JONES' RETURN AS AMATEUR
HELD HIGHLY IMPROBABLE

ment salesmen, who became star
player after making a success of his
position, was barred from compet-
ing in an amateur tourney at the
request OF a high official in a COM
pany which manufactured golf
balls. The salesman was a profess
sional but the executive" rated as
an amateur and was eligible to
the highest offices in the U. s. G..
A.
That Jones will resort to such
subterfuges to regain his amateur
ranking is unbelievable to those
who know Bobby or his record Of
straight-laced amateurism in the
past. Bobby never was one to evade
the rules, as was demonstrated when
he refused the gift of a 100000
home, even though the gift probably
would have been approved by the
u. S. Ct. A, because he did not con-
slider the acceptance of the gift lin
keeping with the spirit of amateur
ism"
In light of those facts it would
seem unlikely that Jones, having
made $250,000 from his excursion
into the ranks Of professionalism
would convince himself that a re-
turn to amateur ranks would be
fitting.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. U.P) -
Rumors that Bobby Jones will
seek reinstatement as an amateur
and seek TO regain his British and
United States golf championships
are making the rounds again. What
is more, many golfing men profess
to believe the reports, incredible as
they sound.
The story-and you may take it
for what it's worth-is that Bobby,
having made some quarter million
dollars through his movie contracts,
etc, Is now prepared to ask the U.
S. @. 4. to forgive his detour from
the straight and narrow confines
OF true amateurism and to seek re-
instatement.
The U. S. G.. A. has the power to
reinstate Jones, or any other golf
er, even though he had become
an out-and-out professional. How
ever, the U. S. G.. A. seldom uses
this power and always has strictly
enforced a rule requiring that the
petitioner serve an extended pen

TO compete as an amateur, but at
the same time must not play as
professional. Mrs. Mary K. Browne,
who was declared a professional in
women's golf because she played
professional tennis, won reinstate-
ment last year after five years abb
sence from the fold of simon -pureS.
Recent reports that Jones had
accepted a connection with a sport
ing goods company made it appear
that Bobby was widening his breech
from amateurism. The reports that
Bobby will seek reinstatement as
an amature, however, have it that
Bobby will serve in an executive and
advisory capacity and thus will be
eligible for amateurism. 1t seems.
that under the u. S. CT. A. rules, the
fellows who are forced to accept
positions as statesmen, managers or
clerks for sporting goods and golf
houses are professionals, but the
executives who earn the big SAL
aries may remain amateurs.
This inconsistency received minor
notice year ago when a golf equip

Central Union High School Spar

defeat the Calexico High School
Bulldogs by at least two touch
downs in their game on the local
field at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.

EAST'S SELECT
CIRCLE TO BE
CUT SATURDAY
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct %. U.P)-
Further reduction Of the casts Sc
lect little group of seven unbeaten
and united football elevens is in
prospect for Saturday.
Only two clubs, Columbia and
Cornell, meet fellow members of the
group, but two others, Syracuse and
Brown, are scheduled for competi-
ton with foes conceded an even
chance of victory. The other
three members Of the Big Seven"
meet opponents who are not be-
leved likely to prove dangerous.
n. Y. U. will entertain Oregon. Har-
ward will play host to Virginia and
Pennsylvania will clash with Lafa-
yette.
Columbias invasion of Cornell
provides the feature contest. Lou
Little's New York team earned
ranking with the eastern leaders
by walloping Dartmouth and for
the first time in a decade is a can
didate for sectional honors.
If Captain Ralph Hewitt and his
mates can duplicate last years 10
to 7 triumph over Cornell they ap-
pear likely to complete their sea-
son undefeated.
Although Columbia has a strong
line, Cornell is believed to have
more strength IN its forward wall
and this factor has made Gil Do
bie's team q favorite.
Syracuse, which invades Lansing,
Mich, for the title with Michigan
State, expects plenty of trouble.
The Michigan outfit was defeated
by Army but has won all its other
games impressively and promises to
be much more dangerous than Sy-
racuse's other intersectional foes.
Ohio, Wesleyan and Florida. which
were defeated, 48 to and 33 to II,
respectively.
Brown, boasting victories over
Princeton, Tufts and Lehigh in its
previous major tests, hopes for a
triumph over its traditional rival,
Holy Cross. N. Y. u. is a top-heavy
fayorite TO defeat Oregon.
Harvard, strong enough to beat
Army and swamp Texas, has few
worries regarding Saturdays test
with Virginia.
