Pinehurst, N. O., Nov. 20-(U.P) The manufacture of mouse traps, which have an involved and pat- ented clip that knock the rascals dead with one punch, is something that never has interested me be- fore.
 But Tn telling you, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that If the designer or manufact. urer of such e trap came to Pine hurst today and started telling me about his brain child or product l would be the most attentive au- dience he ever had. I would listen for as long as he wanted to talk, and when he ran out of ready ln- formation, I would ask leading questions.
 The reason for this is not that I'm any more interested in novel mouse traps than you, but that I'm so sick and tired of hearing guys tell me about their golf shots that any other subject would be a tremendous relief.
 Every adult or woman, sometime In his or her life, has been pinned in the corner and forced to listen to Q golfer who has just finished 36 holes recall every single shot. You know the sort of recalling I mean:
 "On the first hole laid one down the middle, and my second would have been dead on the green If I hadn't had lousy luck and got a crazy kick to the left into the bunker. Well, I had a dead three on the short second--you know, the one with the water carry-but the green was bumpy and threw me of line. On the third I hit as sweet a brassie as you ever saw, but 1t caught a rock in front of that trap you know, that hellish one that wanders across in front of the greenland took four getting out I looked like Hagen on the sixth. The caddy tried but I said six, can bust 'ern a mile with 1t, and dropped 1t square on the green for as pretty Q three as you ever saw"
 And so on and so on and 50 on until the entire round Is covered.
 Such a business is bad enough when you have one or two people telling you of their adventures through the woods. But when you've got a hundred--well, sanity threat- ems to drift through the transom and out into the outer world. Down here at the P. G. A. tournament there's no way to escape golfing raconteurs. They're everywhere. Try to hide in the woods ard be damned If the squirrels don't talk the game. telling one another how many balls they found in the rough during the day.
 The professional players In the tournament are the worst offenders. Soon as they finish a match they run to the locker room and the 10th hole and the dining room and start spilling the stories of their rounds And what is worse you get two ver- sions of every round-one from the winner and one from the loser. Those who have no fresh rounds to recount, let their minds CD wander backward and start telling you about shot they made in Houston ten years ago, or a putt they sunk Cor missed) in the trans Oklahoma tournament in 1923. To hear them tai kof these ancient shots you'd swear they were made thirty min utes before.
 I don't want this column to sound too bitter. haven't any objection to q man telling of a good shot or a bad bit of luck. Now you take

MANERO, OPEN CHAMP, DRAWS ABLE OPPONENT
McSpaden and Thomson Paired in Pinehurst
 Quarter.Finals
BY HENRY McLEMoRE

(United Press Stan COEresp0ndent)
 Pinehurst, N. O., Nov. 2O.--(UP). Eight golers, three of whom last Sunday had little idea they would be here when Fridays sun rose over the pines. squared of in the Quar. ter-tlnal round of the lsth annual PoA. tournament today.
 They are: Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Winchester, Mass, Jimmy Thom- son of Shawnee on Delaware, Pa, Craig Wood of Deal, N. j., Tony Manero of Greensboro, N. O., Hor- ton Smith of Chicago. Denny Shute of Boston, Bill Mehlhorn of Louis- vile, Ky, and Jimmy Hines of Gar den City, N. Y.
 The betting commissioners--and they have them here just as they do on Broadway-established these odds on the four matches:
 Thomson 2 to 3 over McSpaden; Manero 1 to 2 over Wood: Smith and Shute even, and Hines 6 to 2 over Mehlhorn.
 The od:s seem justified in all the matches except the Manero-W Wood affair. Manero deserves a slight edge, Tut not that much of one. The national open champion has been hitting all his shots fairly well, but his chief weapon has been Q butter "a red-hot butter. He has been sinking butts from all angles and all distances, and as long as he keeps his magic touch he won't be beaten. Should he falter with the butter he'd be out of luck.
 Wood, on the other hand. has all hi5 shots working. So far he has shown no weakness. The scores of the two men yesterday were about equal, and look for the blonde bomber from Jersey to give Tony o battle to the end. Mcspaden-T -Thom. son duel pitted the games boldest 1: on player against the worlds long. est driver. There Is no man in the game who will got out with his irons as "Jug" i'll, and there Is no play CT who can match Thomson in 0 slugging match. Thomson gets the cvall over "Jug" because he has been chippuing and putting amazingly well (for Thomson) since this tour- nament started.
 Only o very game and silly man would bet on the Smith-Shute match, which throws two of the steadiest players of all time against one another.
 shute has been playing the same sort of hawless game he used In winning [, 3 Los Angeles open, when he played 72 holes without finding the rough or landing in c trap. Smith Is the finest chipper and putt ter of the last decade. Deadly Is the only word for his short game. The match is strictly one of those coin flip things.
 Hines, on the basis of his play during the last few years, packs too many guns for Mehlhorn. Jimmy had three hines of 36-39-S4 yester- day in licking Vic dhezzi, and they were accomplished despite Q refusal o: his tee shots to behave. Mehlhorn was some six or seven strokes higher in whipping Ed. Dudley.

