Rose Bowl Men
Enjoy Holiday
From Drills
Loaf Until Tomorrow;
Volunteers Get Warm
Welcome at Pasadena

BY the Associated Press
PASADENA, Calf, Dec 25-Foot-
ball teams of the Universities Of
Tennessee and Southern California
enjoyed a holiday today-their last
day of grace before pounding back
to the practice field to wind up prep
arations for their encounter in the
Rose Bowl New Year Day.
The Tennessee squad, together
with officials of the school and visit
ing football writer's, were invited to
Hollywood Christmas party at the
ranch home of Clarence Brown, film
director and one-time Tennessee
grid star.
Vols Get Warm Welcome.
Maj. Robert Neyland, the Vol
coach, said the day would be one
of rest, but no one would be sur
prised if he slipped the team out a
back door guided the lads to a
practice field and sent them through
private workout
The mighty Trojans of S. C. were
assured of full holiday, but will go
back to the training grind tomorrow
on the Southern California campus,
with the visiting experts invited to
watch the exercises.
One of the largest crowds in recent
years turned out to welcome the
Tennessee special train at noon yes

In the excitement, Coach Howard
Jones of S. c., who had come over
to meet Neyland for the first time,
virtually was pushed out of the
scene. Later, with Athletic Direc-
tor Willis o. Hunter, however, he
met the Tennessee coach and his
staff of assistants.
The squad went directly to Brook

went through brief workout. Sew

Other Journeys in which Helen is
sure she can play are those at Or

other of those titleholders' events,
and at Nashville and Aiken. I'm

or five tournaments during ros

matter what the competition, Helen
is good enough now to win any
tournament she enters. She's so

she was as an amateur.
Helen's headquarters during the

Bunsa Is Lone Casual
AS Catholic Eleven
Ends Hard Drills
Coach Bergman Sure Agile
End Will Be Ready for
Bottle in Sun Bowl

All the rough stuff is over for the
Catholic University gridmen for this
year. To be sure, the Flying Cardi-
nails face what probably will be their
biggest test of the season in the
game New Year Day at Ell Paso
Tex, against the Bulldogs of Arizona
State Teachers at Tempe, but they
will have it fairly easy until game
time a week from today.
The boys wound up hard toll with
scrimmage drill, out of which Joe
Bunsa, 165-pound end and regular
on the c. U. squad, emerged with a
slightly injured back, but Dutch
Bergman, C. U. athletic director and
football coach, predicts Bunsa will
be ready for the Bulldogs next Mon
day. And when a football coach
gloomy people they usually are re-
garding prospects for the next game
predicts a player will be ready, you
have to take his word for it.
I'VE were lucky" said Bergman.
1--WE had only one man hurt even a
little bit. It shows how the boys are
on their toes, however. Bunsa was
going for a pass and was tackled
pretty hard. But he'll be ready for
the game a week from today. You
can bank on it,"
The Cardinals had no practice ses-
sions scheduled for today, but will
take up tomorrow their regular
drills. Tomorrow's final sessions
two of them-will mark their final
serious workout on local soil before
they take off for Ell Paso. The team
and entourage-38 in all-will leave
Union Station Wednesday night at
$50, heading for st. Louis, where
the boys will drill weather per-
mitting) at the stadium of the Uni
versity of st. Louis Thursday.
Ordinarily an injury to Bunsa
would be tough, for the McAdoo
pa boy has been mainstay both
on offense and defense this year.
But with week elapsing before the
Sun Bowl game Bergman is opti-
mistic, which happens to mark a
new high for football coaches. Lou
Shine, the other end, injured three
weeks ago, is coming along all right
and probably will start against Dixie
Howell's boys. So will Rocco Pirro,
the 200-pound climax back from
Solvay, N. y. who holds the high
scoring record for local football
teams this year.

