The passing Of Gavvy Cactus

10 AN1ELEO, OcCtIlUcI d.
Foot ball is the great American

- entire story. A day or so ago,
your correspondent got into a loud
voiced argument as to which Amer
lean university led the field in all
around sports ability, including every
game any one might happen to think
of at the moment.
Our nomination Is the University
of Washington, Seattle. AS Pacific
Conference champion. Washington is

Of the best squads in the country.
Last Summer, I saw Wash
ingt0n's crew outrow the river
at Poughkeepsie and later on
outrow the pick Of the eight
cared world at Berlin In the
Olympic test.
AL Ulbrickson had the top crew in
sport. About the same time I saw
Johnny Medica Of Washington break
up the threatened swimming domi-
nation of Japan. Washington once
again came to the rescue Of the United
States.
What basket bali team went far
Their in the Olympic showdown than
any other college team? The answer
once more happens to be Washington.
which happens also to rank well up
in Winter sports.

A MONG other unusual stunts this
year was the ace scored by Albert
w. Howard, one-armed golfer. at
Washington Golf and Country Club,
and the 225-yard ace made by Ad-
miral C. E. Courtney at Chevy Chase.
Few OF them were made in compe-
tition, however The only one that
comes Immediately to mind is the one
made on the eleventh hole at Manor
by Billy Dettweiler.
The outstanding ace made in this
sector came in the Maryland State
open championship nine years ago by
Gene Larkin. now the Woodmont pro.
Gene hooked a tee shot out Of bounds
on short hole at Elkridge. near
Baltimore. Teeing up another ball,
and taking the stroke and distance
penalty, he knocked the second ball
into the cup on a 225-yard hole and
went on to win the championship
by a single stroke.

they probably are tougher, for the

Perhaps the answer lies in the fact
that each club about the Capital has

them could match Lawrence Morgan
Kelley.
The East squad will not elect a

small wager that Lawrence Morgan
Kelley will be the duly chosen leader.
The Kelley is always captain. Kelley
finds himself in excellent company
for this game, but he's still the No. l