that shot I made on the country club course at Lincoln, Nebraska, Q week ago. Half buried in the sand, and fifty yards from the Pine, ' hauled off with my niblick and durn near holed out. It would have dropped in the cup if Sam Waugh hadn't kicked it with his foot. And there was that ninth hole on the number three course here yesterday. I needed four to break Q hun- dred and what do I do but putt three-and all because the caddy had given me the wrong line.
 Maybe I'd better stop before I really get wound up and start tell- ing you all the tough luck I've had on the golf course. Why

Depending upon the powers of prognostication that allowed me to correctly forecast the Notre Dame victory over Army last Saturday, :, am inclined to think that the El! Yale footballers will wrap up the championship of the Big Three including Yale, Harvard and Prince ton when the boys from New Fla. ven have 1t out with the charges ot Dick Harlow tomorrow afternoon al the Yale Bowl. It ought to be Q grand game to look at, and though [ can't be there you can wager I'll not be far from a radio when the first whistle sounds for the kickoff Yale by about c or 2 points iS my pQersonal selection, for this is Har- vard's last chance to make a show ing for the season.
 Speaking of predictions, it's easy' enough to know now why so many motorists have been won over to dependable Esso gasoline, which Is what was pre- dicted by competent company observers shortly after Esso and Essolene were introduced to the automobile world. Some of our more recent purchasers and regular users of Esso, who also appreciate the convenience and service of our Cottage Place station include: Leo Legendre, distributor in the Waterbury district of Kraft Cheese; Bob Hannegan of Hincks Brothers, fully recovered from the tragic Cheshire bus accident. which caused such conflicting reports: Dave Feinn. broker in perish. able merchandise such as fruits and vegetables, recently return ed from the west and shortly under way again for Cuba; Eddie Kramer. who is 6 heavy Esso user due to his travels about the city and environs in pursuit of real estate buyers and sellers.

provoking episodes. To equalize matters, why not sanction the screen pass and permit a second eligible man to complete a pass which caromed of one of his elegible teammates?
 I'm convinced that the present penalty for a pass which touches an ineligible man is too drastic. It means loss of the ball. That Is harsh punishment for technical clip.
 Similarly. the rule against in- tentionally grounding pass should be abolished. Few officials ever call it anyway, so why assess the pasSer IS yards for throwing the ball away? He loses down by ground ing the pass.
 "A fragrant example of intention al grounding went unpenalized in the Yale-Dartmouth game"
 There is no getting away from the fact that football would be a much more pleasant game for the ofiicials were 1t not for the forward pass.

1O8-YeQr-Old
NiQht Student

BALTIMORE, April Is. - The
Baltimore city Jail today housed
a man who may be the country's
oldest night-school student. He
is Abdul Hak, a native Of Loki,
India, and, he insists, is exactly
108 years old.
Abdul, a dark-Skinned man
with a short beard, was placed
in Jail by immigration authorities
here pending his ultimate trans
fer to Bombay, India.
His experiences since landing
in the United States have been
the most unusual heard by Fed.
eral authorities here in a long
time.
Two years ago Abdul was a
cook on a British vessel which
locked in New York. Since then
he has been a painter, a fruit
peddler and a boarding house
keeper-and in odd moments a
student in a Newark IN. j.
night school.
While Abdul, who also is known
as Bombay Frank" was visiting
friends in New York, his ship
sailed away without him.
