VIRGINIA TURNS
To OUTDOOR
PROGRAM

UNIVERSITY, Va, March II.
Practice for spring sports is in
full swing at the University of
Virginia in spite of the fact that
second term examinations are in
progress, and will continue through
next week.
Baseball and track men, tennis
and golf players are all busy as
often as the weather will permit.
Team candidates are not in regu-
lar training, however, and they
will not be until the examination
period has ended.
The varsity diamond club will
be the first to get into actual
play, for the nine has only a
week and a half more of prep
aration before it's opening game
against the University Club. of
Trenton, N. j., which plays here
on March %. Two days later the
charges of Gus Tebell have their
first college contest against Ran.
dolph-Macon.
First Meet April 6
Archie Hahn, track coach, is
also having to speed up prepara-
tions. The initial out-of-door track
meet against Dartmouth here on
April comes less than four
weeks after the closing engage
ment of the indoor season, in
which Virginia placed second in
the Southern Conference cham
pionship games.
Tennis courts are being recon
ditioned after bad winter for
the first net play against Haver-
ford College here on March 30.
The reorganized golf team has its
first match on the Pennington
Club course against Boston Col
lege on April 3.
Baseball April 8
Virginia's first-year teams get
into action just a bit after the
varsity men have their opening
contests. Baseball will start with
the Washington and Lee fresh
men on April 9, and the track
team against the V. M. I. frosh
and the tennis men playing
Woodberry Forest School, both
on April IA.
Weather conditions have been
a considerable handicap in get
ting Virginia's teams in shape for
out-of-door play. Because of cold
and rain, the Cavalier candidates,
varsity and freshmen, have had
to work indoors much longer
than usual. All coaches are hop
ing that mild spell may give
the period needed for practice in
the open.

F AV0 R ITALIAN
IN REGATTA

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
March 17.-American and foreign
motorboat drivers who survived
the gruelling qualifying rounds
yesterday will compete here to-
morrow in the finals of the inter-
national regatta.
One of the most colorful of the
foreign drivers, Prince Carlo Mau-
rizio Ruspoli, Of Italy, will be un-
able to take part in the finals,
however. Prince RuSpoli, who has
been dogged by hard luck through
out the regatta, narrowly escaped
serious injury when his gold cup
boat burst into flames while
rounding a turn. The craft was
too badly damaged for further use.
Prince RuSpoli's teammate, An
tonic Becchi, is heavily favored to
win the final heat Of the gold cup
race, feature event Of the regatta,
tomorrow.

Denny Shute, Horton Smith
In other words. the performance
of these golf stars is surely an
inspiration to the young and
hopeful amateur whose pockets
are not lined with gold and who
was not born with the proverbial
silver spoon in his mouth.
Once upon a time the amateur
who could hit a tee shot straight
down the middle, lay his iron
dead to the pin, and putt with a
true sweet touch, could look for
ward with equanimity to the pros
pect of a lifetime job selling
bonds, insurance or whathave-you.
Day Is Past
But that day is past. Expert
statesmen have difficulty in max
ing living nowadays; people are
interested in merely existing
rather than furthering the pros
poets of "Shamateurs" capitalizing
their skill.
So, it becomes obvious that
under this new deal, the future
of the star amateur golfer, more
than in any sport, excepting pos
sibly tennis, lies in the profeS-
Sional ranks
Certainly the star amateurs who
have Jumped over the fence have
made good in big way. Jones
used victory as a Stepping-stone
to real money in the movies and
elsewhere; Won Elm has become
businessman golfer and bust
ness is good; Tommy Armour, al
ways a prospect but never a champ
in the American amateur ranks,
made the leap and since then has
won all the major open crowns in
the world.
Haven't Done Bad
Bobby Cruikshank, Willie Hun
ter, Morton Smith, Phil Perkins,
haven't done so badly for them
selves, and neither has Denny
Shute, who qualified in the anna
teur as late as 1927 and is now the
British open champion.
It sounds easy-"turning pro-
fessional"-but only the great
golfer dares to throw down the
gauntlet; it's the survival of the
fittest. Quitting amateur golf
doesn't make q mediocre shot
maker a champion: golfer has
to have what it takes.
Take for instance .oland Mac
kenzie, former Walker Cup star
and member Of a couple Of the
best clubs in Washington, D. c.,
before the depression. Today Ro-
land is pro at the Congressional
Country Club, and lie, in company
with AL Houghton, another ex-
amateur, has issued challenge
to nationally known golfers" for
matches, keen to take on all
corners.
Has Lot to Learn
Mackenzie has q lot to learn;
he's a good golfer, but not a
champion. Amateur golf Is one
thing; professional golf another.
Roland has to find that out, and
when he goes through that fire,
he might emerge a real golfer.
Giving that British walker Cup
team the once-over the American
public can't help but feel more
confident as to the outcome OF
the proposed international match
at st. Andrews. Headed by Sir
Michael Scott, the 55-year-old
national champion who will serve
as captain, John Bull offers the
following challenge, with two still
to be picked:
Roger Wethered, Cyril Tolley,
Tony Torrance. H. G. Bentley,
Eric Ffddian, Jack Mclean and
s. L. McKinlay.
Scott is a good old war horse,
knows all the answers. So do
Wethered and Torrance. Tolley
couldn't even get any place in
the Long Island amateur; F1d'
dian is brilliant by turns; Nc
Lean is a good, steady player;
Bentley and McKinlay are COM
paratiVely unknown. Looks like
Uncle Sam will make 1t just an
other one Of those things!
