as a means of recognizing those
golfers who would have faced the
British had the matches not been
Cancelled.

Chunky, white-haired Donald Ross
stood on a hilltop and looked over
the green pastures that stretched
away on either side "Yes, this will
make good golf country. Fine coun-
try, man. Buy it,"
You could see the dean of course
architects mentally placing bunker
here; green there; working out
the intricacies of golf course in
his mind as he looked over the land
that never had known the mick" of
a cleanly-hit brassie shot.
And Indian Spring, the course
which came out of the brain of
Donald Ross as he stood on that
hilltop with Tom Moore at Four
Corners, Md, that day back in 1922,
now is about to go the way most golf
courses built around cities eventually
go-to the inevitable subdivision. the
steam shovel, the neat little brick
homes, laughing children, flresides
at twilight; and the relentless ad-
vance of a big city toward endless
frontiers.
Plenty of water has rolled under
the bridge of links progress since
Moore, then a millionaire, decided
to build a golf course with his own
money, and organize his own club.
Indian Spring has seen many a
championship come and go; practi-
cally all there are to be played in
this neck of the golf woods.
1t wrenches a fellows heart to see
the old course go; even though In
dian Spring is comparatively new
compared with Chevy Chase, Colum-
bia and Washington. the three oldest
layouts around town. Not that In
dian Spring, as golf course, is
going to vanish at once. 1t will be
there tomorrow and for a good many
tomorroWs. And part Of it will be
there next summer. How much no
one knows at present.
No Immediate Destruction.
my understanding is that the
building will be done along the
seventh, eighth and ninth holes,
said DR.. Tommy Utz, genial chair
man of the Board of Governors of
the club. Yes, it is definite that
the property has been sold. We
don't know all the details. But We
are sure it will mean the destruc-
ton eventually of what we now
know as the Indian Spring course
The future of the club? I don
know. When we are acquainted
with all the details of the transac-
ton we'll inform the members and
the public what we can expect. For
the present I'm sure We will have
the golf course, but how long that
will be l cannot tell. Probably
We'll have the entire last nine for
good many months"

Dixie Bowling Stakes to Lure
Eost's, South's Best Rollers
To D. C.. Drives This Month

+ Washingtons only glimpse this
season of the country's leading duck
pin shooters will be had Saturday,
November IS, when the 9th annual
Dixie Sweepstakes, yearly the Cap
ital's biggest money event, is staged
at Columbia, Lucky Strike and Con-
vention Hall.
An approximate prize fund of
81 500, which will carry guaranteed
top prize of $500, promises to lure
more than so crack pinmen of the
East and South.
The 15-game classic virtually is
certain to draw Nick Tronsky and
Jack White, New England's two most
celebrated bowlers Most likely the
famous Blue Ribbon team, managed
by Frank Barber, the Willimantic
(Conn) bowling magnate, and the
world-record doubles team of Mike
Bogino and Bill Tato will be here.

and runner-up in last years tourna-
ment, and his Middletown sidekick,
Square Carlson; Wally Pipp, Joe
Gacek, Pat Rooney, Clayton Boeck-
man, Joe La Mastra and Tony
Iannarone.
With the money shooters of Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina and
the District eyeing the second larg-
est duckpin purse of the season
there's every reason to believe that
the 1889 record field of 81 will be
surpassed.

l recall many years ago an Army
coach was told that he was expected

but can't do both jobs
For example, Ohio State beat Mis-

SPoRTLIGHT
October Grid Picture
Greatly Changed
BY GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, Nov. 14-They are
now turning into the back stretch
with a startling number of changes
in the early October cast. Among
the united and the unbeaten in the
upper layer, Tennessee, Texas A. and
M, Cornell and Duquesne remain.
Southern California, Oklahoma,
U. c. L. A., North Carolina and Tu-
lane are among the stronger teams
that have yet to be thrown over
board. Their average strength is
well above that of the unbeaten and
united group.
What are the top teams so far?
In the last few days I have taken
a poll Of 10 well-knoWn coaches,
East and West. l am referring to
playing strength more than to rec
oros. This is the way they summed
it up-in no particular order:
Tennessee, Texas A. and NJ
Southern California, Ohio State,
Cornell and U. c. L. A.
Their only criticism of Tennessee
was her weak schedule, well below
the standard OF the other teams
All conceded Tennessee's offensive
and defensive strength and the high
coaching ability of Bob Neyland
But, in turn, they all sighed for
the breathers that Tennessee car
ried--a critical analysis that is en-
tirely correct. And from now on
Tennessee has nothing to face but
beaten teams.
I still believe this Volunteer squad
is the strongest and the fastest
outfit I've seen all fall-one of the
best drilled-one of the most alert.
Yet it has by all odds the weakest
schedule of the upper group-far
below Notre Dame, Ohio State,
N. Y. u, Missouri, Southern Cali
tornia, Texas A. and M, Oklahoma
and 10 or 20 others

REPUBLICAN CLUBS

The most notable feature in the

OF Republican clubs. For the past
half dozen years it seemed that the
Democrats had everything to them
selves with the exception of the
limited claim set up by Communists
and Socialists. But now the Republi-
cans are really getting into action and
their organizations outnumber those of
the Democrats. 1t is not unfair TO add
that Republicans are the more active
Even Democrats will welcome this
regrowth and awakened enthusiasm of

IS good to see Republicans showing

Senator Lodge showed 'em and then

another to succeed Herein lies the
explanation for the increased vigor in

BE THANKFUL

Thanksgiving, as it comes near the
close OF the year, seems a proper time
for pause to take an account of stock
and check up on the gains and losses
which the Race has experienced during
the year. Generally we are so busy
with the problems common to all cit
zens plus the burdens and indignities
OF color intolerance that seldom any
OF us feel inclined toward relaxing suf-
tlclently for an appraisal of the work
already accomplished or attempted in
the interest of progress. But when
anybody takes time out to make such
an examination, IL is certain to find
among encouraging developments the
widespread earnestness and willingness
to keep up the struggle for complete
emancipation of the Race.
Instead of WEAKNESS of the LONG
daily grind for equality of rights and
opportunities, zeal for warfare flames
higher as more volunteers replenish the
ranks OF the veterans. Young recruits.
too, are not seeking "the easy way OUT
ny accepting an lnterlorlty status" or
discrimination. Despite the extra
ordinary discouragements confronting
them by reason of the shortage of Jobs,
they are out on the firing line doing
heroic service for liberty justice and
fraternity. Of all the blessings for
which the country as well as the Race
should be thankful none is more to he
cherished than the Willingness of op-
pressed minorities to help sustain and
build democracy. The well-to-do SNUG
and comfortable in the present unde-
veloped stage of self government, can
not be counted on as advocates of in
creased benefits to the less privileged
1t IS always the oppressed who do most
OF the real lighting for independence
and democratic PROGRESS

BOOK BURNING

Not alone in Hitlers Germany but
in the free, liberty-loving United States
of America books are burned when
they are displeasing to the overlords.
In East st. Louis, Illinois, the local
library board ordered the burning of
the library's three copies of Mr.. John
Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. The
Librarian admitted that the books were
much In demand and that the waiting
list Of readers was longer than for any
other book of recent times Grapes
Of Wrath, one of the years best sci.
lers, lays bare the horrifying plight
OF intinerant workers out West. That
of course is unpleasant reading; hence
the Illinois exhibition of Hitlerian pc
tulance. The local book dealers, how
ever, may not long complain. The SEN
sational burning should be a tremen-
dous boost to sales of the martyred
book.
