joyce Wethered Worlds Finest
Golfer, Sandy Armour Declares

she is fully as skilled with the irons
and in the short game as the best of
the men. Frankly, If she entered the
British mems amateur championship
she would have as good chance as any
man to go through and win it,"
Coming from a man with the known
conservatism of Sandy Armour and from
the depth of a knowledge of golf that
stretches back three decades and more,
this was a most surprising statement.
For we've seen Glenna Collett, Maureen
circuit, Virginia Van VIE and the rest
of the woman stars of America play
golf, and we can't see where any of
them would have a chance with Bobby
Jones in a match on even terms. When
woman and man stars play in compe-
tition, the women are usually given
a half stroke a hole handicap. But
Sandy insisted that Joyce Wethered
would need no handicap from the best
of the man golfers of the world, no
matter what the conditions of play. It
was a most astounding statement.
IT have seen Miss Wethered play
with her brother, and with Tolley and
with other big hitters of the game"
Sandy said. And know that when
they all hit their tee shots well, Miss
Wethered is not more than 10 yards
behind them. Such difference as that
means little when such hitters as Roger
Wethered and Tolley really meet the
ball right They are as long as Bobby
Jones, and If Miss Wethered can keep
along with them she should keep along
with Jones tee shots. I've seen Miss
Wethered go around standard length
18-hole course in II and 70, without
any trouble, making mistake here
and there, but getting her pars and
brides in the same way the men get
theirs. In addition, I think she has
finer touch with the short game
than most of the male stars, and she is
as powerful with the iron clubs as they
are"
Armour's statement is fully backed
up by Bernard Darwin, famed British
golf critic, who has seen Miss Wethered
play often since her voluntary retire.
ment from competition. and declares
that she is playing better than ever
before. Miss Wethered got tired Of
winning tournaments and retired from
the competitive game two years ago.
Since that time French woman golfers
have been uniformly successful in Brit
ish women's events. Doubtless great
pressure has been brought to bear on
Miss Wethered to bea back the for
eign invasion, but she has remained in
retirement.
So, If Sandy Armour is right-and he
usually is where this golf business Is
commemorative greatest golfer in the
world may be woman. And it may be
that If Bobby Jones engaged her In q
singles match he might come of second
best.

FIGHT OVER NURM|
ALREADY IS RAGING
Decision of Finn to Run in
Boston Brings Protest
by New York Meet.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, January 21.-Paavu
NurmiS second American tour has Just
begun, but already disputes have broken
out among sponsors of rival track and
field meets
Irate over what he termed Nurmi's
sudden decision" to run In the knights
of Columbus games in Boston next Sat-
urday night, Jack Harris, member of thu
committee handling the Masonic benefit
meet here the same night, has protested
to the Amateur Athletic Union. assert
ing that there Is no doubt that the
Phantom Finn" was Influenced by a
man or men with power in official track
circles"
Harris said that his committee had
been virtually assured that Nurmi would
run In the Masonic meet and that ar
rangements were made to obtain the
intercollegiate A. A. A. A. banked track
SO that the Finn could run in spiked
shoes, either In one-hour race or in
the 3.000-meters run for the Hugh H.
HirShon trophy. Nurmi gained leg on
the Hlrshon trophy during his 1925
invasion.
Although the Masonic meet officials
had received no signed entry blank from
the famous Finn, they did receive such
assurance as may be considered valid"
Harris declared
Then came the announcement that
Nurml would compete at Boston In a
Emile run against a field including
Leo Lermond, best of this country's dis
lance racers.
In letter to Daniel J. Ferris. secre-
tary-treasurer of the A. A. u, Harris
said that the manner of this sudden
decision to compete at Boston leaves no
doubt in my mind that he was infiu-
enced."
This committee has no quarrel with
the Boston promoters" Harris con-
tlnued. If Nurmi Is an amateur. IL
ne runs for the sport of the thing,
wnere and when he pleases, this conn
mlttee can surely have no complaint.
But II promoters are to bid for his
services, then I feel We have Just
grounds for bringing this matter 10
your attention. We will appreciate
your attention to the situation brought
about by what we believe was a virtual
order to Nurmi to compete in Boston
rather than in New York"
Despite Nurmi'S easy triumph In his
DEBUT In the Brooklyn college games
Saturday night. there are prospects that
Lermond may give the Finn a stern
oattle OF 1t over the 2-mile route. At
his best Nurmi has covered the miles
In S:58Hs. He accomplished that feat
the first and last time miles has been
put under nine NOTWITHSTANDING his
first invasion In 1925. Lermond. who
began his running career only two
years ago. has never done better than
9:l6. He has been improving fast. how
ever, and there are indications as well
That Nurmi Is not as fast by some sec
onos as ne was four years ago.

w WATCHING that West Point
n Princeton basket ball game
NV at West Point recently
the writer was struck by the
impression that the more
studiouS Eastern basket ball coaches are
getting away from the horse-racing
type of game-as they did long ago in
the West.
But this section of the country has
yet long way to go. The encouraging
factor is that evidently start is being
made.
The Army and Tigers showed less
pointleSS action than the writer ex-
pected to see, and undoubtedly this in
dicates general trend hereabouts.
George S. AldertOn, the sports critic
and basket ball expert of Lansing,
Mich, says you can always spot a bas-
ket ball coach in the midlandS by the
number of books he has under his arm
So exact and scientific has the game be-
come out there that only a deep student
can fathom its possibilities.
He Says-and he is quite right-that
one sees little if any haphazard chasing
about the floor in games between the
higher grade teams. Plays are worked
out even more carefully than in foot
ball, and the enthusiast with a well
trained eye-bear in mind the spectator
must study the game. too, to get the
most out of it-derives the highest
satisfaction out of observing the work.

30 SPURNS A CHANGE
TILL HE MAKES GOOD
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, January 21-
Bo McMillanS home town University,
Texas Christian u, will be without his
services as head foot ball coach this
year only because the All-American
Centre College star refused to quit job
until he had made good on it.
Acceptance of the pest also would
have brought McMillin back to his
young son, who is being reared by sis
ter her, but he refused the proffered
post because he did not feel that he has
made good at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College.
THE only reason 30 did not accept
our proposition" Dan Rogers, chairman
of the T. c. U. athletic committee, said
today was because he did not want to
quit his job at K. S. A. G. without max
ing good there. He isn't gutter and I
believe he would pass up the best Job
on earth rather than run the chance
Of some one saying he threw up the
sponge"
McMillin came to the Kansas Aggies
last Fall to fill the place left vacant by
Charles w. Bachman, who had phenom-
email success with the Florida Univer-
sity team in his first year there. Lack
of material and inexperienced players
handicapped McMillin his initial year

Basket Ball Problems
BY OSWALD TOWER,
Member Joint Rules Committee.

Question: II a closely guarded play
er is dribbling the ball, can he be con-
sidered as Withholding the ball from
play?
Answer: No. When a player is drib-
bling, the opponents are considered to
have a chance to get the ball, and
held ball cannot be called on the
grounds that the ball is being with
held from play But If the player with
the ball merely pivots from one posi-
ion to another while holding the ball
In his hands, held ball should be called
when it becomes evident that he is
not trying to get rid of the ball.
