Car Is Bic Puzzle

a model that will be produced
very shortly by a manufacturer.
Because of its general appearance
and the knowledge that present
demand is for the multi-cylinder
car, the fact that this car is an
experimental model of a ney
eight, also seems logical.
Tl1e only encounter the writer
has had with the car is a con-
versation with a newspaper
camera man who had been as
signed to grab a flashlight when
ever and wherever possible, SO that
the automobile editor could at
least answer some of the questions
that are being asked him about
the car.
When seen by this writer, the
camera man had been stalking
the car for two nights with indif-
ferent success, although he swears
he saw the car go by once. and

Detroiters talking, in this day, but
there is car running around
Detroit and vicinity that has all

One of the factors contributing

that 1t has never yet been seen

hours of the late night and early
morning 1t has been sighted

George Washington will have a
battle when the two renew their
rivalry Friday night at the Clark

The Cardinals have recorded
but one victory and that was a

have notched three victories as
against four defeats. Besides. the
Colonials are reckoned to have
the stronger squad.

BARNETT
STICKS To
N|BLICK

While others shout praises Of
the sand wedge, Bob Barnett,
golf pro at the Chevy Chase Club.
does not use this latest stroke
saver but sticks to the niblick in
getting out of sand traps.
In the Mid-South open at Pine
hurst, N. c., last week practically
every pro carried this latest golf
implement in his bag. Barnett
is a student of golf who notes
the style of every prominent anna
teur and ~pro and keeps abreast
of the latest fads. Here's what
he says about the sand wedge:
81 don't believe that the sand
wedge is here to stay but Is the
fOrerunner of q club that win
do away with the. niblick now
in use.
"The fault with many golfers
today is that they are undecided
when from 30 to so yards off
the green whether to play q
pitch, pitch and run-up, or
run-up shot. AS a consequence
they lack confidence in the
shot and hit the ball either
haIf-heartedly or too strong.
"The result leaves the player
far from his objective, which
is to get close enough to the
cup to get down in one or two
puts.
"Of course, the sand wedge
helps quite q number of golfers
TO get out of traps easily and
many Of our leading pros and
amateurs use It,"
Barnett doesn't see where the
sand wedge will benefit his game,
declaring he can do more with
his niblick in lifting the bail from
those sand traps. It's needless to
add that the Chevy Chase pro
plays a sound game and knows
how to use every club with jude-
ment and skill.

That'll be the war-cry Mary

In the game Saturday afternoon

believe tt Navy offense can be

And the Maryland survey of
the case is not without justifi-
cation. Navy has several other

sistent as Kirn.
They call him Bullet" this

He stamped himself as A-No.

and Bill Ingram, Navy head
coach, has never since allowed
Kirn to hide away in blanket
while q game was in progress.
This year, Kirn has been the
backbone of the Navy power
drives, especially those SmasheS
inside and outside the tackles.
He probably isn't the open-field
runner like Cannon but this dur
able midget, who weighs but $50
pounds, hits. the line with the
force Of a cannon shot.

Of his class by heading It

lone touchdown. With the ball
on Nays 23-yard stripe, he was
handed the leather seven straight
times and suddenly the Midship-
men were on the Mustangs 35-
yard stripe. He took it two or
three more times. then Cannon
passed to Torgerson for the
score. In all, Kirn lugged the
ball on "a occasions during the
game for a total gain of 11S
yards.
