q. A. has a definite rotation system
for its major tournaments and IN
the normal course of events cham
pionship would come to this area
about once in 10 years.
Long without National Event.
If Washington gets on the cham
pionship schedule, that would be the
case. Last national tourney held
here was the public links title affair
of 1923. Before that Columbia
staged the open championship in
1921.
The public links national title
event goes to Baltimore's Mount
Pleasant course late in July. S. G.
Loeffler, concessionnaire at East Po-
tomac Park. made a bid for his Po-
tomac Park layout, but there isn't
any question that the Baltimore
course is q better test of golf than
any local pay-as-you-play course.
Mount Pleasant is about four years
old, and was constructed at q cost
of more than $4,000 900 Of P. w. A.
money. The course ranks as one Of
the best in this sector. The pros
generally hold the layout to be one
Of the finest tests Of the game in
Washington or Baltimore.
Several tournaments of the Middle
Atlantic P. G. A. have been held at
Mount Pleasant. Being held 50 close
to Washington the tournament ma
turally will be a magnet for the best
of the public links stars Of WASH
ington, which means that the strug-
gle for a qualifying spot on the local
Harding Cup team will be keener
than ever. It also means that Wash
ington probably will be represented
by q dozen or more players, for
others may 60 In addition to the
Harding Cup team Of four.
Easy on Loeffler.
It also means that Santa Claus
Loeffler won't have to dig so deep
in his jeans for expense money next
year. For q good many years now
the chubby-cheek public links king
has been digging down in his we'll
lined pocket to send Harding Cup
teams away, in one year as far away
as San Francisco.
The money involved isn't
peanuts, either, and although
Loehler again will send the
boys away the expense won't
be 50 heavy.
Andy Oliveri, the local public links
champ, who seems to be a standout
performer now that Claude Rippy
has joined a private club, probably
again will captain the local team.
Andy will matriculate at Georgetown
University next year, and will be q
welcome addition to that OUTFIT.

He No Longer Hos

By BILL DISMER, Jr.

Bluntly declaring there no longer
is any regular hrst team on his world
championship football squad, Coach
Ray Flaherty today announced that
eight rockies would face the Pitts
burgh Pirates as the Washington
Redskins take the field In their last
home game at 2 pm. tomorrow.
Don Irwin, a regular fullback last
year; Tillie Manton, who won his
spurs with the New York Giants
during 1887, and Chuck Bond, a
tackle now in his second year with
the Redskins, will be the only In
dams in the starting lineup who are
not playing professional football for
the first time this season.
Karamatic, Filchock to Start.
Supporting Irwin and Manton
In the backfield will be George Kara
matte and Frank Filchock, who have
furthered regulations made at Con-
zaga and Indiana Universities with
promising performances for the
Redskins these last two months.
AS for the line, it will be-with
the exception of Bond-full of rock
les from end to end. Hal Bradley
and Bob Masterson, from Elon and
Miami, respectively, will be at the
TANKS; Wee Willie Wilkin from st.
Mary's of California at the other
tackle, Glen Stralka Of Georgetown
and Roy Young of Texas A. and M.
at the guards and Bud Erickson of
the University Of Warrington at
center.
This, incidentally, will be Wash
ington's first peek ut Erickson, who
only recently Joined the Redskins
after making good on their farm"
at Hazleton.
Showed Pep Against Richmond.
Flaherty's decision to lead of with
predominantly rookie team is based
on the fact that the newcomers
showed an unusual amount Of spirit
and ability in starting the drive
against the Richmond Arrows last
Sunday In game which ended in
the Redskins running up their larg-
est score of the year, 81 points.
The fact that the Arrows are long
way from being the Pirates hasn't
altered the red-haired coach's deter
mination to start the youngsters.
As usual, Flaherty will insert q
fresh team at the start Of the second
quarter and it is then that such
familiar forms as Capt. Turk Ed
wards, Charlie Malone, Wayne Mill
ner, Jim Barber, Jim Karcher, Les
OLSON, Vic Carol and Hen Krause
will trot onto. the field.
And because all of the Indian
backs, including Jay Turner of
George Washington, have been pro-
nounced At to play, 1t is likely that
Sammy Baugh, Riley Smith, Bill
Hartman, Andy Farkas, Erny Pinck-
ert and Max Krause will be heard
from before the day Is over.

Here's what happened: AS soon as

what 1t could do and scored couple

back I told them to take it easy.
by this time the poor Middle
bury players were staggering around
on rubber legs. They had been hit
by three waves of Columbia players
in rapid succession and they had
nothing left. Even without trying,
our fellows were running through
them and the score was piling up.
After the game I realized that the
best way to have kept the score
down would have been for me to
keep the first string players in the
game all the time. We would have
won, of course, but not by q score
like that, because our fellows would
have become tired, too. And the
Middlebury players would have had
a better chance against our tired
regulars than they had against our
fresh substitutes, playing only q

Ineapatities Of Subs

Mentors Keep Hoping
Starters Will Get
Second Wind
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

opcCihl OoIIcSpOuQcnC Oh Inc BUZZ.
DURHAM, N. c., Nov. 26.-Every
football coach knows that q fresh
substitute is better than a tired reg
ular-but 1t is easy for him to for
get it when his team is in q tight
game and he is hoping that his
regulars will brace suddenly and pull
out victory.
When was with Lou Little at
Columbia" Herb Kopf said the other
day, Il used to keep urging him
to replace regulars that I thought
were firing. But Lou never has had
a large squad, and, naturally, he
wanted to keep as many Of his reg
ulars in the game as he could,
because he felt he couldn't place
much reliance on his substitutes,
and he would shake me OIL.
Il told myself then that If I ever
became head coach that was one
thing would keep in mind all the
time. But I haven't. My assistants
are at me every once in a while
to yank out players they can see
are tired. But won't do it unless
I absolutely have to. I keep hoping
they'll get their second wind and
go on and win the game. I feel
that, while we have chance to
win, that chance will be weakened
If take out some of the regulars
and throw substitutes in their places.
That's the way I feel under the
pressure and excitement of a game.
Later I can see where I probably
was wrong"
The Edge Is Lost.
The difference between a first
string player and his substitute
is measured in speed, ruggedness,
stamina and clarity of thought. At
the outset of a game, the regulars
edge is pronounced. That's why
he is in there and the other fellow
is on the bench.
But after a period or so of Cruel
ing play. that edge frequently has
been knocked off. The regular isn't
as fast, can't hit as hard or take
as much as he could a half hour
previously. His mind has been
blurred a little by the hammering.
He isn't any better than-and often
he isn't as good as-the fellow on
the bench.
He Is at an added disadvantage
If the coach of the opposing team
is hurting fresh players at him. He
Is in the same position as a fighter
would be who, having fought five
rounds on even terms with one
opponent, suddenly found himself
confronted by another, and, after
five rounds with him, had to 20
five more with still another.
