Golf has spread to such an extent
now all over the country that it might
be difficult to say how many entries the
East, Middle West, Far West, Northwest,
Southwest, South and Southeast should
be entitled to place in championship
test. There will always be an argument
or a kick of some sort, no matter what
type of championship Is named. But
the sectional qualifying system seems
to be much the Saner way OF handling
the Job. In the first place, no golfer
then will have to take long trip and
fail to qualify. II he fails. 1t will be
near home, and he will be at almost no
expense. Today more than 100 golfers
each year, four-f1fths of the field, lose
time and money In long trips that
lead to qualifying failure.
They would be up against no such
handicap in failing to qualify at home
or at least near home, since a number
of spots would be named to cover every
section.
WITH "a qualified to enter, the re-
w niainder Of the program is simple
enough. These "a report and start So
hole matches on Monday, the opening
day. 1t is also point worth speaking
about to know that GA golfers, in place
Of 80, would have their shot at match
play. Some fine match play golfers are
too uncertain or too weak at medal play
to break through the qualifying round
They would have a better chance, a two
to-one better chance, under the sec
tional qualifying system.
But until this system is worked out
and started there Is almost no chance
that the present 18-hole matches will
be abolished. They are not as sound
and conclusive a test as the longer
routes, but they give the championship
greater action, and also make the win
ner meet and handle situation where
he must get away at top speed. The
weak point is that the poorer golfer has
a chance at 10 holes where he would
have little opportunity to hold up at SO.

The important thing, however, is that
the rules makers, headed by Edward K.
Hall, have sought and gained the aid Of
the men who mould the game and the
players. The new tumble rule, put in to
minimize the breaks" was drafted
largely on the recommendation of the
coaches. If they also will cooperate in
eliminating screen pass" complications,
the jobs of gridiron officials will be made
considerably easier.

only answer to this tangle Of results
seems to be that Maureen has as much

instead Of something on brokers blackboard,

But an urban civilization, drawing us farther

In the overpopulated Asiatic and Slav coun-
tries and, for that matter, in the sparsely set
tied regions of our own, where the alternating
processes of civilization have held of longest,
there are still millions of people who, via rain

Intimately with the idea Of the God behind
the manifestation.
To pray for rain to end . drought or to
pray for the strength to wear last years coat
without humiliation, because times are bad due
to drought. are two expressions of the same
impulse differently motivated.
The reality Of Thanksgiving. as the American
moves farther and farther away from the soil,
fades into a pale symbol buried beneath an
elaborate ceremonial Of gastronomics.
The fatted turkey gobbler, strutting, poor
wretch, toward the fourth Thursday Of Novem-
Der, has become the idiomatic meaning Of
Thanksgiving. Precious little Of his historic,
religious or pious spirit seeps through TO the
mountaineering youngster or the marketing
housewife. There are those, of course, who
contend that at best the holiday Is gratuitous.
As matter of fact in some of the Southern
States, previous to 1858, there was open oppos
