KOCS|S NEARS
COLLEGIATE
GOLF CROWN

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 90.
After shooting Subpar golf for
% holes yesterday, Charley Koc-
sis, University of Michigan ace
and Big Ten champion, headed
into the semifinals of the thirty.
eighth annual national intercol-
legiate golf tournament here to-
day with only three warriors
from the South standing between
him and the crown.
The three Southerners who are
ready to do or die to bring the
collegiate individual crown to
Dixie for the first time, are Ed
White, Charley Yates and Frank
Ridley, Of Georgia Tech.
White Came From Behind
In the 36-hole match play of
the semifinals today, White and
Kocsis, the only two favorites to
survive the gruelling tournament,
will play in one bracket, while the
two golden tornadoes will try to
eliminate each other in the Sec
ond bracket.
In a spectacular match yester-
day, White came from behind to
eliminate Johnny Banks, Notre
Danes last hope, on the 37th
green. Vincent Fehlig, captain of
the Notre Dame team, lost his
lead to Ridley on the second hole
of their match and never regained
it. He lost the match, 4 and 2.
Shoots Great Golf
Kocsis, who has been shooting
near-perfect golf all week, hit a
new high" yesterday and elm
mated his teammate, Woodrow
Malloy, 9 and 8. The Wolverine
champ shot perfect golf all the
way.
In the morning round, the slen-
der lad from Detroit shot 1886
I'll over the par-72 course and
was seven up on Malloy. In the
afternoon, KocSis was out in IS
and the match ended when he
took the 28th with a four.

However, Kirkwood's first nine
this afternoon was more discon-
certing. in that Joe had a real
chance in the face of Cotton's sud-
den reversal. But the American
took 7 on the fifth and 6 on
the seventh and was finished for
the day, although he did rally a
bit coming home.
1t was at this point that Cot
tons supremacy became slightly
threatened for the first time. He
started back with three SIS but
just when the roaring gallery
was beginning to worry. Cotton
got hold of himself and played
even pars the rest of the way to
make his title secure.

HELEN JACOBS,
WOOD WIN At
WIMBLEDON
BY CHARLES A. SMITH

BY CHARLES A. SMITH
WIMBLEDON, England, June %
Joan Ingram, a 24-year-old British
girl, gave a packed gallery at the
all-England tennis championship a
thrill today, when she took the
opening set of her match from
Helen Jacobs, American queen of
the courts.
Helen was far off her game at
the start, but. after dropping the
first set, 4-6, she gradually set
tied down and ran out the next
two and the match, Ga, 6-1.
While Queen Helen was giving
the fans a thrill with reverse Eng
lish, Sidney Wood, the slender
blond from New York, was break
ing the American ranks on an out
side court by eliminating his coun-
tryman, David N. Jones, 6-3,
ga. Ga, in a match that had
all the earmarks of love feast.
The first round of the mems
doubles got under way with vic
tory for Breese-Reed. an Ameri-
can-British pair, who defeated
Kleinschroth- Mcneil, Ger a n =

Sarah Palfrey, of Boston, elm

Lester Stoefen, the California
giant, continued to blast his way
through the opposition with
slashing victory over H. G. N.

Shields and Sharpe advanced
to the third round of the mems
doubles by eliminating the Brit

featured by Shields brilliant

Stoefen will meet Crawford In
the quarter-finals. Lester played
a sizzling game today. He forced
Lee into many errors and his
smashing cross court drives drew
salvos of applause from the gal
lery. His backhand has improved
100 per cent and many experts
believe he may be finalist. In
any event, his match with Craw-
ford promises to be the best of
the tournament.
The first round of the women's
doubles produced victory for

of England over Hide Sporting

American combination, 90, 60.

