going is this: That at least
fair majority of players that we
see struggling along, getting no
better year by year, could I'M

I'll be more dogmatic and say
this: That there is no earthly rea-
son why any individual who is In
good health and who takes the
game up before he reaches old age
should not be able to improve to
point where he is entitled to a
reasonably low handicap.

bECx DEFENDS ] HIS
 RESIDENT STATUS
Slys Hone h Washington Can't
 Dsqs,lIJ Him in House

Washington. Feb. $ R>-James M. Beck charges today that to deny him his seat in the house as re- publican representative from Penn syiyania because he had home in Washington would disqualify nearly half of tho senate and d consider able number in the house.
 Defending himself from demo- cratic charges that he was not an inhabitant of Pennsylvania in con- stitutional sense when he was elect cd, Beck declared before a house elections committee that an lncreas- ing number of senators had acquired homes in Washington and lived here the greater part of the year. being only occasionally in the states they represent.
 If the doctrine of rredomlnate physical presence is to prevail, Beck declared. then Senator Bora n could not hold his seat. when he lives far more in Washington than he does in Idaho. Senator Lodge lived nine months of the year ,n Washington and when not in Eu- rope. spent few months in h,s sum- rrer home In Massachusetts, Seua- tor Knox lived the greater part of the year in Washington and while he had country residence in Fenn- sy]vanis, he voted from 3 room in 3 hotel in Pittsburgh,
 Therefore my residence III Wash lnston can be eliminated unless this committee is prepared to suggest wholesale slaughter of our most prominent men in public life in the matter Of their eligibility.
 Beck said he was born in Fhila- delphia and for years was a resi- dent of that city, but admitted that for II: years he had been a resident ef:New York and New Jersey, yot- trs for several years in New Jersey. In 1se4 he added, he decided to re- s,me his residence in his native city. H. said further that he has a resi- dence in Washington which he rur- chased before he became solicitor general.
 Beck coutended that he was an ''inha bitapt" of Pennsylvania Tn the meaning the framers of the constl- tuition had given to the word. passing his contention upon his establish ment of a legal voting residence . yrar and a half ago in Philadelphia preceded by the public announce ment of his intention to resume his Philadelphia citizenship.

 Today's ceremony was informal. with moving picture cameras over Joking the long table at which Clau- del and 0lds sat.

FlNDNO TRACE Of
 LOST FISHERMEN
Ca,stgu,ld etta ss,rcbsd
 L,ks Eris With Fatls Results

BUnAt0, N. Y., FoD. Wl-LAPt4ln Paul Former and his crsw of coast xuardsulen returned to harbor this morning without finding ten fisher- men who were reported mapooned on an ice Doe In Lake Erie since yesterday. -:
 Break nrouyh Ice
 Captain Former and his men pushed out into the lake in the, di- rection of Fort Erie and Crystal Beach. Canada, where the men were believed to have been fishing when the ice noe broke away.
 They reported that they saw no indication of open water for ten miles around their tug. which broke through heavy ice on its way out from the hsrbor. This area in- cluded the place where the ice hoe is said to have broken away.
 Shortly after II o'clock tho Buff falo Evening News chartered m air. plane and instructed William Lee. assistant city editor, and two pilots to make night over the lower end of the lake.
 Doubt Expressed
 Some doubt was Expressed today that the men are missing. Nathan iel Duffy, director of the airport. piloted | plane along the Canadian shore yesterday after. he had re- ceiyed reports from two sources that the men had been carried out into the lake after the hos broke away. Duffy new as far ss Port Dover and thence across the lake to the American shore near Wood lawn but found no signs of the men on the does beneath him.
 Rendents of tho Canadian shore. however. felt certain the hshermen were adrift and helpless to aid themselves in near-zero weather. The search was pressed on their positive assurances.
 Early today coast guards patrol ling the American and Canadian shores. said they had watched all night in vain for fire signals. but having seen none, had no definite idea as to the location of the hoe.
 Lost Sunday
 The missing men were swept up the lake Sunday afternoon by . north wind after . field of ice on which they were fishing broke away from the main field near Windmill Point, ontario, only . few miles from this city. Observers on shore watched the little group until tho huge ice cake had been blown from sight. Coast guardsmen endeavored 10 launch boats to go to the rescue, but intervening ice thwsrted their efforts. The tug Edward E. will leave this port today in. an effort to break through. .
 Observers on shore were unable to determine the exsct number of fishermen on the ice. pack or the identity of the men. all of whom are said to live in the vicinity, of Long Point Ont In addition to their bsit and fishing tackle. they had with them provisions for one or two meals and wood with which to kindle . fire. Fish. if they had caught any. would serve as an ad- dttionsl food supply. Danger lurked. however, not only in the severe cold. but in the possibility of the bif cake of ice on which they float ed breaking up or being caught in a jam and turning over. The ice is about six inches thick.
