But the agriculture heads are

NOTHING TAMES A BIG THIRS'

Yes, the bigger the thirst the better dry,
ight.bodied, berry beer tastes!
It's wonderful what Gunther's dry tang
does to a thirst. Nothing sweet about it.
There's refreshing tingle as the hoppy,
sparkling beer goes down. And when it lands,
you don't quickly get an uncomfortable "6lled
up feeling, because Gunther' is light bodied.
After the first glass you'll lose your thirst,
but you'll be glad you did have it.
To brew a completely satisfying, thirst
quenching beer we use an unusually high
percentage of choice Bohemian hops which
give favor domestic hops alone can't ap-
proach. We brew the beer after an ancient
formula and age it thoroughly. The result is
a beer that is really dry, light bodied and

Baugh's Case 4 Mystery.
The above just goes to show how
lost the Redskins were without Riley
Smith. The one cheering bit of news
seemed to be the fact that telegram
from Washington stated that Smith
had had minor operation performed
on his leg and would be ready in the
near future. His re-entry into the
Iine-up will do much to clear the
atmosphere, but there still is a ques-
ton which grows more puzzling every
hour. That is the strange case Of
Sammy Baugh.
Yesterday. before going out to the
Cotton Bowl. Flaherty insisted that
Baugh was to be used only for pass
ing purposes: that he was to be re-
moved whenever the Redskins went on
defense. You know what happened.

tire game: rushed and kicked the
ball as we'll as passed it and. more
over, did so with an abandon which
was amazing to those who knew the
stars condition.

John Kovatch. who caught it in the
coffin corner yards from the goal
and crossed standing up. George Miller
turned the center duties over to some
one else and came back to tie the
score by a placement.
Midway the last quarter the Stars
scored the winning touchdown, thanks
to the Redskins willingness to gamble
rather than play it safe. Three times
in row Tuckey's passes had gone for
naught. but the Indians didn't seem
to catch on and called for a fourth.
When Tuckey was chased far back
by three rushing linemen, he let 90
in desperation, and that was the ball
game.
Pass Interception Decides.
Wallace johnson, a center, inter-
cepted it on the IS, lateralled to Virgil
Jones, who ran to the IL. After two
short passes Johnny Neece of Rice
found hole in the right side of the
Redskins line big enough to drive a
truck through and romped over for
the winning score.
If the game had any consolation
for Washington fans, it was the fact
that George Karamatic proved his
Chicago performance was not flash-in-
the-pan. The old>Gonzaga star looked
to be the hardest running of all the
Redskins. and his punts continued to
be lengthy and well placed.

Success Of Indian Spring
Party Creates Demand
for Exhibitions.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Looking over the crowds that gal.

sionalS and l visitor compete in 9
series of matches among themselves
without nothing much at stake, you gel
the idea that maybe the boys are
overlooking a bet when they don't
afternoon contests. Yet the pros
themselves like them and would like
to play in more of them.
Witty Cox explains it this way: I'VE
we are running into a lot OF tourna-
ments. including the Maryland State
team matches, that will keep all OF
us busy well into October We have
two matches listed for September IL
and l8, and the following week some
Of the boys will be away playing in
the Westchester open. So it looks as
If We can't hold these matches any
more until mid-October The golt
pro depends a good deal on the pub
licity he gets and how he goes in
contests watched by lot of people
That turnout at Indian Spring was
very encouraging and we should have
more like it. l certainly wish we had
gotten started earlier
Gate Fee Is Suggested.
Your guess is as good as mine as
to how many people went out to
Indian Spring to see the matches,
but conservative figure would be
somewhere between 1000 and $500
Why don't they charge a gate fee
to these matches?" several members
Of the gallery said. Even at 2 bits a
head they'd do all right But that,
as the pros explain. is something for
the future. Certainly few golf gal
leries will look at better golf than Leo
Walper and the other boys shot when
they had to hole all puts and were
playing for modest slice of money.
They have to hole all puts in these
exhibition contests because the ton
scorers collect piece of the 5-buck
entry fee. and the other lads mightn t
think it nice if someone started con-
ceding puts. even the wee ones such
as the putt Ed Oliver missed on the
third green. They all can be missed,
even the 6-inch puts.
Next year you can depend on 1t
we'll get started earlier and have a
longer schedule" said George Diffen-
baugh. ITO some of the boys it's quite
sacrifice to give up a lot of Sunday
afternoons. but they feel they owe it
to the game and to each other to
play They're not so much interested
in making money as in spreading the
gospel of golf around"
Maybe that's the reason the golf
