HEAD OF PENN STATE
FOR COACH ON BENCH

Taking issue with statements of Pres

Thomas, president of PENNSYLVANIA
State College. and Hugo Bezdek. foot
ball coach Of that institution, at the re-
cent annual meeting of the Pittsburgh
alumni. declared that the place Of the
coach was on the bench giving di-
rections.

Rezdek asserted that the coach knows
more about the personnel of the team,
more about their faults and good uuali-
ties, than q leader among the PLAYERS,
and thus is in a position to obtain the
results most beneficial to the players.

captain while in competition. as the
president of Yale has suggested. no end
Of dissenSion would crop up. In many
cases the morale would be ruined, and
all because several players disagreed
with the player-captain's IDEAS

Their opinions run follows:
Arthur Havers. British open cham
pion--I feel a lighter ball might work

II have no objections to the present
standard make.
Jimmy Ockendon, French champion
The lighter ball might be u good
thing, but the present make is all
right for me
Joe kirkwood--A lighter ball would
make the game more scientific. Merr
smuggling would not suffice. Wind
would have to be allowed for. a man
would have TO know how to cut the
ball with the wood to hold the green's.
As it is now, stars can use their
mashie niblicks or mashies for their
second shots.
Jock Hutchis0R-If they make the
change to lighter ball they will ruin
the game. AS for science, l believe
1t is much harder TO control a heavier
ball than light one. Every one
likes long hitting.
Gene sarazcn-One could score bet
ter with Il light ball. Also easier to
control. 1t would pitch right to- the
pin and hold the greens easily. y
lighter ball puts better than "a
heavier one. player has TO know
how to cut to make the heavier ball
Walter Hagen-The fun Of golf lies
in long driving. Leading players
would not be greatly affected by the
Tighter ball, however. But in a wind
the average golfer would be lost
using a lighter ball, would never get
around. The star is intent upon d
low score, but the average player

He will miss that fun with the lighter
