ID ILL ALEXANDER OF Georgia Teen

laid down the law to Georgia Tech
students in general and to his athletics

ander's talk was that student politics

shat one Of the ways by which such
poliics would be eliminated is in not
electing a foot ball captain for next
Fall. 1t seems that so much disSension
has arisen in the last few years over
the election of captain that the dis
sension has been carried by the squad
through the following seasons, with the
results that Tech has not done as well

tics entering into athletics is not a new
one and many schools have In recent
years done away with the election of
captains. There Is no doubt that such
action has gone long way toward help

Next time you have the opportu- nity of watching any leading pro or amateur player, take especial notice of the size of the clubheads of his woods. You will notice that n majority of them use deep-faced woods.
 There are quite a few reasons why they do, and not the lest im- portant is the confidence 1t gives them. And if 1t gives confidence to a star player to employ q bigger club, think of the advantage 1t would be fore a beginner.
 One Is able to tee the ball a bit higher, using deep-faced club, and this alone lends confidence. The chances of going under the ball or topping 1t are reduced to a minimum. The large face enables the player to hit the ball with greater ease, although 1t will not necessarily travel farther. The dis tance obtained Is relative to the rhythm and power of the swing.

 Naugatuck, Conn, July 14-The molten iron that Billy Burkowski, the coremaker, saw poured into molds at Naugatuck's iron foun- dry, must have gotten into the blood of Billy Burke. the golfer.
 For 1t was a man of iron who snatched slender victory out of IA holes of the most grueling golf in the history of the national open tournament at Inverness the other day. And 1t was a man of iron who lifted himself, in a few short years, from the obscurity of poor immigrant family in Naugatuck to the throne of American golfdom.
 Billy Burkowski, at IS, returned in defeat from the Connecticut amateur tournament to resume his old job at the foundry, but his de- feat in battling his way to the finals, vaaquishing many expe- rienced players, had attracted at- tention. He was made as a golfer.
 The one who did most to start him on the high road that led to golfng fame was Henry J. Top ping, wealthy Greenwich sports- man-the veteran who had con- quered Billy one up in the final.
 Topping used his influence to get Billy--Burke now, not Bur k0wski---a job at the Clearwater Fla, Country club. That was about five years ago. Burke arrived in Clearwater with no possessions ex- cept worn blue suit and four or five golf sticks, and went to work as a caddy master.
 Here he found time for valuable practice. He improved his putting and heightened his drives until 276 yards became ordinary. Self trained, he always described his technique as Just stepping up and hitting the ball"
 The Brooklyn Robins were in training at Clearwater. and Billy was assigned to explain to Dazzy Vance, Burleigh Grimes and other fiatbush Ivminaries the nice differ ences between a bunt toward third base and a niblick shot out of a sand trap. Also. Topping engaged Billy to teach his sons. Dan and Henry, Jr.
 While in Clearwater, Burke won another tournament and seemed headed for the top flights of golf. The next summer he was given his first job as a pro--at the Matta- tuck Country club in Waterbury. five miles from his home town Of Naugatuck. Afterward he served as pro in Danville, Ky, and Vest port, N. r., and then Topping still his biggest booster--was in- strumental in bringing him as pro to the Blind Creek club at Port Chester, N. Y.
 A full-fiedged pro now. Billy be- came known in professional tour naments. Within two years after leaving the amateur ranks he att tracted the attention of golf ex- perts by winning the North and South open at Pinehurst, N. C.. He triumphed at the New York state open in 1929, but the victory may have cost him high honors in the national open at the Winged Foot club a week later. For, although listed as a. favorite, he couldn't get going in the early rounds and just

 This club, one of the smartest In tho east, became the setting for the romance of Burke's life. At a club dance one evening Burke was introduced to g. slender, sparkling eyed girl who was sought by the other rich young men of Green wich She was Marguerite Thomp- son, daughter of Oscar Thompson, a prosperous Greenwich business man.
 They were married In June last year. Mrs Burke was with Billy throughout the recent strenuous days at Inverness when his dra- matic victory over George von Elm stirred the golf world.
