BY HARRY CRIMSON Sports Editor, NEA Service

Birmingham, Mich, June H. Ankling around the Oakland Hills Country Club, scene of the Nation al Open, June 10-l2, with A. w. Tillinghast and Al Watrous, the home professional.
 Oakland Hills is one of the finest courses, not alone in this country, but in the world" re- marks Tillinghast, rare compli- ment to Donald Ross, who laid it out and who, like Tillnghast, is one of the moro skillful designers. Though it offers a full variety of shots, Oakland Hills stresses distance and accuracy.
 Lengthening of five holes by the construction Of new tees and five fairways slightly narrowed in spots are the major changes.
 On only one of these holes, the eighth, docs the additional yard- age, an increase from 430 to 4Sl, change the par of the hole, raising it a stroke. This raises par for the first nine to 36. Par for the 40-yard 14th arbitrarily has been changed from five to four, making par for the second nine 36. Course Decidedly Stiffer
 The remainder of the holes re- tain their former par but are decidedly stiffer. Changes bring tho bunkering around the greens into greater play. notably at tn. eighth and 18th.
 The 443-yard, par four No. calls for q drive and three iron off the tee, the shot should Dc played to the left-ccntcr of tho fairway with fair carry beyond bunker to the line of flight be- cause roll of several yards k assured and because left-centel lie provides straighter line !c the hole.
 It is good hole and will be tl!t scene of many lives.
 The 512-yard, par five No. 2 call! for two woods, with the left-cenrel of the fairway the spot for the tet shot. Increased length gives sig. nificance to flanking bunkers short of the green that must be consid. cred by those intent on going fol the green with their second shot Long hitters will have an advan. tage on the second shot, but onll if they hold the green. There vii be many three butts.
 A 200-yard, par three No. plays longer than it looks.
 Trouble Off Tee on No. 1
 A 447-yard, par four No. call for drive and four irOr or three. The trouble here is Uf the. tee. The drive should be tt the right-ccnter of the fair~a! because new distance makes { menace of series of bunkers tt the left about 200 yards out
 This hole is a slight dog-lcg t' the left and a right-center fairwa. tee shot affords the right lie so the shot to hte green.
 A 439-yard, par four No. 1 one of the best holes on the course At the left. off the tee, and ou about 210 yards is a real bunke that will catch a hook or off-iin shot.
 About 2so yards of the tee i a creek that will have to b. watched by the Sam Sneads Jimmy Thomsons, and othe powerhousers, especially If tn course is fast.
 Hazards off the tee of the 351 yard, par four No. 6 are tw, harmless docking and perfectl placed trees, one out 130 yards t the left and the other out 25 yards to the right. The secon' shot is deceptive in that the playe can't see all of the green or evel all of the pin. The green Is sur rounded by bunkers. No. 6 is on of those holes where the shot maker might pick up birdie o drag down a six.

 NAUGY ELEVEN
Farrar, Naugatuck Boy Makes 9O.Yard TOucha
 down in 38.6 Finale

Naugatuck, Nov. 26-A 90-yard touchdown run by Lefty Farrar was the only consolation for a fighting Naugatuck high school team in its game yesterday afternoon against a much superior Ansonia high eleven The game, played in Ansonia, rec suited in a 38-6 win for Ansonia. It was the last game of the season for Naugatuck.
 "Bubby" Natowich was too much for Naugatuck, this young man hailed as one of the best in the state. making four touchdowns ano Skerlick making the other two fol Ansonia. Early in the first period Natowich ran 40 yards for the first score with Yuravich kicking tho point after touchdown. A tumble hurt Naugatuck's chances of making progress and then Natowich ran 4t yards to cross the line but the play was called back, Ansonia being off' side.
 On Their Toes
 Naugatuck was alert to recover fumbles but could not go places ant in the second period, Natowich rar 42 yards to score. Ansonia started Q drive with Natowich and Skerlich carrying the ball and this ended ir score via the air, Natowich tt Skerlick.
 In the third period, a kick by Far rar was blocked and recovered b, Ansonia on the Naugatuck 12-yare , line. Natowich took a pass iron Skerlick to score and Natowich ther passed to Sundick for the extrt point, making the score 26-0.
 Several Ansonia attempts failed but Natowich ran 9 yards to thu Garnet three-yard line and ther passed to Skerlick for score.

Grads After Grid Scalps Of Tuss McLaughry-Dobie
BY ERNEST BARCELLA Limited Press Staff COrrespondent)