Vordon No. ] Golfer to Mcleod,
Rating Jones Second, Evans
Third Best He Has Seen

| in 1920, almost 20 years ago. And
he wasn't at his peak then. Harry
was at his crest before the World
War. I'd like to see him in there
at his peak against Jones and Hagen
when they were at their best.
But Harry could do everything.
I've heard don't know it to be a
facD that he played an entire sea-
son of tournaments and only was
in the rough once or twice. I know
I've played many round with him
and never seen him play ball from
the high grass. He could drive and
pitch and play irons. But he wasn't
the finest putter I ever saw.
Il guess Jones and Hagen had
the edge on him around the cup.
| When Harry was right-around 80
years ago-it wasn't a question of
who would win. 1t was question of
who would finish second-to Harry.
He was the tops. Harry never hit
the ball hard, until he needed to.
I've seen him many times cuff EN-
down the middle until he came to
par S hole and then stretch cut
and pass the big hitters.
He was that kind. He always
had IS or 20 yards in reserve. Harry
is No. ! in my book. Had he been
at his best just after the war he
would have piled up all kinds OF
records"
Bob Jones isn't far behind in
McLeod's personal rankings. Il
don't want to make any compare
sons between Jones and Vardon,"
said Freddie. They played to-
gether many times and always-I
thought-Harry had a little some
thing on Bob. But Bob was very
great putter. He probably was the
finest competitor of his age from
40 yards in to the pin. He could
chip and putt, and Vardon would
miss couple of 4-footers each
round. Bob never would miss one
that length-in 70 holes.
THAT was the point. Harry
would knock that ball so close you
wouldn't think he could miss. But
he did. Bob wouldn't get as close,
but he'd hole more putts.''
Evans Weak on Green.
"Chick Evans? There was a golfer
who had all that Vardon had-and
had the same putting trouble. I
honestly think that if Chick had
been able to putt like Jones or
Hagen he would have won every
thing so often that he would have
been the worlds greatest. I re-
member out in the West we used
to bet that Chicks second shots
would be within 10 feet of the pin,
from 100 yards. He was the most
accurate iron player I can recall.
And grooved? That Evans won the
1910 western open championship
without ever being in the rough or
in a trap. Yet he was $3.50
putter.
Back of these three Freddie
ranks Hagen, Msc Smith, Francis
Ouimet and Tommy Armour. He
agrees that America has few great
amateur golfers today. Ward is
good" he says, but I don't think
we have the class today we had Is
years ago. After Ward and Fischer
and Goodman there's quick drop
down the ladder"

Playing Golf Is YuIe Gift
For Helen DettWeier

Santa Claus has tossed four or
five presents into Helen Dettweiler's
lap Helen. in case you don't re-
member, is the pulchritudinous blond
who used to smack a golf ball
around Washington. All she won
in a campaign stretching over half
a dozen years was every major title
in this sector.
But last May Helen tissa1fed to
the siren voice of cash. and turned
golf pro. She now ranks as one of
the top feminine professionals of
the land. Just after she turned pro
she won the women's Western cham
pionship. 1t was the last tourna-
ment in which she played, and it
was seven months back.
Now Helen, back home for the
Christmas holidays, is looking ahead
to a New Year present in the form
of four or five tournaments in which,
as a golf pro, she will be eligible to
play. And like the old fire horse,
she is raring to go.
Helen will leave Washington Janu-
airy 2 for Pinehurst, where she is
due to play an exhibition match
three days later. Immediately after
the Pinehurst match she'll hop in
her buzz-buggy and run $50 miles to
Augusta, where she'll work her
game into trim for a tournament
that looms as one of the truly big
ones of the winter season. It will
be the "titleholders' affair, played
at Forest Hills, and Helen, as the
Western champion, will be eligible.
They aren't snuffy about golf pros

Augusta tourney. Babe Didrikson
played in it last year.
This affair will mark the first step
on the comeback road for chunky,
red-headed Patricia Berg. Patty,

ton in July, three weeks before the
1899 antional women's champion
ship, in which she would have been
the defending champion and out

couldn't play, and Betty Jameson,
the Texas golf writer, succeeded her
as champion. Patty hasn't played

By WALTER McCALLUM.

More than 40 years of competitive
golf have passed before the keen
eyes of red-faced Fred Mcleod, the
smart little Columbia Country Club
golf professional. Down through
those years some pretty good golfers
have paraded their stuff before him
He has looked them all over, has
seen them under the fierce fire of
competition, has watched them turn
from scoring machines into human
beings and back again and out of
it he has some pretty definite ideas
on the all-time greats of golf.
"The really great golfers I have
seen haven't been many" said Fred,
dunking the ice in the quaint way
the British have, with plain water,
you know, instead of fizz. How
do you rank emp" I asked.
II rank Harry Vardon away up
at the top" said Mcleod. Il rank
him there because he could do
everything any golfer who ever lived
could do-and more. I rank Bobby
Jones second, and here's one that
may surprise you: I rank Chick
Evans (the Chicago Chick third"
At Crest Before 1914.
To lot of people who have grown
up with the idea that Bobby Jones
is the greatest links champion who
ever lived, it may be a shock to
know that Mcleod, who happens to
be one of the admirers and close
friends of Jones, thinks Vardon was
greater. But Freddie always has
been honest in everything he does
and thinks. He doesn't pull his
punches on or off the course.
II guess to most people playing
golf today Vardon is legendary
figure" said Freddie. Probably not

golf in America saw the great mas

Ion Way to D. G.

A strange species of Alaskan fish

Yukon River will be brought here
for exhibit in the public aquarium
of the Bureau of Fisheries in the
basement of the Commerce Building.
About 100 members of the Dallia

as blackfish. are en- route now across
the United States. They will be
given a breathing spell first at the
Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and
then oe brought here.
Although detailed plans have not

of the fish will be frozen in the tray
of an electric refrigerator for SCI

stay here Several years ago an
other shipment of Alaskan blackfish
was frozen alive for the benefit of
German scientists then on visit to
Washington. Later they were thawed
out in experiments designed to aid
the study of the cold method for the
treatment of cancer.
In Alaska. the only useful purpose
they serve is as food for sled dogs.
They are only about a hands
