Navy Five Nosed Out
By Gettysburg in
Opener, 34.37
By the Associated Press.

~ tflc 6ocoSAatCo 1AGbSs
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 7.-Gettysburg
College Sharpshooters nosed out a
1888 win over Navy In a ding-dong
basketball game that opened the
season for both teams today. Gettys-
burg held a 1916 haf-time lead.
The game ended in a burst of
fireworks when the Midshipmen
dominated play in the early part of
the second half and caught the
Pennsylvanians at 24-24.
The score was tied three times
until Navy went ahead at 1928.
The Gettysburg veterans settled
down when Weems, star guard, shot
q cripple to tie the score and
Hamilton potted another setup to
send the Northerners into a lead that
lasted.
The rangy Gettysburg outfit ex-
hibited much better Workmanship
than the Midshipmen. Time after
time the invaders arched shots
through the twine from center
court.
Navy showed a smooth floor game,
but missed enough close-in shots
in the first half to win half a dozen
ball games.
Gig George Ghesquiere, Navy
center, marked up seven field goals
for top scoring honors.
O'Neill, Gettysburg captain and
center, led his team with II points.

George P. Marshall-who pays
his Washington Redskins to play
football-says the old pro try is
a whole lot harder than the old
college try.
Its simple arithmetic" he
said. "A professional player gets
$50 q game. A college player
gets what averages out to about
$l5-all things taken into con-
sideration. Which would you try
the harder for?"
And then, he added, there's
criticism.
when you're in college and
have q bad day the students
don't take out on you. It wouldn't
be sportsmanship. But that's
different when you're . pro-"
Evening star., 1939-01-08

The professional player gets
criticism from every corner. He's
paid to play and when man
buys a ticket he feels he's earned
the right to kick.
He may think the pro try is
harder, but the pro owner is
grateful-very grateful for the
colleges.
"Why shouldn't be? We take
our players from the colleges
where they have received four
years Of expert coaching. We
don't pay q cent for that"
That's where professional foot
bali has 1t over professional base
ball, he claims. The big leagues
have to subsidize the minors and
pay out lots Of money In farm
systems.
I'VE save that" said Aarshall,

Tar Heels to PIuy
Terps in Benefit

Maryland has been forced to
change the date Of the game it
will play for the benefit Of the
national infantile paralysis fund.
The Terps' opponent in this game
now will be the popular North
Carolina University team at Col
lege Park on January 20.
Maryland first had designated
the contest with Hampden-Syd-
ney on January IA, but the Tigers
were forced to cancel. The Tar
Heels. always one of the best

Clubs Are Unwilling
To Give Up Links
For Journeys
Great Training Grounds
For Young Stars Lost
With Events Spurned

Invitation golf tournaments are
on the way out around Washington
The days back in the so-called
golden era" of sport, when the
country clubs around the Capital
Wed in a mad scramble for tourna-
ment dates, and the tournament
schedule ran without a break from
early May until we'll into July. have
gone, probably never to appear
again.
Judged from the way the 1889
schedule for the men golfers shapes
UP, only two mug-hunting jam
borees of the invitation type will be
staged around the Capital next year
Chevy Chase and Manor are the
only clubs which will come into the
invitation tourney fold. And Chevy
Chase Undoubtedly again will charge
an entry fee of IS, as has been the
case for the last three years. Manor
never has charged an entry fee for
its tournaments.
Journeys Not Favored.
"I find there isn't much sentiment
In favor of invitation tournaments
any more" said President Ralph S.
Fowler of the District Golf Associa-
ton, the organization which sane
tions tournament dates in this ter
ritory. More and more the clubs
are unwilling to give up their
courses for almost week for these
affairs. And personally I am In
favor of the entry fee system.
There's no reason why any club
should take the rap for a lot OF
money, and every reason why a
modest entry fee should spread the
cost of such tournament among
the competitors. We won't know
definitely just how many invitation
affairs will be held around Wash
ington next year until just before
our annual meeting in February,
but 1t looks as if there won't be
many. Washington is not going to
hold one. and I don't think any
other club in addition to Chevy
Chase and Manor will stage EN-"
For years clubs like Columbia,
Congressional and Indian Spring,
all Of which used to put on ex-
travagant and popular Journeys,
haven't held such affairs. Ten years
ago, so crowded was the tourna-
ment calendar, that a golf1ng gent
with lots of time could play tour
nament a week for seven or eight
straight weeks without travelling
more than 20 miles away from the
White House.
Whoopee Is Missed.
And in addition there were a
couple of Baltimore Journeys we'll
patronized by Washington divot-
fingers. It was the age of big
tournament dinners, lot of
whoopee-and some good golf af-
fairs. There hasn't been tourna-
ment dinner held in good many
years. And there will be plenty of
open dates for golf tournaments in
1899, judged from the way the
schedule now is shaping up.
Big golf tournaments undoubtedly
are the testing and training grounds
of future stars, and with the invi-
tation event situation as it is around
the Capital 1t makes you wonder
where the winners of future years
will get the chance to spread their
wings
But there will be plenty of cham
pionship competition next year. The
Mid-Atlantic will come back to
Washington and Chevy Chase in
June: the Maryland State cham
pionship will be played at Balti-
more. All these affairs will be run
OF during two-month period. Any
lad with links ambitions will have
his fill Of competition.

Colchester Has "War"

On land and sea the Battle Of Toll
chester was waged last Sunday and
to a lesser extent continues to pop
and sputter as both sides grid for a
battle to the finish.
The background for the Tolches-
ter tiff is this: When the season
opened this year, George Debnam,
young Kent farmer, opened a Dairy
Bar on his property opposite the
auto entrance to the Rochester
Park and has been doing a good
business with his dairy products,
soft drinks and sandwiches. Last
week the Colchester Company closed
the gate which had been used for
years and opened new one further
up the road.
Comes the battle. On Sunday a
motorboat circled the colchester
steamer as it approached the wharf,
bearing signs telling of the wares
offered at the Dairy Bar. A car bear
ing similar signs paraded the high
way that approaches the resort and
today the proprietor of the Dairy
Bar is preparing to move his stand
opposite a point midway between the
old gate and the new one.
The battle affords AN interesting
sidelight to the summer season at
the Kent resort, which is said to be
enjoying one of the best years in
a long time.