COTTON, With preceding rounds
Of 81, IS and 70 had the record
absolutely at his mercy but blew
higher than a kite in the final
round this afternoon to take a
70, seven strokes over par. How
ever, he was too far ahead at the
end of the third round to lose out
on the last leg.
But. at the same time, he made
it pretty difficult for himself. With
everything, including practically
all records for this championship,
in his favor, he let the antics of
the biased, pre-British gallery get
under his skin and, messing
around to take four strokes to
reach the first green, he was off
on his only mediocre round of
the event. He finally got so that
he couldn't hit an iron shot to
any green and his miraculous put
ting touch deserted him stimuli
taneously. with the result that he
became fretful and distract.
10000 In Gallery
The crowd of 10000, all a-twit-
ter over this renaissance of British
golf, simply ran all over cotton,
and, for a time, seemed capable of
doing to him what it had done
to Macdonald Smith in 1925
root him out of the title.
However, even though Cotton
"backed into" the championship,
his performance here established
history. AS he started out this
afternoon, he was IL under par
for 81 holes of the actual event,
and II under par for 100 holes
played this week, including the 49,
hole qualifying round,
For once, America finished far
back in the ruck. The end of
American domination came late
today when Joe KirkWood fin
ished with a 70 for a total of
292 and a tie with Mac Smith,
another American, who shot two
brilliant TBS today. However,
these scores did not even earn
second money, as S. F.. BreWs,
South Africa, held that position,
at 288, with some of the con-
tenders still out on the course,
and ALT Padgham, the English
man, ranked third.
Brews shot a II in the fourth
round, while Padgham, in second
place overnight, came through
with a rs and a IA today for a
total of 200.
Shute Finishes With 300
Meantime. Denny Shute, de-
Tending champion from America,
had put on a sorry finish. He
had a 70 this morning and a 78
this afternoon for a total of 800.
AS for Gene SaraZen, 1882 cham
pion from America, he started the
day with a total of 148, had a IA
this morning and then went to
the turn in an indifferent 80.

Italians Are Hesitant
On Use of Elevators

ROME, Italy.-Two indignant citi-
zens were threatened not long ago
with being obliged to spend the night
locked in an elevator in the Rome
prefecture country building) because
they had committed the offense of
using the elevator to ride down from
the fourth floor instead of walking. as
the doorman wrathfully told them
they should have done. 1t took a
great deal of rhetoric to beat down
the doorman's resistance to the point
where he would let the offenders out.
Elevators in Italy are looked upon
by landlords as articles of luxury.
The uninitiated might imagine that
an elevator was designed to carry peo-
pie up and down in a building, but he
would be mistaken.
In Rome an elevator is usually de-
signed to carry tenants-and only
tenants-up, in an apartment build
ing. and to carry nobody down. In
public buildings elevators are usually
reserved for the use of public en-
ployes. The taxpayer is allowed TO
look at them, but seldom to ride in
them. There is little danger of the
average Italians being dominated by
the machine which worries some
nervous people in America, for the
simple reason that the Italian seldom
gets chance to use one of them.

1t is generally assumed that the
United States is ION its way out" of
the Philippines. Whether in going out
1t will take all its military and naval
establishments with it is a matter of
particular concern to this American
Territory. For, if that does occur,
then on Hawaii will fall the full re-
sponsibility Of Uncle Sans Pacific
outpost.
The military and naval forces in
the Philippines and adjacent waters
have always been regarded as a strong
defensive factor, sort of advance
post for Hawaii itself, for no enemy
from the Far East could venture far
into the Pacific with submarines,
cruisers and airplanes to attack it
from the rear. But recent indications
of intention to take troops and ships
out of the Philippines when the nag
is hauled down seem to be unmistak-
able. That is, unless the Filipino
leaders openly and strongly request
the United States to maintain its
forts and naval base-and 1t is
thought no Filipino politician will do
that.

"HERE is one great argument
in the modern world which
have noticed is almost entirely
Il neglected in the modern world.
Those who understand the
thesis go on repeating it; those who
deny the thesis go on ignoring it.
Thus nobody thrashes out one of the
essential elements of thought.
The theory mean is this new evo-
lutionary conception, roughly sup
ported by Bernard Shaw. H. G.
Wells. Prof Julian Huxley and
many others-that man may find all
his moral and spiritual appetites salts
assumed to be change for the bet
ter. Apparently we are more certain
about the purposes of an impersonal
God than we can be about those of a
personal God. Bernard Shaw, in
his plays and prefaces, has been the
chief champion of this view; so l will
take his argument. if only for con-
venience, to summarize briefly what
everybody knows. which is all that can
be said for it; and what nearly no
body knows, which is what can be said
against 1t. Hitherto. it has hardly
been studied; very little by. those who
oppose it, not at all by those who sup
port it.
Bernard Shaw's general creed. or
view of the cosmos, he calls creative
evolution; and 1t is first necessary to
note the genuine value and contro-
versial courage of this distinction.
Primarily. he means to distinguish
creative evolution from Darwinism;
which may be called blind or blum
dering evolution. Shaw conceives of
will as being an almost Divinely di-
recting power in evolution: even If it
be not only the Divine will, but the
human will, or the animal or vegetable
will. In this sense he Is fully justified
in calling his.evolution creative; in q
sense II would be creative even with
