WILSON IN FRONT
IN BIG TEN GOLF
Ohio State Player With 151
Starts Final SO Holes With
Stroke Ahead.

~ vANSTON, Ill, May 21.-A
- closely punched field, paced by
Ted Wilson, an Ohio State
senior, who has been rappins
at the door of golf fame for several
years, whipped out woods nd irons TO-
day for the final big push for the
Big Ten golf championship over the
Westmoreland Country Club course.
With the days stretch extending over
a6 holes on q course laden everywhere
with yawning traps, trees and treach-
erous greens, the championship ngnt
looked to be anybodys battle among
at least 13 shotmakers from seven uni
versities whose scores for the nrSt
36-hole grind were spread between WI.
sons ISL and q pair OF !oSs caIoea
by Alpert of Illinois and Talbot OF
Indiana. =.
Many things can happen over SO
holes to the best of professional golfers,
whereas the field seeking the Big Ten
crown consisted for the most part OF
mashie wielders from 18 years upward
to IS.
The team championship, however,
appeared safely headed toward the Unl-
yersity of Illinois. The Illini team, con:
sisting OF Martin, Lyons, Alpert ano
Grove, tailed q 623 total for SO noles
yesterday and gained q 12-stroke lead
over their nearest rival, Michigan.
Grove led his mates with cards OF
76-78-l54, which also placed MIN
In a fiye-way deadlock for third place
In the individual championship chase.
One stroke behind Wilson as today's
drive opened was Jarvis Hicks. Mich
ican sophomore and brother Of Helen
Hicks of international golfing fame.
Hicks, a stocky youth, bearing much
resemblance to his famous sister, led
the field at the end of the first 18-hole
round yesterday with q rs, but his
putter refused to function In the aft
ernoon and he took II and finished
with 152 total.
wilson, who placed fourth in the
1929 national intercollegiate golf cham
pionship, also was troubled by poor
putting on the soaked Westmoreland
greens which boosted his score. Like
Hicks, however, he often landed on the
carpet In two well placed shots only to
take fives by miscalculating the un-
dulating greens.
No one scored 15s for the first SO
hole fight, but five came in the 154's
to tie for third. In addition to Grove,
u1Cy WCAS A4Ch3Soty, @sAANA&SoA,
Walker, Minnesota, 76-7s; Keller.
Ohio State, TIT, and Catterton, In
diana, 80-74.
Catterton's "a was the best round
of the day on the par II course, and
it lifted him back into the running
after his almost disastrous 80 in the
morning.
Others, who still were regarded as
potential contenders for the title,
vacated through the graduation of
Lester Bolstad Of Minnesota, were
Martin, Illinois, 1855; Lyon, Illinois, 1856:
Fowler, Minnesota, 1877; Stewart, Wis
consin, 157; Alpert, Illinois, 1853, and
Talbot, Indiana. 1853. The others
ranged from 100 and upward, and
needed two games of Bobby Jones golf
to win.
In team standing, next to Illinois
and Michigan, the quartets ranked as
follows: Minnesota, 638; Wisconsin,
645: Indiana, SAT; Northwestern, $50;
Ohio State. 654; Purdue, 654; Chicago,
669, and Iowa, 713.

mechanical aid of starting device.
The wolverine Express" sped over the
100-yard course in 5-10 seconds O.

than the accepted marks Of the present
day. Simpsons 92-5 was made with
starting blocks and consequently should
not be given consideration.
Tolan's marks has been accepted OF.
f1cially, but there is no certainty that
the flying Negro's stancard will remain
for long. Frank Wykoff, running in
California a few days ago, glided over
the cinders in 9 2-5 seconds. No me-
chanical device aided him in his ef-
forts.
The historic cinder path of SOLDIER
Field should be properly scorcned by
the speeding feet of these two and
faster 100-yard dash turned than at

Jones Score Is Hurt
By a Delay on Course
BY GEORGE TREVOR.

NEW YORK, May 81 (CPA).-
Back at familiar Sunningdale, a
course he would like to wrap up
and take home" Bobby Jones came
from behind to win the golf illus
trated gold vase. with the record
breaking aggregate of LAB. Bob would
have Topped at least three strokes off
that total but for a slovenly 40 on
the incoming nine of the first round.
The rapid-gaited Albanian Is a
poor waiter. Like George Duncan,
Jones burns up inwardly when forced
to wait between shots. Traffic con-
gestion on the homeward nine dur
ing the opening round at Summing
dale so irked Jones that he seemed
to lose interest and lapsed into care
less ways.
Concentration is the essence Of
championship golf. When your
mind wanders afield the ball IS apt
to follow suit. Always impetuous,
champing on the bit. Bobby cannot
adjust himself to delays. He fumed
and fretted on the last three tees at
Sunningdale, while inept marshals
struggled impotently to clear the
fairways. A Grover Whalen would
have helped.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

