named as the alternates. Mccarthy,
however, is not a Washington prod
uct. His game was developed in and
around New York.
Honors such as these do not come
without merit. To make the Walker
Cup team a man must be more than
a winner of sectional tournaments. He
must be a figure of commanding i'm
portance in golf in a national way. For
this reason the naming of Voigt and
Mackenzie as members of the 1880
edition of the Walker Cup team is a
tribute to the quality of golf played
in the Capital. and sets it up along
with the quality of the game played
in any other section of the country.
Although George Voigt today is not
O Washingtonian, his game reached its
crest here from 1924 to 1927, and in
those years he set what still is record
for consecutive tournament and con-
secutive match play victories. He Is
the same golfer today he was in the
days when he was riding roughshod over
his opposition in the mid-Atlantic terri
tory, and, we daresay, he Is no better
a performer than he was in his last
year as a purely Washington player. So
Voigt is a Washington product, even
though his game has been toughened
in the fierce fire of more intense COM
petition since he went to New York in
the Spring of 1928.
Roland Mackenzie Is purely Wash
ington product. in so far as his golf
Is concerned. He, too, has been through
toughening process in national and
international events, but his game Is the
same tried and true product it was be-
fore he sought fame In fields far from
Washington.
Roland learned the game under that
master teacher-Fred McLeod-when
he was a youngster attending Western
High School. In those days-back In
1923 and 1924-he rounded out the
game that later brought him the ma
tional championship qualifying medal
and earned him a spot on two Walker
Cup teams. Columbia is his club and
there Is where his game was developed
$. The path of Voigt to the lofty pin
nacle of the Walker Cup team is quite
different Starting as a caddie on the
old course of the Columbia Country
Club, near Brightwood, two decades
ago, Voigt developed a fair game of
golf as caddie, but when Columbia
moved its course in 1912 to the present
location in Chevy Chase, Voigt for
got golf. He did not take 1t up again
until 1921, when the public course in
East Potomac Park was opened. He
then was a typewriter repairman in the
Treasury Department at a meager
salary. Before work and after work he
practiced and played golf, and first
showed signs Of becoming an impor-
tant factor in golf about Washington
in 1928 He won the Columbia tourna-
ment the following year, after having
annexed the District public links title,
and in 1925 started q sensational march

T|E-UP WITH PENN
PRIME NAVY MOVE
Annual Gridiron Tilt at
Franklin Field Apt to
Prove Popular.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

A NNAPOLIS, January 13.-The
~ understanding reached between
n the athletic officials of the
Naval Academy and the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania for an indeti-
mite number of foot ball games to be
played annually on the first Saturday
Of December is regarded as one OF the
most important moves made in recent
years by the Academy.
While it Is understood that the game
will not be played at that period of the
schedule should the service schools
patch up their differences, the agree
ment means that the Naval Academy
sees no reasonable chance of such an
agreement within short time, and is
arranging a game to take its place.
After the athletic break between the
service schools, the Naval Academy met
Princeton and Dartmouth, respectively,
IN its final game. AS long as there was
some chance of prompt reconciliation
with the Military Academy the Naval
Academy officials did not intend TO en-
ter into a permanent arrangement with
any college.
Since the recent conference between
the heads of the academies, when the
representative of the Military Academy
declined all of the Nays suggested
compromises and declined to offer any
on his part, it is recognized in naval
circles that the chances for an under
standing are very remote.
The first game with Pennsylvania
will be played on Franklin Field, Phila-
delphia, on December next. At pres
ent 1t is the intention to play the games
regularly on that field, though there
is no doubt that Baltimore would like
the game played in its stadium in al
ternate years.
Penn Versatile Foe.
In selecting Pennsylvania as an op-
ponent Naval Academy officials had in
vantages of the playing site and the
probable popularity Of the game as an
annual event.
AS to athletic relations between the
two the Naval Academy meets Pennsyl-
vania in more sports THAN in the case
Of any other college. For the past 20
years the Naval Academy and Penn
Sylvania have been meeting in most
years in rowing, base ball, soccer, Ia
crosse, basket bah, boxing, wrestling,
swimming, water polo, gymnastics and
fencing.
The first foot ball game between the
two was played about 40 years ago,
and though they have not met regular
ly there have been a number of games
since, including contests in each of the
last three seasons.
Franklin Field is considered an ideal
playing ground and has always been
popular with the Navy Further, it is a
comparatively short distance from An
napolis, and there is no trouble in
transporting the regiment of midship-
men to the game. The Nays game on
this field has always proved popular and
attracted large crowd.
In addition to the University of Penn
Sylvania, the Naval Academy has met
the Military Academy, Pennsylvania
State. Princeton and Dartmouth on
Franklin Field.
1t was also announced by Comdr.
Jonas H. Ingram, director of athletics
at the Naval Academy, that the game
with Princeton, to be played about mid
season, will also be on a like basis as
the game with Pennsylvania as a regu-
lar annual game for an indefinite period.

local tournament, with the exception
Of the 1925 Baltimore Country Club
tournament, where Voigt beat him.
Had Roland played in the local events,
the rivalry would have been intense be-
tween the pair.
Voigt became a member of the Ban
nockburn Golf Club in 1926 and short
time later entered the employ of E. B.
Mclean, Washington newspaper pub
Usher. In 1927 the District Golf Asso-
citation declared Voigt not eligible to
compete in its amateur championship
because the association claimed he had
acted in a manner detrimental to the
best interests Of the game of golf. A
subsequent investigation developed in
dependently by the United States Golf
Association cleared Voigt of similar
suspicion by the national body and the
District association recanted and with
drew its charges. He then won the
District title for the second time that
year. In the Winter Of 1929 he went
South with his employer, but in the
Spring Of 1928 he became associated
with a New York business house and
has remained in New York since. Voigt
still Is nonresident member Of the
Bannockburn Golf Club.

let us see just what this turning in
Of the toe of the clubhead does.
First it lessons the loft on the
club, just as turning it out increases
the loft. That means you give the
ball less trajectory than If struck
normally with the same club.
It also means that you impart both
overspin and pull to the rolling ball,
because your clubface somewhat
smothers it at contact. So allow for
this slight pull If you follow this ad-
vice. an allowance that only practice
will determine the exactness Of.
