over-and-back busi- ness of playing to a hilltop green. It happens. Take the second green at Washington, which is one of those hilltop affairs. Before Dr. James T. McClenahan greens chairman. surrounded that green with traps, the number of balls which ran over the green on both sizes was astonishing. It slowed up play, it fumed tempers tothe breaking point and generally was unsatisfactory. Now those bunkers catch a ball off the line, play is speeded up and the hole, while retaining its toughness, isn't the back-breaker it used to be. That’s what Tillinghast means by the “friendly” trap. And he's on the right track. A.AU (Continued From First Page.) i at that distance. As a schoolboy he ran both the half and mile, and Caril | ©Olson, his coach, believes him capable of running the 8 furlongs under the present world record. The races between the quarter and mile will have plenty fine material to draw from, but the sprint fields will be weaker than usual unless Eulace Peacock and Ben Johnson, who broke down just before the Olympic tryouts last Summer, re- turn to their 1935 form, and Sam Stoller of Michigan changes his mind about retiring. It is not yet definitely known whether Ralph Metcalfe will race this season. The pele vault and present practically | & SPORTS. Sports Program For Local Fans TODAY.

Tilts Tomorrow Will Give High School Fans Basis for Comparison. ENTRAL'S second test in the public high school basket ball campaign against tomorrow in the first game of a twin bill at Tech High gym is| awaited with keen interest by court fans who employ comparative scores as a basis of analysis. 1 the second game Eastern’s show- i expected to determine whether the Lincoin Parkers merely were lucky in their last-second victory over West- ern or whether they finally have hit their stride. Eastern meets Woodrow Wilson, trounced by Western, 24-12, in its debut. Trimmed by Tech, 22-19, Roosevelt will seek to nudge its way back into the title fight with a victory over Cen- | tral, but the Columbia Heights quint looms as a favorite to score its second riumph in as many starts. Bailey Is Ruff Rider Threat. ! ALTHOUGH held to 4 points in the ‘l tied Tech tussle, Capt. Frank Bailey looms as Roosevelt's chief scoring most point-crasy lads. Sam Fox, burly Central center, also will bear watching. Held scoreless from the floor in Eastern’s two series starts, Clint Quan- trille, generally conceded to be one of the smoothest centers in the local schoolboy realm, may strike his true coring pace and is a threat to Wilson.

Invaders’ Record Good. TEN games out of 12 played have been won by the demon Deacons, who bring the scalp of North Carolina, Southern Conference champions, as they attempt to tomahawk the Co- lonials. Wake Forest did not lose its second game until last night, when it was beaten by North Carolina State. But the Colonials have their own ideas of scalping and should be at their best on a floor on which they uary night in 1935, Maryland won its only start at College Park a week ago when it routed Hopkins, but the Terps must beat Western Maryland tonight to hold their average above .500, Upset by Richmond in the season's opener, and held in check by a 6-foot-7-inch center at Washington and Lee, Mary- land evened its season's won-and-lost standing only by a rout of V.

Playing a smooth floor game, Georgetown was ! particularly alert at retrieving its own shots off the backboard.

PREP BASKET TITLE HOPES AT GONZAGA Victory Over Eastern High Team Scored by Purple in Late 12-Point Spurt. BRIOHT hopes of its team making a definite challenge for the private school championship were aroused at Gonzaga High School today, following the Purple’s 20-26 conquest of Eastern on the latter’s court. St. John's, the prep champion for | the past two years, and Gonzaga's biggest rival, recently nosed out tne interhigh champions by one point after dropping an extra-period game earlier in the season. Gonzaga ran up a 11-0 score yes- terday before Coach Mike Kelley real- ized the Purple was no set-up and injected his first-string five. Al- though the regulars rallied at once to outscore the visitors during the re- mainder of the half, the intermission found .Gonzaga ahead, 15-10. Nearly parallel scoring marked the second half. drives Scoring called a halt and started a spurt of its own, which accounted for 12 points, while Eastern only made 3. There was no time for an Eastern counter- rally after Gonzaga assumed the lead for the last time. Gonzaga.

Topography Is Excellent. FOUR years ago Donald Ross came to Washington to see what could be done about improving the Con- gressional course. He built the pres- ent 10th and 11th holes, cutting out the old inordinately lengthy 10th which stretched out to more than 600 vards. And he also looked over the property between the present 13th fairway and the club house, went down in the woods with a topogra- phical map and submitted plans call- ing for nine darned good golf holes. It isn't anything new to learn that it won't take much work to build a course over there in what looks to be good golf country. Indeed some of the club members claim nine holes built there will be as good a nine as theye is around Washington. But the fairway watering angle is new. It's strictly ip line with current thought among the golfers around town—to the general effect that a golf course which doesn't have watered fairways will be more or less passe within five years. Other Clubs Cramped. SU?\IMER congestion also plavs its part in the decision of the club to construct another nine. Like most of the clubs around Washington the Con- gressional club has heavy play dur- ng the months from April to’Novem- ber. But unlike most of the other clubs Congressional has ample room for expansion. They are in a par- ticularly fortunate position in having | the necessary land and in having the | ground ail cleared and ready for the course architect to go to work. Chevy Chase and Columbia would like to expand but they do not have the avail- able property. Indeed Columbia is getting overgrown. hitherto vacant field west of the fifth hole. hard by, the fence where Bobby Jones once knocked a couple of golf balls out of bounds in an open championship, is going up a row of small houses.
