The grand old man of

knows where he is or what he
is doing with himself, while the

tacular play, the Hagen game has
slumped from its crest and no longer is
the great one, the feared man he was
a half dozen years and more ago.
You could have taken all the money
Walter won last year and kept yourself
In cigarettes, but you wouldn't have
much left over for other luxuries. And
the funny part of the whole Winter
season last year was that the lone
tourney which he won was the only one
in which he couldn't take the money.
Twas at Jacksonville, along toward the
fag end of the season, where L. A.
Young and his associates for whom
Hagen works. put up the dough for a
tourney called the Walter Hagen"
open.
Walter was broke. He and Bob Har-
low had had a lively time at Miami,
and they arrived at Jacksonville with
hardly money enough for caddie fees.
Then Walter stepped out and won the
tourney, but he couldn't take the money
because it was his own affair, given
in his name
Whether that was the right thing
to do or not, Hagen SO construed 1t,
and with the grand gesture of man
who has made more grand gestures
than any figure in sport. he turned
down the check for first money. while
Harlow suffered and asked Walter,
How are We going to get home?"

the world of duckpins a position
almost on par with the national

Curiosity is the motivating influence.
Never in modern sport history has a
woman competed equally with male
athletes, but in the light of recent oc-
curences it is reasonable to suppose
Miss GULL could hold her own with
most Of those who enter the duckpin
classic with a chance to finish among

ITO date the once great Haig hasn't
graced a single tourney along the
Winter front by his presence.
Even the $4,000 Miami -Biltmore
found him among the missing, and he
hasn't appeared yet in California.
He probably will show up in Florida,
where the pickings are fairly easy, but
meanwhile the whole golfing world
wonders what has become of him.
Hagen, the man who first brought
professional golf into the front door.
and who first made the pro social
figure. at the age of Al is too young a
man to quit tournament golf. Even
though he doesn't win, he still is the
most magnetic figure in the game OF
professional golf.
The old college try? That's Hagen
all over He never lacked courage to
try, and although in recent years many
of his tries have fallen short of the
mark. he still packed 'em in at the gate
1t is no secret that the golf business
isn't what it used to be, and it is also
true that Walters income from royalties
has dropped off considerably. But the
Hagen name packs plenty of thrill
wherever he goes, no matter how poorly
he plays, even though Walter isn't the
golfing man he used to be.

Willie Watt, the city's leading
umpire, has rendered his resigna-
ton to the District Umpires' Asso-
citation today, stating his work at
the Veterans Administration forced
him to resign.
Brilliant Career
Watt concludes a brilliant ca
reer-one that every imp would
be more than proud of. For
number of years Willie officiated
in the intercity series. His deci-
sions were never protested enough
to be brought before the athletic
board.
College ard sand-lot teams will
also miss Watts officiating. He
was one of the most active mem
bers of the District Umpires' Asso-
citation.
Willie comes from a baseball
family. His brothers made quite
a name for themselves on the dia-
mond.
Tried With GriffS
Allie, the eldest, had tryout
with Washington Griffmen and
managed the Reading Club of the
international League during his
career. He was not a great hitter
but a surefire fielder. Allie used
to cavort around the keystone
sack.
Frank Watt, who spent most Of
his time in the Texas League,
pitched one full season with the
Philadelphia Phillies of the Ma
tional League before his arm went
bad. At present he is a member
Of the local police department and
during the summer pitches for its
team. Although he lost some of
his speed, Frank still is among the
best pitchers on the sandlots.
Willie also played baseball,
spending most of his time with
local Sandlot teams.

organization which awaits the
arrival of every team, shows it
the campus, takes the members
to dinner, assigns dressing
rooms and is generally at the
beck and call of the guest
athletes.
"The visiting coaches receive
the same coureSies and con-
SideratiOn. Our idea is to make
each trip to these indoor games
so enjoyable that everybody will
want to return next year. We
really wish to make the stu
dents Of schools and colleges
which compete here feel that
Catholic University is the great
est college in America"
There you have in Coach
Griffith's own words some of
the aims of the annual conclave
at C. U. of the scores of bare
legged and bare-armed lads.
The idea isn't just to run and
jump and romp and play, but as
we'll to create good will through
out the scholastic and collegiate
groups which send their boys
and young men to Brookland to
compete each year.
What Price Success?
Normally a track meet is
gagged for success by the num-
Der of great stars who are at
tracted thereto-that is by the
general public it is so rated. BY
the auditors and those con-
cerned with the financial sue
cess of the meet, it's success is
measured by the throng it at
tracts. And by the average
coach success or failure devolves
on the number of lists, ends and
3rds their charges chalk up.
In the latter respect Dorsey
Griffith is not unlike his brother
coaches, because he too wants to
see the Cardinal colors romp
home with victories; yet he
would not pronounce his efforts
of the last months leading up to
tonight's games, effective, un-
less every visiting athlete went
away with the feeling that Cath
olic University's hospitality and
attention toward those who
make the trek spelled a better
fellowship and inter-university
cordiality.
Dorsey Griffith is just that
type of fellow, and here's one
observer who admires him for
it. Success to the C. U. games
they rate it! Isn't that the
old college spirit?

At BrOOkLand Tonight With Sports Spirit

Probably the busiest men in

tonight is host to upwards of
80 colleges and schools at
track and field meet, the out

This C. U. athletic carnival
is the special pet of Dorsey,
the plans for each successive
meet requiring months of his
time and energy, as we'll as
those of Dutch" Bergman, the
genial athletic director, who
gives Dorsey a free hand in
building the affair up to the
point where both the con-

nothing was left undone for
their pleasure and convenience.
Unless you've been behind
the scenes of a big track meet
and this one tonight promises
to be no pigmy-you have no
idea of the myriad details
involved.
Attention to Visitors
Out there on the floor you
can see what is happening.
The officials are in charge
there and the thing appears to
be no mystery. But bringing
the dozens and dozens of ath-
letes up to the point where
they are ready for the gun

Tennessee Psychiatrist Stresses
Different Degrees in Mental

ard NJ. Francisco, psychiatrist and
superintendent of the Eastern State
Hospital for the Insane.
And if he could dictate the sort OF
text books schools might use, the pub
fishers wouldn't be allowed to include
any admonitions for the children to
"strive always to do your best"
I'VE have different degrees Of men,
tai ability, the same as we have differ
ent degrees of physical ability" said
DR.. Francisco in an informal discus
sion of his conclusions derived from
years Of dealing with persons mentally
i'll.
Why not teach children this fun
damental fact-there are different de-
grees of mental ability-instead CT de-
luding them into believing they can
reach the top as well as the next fell
low?
There would be fewer cases of NAL
adjustment-yes, and even suicide
among college students If teachers rec.
ognized this truth.
I'VE can't all be brilliant lawyers
doctors, business men. We can't all be-
come President of the United States
although parents like to kid themselves
their little Johnny can"
The logical and fair thingsfo parents
to do, in DR.. Francisco's opinion, is to
tell their offspring candidly there isn't
room at the top for everybody and
help adjust them to their condition OF
life.
Along that road lies mental health
and happiness" the psychiatrist con-
tinued. There is no stigma attached
to sensibly realizing We are all differ
ent, mentally as we'll as physically. II
doesn't mean We are predetermined OF
