champion, defeated little Bryan

by IS, IS, rs in the finals
of the Biltmore tennis tourna-

1t simply was question Of size
Stoefen, 6 feet 3l7 inches tall. just
covered too much ground for Grant,
who tips 5 feet 2 inches, to get
around.
"Aw. you're too big" Grant would
gasp as Stoefen stretched out for re-
coveries where the ball looked hope
lessly out of reach.
1t made funny picture and Stoefen
had Grant running all over the court
Both Grant and Stoefen showed
flashes of temperament during the
scrap and once, when Stoefen flubbed
into the net. he smacked a spare
ball into the stands knocking of
the hat of a woman spectator.

BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.


TWO big time exhibition golf
matches starring six men
who between them hold a
- flock of major and minor
links titles are to be played at
the Kenwood Golf and Country
Club during the coming two
months, under plans now being
worked out by the club and by
Al Houghton. the club pro.
In these matches, Houghton, the
Maryland open title holder. and
Roland r. Mackenzie. the big ban
from the Congressional Country Club.
will make their debut as an exhibition
pair, and will try to build up q repu-
tation by licking four golfers with ma
victories will lead to more matches
for them in the hinterlands around
the National Capital.
The initial joust in which Houghton
and Mackenzie will find themselves.
il plans work out, will be against the
big and little men of gon-Craiz
Wood, big, blond and handsome. who
could double in the movies for Gene
Raymond, and Paul Runyan, who
poisons the opposition with a series
of lethal chip shots and even more
deadly putting.
The second match will find Hough-
ton and Mackenzie matching shots
with Densmore Shute. holder Of the
British open title, and Leo Diegel.
newest bridegroom among the great
golfers of the country.

First Tilt in MAY.
THE -Runyan match is TO be
billed for mid-Mav. along about

THE Wood-Runyan match is to be
billed for mid-May, along about
the time golfdom is getting
warmed up for a series of major
tournaments. This, incidentally, about
the time Kenwood would like to hold
the National Capital open tourna-
ment this yesr-an affair which il
appears more and more would revert
to the Fall.
For the Spring season among the
pros is so clutterd up once more with
links warfare that Kenwood again
finds itself in the position of a club
which wants to hold a tournament
but cannot find dates that fit. The
newest obstacle is a tournament billed
for Hartford, Conn. at Just about
the time Kenwood had planned the
National Capital open.
With Houghton and Mackenzie
two former local amateurs who are
making good in the professional
game-teaming against such opposi-
ton, the matches scheduled during
the Spring should find a flock of the
faithful turning out.
And what better entertainment
could be had for buck than to watch
the mighty wallops of Roland pitted
against the lengthy slugging of Craig
Wood, with the finesse Of Runyan
matched against the uncanny accu-
racy of Houghton from the bunkers?
Or to watch the same local pair
against the effective clowning of
Diegel and the all-around skill of
Densmore Shute?
Both those matches have in them
all the essentials of links color and
competition. They should be among
the finer interludes of the game
hereabouts this Spring. with the local
pros having more than an outside
chance to move on to higher things
in the exhibition game. The dates
have not yet been set. but will be
made known in few days.
Evening star., 1934-04-01

The center tip-off, said by many
coaches to be one of the most spec
tacular parts of the game. was unsni-
mously upheld by the coaches, who
overrode a suggestion it be eliminated.
The rule which eliminates a player
for four personal fouls also was re-
ferred to the Research Committee,
but the group rejected overwhelming
ly plan to have free throws made
from the point where the foul was
committed.
Resolutions pleading with all COL
lege and high school coaches to use
the more aggressive type of defense
was unanimously adopted by the
coaches. They said they hoped by
public opinion and common sense to
induce all coaches to do away with
the defense which always retreats into
the back of the court and slows the
game up. They believe elimination
of the compact type of defense will
increase the games popularity with
the general public.

N the rule requiring the offensive
team to get the ball across the
center line within 10 seconds was dis
sipated as the convention expressed
itself unanimously in favor of re-
tanning both the line and the 10-sec-
ond clause. The coaches also said
they were satisfied with the so-called
3-second rule.
A plan to take time out after each
field goal was rejected after lengthy
debate. Opponents of the plan said
1t would increase actual playing time
and be too much of strain on the
players.
The standard size basket ball was
fixed at minimum of 291s inches
and a maximum of 30A inches in
circumference. The coaches also
favored college courts that are so by
"a feet and high school courts, 48 by
