Whistling Golf Ball, And Non- Hook Driver Suggested ByVeteran

A personal campaign to make golf painless and proficient through the adoption of a number of his own inventions - not patented - will be undertaken single handed (unless prevented by force) by the veteran golfer, Amos o. Twizzle- witch, life member of the Bryant Park Country Club. ("business as usual during alterations!") it was announced yesterdays The scene of the campaign launching is scheduled to be the first annual Golf Night at the Hotel Com modore, which the Metropolitan Section of the Professional Golfers Association is holding on Satur- day evening. September 29th.
 Great Stuff
 The Whistling olf-Ball-which locates itself in the deepest rough the Non-Hook Driver, which as- sures straight fairway drives of not less than 400 yards and the Robot Caddy who cannot add or talk back all these and more will be presented for considera- tion by MT Twizzlewitch at the function which Incidentally will honor by a testimonial dinner. the 1894 national P.G.A. champion. Paul Runyan of the Metropolis Club of White Plains.
 From his seat on the 20th tee, with a good view of the Sixth Ave- nue L - Twizzlewitch was inter- viewed yesterday on the develop ment of the grand old game.
 Golf has been too exacting - and too nerve wracking for the amateur" he said. swishing his Non-Hook Driver at a blade of grass, - the first to show in the reconstruction of the Bryant Park Course. There never should have been any hooks or slices invented. They were simply the dirty work of certain mercenary golf pros who wanted to sell more balls to the players heetaoishrdtphfs," etaoinn players" he acclaimed.
 And here," he continued. reach- ing behind a DSC paper receptacle, lis my newest invention. the Movable Green Cup which moves right into the direction of the ball that has been putted by the duffer. assuring only single putt to each green. This will be a blessing to those who have long twisted vertebrae out of position by assuming back-breaking stance in putting and will bring more women and littel children to the game. by eliminating the rough language usually following missed one-foot butts.
 Fine
 Then I am working on the Ex- plosive Sand Trap - mastery piece of work - which uses spe- cial type of sand which is found only on a small island off the Gal apages. The minute a ball acci- dently drops into sand trap. the explosive sand immediately losses it onto the fairway once more. This, too, will eliminate many Of the agonies- of the grand oio game"
 "Did you ever use homing pi- geons or retrievers?" the reporter asked.
 Outraged, MT Twizzlewitch broke his only Non-Hook Driver in many pieces - and would have flung them to the four winds but there was no wind blowing. His rage was too much for the repor- ter - who toward the Forty-Soc- ond Street gate of the club while the veteran golfer-inventor fled m the opposite direction encouraged in his flight by the tall and active form of a uniformed cop. Full details of the Twizzlewitcn inventions will be made public at the Runyan dinner at the Commo- dore on September 29th.

.Galloping Gaels
 And Santa Clara Resume Relations

United Press Staff Correspondent
 San Francisco (UP)-All is se- rene once again on the little big game" front.
 The little big game" is the an- nual football match between St Mary's, the Gallopin' Goels, and Santa Clara, the Broncos, better known in eastern football circles as "the team which knocked over California the last two seasons"
 Just to keep the records straight the "big game" on the coast is the one between the Stanfords and Californias.
 Lack Love
 1t seems that Santa Clara and St Mary's have no particular love for each other. Neither have the srival roofing sections. The coaches, Edward Slip Madigan, came from Notre Dame, hence they are on speaking terms.
 1t all started year ago when, before a crowd of 55,00O in kezar Stadium, the boys fought to a 7-7 tie. That brought up the question over who was to get the football being as how nobody won the game.
 One side took it; the other ob- jected. Spectators poured onto the field to voice their sentiments. A couple of halfbacks threw a mess of fists into the fray. A brawl started and police were called in to halt the proceedings. No one knows yet who got the football.
 Vari-coIored Suits
 Anyway, Santa Clara decided not to have anything to do with the St Mary's crowd, who hail from the Moraga Valley and who in the past have been known to come on the field wearing different colored uniforms-red and blue for the line, black and blue for the ends, other combinations for other posts and pure white suit for the quar- terback.
 The latter innovation, incident ally, often resulted in the referee being tackled by the opposition on the assumption he was the St Mary's quarterback.

 dies B at B. C.

Boston, Sept 5- (UP) - The thud of boot on pigskin was heard for the first time this season or four fronts in Massachusetts as Holy Cross, Boston college, Boston university and Northeastern uni versity officially opened practice.
 Boston college had the largest squad reporting, with 59 hopefuls answering the call of Joe Me- Kenney who is starting his seventh season as head coach at University Heights. Though only three of the squad had starting assignments in last seasons objective game with Holy Cross, prospects of success full campaign were regarded as bright because of the unusually high calibre of the juniors and sophomores.
 Opening day enthusiasm was somewhat dulled at Holy Cross, where 48 reported to Coach Eddie Anderson, when it was learned that Joseph D. Locke, line coach VITO resigned earlier this year be- cause of i'll health, had died in Chicago. Numbered among the candidates were 20 veterans of last years strong purple eleven who will form the nucleus of the squad that faces one of the hard est schedules in it's history.
 A new deal was inaugurated at Boston university where a record group of 32 turned out to greet Coach Pat Hanley who is starting his first season here. The Terriers had been handicapped in recent years with the player control sys- tenn which has been abandoned.
 A more successful year is ex- pected at Northeastern where foot ball was adopted only last year. Seven lettermen- were among the p candidates reporting to Coach Al Mccoy.
