BY HENRY McLEMORE limited Press Staff Correspondent)

New York, Oct 25.-(UP)- Some authorities say the Mexican honey bear is the greediest of all animals. Others vote for the broad-tailed beaver. Still others lean toward the striped gazelle whose habitat is somewhere east of Suez.
 My own ballot, however, goes to none of these, but to the top hand golf-professionals, who have voiced disfavor, disapproval, dis satisfaction and a couple of. other disses, over the Miami-Biltmore's s plan to divide the swag of its an- nual $10,000 open tournament.
 Officials of the tournament, as you doubtless know, have pro- posed to split the field into two groups, A and B. Group A will be composed of the first thirty finish CTS in the last national open, and the GA gentlemen who qualified for match play in the P. G. A. tourna- ment. Which means that group A will contain the name pros-the pros who have won 99 per cent of all the golfing pots for the past five years. They will shoot for $5,000.
 Not So Bad
 The other $5,000 will serve as prize money for Group B. In group B the Biltmore officials hope to enroll the forgotten men of golf those pros and assistant pros who stick to their clubs the year round, giving lessons, fashioning brassies and drivers, and tending their shops. There are hundreds of such men scattered about the country, and the Biltmore open officials believe they would welcome-and

deserve-a chance to shoot for serious money against their own kind.
 The forgotten men rarely get a crack at tournaments offering any, thing more than hair cut money. They could enter the major tour neys, to be sure, but they'd have about as much chance of grabbing anything as Freddiei the Iceman. Opposed to them would be the usual 30 or 40 red-hots, with games whetetd to razor edge by continual competive play. If the Biltmore plan goes thruogh, they'll be able to tee off for five grand against players of equal calibre.
 New Blood
 The name pros, as we said earlier are agin' the idea. It cuts into their dough. It will bring new names and new faces into field they have come to consider their own, private business. It is to be hoped that the Biltmore goes right ahead with the idea. The pro business needs new names and new faces. It's becoming a bit tiresome to see the same guys win ming the same tournaments all the time. If it isn't Runyan it's La- foon. If it isn't Runyan or La- foon it's Wood or Shute or Burke or Cox or Armour or one of the Dutras.
 It's an even money bet that out of the Group B tournament will come a new star. All a lot of the forgotten men need to step up and play a leading role is a chance. (Copyrjght 1884 by United Pressj

Sports Editor, Dear Sir:
 After witnessing the football game at Hamilton park, be- tween the teams of Naugatuck and Wilby high schools, at which game I enjoyed the gridiron exploit of the best athlete, I think, that ever Nemanated from the home of the Garnet and the Gray. re- fer to that scintillating negro star, Frankie Edmonds, who in my estimation can do every thing that is expected to be done on a football field, and do it well. The gist of this note is that I entered into a discuss sion of the merits of previous players, comparing them with the ability of Edmonds, with an amiable sports follower. He seemed to disagree with me, as we went back through the years and talked about such valuable players as Dick Tuckey Johnny White, Eddie Butkus. Bill Harvey, that never-to-be- forgotten Darby O'Connell and others. After arguing the point at issue for some time, my partner in discussion would not state that there had been any better player than Ed- monds. AS I know that you have followed the Naugatuck team and that you have anal yzed the ability of the various players, would you be gracious enough to voice your opinion, and maybe obtain the many, different versions of the read CTS of the city's best paper and possibly receive the opin- ion of Naugatuck's capable coach, Peter J. Foley on the subject.

However. I'll try and catch Pete Foley off guard some cold afternoon and get his slant on the standout Nauga- tuck star, if he will take a slant.)
