GOLF TITLE TODAY
KepIer Is DunIap's Last Foe
in Defense of Grown.
AyCock Crushed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
~HICAGo. June 27.-For the sec
ond consecutive year the Mid
4 west today had a chance to win
its first national intercollegiate
golf championship, but its standard
bearer, Bob Kepler of Ohio State, had
the huge task Of dethroning the defend
ing champion, George T. Dunlap, jr., of
Princeton.
Last year Larry Moller Of Notre Dame
met Dunlap In the final round at Oak
mont. but was beaten, and 8, by the
youth who qualified in the national
amateur tournaments of 1928 and 1880
Today. on the tough No. course Of
Olympia Fields, 1t was Kepler's turn to
bring the title into the Middle West for
the first time. Its four previous jour-
news away from the East were in 1925
and 1925. when Fred Lamprecht Of Tu-
lane won: 1927. when Watts Gum took
1t to Georgia Tech, and in 1928, when
Maurice Mccarthy Of Georgetown was
the victor.
Dunlap Beats AycOck.
Dunlap yesterday crushed his final
obstacle before the final round. defeat

title holder, 9 and 8, while Kepler
gained the championship round by beat

The 118-pound Princeton ace was
counted as too consistent and expert

for another one-sided victory. He played

been beaten twice before by Aycock, was

more by lunch time and maintained
this advantage through the afternoon

Florio was favored to take his team

there. He was three holes on top at the

finishing test and managed to cut away
two holes from Kepler's lead. but went

lost on the thirteenth.

4 Robert Jones, for more than
a dozen years the great magnet
competitive golf, realized one
of lis iife's ambitions when he became
a member of the gallery at a major
golf tournament. He attended the
Ryder Cup matches yesterday as a
spectator.
For once Jones was free on q golf
course. and for once he tramped over
a course without a caddie at his side,
without a milling mob in front OF him
and behind him. For once he walked
leisurely, where he pleased, without
being pushed and showed and jostled.
For once he could be relaxed. For once
he felt that the show was being staged

Jones said. "In fact, ! do not recall

I would have traded places with the
players"
He was referring 10 those occasions
when he was recognized by other spec

several occasions. while he was watch

up to him and thrust programs, score

Says New Pill Fatal to Golf
Leland James Declares u. S. G.. A. Was Selfish
in Not Consulting Rank and File.

T HE golf bugs are all stirred
up about the new golf ball.
AS warm weather comes along
and puts continue to stop
at the cup, they recall how the old
ball of last year saved them strokes
around the putting greens and they
plead for return of the old ball.
Leland F. James, a Washington
golfer, who signs himself "a 100
per cent golf FAM" is the latest to
air his views on the ball, which
he does in the following manner:
Dear Mr.. McCallum:
Being an ardent golf fan my
self. wish to take this opportunity
to express my views. in which many
of my friends join me, regarding the
new size golf ball. I will feel con-
siderably relieved when get this
off my chest.
I'm the first place want to
heartily condemn the United States
Golf Association for the selfish stand
it has taken in this matter. 1t did
not make any effort to first ascer-
tain the wishes of the rank and file
of golfers regarding change in the
type of bali. Why? Because they
well knew that it would have been
Overwhelmingly voted down. What
especially irritateS me is the selfish
ness behind the whole thing. Just
because 10 per cent of the golfers
of the country were playing the
courses in subpar figures, 80 per cent
of us average golfers, who consti-
tute the backbone of the game and
without whose support golf as ma
tional institution would succumb,
have to suffer. Is not our system
of Government founded upon the
very definite principle that the will
of the majority shall govern? 1t is
apparent that the U. s. G. A. has
given no heed to this principle.
tell you, Mr.. McCallun, there is no
use trying to minimize the gravity
of the situation.

GEAUGA LAKE, Ohio, June 27.-The
polishing of Bill Striblings left hand
for IS rounds of jousting against Max
Schmeling's right in the Cleveland
municipal Stadium next Friday night
entered the final stages today.
Only twice more is the Southern
challenger for the heavyweight throne
certain to pull on training gloveS-to-
night and again tomorrow night-in
the open-air arena in the center of an
amusemet park 81 miles outside the
city. He may spar bit with his train
ing mates Tuesday night to keep rust
from collecting on his punch and judg-
n1ent of distance, but the heavy work
of preparation for the night before the
Fourth celebration will be over Sunday.
The closer the struggle gets, the more
complex are the problems of the critics
who are striving to judge between the
deftness and power of Striblings left
hand and the might of Schmeling's
right, probably the shortest and heftiest
punch in the entire heavyweight di-
vision. Regardless of the critics opin-
ions, however, the first wagers on the
outcome Of the title go have made
Stribling and his left hand a 7-to-5
favorite.
Left is Great Weapon.
In his workout Thursday night
Stribling's left was a perfect weapon
The tall, lean Georgian jabbed to the
head with it, hooked to the chin and
body with speed and precision that
demoralized his sparring partners Oc-
casionally he shot overland rights to
the head, but his training camp work
, so far has been concentrated on per-
fection of the left. 1t is also surmised
g, that he is practicing right uppercuts
occasionally, when no one is looking
just in case Schmeling revertS to his
old crouching weaving FORM instead of
the straight, stand-up boxing stance he
has been using in recent workouts.
Among the things noticeable by their
absolute absence in Stribling's workouts
are the clutching, clinching tactics that
have spoiled many of the Southerner's
most important engagements. Every
time he falls into a clinch with a SPAR
ing partner PA" Stribling. his father
manager, promptly shoes him out. He
has not been permitted to hit at all in
close, and the general impression Is
that he will attempt to rid himself in
this engagement of the persistent
clinching habit

What are the fundamental issues confronting the

Every. man to his hobby.
The one would claim that conservation Of the waters
Of the Rio Grande is the most important problem we have
to face.
Another would claim that the marketing situation as
1t affects the prices our fruits and vegetables bring is the
one vital factor to be placed above all else.
And still another would claim that the attracting Of
tourists to our Valley in ever-increasing numbers should
be placed first on the list Of things to be done.
Yet another would lay before us the claims of this
section to a national advertising campaign designed to
bring here additional farmers, more business and profess
sional men, more industries.
And yet another would say that the securing Of water
transportation is the most sorely needed of all.
a wide variance Of opinions, you say? Yet, all are
right.
It is hard for any one man to point to this or that
and say: There Is the thing, the promotion Of which will
mean more to this new country than any other thing"
And so we have certain groups working for this,
certain groups working for that, certain groups working
for the other. All are devoting time and energy to the
promotion Of their pet project, and very few have little
or any patience with the other groups in the promotion of
their pet projects.
Not only is there a woeful lack of teamwork between
the groups as they work, each for its own project, but
the groups themselves are in some instances broken up
into other groups, wanting the same result, but not want
ing to travel the same road to reach that result.
This Valley should grasp one fundamental. il NAV be
stated one way or another, but to our minds it was most
clearly stated by Patrick Henry when ne l. reported To
have said w must all hang together or we will all hang
To coincide all Valley activities that all NAV work
to the same goal. the betterment of the conditions under
which we are now living and under which we expect Ia
live in the future, is no small task.
Mayhap it is an impossible task.
a beginning may be made, however, if we will try to
DE as tolerant OF our nelghbor as he pursues his way
toward his objective, as we expect him to be of us as we
labor to our own objective.
All are working for the common good, let's realize
