A LMOST every good goll course
~ pays a premium for straight
~ ness from the tees, but few lay
outs impose the severe penalties
found in the rough Of the Riviera Coun-
try Club, where the $4,000 Los Angeles
open now Is being played.
Riviera is a canyon course and along
the sides of the fairways and back OF
the greens may be found oak and syca-
more trees, heavy shrubbery and O
thick. wiry grass that often completely
hides an Grant ball. A deep barranca
adds to the confusion on seven hoies
and numerous man-made traps, filled
with heavy, white sand, are scientin-
cally placed to devour wild shots.
When the Los Angeles open was
played at Riviera before, George Won
Elm actually had to grub out a bush
to play his ball and Walter Hagen had
to execute a new sort of trick shot TO
get clear from the fork OF tree.
Riviera is Just great course so long
as a player does not stray from the
fairways. This year 1t has been made
more difficult by the addition OF sew
eral hundred yards that now make the
course $500 yards.
Fairways Beautiful.
Riviera partially compensates golfers
for its wild rough by offering as flne
fairways as can be found IN the world.
When Bobby Jones played there last
Summer, he declared the fairways the
best he ever had seen. And the green's
also are beautiful and respond ac-
curately to the we'll stroked putt.
With such a large dividend depending
on players straightness, Horton Smith,
the wizard from Joplin, Mo-, was the
tournament favorite, while Mac
Donald Smith and Leo Diegel were
bracketed second. The young member
of the large Smith family seldom ex-
plores the rough Of any course, for his
short but rhythmic stroke usually sends
his ball humming down the middle Of
the green lanes.

to overcome an Eastern quint
that fought with all it had until
the final whistle. Eastern'S title
chances now are slim in view Of
it's two defeats in as many starts.
With Downey Rice, lanky center, and
Wilbur Cross, stalwart forward head
ing its drive, Central gained an early
though slender lead over Business. The

ahead just before the half ended when

was stopped cold, failing to score
single goal from scrimmage. Three
floor losses constituted his offensive
contribution.
Second Half Brisk.
Furious battling marked the second
half, with the score 17-all at the end
of the third quarter. Playing time
was fast waning when Parkins came
through with his one-hand shot and
Cross with the foul that carried the
Blue and White to its win.
Business was handicapped in the final
minutes by the loss by fouls of Chase
and was hurt all through the game by
Capt. Newman's inability to get his
scoring eye. At that, Newman's scoring
eye might not have been so far off, but
ParkinS saw to 1t that he was covered
in thorough manner.
In fact, none of the Business players
was so hot at scoring from the floor
The Stenogs were able to ring up only
five two-pointers, while Central was
caging 10. From the foul line, though,
the Orange and Blue showed decided
superiority, dropping in an even dozen
markers, while Central was cashing in
on only four. The Stenogs. however,
had about twice as many chances for
one-pointers.
Bob Freeman, center; Capt. Jimmy
Thompson, forward, and Paul Chatlin,
guard, were in the forefront of the
Western attack. Freeman scored IL
points and Thompson and Chatlin 9
each. Bill Noonan. center; Joe. Robey,
guard. and Capt. Jimmy Ryan, forward,
did the bulk Of the Eastern basket
sniping, the first two each reaching the
cords for 10 points and Ryan for 7.
Robey's Punishment on fouls in the
third quarter hurt the Lincoln Parkers.
Western Starts Slowly.
Eastern started in dashing style,
able to get the range of the basket.
Then the Red and White got busy with
a will and before the first quarter was
over had gained the lead only to lose 1t
shortly afterward. Eastern was ahead,

ended. Western contrived to gain the
edge at 2l-17 at half time. Thereafter

The hearing had been asked by Iowa

ROLAND MACKENZIE
LIVING HERE AGAIN

Roland r. Mackenzie, information
ally famed amateur golfer, who devel-
oped in Washington the game that has
brought him fame here and abroad,
has come back to Washington to make
his home with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert r. Mackenzie.
Roland has left the financial house
with which he has been associated in
New York for nearly a year and is
catching up on his golf. Yesterday he
played a few holes over the Columbia
course. and will continue playing If the
weather remains good for the duration
of his stay in the Capital.
Two days ago Roland was in Provi-
dence, where he was best man for his
close friend and college roommate
Everett Eynon-at the wedding of the
son Of the secretary Of the Washington
base ball club. The young bridegroom
also Is hne golfer and . member of
Columbia, although he has not played
in many tournaments.
From the tone Of events in New
York it now appears certain that
George j. Voigt. even though he may
not be one of the best contract bridge
players, will be chosen by the United
Staets Golf Association as a member
Of the Walker Cup team which will
meet a British team at Sandwich, Eng
land. next Spring for the international
amateur trophy. Robert Tyre Jones,
jr., the world outstanding golfer. was
named captain of the team yesterday
by the United States Golf Association,
and developments with regard to
Walker Cup team selections indicate
the following lineup for the simon pure
team: Jones. Harrison r. Johnston
George Won Elm. DR.. o. F. Willing. Jess
Sweetser, Francis Ouimet. George Voigt
and Roland Mackenzie. 1t may be that
the team selectors will choose Eugene
Romans, who tied with Jones for the
national championship qualifying medal
last year. and that Maurice j. McCar-
thy may be named as q member. But
Maurice is said to think that an edu-
cation is more important than a place
on the Walker Cup team.
One of the important rulings Of the
executive committee at Its meeting In
New York yesterday was that raising
the age limit of eaddies from l6 to 10
years. which means that q lad does not
automatically become professional II
he carries q golf bag for hire until he
reaches the age Of IL years.

fiicted California be broken during the
championship, many Of the gallery ex-
oerts believe that Craig Wood and
Harry Cooper will be among the leaders.
Wood is one of the longest hitters in
golf, and distance always is desirable on
. heavy course. Cooper is gradually
getting back to the form he displayed
in 1927, when he tied Armour in the
national open. and promises to be a
contender for all the 1880 tournaments.
The Los Angeles open rapidly Is pro-
crossing beyond the ordinary run Of
Winter tournaments. Its qualifying
rounds drew a field of more than 800.
and were played over IL courses. The
wide distribution Of the qualifying
rounds is an excellent idea and gives
every golfer an opportunity to play his
rounds more leisurely and insures
plenty of daylight.
