YGC IL renamed 1OT G6OTSG VOu
Elm, holder of the French anna
teur title, and a former national
amateur champion, to cut the
knot that divides amateur and
professional golf, and make a
new classification for that group
of amateurs who want to main
tain their self-respect.
George has announced himself
as business man golfer" and
states that hereafter he expects
to make his golf pay for itself,
at the same time that he con-
tinues to conduct his own inSur-
ance business.
Under his present status
as an amateur, Won Elm fig
ures il costs him at least
$4,000 a year for the priVi-
Iege of playing in such a
farce as that staged at Merton
last week. And from Georges
point of view, it isn't worth
that much dough to have
"Mr." put in front of his
name in the open champion
ships.
If he should be so fortunate
as to finish in the prize money IN
any of the big open tournaments
George intends to let his con
science be his guide as to his
decision. If he finds that the
shekels will help to pay his ex-
penses in golf, he arrogates unto
himself the right to collect the
money without any secrecy.
Golf is still a game for the
man whose pockets are lined with
gold. Railroad and taxi fares,
club dues and membership, caddie
fees and luncheon checks, all add
UP to total that the man in
moderate circumstances can't
stand.
Throughout this country there
are thousands Of young golfers
struggling to make a living, cap
italizing their golf by selling
stocks and bonds, insurance, or
any other way open to them.
George Won Elm has set an ex.
ample which many of our best
amateurs might follow to their
financial and moral advantage.
At Merton last week the U. S..
G. A. collected nearly 100000 in
gate receipts. At Minneapolis the
total was $4,000. There was al
ready more than 100000 in the
treasury.
When so per cent Of the
receipts were paid to Inter
Iachen and Merton, respec-
lively, the association had
reaped at least $500 to add
to its exchequer. Whats going
to happen to that money?
AS Won Elm pointed out, the
amateur champio-' ship of the
Uniter States is a highly COM
mercialized project, and he sees
no reason for playing his heart
out for the honor and glory of
the U. s. q. A. that they may
increase their bank account.
Not one penny Of the receipts
is contributed toward the expense
of the 80 qualifiers.

starting lineup against Rut-
gers, though Summers or
johnson may be at center
and O'Brien at one Of the
tackles. Billy Wells may also
start at quarter because Of
his forward passing ability.
Assistant Coach Len Walsh
worked the squad at length yes
terday. The ends were given
assignments in going down under
punts while the defensive backs
were shown how to block the
oncoming ends. Then the backs
were given lessons in speed and
change of pace by running the

lined up in three rows OF 10. OF

Head Coach Jimmy Pixlee, Of

decided that Obie O'Brien. the

as fullback. O'Brien, who most
likely will return to his line post

sidered a qualified player, wasn't
in the first or second-String
backfield as the team ran through

UP TO HOOVER
Democrats Can Force Chief
Executive Into Open on
Major Issues.
BY RAY TUCKER
Scripps-Howard STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The po-
litical upset which has apparently
placed congress under legislative con-
troll of President Hoover's enemies
is expected to exert tremendous
influence on Hoover's own future
and on the questions which will
figure in the 1882 presidential con-
test.
No matter how the actual lineup
eventuates in house and senate, and
whether those groups are controlled
numerically by the Democrats alone
or by coalition, the administra-
TONS foes plan to lay down on the
Presidents desk many pieces of
legislation which he or his friends
in the house hitherto have been able
to smother in committee or defeat
on the floor.
There is little doubt that they will
have enough strength to determine
what measures will and will not be
passed. They no longer can be

worth nell-Tilson machine.
The same issues which led to the
tremendous rebuke of the admin
istration on Tuesday will be raised
in the seventy-second congress,
which takes Office in December,
1881. They are the tariff, water
power, Wall Street and speculation
tendencies, labor and anti-injunc-
ton legislation, farm relief and the
debenture plan, unemployment
proposals, railroad consolidation,
stricter regulation of the so-called
radio trust" and prohibition.
Hoover already has taken a def
mite stand on most of these matters,
and his great house majority has
given him support. But the Dem
ocratS alone or in combination
with the coalitionists can force Hoo
yer to take more open and definite
position through approving or We
toing their work.
No matter what he does, he will
embrarrass one or the other of the
two great wings of his party-the

Bows supporting cast are Geneva

as an American film star in France,
who unwittingly becomes the bride
in a wedding ceremony in which the
bridegroom is masquerading under
an assumed name. Thus, because
she had not understood the
language, she becomes the wife, by
proxy. Of man she has never seen.
