 Federal officials expect a great movement of small merchants to their local banking houses. They believe the man who comes with good security will be welcomed now by bankers, pleased at the prospect of safely putting their cash to work.
 They foresee the small banker accepting the hitherto barred se- curities of his local customer and turning with them to the federal reserve system where he may in turn borrow, thus changing the money channel from a stagnant ditch to a flowing stream.

Beaver Dams Lengthy Course
Deserves Greater Fame. No. l3
Hole Is a 2.Shot Masterpiece

~ F all the fine holes that make
I up that great golf course of
Y the Beaver Dam Country Club
at Landover, Md, known to
hundreds of Washingtonians as the
longest layout around the National
Capital, the thirteenth is the best and
by far the hardest among the many
two-shotters that dot the course. This
is the opinion Of Cliff Spencer. pro-
fessional at Beaver Dam, who holds the
course record at 10. Beaver Dam is
the only golf course around Washington
where 70 never has been shattered.
this reason lies in the sheer length of
the layout. The tremendous golf
course, whose fame never has been
distance of about $500 yards. 'Tis no
course for a gent who lobs 'em from
the tee, nor for any but the stout of
heart. Some of the carries are big
enough to test the courage OF any
golfer and some of the shots take the
finest of skill and f1nesse.
Take the second shot at the fourth,
for example. This hole is par affair,
but the gents who say it with lengthy
tee shots usually figure to have a try
for the green on the second shot. II
they miss the green they may take a
6 or worse Conservative play will net
them 5, but two good shots will bag
a birdie 4. Take the play to the
seventh or to the eighth. Both these
holes are we'll above 400 yards and
both take two lengthy wallops, even
from the longest hitter. Take the
eleventh, where the fairway curves
sharply to the right to green tucked
away in the corner of the woods The
tee shot there must be straight. and
on the left corner of the fairway to
open up the green for the pitched
second shot.
DUT of them all-these tough two
ID shotters+Spencer holds that the
thirteenth is the best. And his
Judgment will be backed by most of
the better golfers of the club, for prob
ably there are fewer par As made on
this hole than any of the two-shotters
on the layout. This thirteenth used
to be a par Of something near 500
yards, but there were so many COM
plants about inability Of the short hit
ters to carry a ditch 100 yards from
the tee that "Micky" Maeir and his
Greens Committee associates built a
shorter tee, reducing the carry by about
60 yards and placing the hole In the
Jar class. Even at that, however.

N YEW YORK, December 26-Rid-
nj ing landslide of even greater
proportions than that Of last
November 8, Tony Canzoneri
swept into first place in the light
weight division of the New York Sum S
seventh annual national boxing con-
sensus with perfect score. Yes, every
one of the so SelectorS picked Tony as
head man.
CanZoneri came close to that record
last year, when he finished with a per-
centage of .997 He also topped the
lightWeights for 1880, with mark of
903. In 1929 he was second, with 1852.
CanZoneri has made the first 10 every
year since the inception of the con-
sensus in 1926, when he was placed
fourth among the bantamweightS. He
remained in that position for 1927.
In 1928 the Brooklyn boy was third
among the featherWeights and in the
following year he headed the 1866
Founders. There's record that will
take lot Of beating.
DILLY PETROLLE finished second,
~ as he did year ago. This is the
last time the Fargo. Express will
appear in the lightweight ratings. as
he formally announced he was no
longer able to do the class limit and
De himself after he lost the verdict to
CanZoneri in their duel for the title
last month.
Petrolle is the only one who has
broken into the first 10 of the light
weight division in the entire life of
the consensus, Billy was third in 1926,
dropped to ninth the next year, ad-
Vanced to fifth in 1928 fell to tenth
in 1929 and then moved up to third
in 1880, finishing second in 1881 and
1882.
Sammy Fuller. pudgy Bostonian,
showed up in third place. Barney Ross
young Chicagoan, did a remarkable
job in jumping from nowhere to fourth
position in the space Of a year Jack
Kid Berg completed the first division
Like CanZoneri and Petrolie. the White
chapel Whirlwind is consensus vet
eran. He was third among the light
weights in 1929, second in 1880 and
third last year.
Johnny JADICK of Philadelphia,
j heading the second division. was
followed by Bat Battalino. who had
to give up the featherweight crown
when he grew too heavy. Benny Bass,
Philadelphia veteran. landed eighth
honors. Tracy Cox of indianapolis and
Wesley Ramey of Grand Rapids COM
pleted the list. Tony Herrera, Lew
Massey. Steve Halaiko and Louis kid
Kaplan amassed respectable totals
though they did not break into the
circle of elite.
Foreign boxers did not fare so well
in this division, the only one to horn
in being Berg.

