ARMY LOADED
FOR MARINES,
SAYS BUTLER
Quantico Commandant UnwiII-
ing to Play Third Corps
Area Team Next Season.

n ALTIMORE, Dec. 4.-The Ma
n rine Corps fotball team will
not play theThird Army Corps
team as such next year, and will
refuse any challenge sent by an
army team not called and ad-
mitted to be in fact an "all-
Army" team, Maj. Gen. Smedley
d. Butler, commandant at Guam
tico, announced yesterday. In an
interview he intimated that the
Third Corps team, which played
in Venable Stadium Saturday,
was padded" with the best foot
ball talent available in the
United States army.
II Third Corps Area officials
challenge in the name of an all-Army
team, the challenge will be favorably
considered. but the Army team must
sail under true colors.' General
Butler declared. He had been asked
concerning the prospects for a re-
newal of Saturdays game in Nenable
Stadium next year.
An officer of the Third Corps Area
intiInated that the change may he
accepted if approved by General
Muir. the new commanding officer.
FROM ALL OVER L. S.
IN the first place We will not
play the Third Corps team next
year" he declared with emphasis.
I'VE will not play any team not
called an All-Army team. The
team we played Saturday had
players drawn from many sections
of the country not in the Third
Corps area. One-Noyes-is a for
mer Naval Academy player. and
Vidal and French are West Point
men. Men Were called from points
as far distant as Massachusetts and
Alabama.
THE Marines team was an All-
Marines team and we admitted it,
We have beaten a Third CORPS
team twice and il is not worth
while to play them again. unless
we admittedly are playing team
representing the whole Army"
WILL NOT AFFECT PROMISE.
General Butler wanted II made
clear that the Marines have no feel
ing on the subject He also declared
that failure of the Marines to plav
an Army team in the stadium would
not affect his promise to Mayor
Broening that the Marines will play
one big football game and one -hig
baseball game in the stadium each
year.
I'VE have "A fine schedule, includ-
ing several games with college teams
for next year, and one of them can
be played in Baltimore" he said.
I'VE are completing our stadium.
but that will be used for the Quan.
tico post team to a large extent. II
will not affect the status of the
Marine Corps team with Baltimore" 4"
APPLIES ALSO TO NAVY.
General Butler declared his ulti-
matum applies with equal force to
the proposal that the service classic
be made three-cornered by including
a, Navy team in the scramble for the
service championship. The sugges-
tion was made to him. that the
Hampton Roads team might be
played.
So far as Saturdays game was
concerned, :. General Butler was de-
lighted at the wonderful success of
the entire program. He had only
one suggestion to offer, and that
was that the height of the stands
be raised to permit more solid mass
! ing of the cheering sections.

YOUNG KING

FINEST TYPE

Smile Is a Winner in Victory.
and a Consolation in Defeat,
Say All Who Know and Like
Eugene Sarazen.
BY BRYAN MORSE.
WATCH Sarazen's smile.

" When the national open
champion comes here Sat-
urday to perform his unusual
stunt, the first ever given in this
country, mark his physique, take
a look at his stocky shoulders, his
powerful legs. Glimpse the firm
set of his jaw. Look at his
wrists, his hands, his fingers. But
above all watch his smile. Sara
zen is the perfect type of athlete.
Clean living. out-of-doors activity,
wonderful vitality is the hallmark
of success for the youthful cham
pion as much. as his disposition
and temperament. Gene SaraZen
at twenty-one is national open
golf champion. He is one in ten
m lion. He is also the
idol of thousands and thou
sands of caddy bows. For Sara
zen rose from caddy to assistant
pro to worlds champion in about
three years.
But it is Sarazen's smile that
is his stock in trade. He smiles
when he loses. which is the hard
est thing to do. Sarazen is a good
winner and a better loser.
Within six months Sarazen came
from nothing to the world cham
pionship. 1t is generally conceded
that the national open golfing cham
pionship of the United States is
now equivalent TO the worlds title.
