East and West. Co.coaches Andy

What do you mean, your light

Every man on the East squad

However, here is the probable
starting line of the East:

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 81.
The "big boys" from the East,
Jimmy Thomson, Craig Wood,
Walter Hagen and a score of
others today were shooting at
the So recorded yesterday by Al
Butch" Kruger, Beloit golf
and baseball professional, in the
first round of the Pasadena open
tournament at BrookSide Park.
Kruger, still smarting from
the decision that cost him a
stroke in the Southern California
Open at Oakmont, Monday, was
hitting them far and straight
yesterday at Brookside and his
score could we'll have been a
couple of strokes better than
that turned in.
Trailing Kruger by one stroke

Qualifying play in the PaSa-

Anyhow, some of it's spokesmen
assure me that among the things
it will not do is take either a posi-.
tive or negative position on what
was presumed to be the attitude
of the Southeastern Conference
toward football suhsidization. In
the first place, the N. C. A. just
has the debating privilege. In the
second. there are too many insti-
tutions who would not greatly
care to have this sensitive sub
ject paraded before the press
OF course, some crank may see
this idea as a great chance to hit
the headlines and will thereupon
read some rabid and incendiary
lines into the record. But, at this
moment, there is no planned at
tack on football subsidizing any
more than there will be a planned
attempt next fall to persuade the
public that 10000 crowds are
really questionable.
Issue Not Cleared
There is nothing against any
of these suggestions and l am,
therefore, assuming that the rules
committee will pay no attention
to them. In fact, the chairman
of the rules committee probably
will announce before the close of
the convention that the rules are
quite satisfactory.
Otherwise, everything is very
clear except some of the news
papers conception of what the
Southeastern Conference intended
to do about it's football players
To read some of the comments
was to rain the impression that
it was planned to pay the players
off at midfield between the
halves. whereas all I ever saw in
the official reports was something
to do with scholarship awards by
which athletic ability was not to
be wholly disregarded. And all
I care to add is that I'm conf,
dent it won't be.
In other words, there may be
an enfeebled bleat or two from
the reformers today, but I think
football can be depended upon
to go on paying its players or not
paying them, strictly according
to taste and expediency.
Would Protect Passer
In the same way, the football
coaches can be depended upon to
say more and accomplish less to-
day than any other body, largely
because football coaches, by the
nature of things, are very oral and
very helpless. They have no ad-

Tangora To0pen
Bowling Show

Football will mingle with bowl
ing tonight at Convention Hall
when Paul Tangora, Washington's
pride who gained all-America
selection this year at Northwest
ern, throws the first ball down
the alley to open the festivities in
the second annual Herald Sports
Christmas Fund.
And in all probability Tangora
will bring along several other stars
of the gridiron to watch the finest
duckpinners of the Capital shoot
it out as members of the Occiden-
tai Restaurant and Bovello ALI
Stars, all of whom represent the
first 10 ranking of the city.
1t should be the finest match of
the season and will be interpersed
with a doubles and singles attrac-
ton. AS one leading sports
writer said in his daily column.
You'll be a chump to miss this
show"
AS part of the program George
L. ISemann, secretary of the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress,
will present United States ranking
certificates to the bowlers and
from the start of festivities fill the
bill as master of ceremonies.
Arville Ebersole, secretary of the
Washington City Duckpin ASSocia-
ton, will present Joe Harrison
with a gold medal emblematic of
his District League championship.
Charlie Bell. manager of Con-
vention Hall, has promised plenty
of seats and will have the big
scoreboard working to give minute
detail as the matches progress.
The Occidental Rest taurant
bowlers are Eddie ESpey, Hokie
Smith, Joe Harrison. Bill Krauss,
Astor Clarke and Dutch Newman
(captain). The Bovello lineup will
be Tony Santini, Joe FreSchi,
Perce Wolfe, Ed Blakeney, Ollie
Pacini and Red Megaw (captain) &.
The matches start at o'clock.

ministrative standing, so Chick
Meehan's announced program for
having the goal posts returned to
the goal line and Dan McGugin's
three-way plan will fall upon ap-
preciative but futile ears.
Mr.. McGugin, first, would have
a 15-yard penalty for pass inter
ference, rather than giving the
ball to the attacking team at the
point of the foul, penalty which.
in some cases, might be tougher
to call than the present rule. He
would further modify the rule
which forfeits possession of the
ball at the point where an in
eligible player is struck by a for
ward pass and also wants some
thing done about the modern
practice of roughing the passer.

Even churches, Elks homes, fra

M. C. AS and clubs are putting in

members.
One reason why bowling is so
popular is because it is so inter
esting. The element of luck does
not predominant in this game,
but is just enough of a factor to
make the recreation intensely faS-
cinating.
Unexpected Happens
The unexpected is continually
happening. Every frame in a
game of duckpins is like a chapter
of an exciting story. One can
hardly wait to see what is to
come next.
Bowling is primarily a game Of
skill and science and, therefore,
develops accuracy and q strong.
keen and quick mind. It makes
no difference how much or how
often you bowl, there are always
new breaks to be solved.
No one has ever or ever will
become a perfect bowler and a
perfect game, if ever rolled, will
be another wonder of the world.
Like any of the sciences, there is
always more to learn.
While perfection at bowling is
impossible, yet it is the only game
in which one has a possibility of
securing a perfect score. A cham.
pionship in bowling is not held
for any length of time. The
champion of today may be de-
feated tomorrow by someone who
would not think of entering such
a contest.
Bowling is a clean sport and the
only popular recreation which is
absolutely free from professional.

Fans Interested

spectators game and few people
would go across the street to

miles to participate in the game.
One great lack of our American
athletic system is that it is largely
100 per cent onlookers and almost
0 per cent actual participants.
But in bowling, the 100 per cent
are players who get the benefit
of the physical exercise and the 0
per cent idle fans, which goes with
the saying:
THE athlete competes and grows
stronger,
The weakling looks on and
grows weaker"

Red Cross has met every emergency
nobly, with never a shadow of graft

ganization and non-sectarian. The
Republican women's organizations over
the country should demand a voice
in the spending Of our money.