Y Y WESTERN CONFERENCE grid
\n/ coaches have asked the

them to start Fall practice
on September 10 in the future instead
of September Is. The request for five
more days Of training is intended to
equalize a situation that heretofore has
been unfair to several members of the
Big Ten.
Under the present rules, conference
elevens start work on September is

classes do not open until about October
l. so they are permitted two weeks of
concentrated work. Chicago several
times in recent years has played its
first game before students had arrived
on the campus.
While the additional five days of
work would not entirely equalize the
situation, it would be of considerable
help to the universities which start
their classes simultaneously with the
opening of foot ball practice. The pro-
posed change Is one Of several questions
TO be presented to the conference Fac
ulty Committee at its Spring meeting.
ONE coach, recently discussing the
~ matter Of foot ball practice, de-
clared himself in favor of abolish
ing all formal Spring drills and start
ing Autumn work on the Tuesday after
Labor day.
IF a boy devotes 10 weeks to foot
ball in the Fall and month or more
in the Spring, he gets pretty tired of
the practice grind and actually de-
votes his spare time for more than one
third of the school year to playing and
preparing for the sport" he said. Il
find little enthusiasm among varsity
men for Spring practice"
However. it is unlikely that the sec
ond training period Will be abolished
for many years. since the majority of
coaches strongly favor its continuance
But earlier Fall practice would permit
a definite restriction on the extent of
Spring work.
The Western Conference also will
come to some definite decision as to the
future of broadcasting in the Big Ten
There was wide divergence of opinion
on this subject until the 1882 season.
So great was the decline of gate re-
ceiptS this year that, while the fall-off
is not being blamed entirely on radio
many directors believe its elimination
would stimulate attendance.
Sentiment in the Big Ten is crystilliZ-
ing on the subject of one extra game
per season. and it is though rules soon
will be changed to permit the post
season participation of a Conference
champion in an intersectional game.

to the left into fringing woods. It is
the second shot that is the hard one,
as it should be- The green sits up on
top of a h.ll, about $50 yards from
the tee. closely f1anked on front and
right side by series of shallow traps.
The left side needs no trap protec-
ton, for it slopes sharply off down
bank into the woods. The gent
who reaches that green in two shots
can consider he has PLAYED two golf
shots. The hole would take rank with
any of the fine two-shotters around the
Capital.
THE fifth, which Spencer rates as the
L best one-shotter on the course,
may come in for some improve
ment next year. to make a tough hole
tougher. AS it is now, it is one of

IS triangular in shape with the broad
part facing the ditch, and narrowing
back to the back end. The Greens
Committee is considering two methods
of improving the hole, first by trapping
it at the right side, and second, by
damming the creek and permitting
formation of a miniature lake. If the
latter course is chosen that fifth will
become one of the most picturesque
one-shot holes around Washington. In
any event it is hard enough.
Spencer, one of the longest Of the
long hitters, has reached the thirteenth
green with drive and a mashie-
niblick. but that isn't being done every
day, no matter what the ground con-
ditions may be. The last time he
played it he hit two big wooden club
shots and was short, even though he
hit them both we'll. That speaks
volumes for the sheer length of the
hole, for when Spencer hits 'em they
stay hit.
Those Washington golfers who
haven't seen that great golf course
should take themselves a trip out to
Beaver Dam and see what a really
hard layout it is. Some day when
