An Unsettled Argument.
THESE are arguments which never
l. will be settled. Army and Pitt will
not be thrown against Colgate this
Fall. Michigan and Purdue will not
meet. Neither will Auburn and Ten
nesSee.
In spite Of Michigan's fine record In
the Midwest, at least three conference
coaches have picked Purdue as the
strongest team in that sector. Two of
them pick Purdue as the strongest team
in the country. with more assaulting
speed and power than any other squad
can show.
These are all arguments. which will
add to Winters conversational flow as
the debate gathers force after all re-
turns are in.
Even at this late date the Rose Bowl
roundup still hangs in the air. There
is a general feeling that Pitt will have
to beat Stanford decisively, more de-
cisively than Southern California did,
to get the assignment over Colgate. This
Is largely due to Pitts almost complete
annihilation some time back when q
strong Panther team, with Parkinson,
Uansa, Montgomery, Donchess and
others, was completely overwhelmed on
the Coast
At any rate. this Rose Bowl argu-
ment adds still greater interest to the
Pittsburgh Stanford game this after
noon. On the seasons showing the
Panther should be heavy favorite.
But Pop Warmers late November record
is still remembered. A Warner team
in october and Warner team in late
November are often two entirely DIFF
ferent raiding parties.
You might think that q team, which
hadn't lost game from hard sched-
ule. meeting team, which hadn't won
big game, would be an odds-on to
gallop home. But two strong Army and
Dartmouth teams still remember what
happened in four Stanford contests
when Stanford had set no Western trail
on fire before moving against the East.
$4,000 Open.
FLORIDA opens the new Winter golf
J. Season with one of the big tourna-
ments of the year, the Miami
Biltmore $4,000 Open at Coral Gables.
With S2,500 reward for the leading
score after 72 holes Of play, the money
test will be one of the keenest of the
season.
This also will be the first big tourna-
ment Gene Sarazen has entered since
he bagged the United States Open with
his scorching 66. The presence Of the
British and United States Open cham
pion will lend additional interest, as the
field always likes to have its shot at q
title holder.
On this next occasion Sarazen will
have strong competition, headed by
Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Bill
Burke and other low-scoring stars, who
have been pounding their way over the
highway of par for the last few weeks.
The Coral Gables course is fine medal
play test, demanding not only accuracy
but an extra amount Of headwork. 1t
is the type Of course that can lead to
quick disaster II one starts taking foolish
chances.
It Is well stocked with water hazards
| and heavy trouble for any one wander
ing too far of the fairWay. This means
continued nerve pressure all the way
| through.
Sarazen is keener than usual to bag
| this event and to show that he can
pick up his pace just about where he
| left of at Fresh Meadow. He has been
at the scene of battle for several days
and is playing extremely well. It will
| be interesting to see whether he can
hold back the combined assault Of a
strorg field
