Display Great Spirit.

MOT since the days of the late Bill
Burke Of Central has the series
possessed players with the spirit and
aggressiveness of Lombardy and Ver-
million. They lacked Burke's uncanny
ability to follow the ball and his total
disregard Of WEAKNESS, but in fighting
heart they were the finest the series
has produced in recent years
Vermillion and Lombardy hate to
lose, but can accept defeat graciously
II they must. They never give up,
and when the pressure is on, your
nickel naturally rides with them. Gen.
trail always was a threat with Vermil-
lion, the leading scorer of the series,
while Eastern without Lombardy would
have meant virtual elimination from
title consideration for the Lincoln
Parkers.
Billy wasn't bit bashful in attempt
ing to score. and naturally there are
those who feel he shot too much. The
answer to that may be cleaned from
the scoring ability Of his teammates,
which. by no stretch of the imagina-
ton, could be rated above mediocre
Billy carried Central's burden alone,
and carried it well.

Bobby Jones thinks so, and he's one
guy who should know. For Is years
Bob was in the thick of the big show,

said, because he was tired Of having

Bob dropped a few sapient hints on
the game and his thoughts on it. But
he steered clear of predicting where
he'd finish in the coming masters

ment start Of the year.
Not as Long as Thomson.
"EOR tournaments there should be
special courses with central
points where grandstands could be
erected giving patrons a view of a
number of greens and tees he said.
"Snead," said Bob. "is really good
but I don't think he is as long of the

knowing Bob was in the audience, put
little more zip into his shots
Bob really is serious about that
Masters affair. He's down at Miami
now. grooming his game for the affair
which is named after him, playing
with Francis Ouimet and a few of his
pro friends. He'll top off his practice
with a week of play at Augusta the
latter part of the month.
Meanwhile, both Bob and Cliff Rob-
erts. general chairman of the Au-
gusta tourney, are waiting for that
warm Spring day that so long has
been coming during the Jones tourna-

more than Bob, who says one of the

Tech PrOlOngS Series.

expense of Eastern and indirectly
necessitated the play-off Tech, which
tied with Roosevelt for third place,
actually was responsible for prolong-

Lincoln Parkers later.
AS an example of the crazy-quilt
pattern of series play seven first-half
decisions were reversed when the

Western lost to Eastern in their first
collision on a shot which was syn
chronized with the final gun. The Red
Raiders gained revenge in their second

trailing by points, they rallied to tie
the score and win out in an extra

to dearth of outstanding guards, but
because there actually is no material

angle. George and Joe both we're
valuable in snagging rebounds from
the back and defensively there was

centers SO points, while Conner granted
81 points.
De Witt was the second highest
scorer Of the series. dropping in 81
points. Against Conner, however. he
was outscored in both games. even
though the gap was slight. Conner
scored IS points and generally was

KINGS BURDENS WORRY SUBJECTS
Duties in Britain Increase l; DOminiOns Affairs
 Quite Heavy

London (U.P)-Liehtening of the heavy burden of ofiicial duties borne by British kings is being urged in many quarters.
 The burden, 1t is known, has been intensified many times over since the World War and still further augmented by the statute of West minister fixing Dominion status and the Imperial Conference resolu- tions.
 According to the Constitution, Do- ninion prime ministers communi- cate directly with the king. This in Itself means that the king must have . special Secretariat to deal with communications from overseas. At the same time his duties in the home country have increased. The United Kingdom government and Parliament have placed Dominion affairs generally out of their own range, and thus frightened their duties.
 DOminions Affairs Heavy
 Having to handle Dominion prob- lens and perform multifarious du- ties at home, from signing commis- sions to receiving foreign diplomats, Is becoming a physically impossible burden for one man. The problem now Is to rationalize the work of the monarch.
 Nowadays the king has five prime minister's United Kingdom, Aus tralia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa-adviisng him in di- rect communication.
 King George VI came to the throne with even less family assist ance than his two predecessors King George V had four sons to help him in his public duties, especially by attending important public func- tions. King Edward VIII had the assistance of three brothers, but King Georgfic VI has only two brothers to tighten the burden of duties.
 Former King Edward decided to make tour of the empire, and if King George VI decides, as expect ed, to make this tour 50 that his subjects shall not be disappointed, the situation will be further com- plicated. Then there will have to be a Council of State upon which no British minister could serve be- cause of a decision taken after the life of the Council of State formed during the illness of King George V.
 The presence of United Kingdom ministers on that council excited Dominion jealousy, and it subse- qucntly was decided to refrain from such London appointments in the future.
 As 1t is to be expected that Queen Elizabeth would accompany King George on his empire tour, much of the burden of state affairs in London would again dcvolve upon Queen Mary.
