MacfarIane Takes Open as Mashie Shot Climbs
 Quickly to Clear Tree
By ART GRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

A remarkable shot, and ono that as credited with winning the 1928 National pen for Willie Macfarlanc at orcester, Mass, was his second on the ninth hole of the final round.
 On this hole, Willie hooked his drive behind 6 maple tree. To shoot under the tree meant catching the trap in front of the green. To play over the obstruction required a shot that would climb quickly and carry ITO yards. He chose the latter.
 Selecting a mashie iron, Willie hit the ball solid blow and saw 1t clear the obstacle and stop just short of the green. A pitch and a putt and he was down in four for an outgoing 3i. This breaking nine enabled him to tic Bobby Jones at 2oi, and defeat him the next day, T2.73.
 Unlike the iron shot that requires backSpin to hole the green when jiayed of the fairway, the ball in Q shot that must climb quickly Is played more toward the left foot, instead of of that member. Little, if any, turf is taken in this type of shot.

Buck O'NeiN Says:

(COnt. from First Sports Page)
ball critics and football fans join
in the general applause that has
greeted the round robin football
schedule adopted by the Pacific
Coast Conference teams. The at
tendance has been good and the
quality of football has been high.
The writer asked Frank Dob
son, veteran coach Of Maryland,
what he thought of the possibility
Of a round robin schedule being
drafted here in Washington.
Dobson Opposes Round Robin
''I would be opposed to it," said
candid coach Of the Terrapins.
TOO much rivalry Of a strictly
local character would tend to Gre
ate too much undergraduate ex-
citement. It would be next i'm
possible to hold the students in
their classes under the usual high
pressure promotion that go with
these games and that, Of course,
would be very bad.
'The scholastic requirements OF
our local colleges are so high that
it would be most unjust to expose
any of the boys to the opportunity
of jeopardizing their standing IN
college. Our boys go to college to
acquire an education. believe
that it is the purpose of the facul-
ties to see that nothing interferes
with the boys in carrying out their
purpose"
Dobson denounced the practice
prevalent in some districts and
circles, of keeping boys in a foot
ball game who have been injured
or Jared so that they cannot func-
tion at their best.
"Most of the injuries in foot
ball are suffered by boys who are
tired, injured slightly and robbed
Of their speed and agility, or by
boys who have been hard hit and
Jared so that they cannot tunc'
ton properly.
IT believe that such boys should
be removed from a game at once,
and I believe further that foot.
ball official should suggest or II
necessary, insist that an injured
boy leave the field"

Teams 1sEngdge
At Raiders
Stadium
BY GARRET WATERS

Central and Western play their
final interhigh school series foot
ball game today at the Western
Stadium at 3:15 p. m. and it's the
belief of many that the George
towners may triumph.
The team has exhibited some
splendid football in the series this
year. Morris Snead and Len
Weinstein have played as well, if
not better than any Of the other
backfield men in the series, while
the line, led by Bill Oliphant and
Jim FarquaharSon, have been
veritable mountain walls to stop.
Second Place at Stake
Undisputed possession of second
place will be the incentive today.
Maybe that's the reason Western
supporters are more enthusiastic
than usual. It's been quite a spell
since big Red" elevenS have been
"in the money" But this years
entry has the markings and it will
not be at all surprising should a
victory over Central be registered.
In contrast, Central will present
its mountainous line including
such hefties as Hugh Cramer,
Charlie Swank, Joe Feuz, Frank
Hodge, and Joe MandeS.
Added to this group will be the
talented blocking backs, Bernie
Askin and Bill Ickes, and the run
ming and plunging threats. Billy
Vermillion and Bill Wootten.
Central hasn't had bad season,
taking all in consideration. Over
confidence stopped the team in the
Tech game-that and its sluggish
ness-but on the whole the squad
has looked good for Coach Hardy
Pearce, who again must be
lauded for developing another
powerful forward wall.
Slim Chance Remains
Both teams will bear in mind
their chances for the title-which
chances prevail, slim though they
are. They depend on the outcome
of the Roosevelt-Tech contest Fri
day, at Roosevelt.
Should Roosevelt up and defeat
Tech - and many believe it can
happen - the winner of today's
game will cop the title.
However, it is the logical
thought Tech will defeat RooSe-
velt by at least two touchdownS.
The Trainers are a little heavier
than the Riders and figure to be
more polished with such football
ers as Jack Belote, Johnny Will
hanson and Jim King in the
lineup.
