or not Burt Shipley's team can re-

George Washington meets

Conference. Roanoke had hard
time of it, defeating the Generals

Victory for the HoyaS of George
town tonight is exceedingly doubt
full as they stack up against the
best defensive team in the East
and Georgetown is anything but
powerful offensive club. The

the local quintet, and a triumph
tonight will be an agreeable sur

Open Tournaments

''Why not revise the defini-
ton of an amateur and give
these fine young players a
chance toward the development
OF golf in this country? 1t is
a great name but why make it
suffer in the hands of a lot of
Second-string players who are
satisfied if they break 90?
There are two solutions to
this molehill that is fast becom-
ing mountain. Either the anna
teur restrictions should be eased
considerably or make every
women's tournament open to
pros and amateurs alike. After
all, the best women'S golf in this
country is being played by anna
teurS. They have given their
best. Why not give the girls a
break?"
MISS CUTTINGS first solu-
ton would place the U. S. G.. A.
in the position of admitted in
tellectual dishonesty. The sec
ond solution would still find
few women amateurs, no matter
how broke. refusing to turn pro,
unless every women'S tourna-
ment in the U. S. were opened
to pros, an unlikely change.
"Unsuccessful Pros"
There is yet a third solution
which time itself will bring
about eventually, I think. BY
easy stages in the past 20 years
the line between pro and anna
teur has steadily become less
clear. One Of these days sports
mentors will wake up and find
that there is no difference at
all. If trey want to make their
living at it those who excel in
sports which draw large gal
lerieS will get paid for their per
formance, while those who just
aren't good enough will be what
you might call unsuccessful
pros" Sad. but true.

perquisites' endangere d the
players amateur standing.
In the women's division of
golf a situation now exists
which is parallel to that which
the U. S. Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton has faced for years. Plainly.
when is an amateur not an anna
teur? 1t is no secret that when
big-name tennis stars compete
in a tennis tournament like last
years Baltimore Country Club
affair, the host club foots the
bills, paying their travelling ex-
penses and putting them up
during their stay. The big
names of tennis don't seem to
lose their amateur standing.

Broke

One of the members of the
1898 Curtis Cup squad. MISS
CHARLOTTE GLUTTING, was
sufficiently exercised by the
q. S. G. AS letter to break into
print about it in the Pinehurst
Advocate. Said MISS GLUT-
TING:
For some unknown reason
the girls Of this country who
keep golf in the headlines are on
the thin side, financially speak
ing. Five of the six players on
the American team in 1888 are
so broke that it is real strug-
gle for them to play golf at all.
"Caddies, equipment, hotel
bills and travelling expenses
have to be paid for. We spend
every cent we can lay our hands
on to 60 to Florida, for instance.
Florida gets plenty of publicity
out of it. 1t is good for golf to
have fine players promoting in
terest in one of the greatest
games there is.
Take the leaders names out
Of golf and what have you got?
A lot Of A and B country club
teams whose combined scores
would sound like the European
war debt.

Feu Women Pros

In mems golf, amateur and
professional standing has long
since been comparatively clearly
defined, owing to the practice OF
top pros being we'll supplied with
cash by the golfing manufac-
turers whom they represent.
Generally speaking, the U. S. g..
A. has little difficulty in telling
the pros from the amateurs in
the mems division.
The ranks of women pros,
however, are extremely thin.
But, nevertheless train fare to
and from tournaments. hotel
bills and such mount up. For
the fair State of Florida and the
purpose of getting their hotel
names in the nations press, few
Southern resorts would hesitate
to foot the bills of big-name
women players.
A warning from the U. S. G..
A., if it could be made to stick,
would have the harmful effect
of cutting down the field of win
ter tournament players among
the women to a mere handful.
AS it is, one of the big" South
ern tournaments recently drew
only dozen competitors.