Y you may play 'em right, but they
" don't always 90 right. Some
times it is your fault If they
don't 60 right, and sometimes
not. as Sam Converse learned at Ban
nockburn, when he played what ap-
peared a perfect shot to put golf
game on ice at the seventeenth. But
Just at, the spot where his ball disap-
peared the greens committee had left
a drain pipe and Sans ball, instead Of
rolling down the slope onto the putting
green. dropped into the drain pipe and
ran out under the green into the guard
ing ditch. Instead Of winning the hole
with q par 8, Sans side lost the hole
to q buzzard 4, and lost q side bet.
Converse was playing with Jesse x.
McKeever, Cass Leigh and Martin NC.
Inerney, and they had made q small
extra bet on the seventeenth. Now that
seventeenth is q tricky hole. The long
hitters play straight for the ping stalking
the chance of hook which will place
their ball In the ditch at the left, while
the shorter hitters play up the hill and
hope the ball will roll down onto the
green.
Converse played the latter type of
shot. He struck his ball onto the spot
where all well regulated golf balls
should roll down onto the green, but
when he came to the spot where ne
saw the ball stop 1t was not there. A
search revealed the fact that a drain
pipe comes to the surface OF the fair
way Just at that point. and further
search located his ball In the ditch at
the left Of the green, as yards from
where he saw 1t stop. He figured that
it ran through the drain pipe under
the green into the ditch. Anyhow 1t
cost him the hole and the side bet and
now he Is looking for DR.. Thomas j.
w. Brown, chairman OF the greens
committee, with q well oiled vocabulary.
Usually the upper end of that pipe Is
covered with q wire mesh screen, but
for some reason 1t was not there when
Converse's ball rolled in.

SIMPSON CUTS OUT
STARTING DEVICES
Determined to Set a World
Mark in Big Ten Meet
Without Them.


CHICAGO, May 21.-George Simp-
son, the Ohio flyer, threw away his
wooden starting blocks today determined
to set q new world record for the 100
yard dash in the Western Conference
track and field championships at North
western University Friday and Saturday.
Simpsons action followed news that
the International Amateur Federation,
in its meeting at Berlin, had refused to
approve his record of :094, made with
the use Of blocks In the national col
legiate meet last year. and at the same
time had recognized the :09.S OF Eddie
Tolan, Michigan's bespectacled Negro
flash, accomplished in the Western Con-
ference meet a year ago.
Since Tolan became eligible Tor inter-
collegiate competition last year great
rivalry between the Wolverine and
Simpson has existed. The edge in vic
tories is with Simpson by wide margin,
but in Tolan's only victory over the Ohio
State sprinter he obtained the coveted
world mark. BY the ruling yesterday
Tolan has become the only sprinter in
many years to hold the century record
all by himself
Both started slowly this season and
each was defeated in indoor meets. Pre-
vious records mean nothing when the
stocky short-legged Tolan, and the wiry
rangy Simpson get together. Coach
Steve Farrell of Michigan has faculty
Of having his sprinters fright" when he
wants them that way, and Tolan will be
primed Friday and Saturday.
Their methods are similar, both are
good of the mark, but there are faster
starters than either. Both pick up speed
quickly and each has q terrific finishing
"kick."
The coming meeting of the great pair
was not enough before the ruling of the
International Federation. Now each
has added incentive-Tolan to retain
his laureis, and Simpson to win them

Tilden, on the other hand, must dis
pose of the Bounding Basque" Jean

round. In the event of meeting be-
tween Tilden and Borotra, the Amer
ican will be favored, or Borotra's VIC
tories over Tilden in the past have been
scored on the boards, indoors. The tail
Philadelphia has held the upper hand
outdoors consistently.
Although predictions have been made
that the women's finals will find Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody and. Senorita Ella
de Alvarez of Spain on opposite sides
of the net, there Is chance that Helen
Jacobs of Berkeley, Calf. may prove
too formidable hurdle for the Spanish
girl to clear.
Miss Jacobs was the only American
to get into action yesterday. In the
women's doubles she and her Belgian
partner, Irene Sicart, defeated Veronique

~ ERLIN, May 21.-Strong pressure
X in favor of the continuance OF
women's Olympic track and fiedl
events in 1882 games at Los An
geles was brought to bear today by the
International Amateur Athletic Fedora
ton in session here.
Unless the women are allowed to COM
pete, the worlds male athletes as rep
resented in the I. A. A. F. will adopt a
policy of non-co-operation in regard to
the Olympics, it was indicated.
A resolution proposed by Gustavus T.
Kirby of New York was adopted by the
federation at its closing session today
which provides that the I. A. A. F. shall
remain in Berlin in recess ready to be
called together should the Olympic
Congress, convening next week, decide
to eliminate the women's track and
field events.
Strongly Against Compensation.
The International Amateur Athletic
Federation has taken q firm stand
against compensating athletes for lost
wages during Olympic games.
A Swiss-Dutch proposal that "broken
time" be granted working athletes failed
overwhelmingly of adoption, 18 to 4,
at the meeting yesterday.
Supporting the proposal, along with
Switzerland and Holland, were only
Finland and Sweden. S r.
To counteract the plea for broken
time, Great Britain's delegates were
empowered to propose that the rules
be made even more strict along that
line than they are now. Britain was
prepared to suggest that "no competi-
tor who received any payment or COM
pensation for lost salary, directly, or
indirectly or in any glise whatsoever,
shall be permitted to participate in fu-
ture Olympics." A.
When the swiss-Dutch proposal was
defeated, however, the British delegates
agreed to withdraw their proposal and
let well enough alone.
VIII Study Starting Blocks.
BY a majority just about as over
whelming Americas plea for recogni-
ton Of the use Of starting blocks in
sprint races was turned down, but
Joseph B. McCabe of Boston, member
of the American delegation, succeeded
In having the matter referred for fur
