new GOLF RULE
TO BE TESTED
IN NTOURNAMENT

CORAL GABLES, Fla. Dec g..
(UP)-Golf's newest controversial
ruling-limiting a player to IA clubs
gets its first major test tomorrow
when 200 of the nations best tee
off in the annual Miami Biltmore
$4,000 open championship.
While the rule does not become
golfing law until January l, 1888,
the Biltmore tourney committee
ordered its enforcement in this
event just to furnish an early test.
Aces of the tourney circuit are
sharply divided in their regard for
the rule Ralph Guldahl, national
open champion, and defending
champion of the Biltmore title, is
the most outspoken. Guldahl thinks
it is silly to make any such arbi-
trary ruling" Another one of the
antis is the veteran Wild Bill Mel
horn, of Chicago.
Hell, why ZAP" he asks. why
not seven? That's enough and I've
got to do a lot of thinking to
figure out enough clubs to make
my bag as heavy as the others"
Henry Picard of Hershey, Pa,
Argentine open champion, objects
to the rule because it might cramp
the style of some future super
Bobby Jones or super-Walter Ha-
gen." Picard said he likes to carry
more than IA clubs so he can switch
when scoring poorly

the southern California prep

A 1874 pound fullback, who plung-
es through the center of the line
with amazing success and a 1872
pound quarterback, who runs a la
Cotton Warburton, are the main
cogs in the Needles offense.
Holtville Vikings, which gained
more yardage than any other val

Gray, Miyahar and CASTOR to carry
the running attack. Gray will do

Holtville's line, which showed

Dullest Trading
In History Noted
At Major Meeting

CHICAGO, Dec. 8. tUP) - a
check up today of the turnover
o. players among major league
clubs since the minor league meet
ing opened at Milwaukee Dec. l
reveals perhaps the dullest trading
mart in the history of the annual
winter conclaves.
Only IL major league players
changed hands Nine of them were
in the American league and three
il the national.
Some of the old timers thought
the reaction to the Tigers-White
Sox deal in Detroit might have
scared off other clubs from risk
ing displeasure OF the fans by trad
ing a popular player like Gerald
Walker
Others believe the National
leagues lack of trades may be
traced to the fact that the Var
Mungo situation blocked many pos
sible deals. Several clubs bid fol-
Mungo and didn't want to oper
negotiations with other teams until
they had an answer on the big
Brooklyn firebrand.

individual parking spaces ranging
