GENNA COLLECT
FEARS OPPONENT
. In TOURNAMENT
WOMAN GOLF STAR PREPARES
FOR COMING MATCH WITH
FoUR-TIME WINNER OF KAN
sAs CONTESTS

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. a.
GIenna Collects most dangerous
rival this year she considers to be
Mrs. Fl. d. Sterrett, four-time win-
ner of the Kansas State champion
xhip and leader here last year in the
qualifying round of the Florida East
Coast title tournament, an affair IN
which Miss Collect proved TO be the
sole survivor.
aSally" Sterrett, as her intimates
love to call her, is the most improv-
ed golfer among American women to-
day. This is the opinion of Miss Col
lett herself, who has watched with
interest the fashy career of the
Hutchinson player.
Mrs. Sterrett is tall and slender,
possessing much of that grace which
Is deemed one of the essential requi-
sites of the master golfer. She has
an even, sunny temperament, which
accounts for her widespread popular
ity and also for the fine progress she
has made in the old game.
Mrs. Sterrett's skin with the irons
has improved steadily until today she
ranks close to the national champion
In the deadly use of these instru-
ments. Much of this Improvement
has taken place since Mrs. Sterrett
led the representative field last
March here in the championship tour
nament in which she Is again an en-
frant and which Is TO be held over the
st. Augustine links, starting March z.
For this reason she has become Miss
Collects most dangerous rival.
After she won the medal year
ago, with a splendid round of 81,
Mrs. Sterrett did not progress very
far in the competition, falling VIC
Tim to that jinx which is forever
camping son tie trail Of those who
show the way in the medal rounds
Her 81 was the best score ever
made on the st. Augustine links ur
until that time, and gained Mrs. Ster-
rett q temporary place in the spot.
light. Miss Collect, in the final match
of the tournament, reduced the rec
ord to 70.
This year the course has under
zone reconstruction, several change:
having been made on several OF the
holes and the women win again &C
after a course record.
Although there are several other
renowned golfers in the field beside
Miss Collett, including Mrs. Dorothy
Campbell Hrrd, the Misses Virgins
Van VIE, Dorothy Klotz and Heller
Payson, the Kansas star is generally
considered the one Miss Collect viii
have to defeat if she is to retain her
laurel sprig.

Possibility that one of the efforts
to pierce the barrier of rock and
earth in the shaft to the eighth level
where the men are imprisoned $50
feet under ground may be crowned
with success today did not, however,
deter men engaged III three other
rescue attempts.
Today's hope lies in making an
entry from the bottom OF the shatt'
clogged midway by the cave-1n.
Admittance TO the lower Levels
of the mine is gained by con-
nections from the shaft of an
adjoining mine Working upward,
rescuers had penetrated tne
twentieth level after several days OF
hazardous efforts. Completion OF
timbering win permit easy egress TO

might climb up to or nearly to the
eighth level.

On the eighteenth level, 257 feet

faces the possibility of rescue first,
Above him, on the thirteenth level,
two other inspectors are believed to
be waiting.
The other succor efforts are:
A diamond drill starting from the
second level. 327 feet below the sur
face, early today was calculated to
be 375 feet from the goal. This PA
inch bore is being made to establish
communication and TO furnish food
and water.

ton have 900 feet to go. They cleared
100 feet yesterday.
Relatives, anxious, tired, but still
hopeful and patient, displayed the
restraint Of mining blood as they
crowded about the rescue workers
No one will give UP. Every one is
sure the miners live; that they will
be rescued.
Meanwhile ambulances. physicians
and nurses wait to care for the men
when they are reached.

WORLD COURT DEAD
T0U.S:, MANY HOLD
Friends in Washington Be-
Iieve Fight Was in Vain;
Change improbable.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The World Court, so far as the
United States is concerned, is dead
Friends of the court are discouraged.
President Coolidge plans no more to
resuscitate the issue and when the
various powers deliver their diplo-
matte notes they will be advised that
their reservations do not constitute
an acceptance of the American reser-
vations. And that's all there is to it.
If the foreign governments want
the United States to enter the court,
they must modify their reservations.
This is considered here unlikely, for
the American Government did not
ask for a position of equality but
special privileges of veto. There Is
no disposition here among World
Court advocates to ask the foreign
governments to recede from their
position and permit American entry
Senators who made a valiant fight
to get the Senate to adopt the proto-
col with reservations say they have
done their utmost and that nothing
more can be done.
Change Is Not Probable.
Thus ends a movement which
reached a point Of intensity year
ago after organizations had been de-
veloped throughout the country to
secure the assent Of the Senate. The
reservations attached were considered
very complex, but it was hoped Eu-
rope and the rest of the world would
take them. 1t was contended by foes
of the court that Europe would accept
anything; that foreign countries were

ST. LOUIS, Mo, September %
The Teapot Dome controversy again
has steamed into view, with the Gov