Boston, Nov. 26.-(UP)--Letting the sports chips fall where they may.
 Reports from Providence indicate that Head Coach Fuss McLaughry of Brown is on the alumni griddle .s. these reports say that the younger element of Browns gradu- ates are so dissatisfied with the showing of the football team in re- cent years that committee has been formed to do something about 1t. ...
 According to one story, this com- mittec has sounded out a half doz- en new coaching prospects, includ- ing Greasy Neale, Yale's backfieltl strategist, and Head Coach Gus De- rais Of Detroit It is under stood the committee will present It's recommendations to the athle- tic counsel soon
 McLaughry, who went to Brown from Amherst in 1926, rode to fame his first year aC Providence with his "iron man" eleven that knocked over Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth in recent years, however, in- juries, lack of material and one thing and another have added to McLaughry's woe Result is that Brown has been beaten con- sisently by most of Its big-time foes
 When things like that happen, Q team ceases to become gate att traction and when team loses its crowd appeal, it's the ath- letic exchcquer that suffers because most colleges depend on the foot ball gate to support the other sports.
 Though the reported anti-Mc- Laughry movement has been kept quiet, Boston College grads have been open in their criticism of Gil
 Gil will be in a bit of n spot to- morrow when his lads wind up a rather disappointing season fin the traditional game with Holy Cross. A victory over Holy Cross may help .. but the severest cri- tic won't be satisfied until Dobie is stripped of his portfolio which isn't likely for at least an- other year =.
 Dobie has one more year to run on his contract and B. o. can't afford to shell out the $l0000 that would be necessary to buy up the contract Boston College athletic authorities admit they arc way in the red".
 Biggest howl about Dobie is that his offense is antiquated So say the grandstand quarterbacks '. Maybe that particular angle had nothing to do with 1t .. anyway, Boston sportscribes are still talking about the last play in last weeks losing cause against Boston University. ...
 One of the boys conceded a triple lateral in the huddle the first two laterals worked but the third failed f. immediately after the game, Dobie deneid hav- ing anything to do with manufac- turing the play.
 Attempting to pick the winner of q E. C.-Holy Cross game is like trying to forecast the outcome of Harvard game .. our guess Is Holy Gross (Score so far: 65 right, g wrong, 6 ties. Average 730),

SEABACK SHOWS AT
 WOOSTER SUNDAY

Anytime the stakes are down. whether high or low, no matter what the condition of the table, cues or cloth. I'll take Charley Seaback against any player in the world" Thus spoke Ralph Greenleaf, fif- teen times champion of the world at pocket billiards, and Ralph must have had this in mind in his match with Seaback in the recent tourna- mcnt in New York after having a substantial lead on the Syrian champion, Ralph saw "Chic" sweep past him with two fair sized runs, to win i26 to 86. This defeat threw Greenleaf into Q tie, from which he ultimately emerged with the title. But 1t established testi- monial to the squareness of the pocket billiard game. Seaback had been Greenleafs booking manager and playing partner for two years or more. and had all to gain by NOT defeating Ralph; but the sure thing bettors, and "wise men" of Broadway received severe jolt when Seaback upset the apple-cart. Some years ago. Erwin Rudolph, then champion, was engaged in Q match with Seaback. He needed three points. while Seaback needed ii2. It was . big money match with plenty bet on the side. Sea- back wanted only one chance. He got it--and with 1t li2 balls. Char lev finished fifth in the 1885 cham pionship tournament, eigth in the last tournament and was third for the National title in i933.
 Seaback is from this state and. is considered the best pocket billiard player Connecticut ever turned out.
 The billiard fans remember the money matches he played with Bob Stone when he was located in Tor rington and Bob was the state champion.
 He will appear at the Wooster Sunday at s D. rn., and will again play his old rival Bob Stone a match of i26 balls.

GREEN BAY HAS CHANGE FOR PRO TITLE
New York Giants Sur. prised By Dodgers;
 Lions Lose
(By United Press)

Green Bay and Washington main. tained e mathematical chance today to finish ahead in their respective divisions in the National Football league. but the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants were odd.on favorites to meet in the play-of championship.
 The Bears, as a result of their l3-0 victory over the Detroit Lions yesterday, need only tie or e vic- tory in one of their two remaining games to clinch the western title. However, should they lose both and Green Bay defeat Washington next Sunday, the Packers would win out. The Redskins must beat both the Packers and the Giants present eastern leaders to take the crown.
 Two field goals by Jack Manders and a touchdown by Sam Francis killed the Lions last hopes of the championship money before a crowd of 25,000 at Detroit.
 A crowd of 27,000 saw the rejuven- ated Brooklyn Dodgers hold the powerful Giants to a 1913 deadlock. It was a battle of field goals with Ralph Kercheval booting two for Brooklyn and "rillie" Manton bag ging @ pair for New York. Touch- down scorers were Maniaci for the Dodgers, who also kicked the extra point and Poole, who took a pass from Hank Soar. for the Giants. Manton converted for his 26th con- secutive point over touchdown.
 In the American league, the New York Yankees were blanked 27.0 by the Los Angeles Bulldogs before l6.- GOO fans in the California city. It was the eighth straight win for the leading Bulldogs.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26--(UP) = Army and the Navy meet tomorrow with . promise of perfect weather and 10000 spectators for the 38th renewal of their football classic.
 The turf of Municipal Stadium was dyed @ luxuriant green today and the last spike. was sledge-ham- mered into place on e maze of rail- road tracks which will carry special Army-Navy trains direct to the field from New York. Washington and Baltimore.
 The New York train will bring g cars. The Baltimore trains, deckee in Navy Blue, will carry the Nav. team which. contrary to usual GUS. tom, is not expected here until few hours before the game.
 Washington will send Q ton or s; of gold braid worn by Navy anc Army officials, most bitterly parti. san of the 10000, and rtgh govern ment officials and legislators.
 The last minute rush for ticket was on. All tickets lave been sold The only source was the scalper who vended for $l5 the $40 tick cts to Municipal Stadium.
 Federal agents circulated through the downtown section and at the stadium In @ search for scalpers who, when arrested, will be de- prived of their stock and held for investigation.
 The Army team arrived here last night and went at once to Green Hill farms. Signal practice was scheduled for today at Ir Slklin field, while the Navy team engages in light drills at Annapolis.
 Army was slight favorite. due to its better showing. Navy won four games to Army's six but scored against Notre Dame, which Army was unable to do. Army's victory over Harvard betters its chances considerably in the eyes of the bet- ting fraternity.
