Finnan Summarizes Damage,
Park Supt. Finnan summarized
damage wrought by the food In the
local park system as follows:
Rock Greek and Potomac Parkwsys

swept away in the flood: bride and
pedestrian walks have been lost; all of
the top soil and S. per cent of the
plant material swept downstream and
paving around the Titanic Memorial
damaged.

completely clogged; polo field to Inlet
Bridge, 40 per cent of lawn areas dam
aged, path damaged and sewers
stopped up. Gilman said the river Is
still too high to estimate damage to
the sea wall in this section.) Area
adjacent to Tidal Basin to Inlet
Bridge, all lawn lost and walks and
sewers will have to be repaired. Inlet
Bridge to railroad bridge, including
pansy beds and rose gardens, very
severe damage" as alluvial deposit is
4 inches deep; walks are destroyed and
sewers will have to be repaired.
Golf Course Loses Turf.
All East Potomac Park on the Po-
tomac River side suffered the loss Of
lawn strip, between the highway and
the sea wall, as well as large sections
of the golf course. On the Washing.

there. -
Finnan explained that the conces.
sionaire Of the East Potomac golf
course is held responsible only for
usual maintenance Of the green and
not for damage wrought by catas-
trophe. Accordingly, he said. the Ma
tional Capital Parks viii bear the cost
of restoring those areas damaged by
the abnormal waters.

w VEST VIRGINIA, whose
M scouts have watched George
" " Washington perform five
different times this year,
still should meet some surprises in
the Colonial attack when the two
teams clash next Thursday in Grif-
fifth Stadium. "Possum Jim" Pixlee,
who didn't acquire his sobriquet by
playing into the hands of his oppo-
nents, is drilling the Colonials in
number Of brand-new plays as well
as numerous changes in assignments
on old ones.
Generally. Of course, the Noun
taineers by this time should have
familiarized themselves with George
Washington's offensive repertoire, and
vice versa, but the Colonials probably
enjoy an advantage in this respect be-
cause they we're able to keep some
thing under cover while easily beating
Catawba last Saturday, when the
West Virginians were forced to show
their best weapons against Western
Reserve, to whom they bowed, to 0.
Both Prepare Ozone Defense.
ONE thing each team is building a
defense against is passing, for
both have shown f1ashy aerial attacks
thus far and can attribute two or
three victories each to that phase of
the offense So the surprises that
may be uncorked on Thanksgiving
day by either team probably will re-
late to running plays.
George Washington's line has yet
to yield touchdown. The nearest any
opponent came to scoring through this
stout forward wall was the play on
which Rice, with Red Vickers carrying
the ball, counted its first touchdown
at Houston three weeks ago. Vickers.
however, had to sprint for the side
lines before he was able to head goal
ward and his scoring was attributable
to poor tackling by the G. w. sec
ondary in its only defensive lapse Of
the game.
The Mountaineers. despite the
strength of G.. WIS line, may stake
their chances on a running attack.
They realize that Kelly Means passing
has been secuted thoroughly by G. W..
and hence may not be the most effec-
tive weapon The Buff will not be sur
prised to see its line assaulted, but
yet have any special defense pre-
pared because the enemy hasn't done
much running heretofore. Where and
how the Mountaineers will strike at
the line the Pixleemen will learn only
after the battle starts.

shares of consolation honors for 1886
in their final battles Saturday.
With Northwestern already in pos

probably will claim shares OF second
place, but another piece will go to
either Purdue or Indiana, which stage

at three victories and one defeat. The
loser in the battle for the old oaken

position.
Hawkeyes Are Hapless.

Soft Spots Gone.

