PaHerson's PASSING
Gets West Decision
Over East's Stars
Two by Baylor Boy Good
For Scores-GoIdberg,
Botturi Also PIoy'
BY the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-A
heavy Western team with an i'm
pregnable forward wall and an effec-
tive passing attack gave its all-star
Eastern opponent a 14-to-0 drubbing
in the 14th annual Shrine charity
football game here yesterday.
The Western outfit tossed passes
all over the field. Two of them, one
in the second quarter and another
in the fourth, were good for scores.
The others were so close they kept
the 10000 fans who jammed Kezar
Stadium in a continual dither.
Coughlan Goes Across.
Both scoring plays were manipu-
lated by Bill Patterson of Baylor
University and Jim Coughlan Of
Santa Clara. Patterson did the
pitching and Coughlan the catching.
The first touchdown in the second
quarter came after Patterson tossed
one nearly half the distance of the
field to Coughlan, who went over.
In the fourth quarter Patterson
heaved one from the East's 25-yard
line to Coughlan for the final touch
down. On the previous play Pat
terson had galloped 80 yards with
the ball after taking a lateral from
AL Braga of the University of San
Francisco.
Stars Fail to Shine.
The two lads who were expected
to be the stars of the game-Mar-
shall Goldberg of Pittsburgh on the
East team and Vic Bottari of the
University of California on the West
team-also played.

Even though he now has charge
of all the municipal golf facilities
around the National Capital-some-
thing no single individual or group
ever has had since golf became q
major sport in the public parks
Severine G. Leoffler, the chubby
little public links czar, would like to
expand his golf empire. He isn't
satisfied with the courses he now
has, even though he will inaugurate
shortly a considerable rebuilding
program at three of the more pre-
tentious layouts which he will con-
troll for a 5-year period.
It's a commentary on the driving
power of the man and his Wiling
ness to take chances to hear a fell
low with the savvy of Eddie Conlin
of New York who has been around
golf and sports for a lot of years
say of Leofler: Seth would be a
rich man If he didn't take so many
flyers on bad ones" Maybe Eddie
referred to the former Leoffler links
enterprises in Philadelphia and
Richmond.
Golf Cheap but Good.
But whatever the case, Leoffler has
done all right with his golf VEN
lures in the National Capital. He
has at one and the same time given
Washington better and cheaper
public links golf than you get in al
most any city. To be sure, there
isn't public golf course in or out
of Washington within = reasonable
radius of the White House to COM
pare in excellence with the very fine
Mount Pleasant course in Baltimore
There never may be, but if Leofaer
has his way he would have one very
fine public course. Nor Is it q dream
of recent years with the public links
czar. Ten years back, when golf
was in the middle of tremendous
boom. he wanted fine public course

A new contract which will seal

craps of Coach Joe Dreifus Of the
Heurich Brewers today as Wash
ington's American Basket Ball
League entry started preparations
for its clash with the 1eague-leading
Philadelphia Sphas here next Sun

Although final action on Dreifus'
status has been delayed until after
that game, the Brewers surprising
1924 victory over the lofty Brook
lyn Visitations yesterday gave them
an even break in four games under
Dreifus and made it likely that
he would be retained.
Appearing like a different team
from the one which had lost to
the Kingston Colonials the previous
afternoon, the Brewers staged
second d-period rally yesterday which
overcame a first-period advantage
of the visitors and gave them q
lead which stood up for the balance
of the game. The Visitations had
gotten off to a 1911 lead during
the first IS minutes of play, but

Brewers a 24-19 advantage at the

Flighty took the first two heats,

in the next two she couldn't beat
her time and was content with two
seconds. Sizzle and Lucky Duck
split each a first position, the
Gaillards winning the last heat by
one of the widest margins of the
series.
The Vertigo could only claim first
honors for consistency, placing
fourth four times in a row. A TO-

Leofher, Turning in Swell
Job as Public Links Boss,
Eager to Branch Out

half or more: a course on the pay
as-you-play basis, but one with all
the facilities and excellence of one
of the best at the private clubs. So
far that dream hasn't been realized,
although the Annapolis Roads
course, which Leofher also operates,
is one of the better links layouts in
this territory.
On comparatively cheap playing
rates he has managed to pay the
Government a handsome rental each
year for the courses which he oper-
ates, and while he may not have
become wealthy he has been able
to keep the wolf from the Leoner
kitchen. You won't find often any
where In the land public links golf
at the week day rate of Is cents for
8 holes and Is cents for 18, and week
end rates of Is and so cents, on
courses which compare in all
around good golf as those under the
Leoffler operating regime.
Leoffler Always Generous.
Through the years Leof1er has
been a consistent supporter of
championship teams from WASH
ington. Back in 1923 he obtained
the national public links title tour
ney, won that year by Dick Walsh Of
New York. Ever since that time he
has dug down into his pocket and
sent teams of four men to the scene
Of the national tourney. Only once
has he come up with q potential
winner. That was back in 1886 when
Claude Rippy went to the final at
Bethpage State Park on Long Is
land. But failure doesn't daunt
Leofler. He'll keep on sending
teams to the national as long as the
money holds out.
It wouldn't be any great surprise
some day to see him branch out on
bigger scale, somewhere in Mary
land, with . course for the pay-as-
they-play golfers far better than
anything he has now.i

Outlook Is Brighter
Conference Late To-day May Bring Action By Town
Committee Attempt to Name Reeves New Chair
man to Be Opposed; Harrington Wins Support

Chances of settlement of the dis
pute between the Democratic town
committee and the Democratic reor-
ganization group were considered
comparatively bright this afternoon,
as conference committees repre-
senting both groups prepared for a
meeting early this evening. The
town committee is scheduled to hold
a meeting tonight, and may take ac-
ton II an agreement Is reached at
the earlier conference.
One obstacle to peace was the be-
lief among town committee members
that Il the committee is reorgan-
lied, State Chairman j. Francis
Smith would seek to install Attor-
ney Francis T. Reeves, former mayor
and now secretary of the Scovill
Mfg. Co., as town chairman. Town
committee members were planning
unalterable opposition to any such
step being even considered.
Meantime, the Young Democratic
club announced it would enter a
primary fight if necessary, with VIII
liam T. Harrington as its candidate
for the mayoralty nomination. Back
ers of Senator George T. Culhane
were getting ready for primary,
and it was believed that William j.
Dunphy, former police and fire COM
missioner, might also enter the race.
Other possible candidates were also
being mentioned.
The primary fight possibilities,
however, are to a great extent de-
pendent on the outcome of the ne
gotiations toward reorganization.
A majority of the town commit
tee members are willing to resign
but the hitch thus far. has been the
method of selecting their successors.
A compromise on this point OF dis
pute Is considered possible.
Some progress toward an agree
ment was reported made at a con-
ference of the two committees last
night. The additional meeting to-
day was scheduled in view of the

The job now is held by Thomas ].
Shea, Middletown, former president

Shea was appointed two years ago

His commission expires at the end

appointment must be made by the
governor this month.

the governor to succeed Shea, it was
reported. Fitzgerald. a former de-

New Deal congressman, has report

Due to Shea's influence in the fed
