~ EORGIA TECHS Golden
Tornado, the best Dixie has
Y produced in foot ball this
~ year, has blown out to the
Pacific Coast to take up the
conflict where the Crimson Tide Of
Alabama left off.
The South has been producing
more than an ordinary share of
great foot ball teams in the past
few seasons, but not even the Tide
of Alabama swept westward to Pas
adena in quest of intersectional hon.
ors with any greater power at its dis
posal than the Tornado of Georgia
Tech, headed for the New Year day
game with California In the famous
Rose bowl at Pasadena.
Foot ball is prone to the superla-
tive. Current accomplishments are
apt to overshadow past achieve
ments, whether justly or not, but
Dixie rates this Georgia Tech array
which swept through to the South
ern Conference title as the strong
est it has ever had. Consequently
high hopes are being erected that
the Tornado will sweep to victory
over the Golden Bears.
Tech will battle with a great line
and set of unusually hard-hitting
backs. It is difficult to pick the

CHICAGO, December 26.-Johnny
Weissmuller. one Of the world greatest
swimmers, will sing his swan song to
amateurism on January 3 to dive into
the more prosaic business of earning a
living.
Weissmuller. in a letter to W. G..
Uffendell. chairman of the athletic
committee of the Illinois Athletic Club,
explained that he must look into the
future and try to earn some money.
something an athlete in constant train
ing finds hard to do"
Weissmuller did not state In his let
ter what he intends to do to earn
money. but friends are reported as say
ing that stage appearances are includ-
ed in the program.
The swimmers final appearance as
an amateur will be made January 3
at the Cook County interscholastic
swimming championships at the I. A. G.
When he pulls himself out of the water
the last time that night, he will hold
nearly every free style world record In
pools from so to $50 yards, indoors and
outdoors.
Weissmuller was given his first try
out by the I. A. G. in 1920 by Coach
William Bachrach. In his first race he
broke a world record. He later swan
100 yards in a 60-foot pool in 49 As, the
greatest feat of his brilliant career. He
was on the American swimming team
at the 1924 and 1928 Olympic games.
In the National A. A. u. champions in
Honolulu WeisSmuller, after swimming
his strenuous program. competed in the
880-yard swim and broke world
record.
In a marathon swim last Summer
Weissmuller found the water so cold
that he had to be helped out before he
had finished the course. This Winter
he has been training for cold water
swimming by taking a daily dip in
frigid Lake Michigan.

CLUB has passed the buck to

~ONGRESSIONA COUNTRY
CLUB has passed the buck to
Tommy Armour and 1t Is up
~ to him either to accept a con-
siderable cut in salary or to
move on to other fields.
The club has advised the Junior MEM
ber of the Armour golf1ng family that
it cannot next year afford to continue
paying the relatively large salary 1t
has paid him since he won the open
championship.
The amount of the salary is not gen.
orally known, but Is said to be very
near five figures, and on top of this
goes all the concessions in the way OF
lessons and sale of golf accessories.
The club feels that 1t cannot afford to
pay such a salary to a man who is
away from Washington for such large
part of the year. and it is understood
to be offering Tommy the alternative
of being stay-at-home pro with
cut in salary or finding job more to
his liking.
Meanwhile. Notwithstanding the reti-
cence of influential members of the
club. it Is well understood that several
firSt-claSs professionals are bidding for
the Congressional post, among them
two we'll known local professionals. The
inside dope on the situation, as ex-
pounded by man who should know, is
that Congressional will go outside of
Washington for its professional. in case
Tommy Armour is not with the club
at the expiration of his contract on
March 18 next. This would mean that
Alex Armour, who now Is foremost in
the list of bidders for the post, will not
be with the club next year. But the
matter still is very much in the air
and next year may find the graceful
game of Sandy still on exhibition at
Congressional. With true Scottish
foresight, however, the elder Armour is
angling for a job in the New York dis
trict. in case the Congressional post
goes to some one else.
Always Big Money Maker.
Tommy Armour, ever since he turned
professional four years ago at the re-
quest of the United States Golf Asso-
citation, has been one OF the biggest
money makers in the professional game.
Two years ago, before he won the open
championship. he was ranked next to
Hagen as the biggest money maker
among the members of the paid
brigade.
Certainly Armour's ability to extract
spare change in the provinces did not
diminish after he won the open last
year. and he is said to have signed
contracts within q month after his