THREE WALLS

Three walls figure in every days war news. They
are the Maginot wall of France the Siegfred wall of
Germany and the wall of censorship If, as is gen.
orally expected, the Maginot and Siegfried barriers
mghtier than any Of the permanent Notifications
of the western front Is years it is also rapidly be-
coming apparent that the wall of censorship is SINH
ary impregnabe. No news is coming from any of
the bellgerent nations which the authorities do not
wish to be disseminated
Yet there is obviously substantial truth in the
concise but unlumnating phrase used by the French
office in announcing current military happenings
Operations the general staff reports, developing
normally"
This means in the west that the advances into
German territory are not yet real attacks Rather
they are reconnoiterng jockeyng for position which
may or may not be the prelude for grand scale Of

German territory being penetrated must be set the
knowledge that both the Segfried and Maginot bar

visualizes military maneuvers but complicated
systems much 20 to Is miles deep. In such
territory, any major operation is matter of weeks
and months rather than days
1t is significant however, that the French are
doing the advancing in this sector This is in keeping
with the French military philosophy always to at
tack" No less does it shape with the expected Ger
policy OF holding defenSlVely IN the west While
conquering Poland by swift blows So the French are
correct in announcing that matters developing

Events in Poland following a similar pattern.
While Berns claims of easy conquest subject to
considerable discount, it is plain that the German
troops advancing with great rapidity the shell

ing the use of mechanical units Gen Mud" rated
Poands strongest ally, has since been moblized.
Meanwhile the Poles must necessarily defensive
tactics. If they withdraw without capture or
destruction of important units of their forces they
will be fortunate Yet the reported plans of the
government to move from Warsaw by no means
an indication that the Polish is in dire peril.
In spite of the German claims it is probable that
Polish resistance has been somewhat SITTER than
Berlin had expected.
What is happening behind the Siegfried line as
we'll in front OF it. is likely to have vital bearing
upon the events of the coming months. Can Hitler
count upon a docle and loyal nation once the mass
of the German people realize that the day of blood
less Nazi victories is over?
Reports of civil disorders in Cologne. Dusseldorf
and Essen suggested possible answer to this ques-
ton Yet these reports came from French sources
They may easily be born of wishful thinking
However they give some support to the other rumors

New Yorks World Fair is a success-too much
of a success There has never been an event OF the
kind that drew so much enthusiastic comment SO
little adverse criticism. Everybody who can go to the
Fair has been there is going.
And yet the Fair almost certainly will end its first
season with a deficit of S15000000. Its operating
expenses come to S6605000 leaving net operating
income of $4 O0O
But the Fair still nearly half of S3,50000C
bank oan it has paid only s2,31499O toward retire
ment of its 995 900 bonds and has unpaid bills,
including contractors bills, of $4113000.
There have been 13,026,285 paid admissions-more
people than ever attended worlds fair in the same
length of time BY the end of this attendance
probably will reach 240000O0 But even that enor-
nous figure will not be enough.
1t has just been revealed that Fair authorities
based their expenditures estimated attendance
of 100000 this year. Since there never was any
thing previously to compare with the New York Fair
it scarcely surprising that any estimate of attendance
would be inaccurate.
The plain truth is that there just aren't enough
people for so big a fair.
Over-optimism and too much emphasis big
mistakes, but they typical American mis-
takes and if they gave the nation the spectacle now
showing at Flushing Meadows it would be ungrateful
to dwell too much them.
Perhaps New York will reap in good will more
than the Fair will cost in dollars That the idea
of earlier fairs-and it may be sound one.

Alaska and World War Status
Fairbanks News Miner

What of Alaskas position relative to the world
war now opening with its far sweeping effect
This question is uppermost in minds OF every
resident Alaskan or anyone having to do with Alaska
First OF all are the questions of defense and ter
ritory and the welfare of her industries.
1t is patent that before the territory SO
much in need of every possible means of defense-and
by this token the and navy projects for the pur-
pose should be speeded to completion as rapidly as
possible It's no time to hesitate or lag.
If anything the appropriations for army and naval
bases should be increased at the first opportunity and
the country made mpregnabe at the earliest possible
date
Should America become involved there is no tell
ing where enemy forces may strike and it would be
nothing short of folly to leave the largest and most
vulnerable territorial possession of America exposed
to attack and stepping stone to continental America
Doubtless the Administration and the high com.
mand of the army and navy services appreciate these
facts Aaskans giving the matter the merest thought
appreciate them. Staunch support of every Alaskan
factor individually and collectively, at this critica
time is vital and will go far in making doubly sure
the security of Alaska and the safeguarding of th
gateway to the heart of the continent.