THERE wasn't a soft spot left in the
= tournament today, as the 16 sur
vivors were being knocked down to the
eight who will play in the semi-final
tomorrow. Picard, for example, moved
in against Jimmy Thomson, who hap
pens to be the biggest hitter of ball
in any tournament; Harry Cooper
lined up against Craig Wood, Tony
Manero, the national open king,
matched shots with Bobby Cruik-
shank; Billy Burke met Denny Shute
and so on down the line through
Hines and Ghezziko, Melhorn and
Dudley and Goggin and lanky, lean
Horton Smith. From now on it's all
tough. There aren't any softies left.
Also, there aren't any former cham
pions sticking around. Three of EN-
Sarazen, Runyan and Armour
dropped in the first round yesterday
and John Revolta fubbed tee shot
on the nineteenth hole in the second
round to drop the decision to McSpa-
den. The new P. g. A. champion Will
be a gent who never has won before,
but both Shute and Craig Wood have
reached the final round in other years.
When you look over the last 16 in the
p. G. A. championship it comes with
In q gnat's whiskers Of being a who
who of American professional golf.
That 16 includes the national open
champ, the winner of two Of the big
money tournaments last Winter, Hor-
ton Smith; Picard, the pros pro, and a
former open king in Billy Burke.
Manero, by the way, thinks that
Jimmy Demaret. the kid who took him
to the twenty-third hole in the first
round, is going to be star of stars
some day soon. Demaret halls from

THE 1S-hole matches are over. and
l. the battle now stretches out to the
big distance, the boys are busting
off the brass knucks for little old
fashioned hog killing as they move in
on the heavy dough that increases
with each winning match. Not the
least of the fancy shot makers in there
today is Leo Walper. the amazing shot
maker from the Bethesda, Md, driving
rangle, sole Washington contestant in
the championship, who has reached
the third round in his first P. G. A.
tourney, and who played Harold
McSpaden of Winchester, Mass, to-
day.

ing yet, but he is on the way. He
played 80 holes in one over par yes
terday to whip a couple of rugged
gents named Kozak and Hackney,
winning from Kozak by and 3 and
from Hackney by and /. Against
Kozak he was one over par for Is
holes and against Hackney he was
level par for II holes. McSpaden may
whip him, as he should do on form,
but Harold will know he has been in
q golf match, and Leo Of the phleg-
matte pan may get the nod. There's
one thing about this Walper guy. He
doesn't curl up when he's down.
Hackney had him down with eight
to go yesterday and Leo turned on
the heat to win four of the next eight
holes and the match. He'll be in there

WALPER IS AMONG
SURVIVING STARS
All Former Champs Erased
From Torrid Tournament
in Early Rounds.
BY WALTER McCALLUM,
Star Correspondent of The Star.

~ NEHURST. N. c., November
u 19.-The boys really have
taken the wraps off in the
Professional Golfers Associ-
alton championship. Relieved of the
strain and worry of medal play, where
one bad shot can step into 7, the 16
dizzy survivors in the third round to-
day are in there only because they
either have whipped par to the we'll
known frazzle or have moved right
along with the inexorable old man OF
the links.
They didn't crack par in the medal
round. or only one of 'em did. but
they are taking Donald Ross pet
course apart in match play. And as
the tournament goes on, the firing gets
hotter Some guy is going to shoot
about a 65. The courses record in
medal play is 6S, tied by Ray Coleman
in winning the medal with 143, but 1t
wouldn't be a circumstance If the boys
played it in medal play as they do
in match today.
For example, over a layout rated as
one of the toughest in the land, Al
Zimmerman of Portland, Greg, played
IS holes in four under par and was
roundly and soundly whipped by 3
and 2. The gent who perpetrated this
example of links mayhem was Dens-
more Shute, the rangy red-face from
Philadelphia, who used to play ANA
teur golf, like most of the remaining
contestants in the tourney. Denny
used only 10 puts on the first 10
greens against the bespectacled zim-
norman. who must have thought ne
hit a Florida typhoon when Denny
began rafting them into the can from
the edges.
Henry Picard played 80 holes IN
seven under par just by way OF telling
the boys he will be hard to beat, and
Billy Burke was 3 under for Is holes,
while Horton Smith, knocking his sec
ond shots so close he had little putting
TO do, was under perfect figures.
And that's only half the story as the
third round, at SO holes. was being
played today.

THE presence of these young men
is the high point Of game which
will be more thoroughly pure service
contest than any which has been
played in the past 80 years. The
teams, coached by graduates still in

who learned their foot ball at the
service schools.
Several at West Point and one or
two at Navy had year or so of COL
