In '38 PIoy; Best Ever,
Saws Coach Waters
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

It smacks of another ortiz is
faster than johnson" story. but the
Washington Redskins today an
nounced that they had signed a
rookie recommended as better
passer than Slingin' Sam Baugh or
Benny Friedman.
The rookie is J. Lyndol Warren
fresh from John Stetson College in
Florida, and the recommendation
comes from one of the original Red
skins of 1929 and now a Florida
high school football coach, Dale
muddy Waters.
Waters, an all-Southern tackle
for the University of Florida
decade ago, wrote the Redskins:
I've seen Baugh and I've seen
Friedman, and in my estimation
Warren tops EN- BOTH Without
doubt he's the greatest. You can't
60 wrong in signing him"
Tops Leagues Records.
Unless figures suddenly have
started lying, Warren will report
to the Redskins with a passing per-
centage 20 per cent better than
Baugh's best and 18 per cent better
than the National Leagues in
dividual record. For last year J..
Lyndol, or ''Lyn," as he is known
down South, completed a total of
AS passes for an amazing average
: of 68 per cent. In his record
setting year Ed Danowski of the
New York Giants averaged only so
per cent.
Ex-Redskin Waters reports that
quite naturally, Warren was rated
with the best paSsers of Dixie last
year and the chief reason his record
wasn't better known is that he
played with a small college. But
it'll stand up Waters haStens to
add.
Warren Durable Player.
Statistics also reveal that Warren
played so minutes of every big game
last fall and that he is better than
an average punter. His kicks were
said to average 40 yards. His
kicking passing ability earned him
q berth on the all-State team.
Accompanying his signed contract
was a letter from Warren, giving his
records
Danowski and Baugh are the only
two passers in National League his
tory who ever have averaged 40 per
cent or better and the latter's college
record wasn't much better than that

Too much thinking is dynamite in
golf. You can't think too much
about the mechanics of the game
and play it we'll, so Prof. George
Diffenbaugh of the KenWood Diffen-
baughs, claims.
One of the better teachers of golf
around town, diminutive George,
who happens to be one of the long
est sluggers of a golf ball you could
find in many days brassie work,
has some pretty well-formed ideas
on mentality in golf and why it
should and should not be used.
Give a kid good swing and let
him alone" says Diffenbaugh. Don't
encourage him to think too much
about the swing, and for the luva
Mike don't let him start expert
menting and attempting to copy
other golfers. Let him work out his
own swing and hold it. They GO
bad when they start fooling with a
natural swing"

Barnett's S Golf Hall
OF Fame LIST Has
McDermott First
Ouimet, Evans, Hagen and
Jones Also Are Picked
By Him and Mcleod

Two of Washington veteran golf
professionals have definite ideas on
the men whose names should be i'm
mortalized in the proposed golf hall
of fame. And nowhere in the list
outlined by Fred Mcleod of Colum-
bia. and Bob Barnett of Chevy
Chase, both of whom have been
knocking golf balls around for quite
a few years, do you find Ralph Gull
dahl, Sam Snead or Byron Nelson.
the latter the present national open
champ, mentioned
of course, winning should be
considered" says Barnett. ANY
man who can win is a great player
But, above the mere matter of
winning, think a man should have
contributed something to the game. "
First on Barnett's list is sur
prise. It's Johnny McDermott, the
Philadelphia boy, who won two open
championships back in 1911 and
1912. He was the very first home
bred American to win the open
championship and break the doni-
nance of the Scots and the English
And he won two in row.
Give Ouimet High Place.
Bob and Freddie both agree that
Francis Oulmet. the Boston simon
pure who won the open champion
ship in 1918, should have place
high up on the roll Francis was
the first amateur to win. and in
doing it he licked Vardon and Ray
In their time these two Britishers
were the Joe Louis and Don Bulge
of golf rolled into one
And both local pros agree that
Chick Evans of Chicago should have
spot in tie hall of fame. Almost
as one man they shout: Didn't
Chick become the first amateur to
win the open and amateur cham
plonships in one year? And didn't
ne set a record of 286 in the open
that stood for 20 years?"
But how about Hagen and Bobby
Jones, two all-time greats whose
names couldn't be left off any list?
Those fellows are naturals. You
couldn't leave 'em off" say Freddie
and Bob. Walter won two Ameri-
can Opens and three British Opens
But above that he was the biggest
figure in pro golf. He won the P
G. A. five times, and he was the
man who led the pros out of the
in
Bobby, real friend of the pro golf
er, won 13 major championship in
8 years. Nine of them were national
open titles. He had the finest rec
ord OF any golfer of our generation.
Mcleod Likes Anderson.
But Fred Mcleod goes away back
and digs up Willie Anderson. Tc
most golfers of today Willie Ander-
son is a legendary figure, a relic OF
the days before golf became bic
time, But in his day he was as
great as Man O. War. Willie wor
the Open championship thrice in 9
row, and won it four out of five
starts. Any way you turn it's q
tough job to list the greats ot
golf, and still hold it down to a rea.
sonable number.
How about Lawson Little, for ex.
ample, who won both the American
and British Amateur championship.
