Post-Season Play
of Texan, Hailed
As Nations Best

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 3.
U.P)-The almost unbelievable eX-
ploits of Sammy Baugh, Texas
Christian University's quarterback,
in the Sugar Bowl game caused
coaches, critics and just plain
football fans to hail him today
as one of the years greatest grid
iron players.
Until Baugh led Texas Christian
to a 80 victory over Louisiana
State yesterday his national repu-
tation was based largely on his
accuracy in passing. The 180-
pound Sweetwater, Tex, boy thrill
ed a crowd of $1,000 with one of
the seasons finest all-around per-
fCrmances.
Baugh was praised by coaches as
the nations best punter. He booted
a heavy water logged ball IA times
for an average of 48 yards.
Baugh, who will he back again
next season, can do more than
pass and kick. Here are a few Of
his other feats in the mud and
rain New Years Day:
Made longest run OF game, A
yards.
Saved touchdowns by two saw
age tackles near the goal line.
Intercepted three L.S.U. passes,
one with a diving catch at crit
ical moment.
Came up from his safety posi-
ton eight times to make tackles.

Would Have Par
Erased from Golf

looks like a youthful compromise
between Abraham Lincoln and Pep
per Martin, insists that the Bri-
fish philosophy of golf is more con-
ductive to progress in the game
than the current American par
philosophy.
THE big IDEA in golf in any
country and on any course is to
tour that course in the least num-
Der of strokes explained the erst-
while Wisconsin caddy. 1.-The big
idea is to triumph over the physic-
al contours of the course and the
weather conditions on the day
you're playing.
But too many players lose sight
of this big idea under the par
system. They clutter their minds
with phoney figures for the holes
they are playing-and these usual
ly are wrong for the holes and
particularly under the weather
conditions on the day of play.

TODAY'S
Sports Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE

And I'll tell you where the
money would come FROM" Sarazen
said. ct would come from the
combined entry fees of all profess
sional tournaments during the
year. There's no sense in the Spon-
sors of the tournaments getting
the money. Let the entry fees be
placed in kitty and played for
in the great sweepstakes tourna-
ment The way tournaments are
run now, everybody benefits but
the professional. Let me explain.
Say Wahoo Center wants to put
on a tournament for little pub
licity. Does it cost Wahoo Center
anything? No. They get 200 Of
the professional suckers to enter
and pay $40 each. That makes
$4,000. With any sort of gate Wa
hoo Center chamber of commerce
can raise the extra $500 to make
up the $500 purse it has Sc proud
ly announced. In short, the way
tournaments are run now, the poor
professionals travel all over the
country playing for their own
money. It's racket"

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Jan. 3.
U.P)-The biggest suckers in all the
world CT sport are those nomads
of the niblick, the golf profession
ais who are ever on the move from
tournament to tournament.
They start poor, they're poor in
the middle, and they end poor.
This despite the fact that of all
the men who work at games for a
living, they are the most skillful.
This appraisal of the touring
self professional belongs to Gene
Sarazen-One of their leaders
ard was given to me today just
before the stocky little italian
teed eff in the annual Miami
open.
you only have to look at me
to realize what suckers the travel
ling professionals are" Sarazen
said. I'm the biggest money
winner in the history of golf, but
if I had had to- depend on my prize
money since 1923, say, I would be
sitting in the poor house right now.
And in a back room. too. The
dough I've won wouldn't come any,
where near covering my expenses.
THE golf pros give more and
get less than any other skilled
athletes in the world. Let me
show you what I mean with a few
figures. Take the first four tourn-
aments down here. The total prize
money was $4,000, but more than
$4,000 of it was contributed by the
pros themselves in entry fees, leav-
ing an actual total of $4,000. To
compete for this $4,000 about $50
professionals came from the east.
Let's see what it cost them. Trans
portation was roughly 500. Room
and board was about $50 a week
which means $500 for the month.
Caddy fees were easily $40 week,
and there was SIS mere week for
balls. That means each pro spent
at least $3.50 during the month,
eeen if he didn't buy a drink, have
shirt laundered, or get a haircut.
Multiply that by $50 and you have
$4,000 the pros paid for the fight
to compete for fourth of that
amount. And dent forget the
publicity they gave the places they
played.
"And what chance did any pro-
fessionaI have of winning a de-
cent-siZed chunk of the prize
money. Durn little, for COMPETE
ton is so hot now that you have
to be warmer than a five-alarm
fire to finish anywhere in the
money. If you don't believe me,
just remember that a score OF
2S2-which is six under even
fours-.was good for no better
than fifteenth place in the Sara
sofa OPEN"
To aid the professionals-whom
he described as "those gypsies of
the fairways who live for the day
and let tomorrow worry for ITSELF
-Sarazen has originated the idea
for an annual golf sweepstakes,
which would serve as the Kentucky
Derby of golf. This tournament
would be played late in December
of each year, one year in the east
the next in the west. The prize
money would be $4,000.
