N the football guessers (and

thankful for. The guessers are about
to head for winter quarters where

processes and the balls that you pay
six-bits for are exactly the same as
the pellets that Joe Slugger knocks for
300 yards and more But with one ex-
ception, which is this: Golf balls are
put out in production line just as
automobiles are put together in a we'll
ordered factory in Detroit. They all
come down the same chute and they
all pass the various tests, including the
compression and winding tests. In
the latter tests they are put through
machine that registers the tightness of
the winding of the rubber thread on
the core. And right there comes the
reason why Joe Slugger may get few
extra yards carry and roll.
The attendant at the compression
machine notices that a few balls a
hundred test little higher than the
others. Those, she figures, will take
a little harder blow than the
loWer-testing balls So she drops these
high-compression balls into separate
compartment and they go out to the
pro. But here's the rub.
The average amateur, who is
sloppy hitter of a golf ball.
without the club-head speed of
the pro, couldn't do as much
with them as he could with the
lower compression ball.
He doen't hit hard enough to get
all there is in the tighter wound pill,
and consequently he doesn't get the
yardage that is stored up in that
mixture of rubber and balata. But
there isn't anything to the fiction that
special golf balls are made for the
pros and the top amateurs.
They take the run-of the
mine golf balls, just as you buy
them and if they get a little
extra distance it is because they
hit harder and more accurately.
THANKSGIVING DAY is at hand
and you'd think that with little
cold spell hanging around, the lads
and lassies wouldn't play much golf.
Maybe the lads aren't doing it, but
the lassies certainly are.
They've held two tournaments over
recent days, at Washington and Con-
gressional and the lucky Cor skilfuD

Yale game asked Marshall and Coach
Flaherty of the Redskins if the pro
scouts liked Clint Frank.
YES" said Marshall. II especially

pro back but Washington has no
chance of getting him. We won't get
an early pick in the draft. I told
Cleveland they ought to grab him"
Flaherty was asked If there
was anybody in town with a
chance to make the pro grade.
II like Meade of Maryland he said,
"but he's got another year. He's the
best back in town"

Town Serious About Game

WE COULD see Curly wasn't mis-
representing the facts for the
sake Of big gate on Sunday should
it be established by then that his
team had no chance for the title. With
clear eyes and complexion as refresh
ing as the sound of the name Green
Bay itself, Lambeau probably couldn't
lie if he had to, even for gate receipts.
And you sort of get the idea that
his players are the same way. They
still tell the story of the Green Bay
rookie who, after the Packers had lost
their first game of the season and
were sitting around quiet and defect
ed, came bounding in after his show
er and remarked, Whats the gloom,
fellows? After all, it's only a ball
game" That young man never played
another game for Green Bay. In fact,
he was lucky to get out of the room
alive.
No, if the Redskins win Sunday, it
will be because they are better team
that day than the Packers. 1t may
mean nothing material to the Packers
to win, it would mean everything dis
astrous should the Redskins lose, but
still football game. And the Pack
ers-and some $4,000 souls back in
Green Bay-want to win every game.

Bound to PLAY Out String.

IHE first question We popped at
Curly was, What effect would a
victory for the Chicago Bears over the
Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day
(virtually assuring the Bears of sue
ceeding the Packers as Western cham
plons) have on the play of your boys
next Sunday against the Redskins?"
None at ALL" was the amazing re-
ply.
Thinking he had misunderstood our
hypothesis, and visualizing the per-
formances of professional baseball
teams after the pennant has been
clinched, we repeated the question
Yet his answer was the same.
1T might affect some teams" he
admitted, but not the Packers. They
want to win too much Every game
they lose is crushing blow to their
pride, for Green Bay players and
Green Bays citizens regard every
game as big Pasts are forgotten
and futures disregarded when we line
up for a kickoff If ever a football
team or its supporters lived for the
present, 1t is Green Bay. It's some
thing that can't be explained, but
every game is played per se-not for
its effect on the ultimate outcome of
season."

~ NE of the cleanest-cut gentle
I men it ever has been our
pleasure to meet has driven
~ the final nail into the coffin
in which we have buried any wee bit
OF skepticism we might ever have held
concerning professional footballs best
known team, the Green Bay Packers.
No later than yesterday we wrote
that the Packers, who play the Wash
ington Redskins here Sunday, might
merely go through the motions if cir
cumstances developed in which they
found themselves definitely out of the
running for the Western champion
ship.
But that was before we met Curly
Lambeau-and realized that it never
IS too late to learn something new
about the remarkable team of which
he was the founder and is the coach.
Curly, you will recall. founded the
Packers in 1919, and probably has set
some kind of record in holding his
job as coach of one team for 19 con-
Secutive seasons.
