BY Clayton Rand

Anyone who gets around the country is more
and more impressed by the good works of service
clubs
They build fellowship into the business and pro-
fessonal life of the community and cultivate civic
pride and group effort
They bridge the gap that separates one business
and profession from another creating better under
standing.
Clearing houses for the collective thought of
publc-spirited men, service clubs provide training
schools for local leadership
They pull linen from out hteir selfish shells to
take active part in the larger service of the
munty.

Legs Make Grid Star
OF Tarbox, Power
Al Texas Tech
By the Associated Press.

DALLAS. Tex, Dec. 23-Three
years ago a mild-looking youngster
with a pair of percheron legs milled
around on the practice court with
a swarm of basketball candidates
at Texas Tech.
Coach Pete CaWthon didn't pay
much attention until he noticed the
way the lad handled himself. Then
Coach Cawthon's glance dropped to
the boys legs. Coach Cawthon was
thinking months ahead when he
called the boy aside.
Ever play football, son?" he
queried.
mo. sir, but I played basketball
at Higgins High and I sure hope
make your team"
Well" drawled Cawthon, you're
going to play some football-and
for me-"
Thus started, three years ago, the
grid career of Elmer (the Great)
Tarbox, firebau of Texas Techs un-
defeated, united Red Raiders and
perhaps the greatest back in Tech
history.
He was great sophomore player;
q star In the '37'season and now is
leading his Raiders into the Cotton
Bowl game here January against
st. Mary's Gaels with an all-Amer-
lea honorable mention tag tied on
his uniform.
This year Tarbox packed across
nine touchdowns in Techs 10
straight triumphs and churned his
amazingly powerful legs on runs OF
so yards against Marquette, As and
38 against Loyola of New Orleans
81 against New Mexico, 38 against
Texas School of Mines and AZ
yards against Montana State.
He is dangerous punt returner

Three Concerns Bid
For Public Links
Operation Here
Welfare Groups Effort
To Get Control Draws
leoffIer Protest
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Public parks golf course operation
must be quite desirable piece Of
business. AS officers of the National
Park Service and the Interior De-
partment pored over three separate
bids for the operation of the golf
| facilities in the public parks Of
Washington, the bidders had before
them a warning that an award does
not have to be made before De-
cember 81, 1898, when under the
specifications for the bids the links
operations will be turned over to the
successful bidders.
The three bidders were: The S. G..
Leoffler Operating Co., with an in
volved bid providing for a gradu-
ated income to the Government
based on the gross income from
the golf courses: the Welfare and
Recreation Association of Public
Buildings and Grounds of the Dis
trict of Columbia, which bid a fixed
percentage on the gross income, and
j. William Leverton and John S.
Connolly, partnership in Bethesda,
Md, who also submitted a bid for a
fixed amount due the Government
from gross income.
Welfare's Bid Protested.
All accompanied their bids with
checks for $4,000, as rental for the
first year of the five-year period
specified in the contract. But since
the Welfare and Recreation Associ-
ation-a Government agency-sub-
mitted a Treasury check. E. Barrett
Prettyman, counsel for the Leoffler
company, protested this bid. He
also supported his protest with a
written statement which was not
made public.
Background of the opening of bids
at the Interior Department is that
Leoff1er, who first entered the public
links operating field in 1921 with
what was described then as the only
business-like bid, had had the con-
tract ever since. Once before the
Welfare and Recreational Associ-
alton has bid for the lucrative con-
tract. Leverton and Connolly are
new bidders. Leverton is with the
White Flint Country Club, while
Connolly is an independent golf
course equipment dealer.
Terms Of Bids.
Leoff1er's bid, in addition to the
$4,000 per year guarantee, provides
the following revenue to the Govern
ment: Three per cent on the first
$150,0O0 of the gross; 4 per cent on
the next $4,000, and on the next
group of gross incomes of SIS 600
each, 5, 6. 7 and per cent, with a
guarantee Of 10 per cent of the
gross income over $500 900.
The Leverton- Connolly bid, in ad-
dition to the $4,000 guarantee, pro-
vlces an income of 26-10 per cent
OF the gross, while the bid of the
Welfare Board. with the usual
$4,000 rental, also provides an in
come Of 4Ha per cent OF the gross
Leofi1er at present operates the

Jim Londos, the Gilded Greek, Is
Turing the faithful through the turn
stiles just as he did in the happy
days he first ruled as rassling cham
pion,' reads a press release from
Dave Herman, tub thumper for Pro-
moter Joe Turner.
Londos is doing just that. Freaks,
patent fakery and controlled bouts
have caused customers to stay away
in droves, yet when Londos comes to
town enough persons will scrape to-
gether dollar-ten to make the
promoter breaks even at least.
That's why the Golden Greek. who
admits to AZ years and who has
been accused of being SIS and more,
still is champion when half
dozen rasslers in the circuit say the
lads in the know, could lick him six
times a week and twice on Sunday.
It's not because he's popular.
More hate him than like him, but
he has shoWmanship. Three times
a week and sometimes more he
tackles one of his stooges, and for
the first half hour or so is chased
all over the ring Finally it appears
that he can go no further and the
customers are standing in their
chairs yelling for the kill. then
Londos makes a great comeback,
staggers around under the airplane
spin and wins just in time to catch
a train for the next town.
He also uses enough foul tactics
to make a sizable proportion of
the fans hate him so that next week
they will come back in the hope that
this time some one will put him
away. And it works. Last night he
won from Tommy OToole in 80
minutes. Other winners were Nick
Campofreda over Walter Percy.
Frank Brown over Herbie Freeman
and Chief Little Wolf over Karl
Davis. Jim Wright and Hardy
Kruscamp rolled 80 minutes to a
draw.
