Make Place
For Him in
Sweep Play
New Division Will
Nuke Debut
Sunday Morn

The hard-working golfer with
the high handicap can pack up
now and, If he chooses. feel a bit
smug. after what the Tacoma Golf
association has done.
II amounts TO this: The as
ISOLATION, after much discus
sion among its members, has
decided TO create a fourth d.
vision for its monthly sweep
stakes, permitting golfers with
handicaps from 20 to SO TO
take part.
In the second sweepstakes Of the
year Sunday at Meadow Park, the
new division of golfers will par
ticipate for the first time in this
competition. Upward of so players
are expected to be added to the
number of those who usually vie
in the event. The home club has
donated six golf balls as prizes for
the newcomers.
Schedule Revamped
Meanwhile, the schedule for the
E punchbowl has been revamped.
Chester Corey, president of the
association, explains that the en-
try of Linden into the event has
made it necessary for one of the
seven clubs which compose the as
ISOLATION to draw a bye. This
week it will be Allenmore. The
parings for other teams follow:
Linden vs.. Broolxdale, Fir
crest VS.. Falkland, and High
land VS.. Meadow Park.
Linden has returned to the fam
lily after several years absence.
With the start of another season,
the outlook on golf is encouraging.
Interest is on the upswing,"
said Corey. Golf is rapidly re-
turning to favor after having been
in the doldrums during the de-
preston"
As an example of the renewed
interest, Corey drew attention TO
the sweepstakes held last month
at Allenmore, which attracted an
Unexpectedly large field.

Directors OF , Loop Adopt
Schedule Of 140 Games; Sea-
son To Open On April II

CHARLOTTE, Jan. 14-R-The
Piedmont league directors decided
today to continue the Shaughnessy
playoffs, and ordered the circuits
president, Ralph K. Daughton Of
Norfolk, Va, to confer with Judge
William G. Branham, head of the
minors, about a plan constitutional
iy to permit them.
Some plan which would permit
bonuses to be paid the players will
be sought. 1t was recently ruled by
Bramham that the playoffs as held
in the past, with players paid
bonuses, were not permitted by the
leagues constitution. The directors
believe the playoff system gives an
incentive" to the players and in.
creases the interest of fans.
1t was agreed that an amendment
to the league constitution would be
necessary to allow the playoffs and
bonuses.
A schedule was adopted calling for

Heather Settles In Three-Way
Tie For Second Place
After Hectic Round
BY RUSS NEWLAND

OAKLAND, Calf, Jan. 14.-(F-
Cool, calculating and grooming jim
my Demaret, the golfing pride OF
Houston, Tex, won the $1,000 Oak
land medal play open today with a
stretch drive ride on par for a r.
hole total of 281.
The windup of the fourth annual
Oakland open was tinged with dra-
ma, some comedy and the unusual
picture of the established favorite
and leader for SO holes, Clayton
Heather, of Linville, N. c., emulatins
Tarzan in a tree climbing stunt.
If Heafner's ball hadn't lodged in
the branches of a tree on the 18th
hole, the story Of the victory might
have been different.
The big ex-candymaker started the
fourth round with a two stroke
bulge on the field. Nine holes later
he still held the margin. Demaret,
plugging along with a game equal
ing that of Heather and in the same
threesome with him, hadn't been
able to improve his position. KY
Laffoon of Chicago, tied with Dema-
ret at I'll, two shots back of Heaf'
ner, fell by the wayside in the out
going nine, taking a SO.
Most of the thrills were crammed
in the final nine holes. Demaret
and Heather each had made the
turn in "a, one under par for the
Sequoyah curse.
They halved the tenth and eleventh
in pars. The twelfth provided the
setting for an amazing turn in af.
fairs. Heafner's ball stayed up in a
tree. He started up after it. The
ball fell out. Heather popped it
over the green. Then he missed a
four inch putt to take a 5 on the
lat yard hole. The ball was so near
the cup he merely swiped at it with
his puttter-and missed the opening.
Demaret scored a par 8.
They pared the 18th and Heather
went stroke ahead with a par 8
on the 14th.
After pars on the 18th, Demaret
| gained two shots and the lead on the
next hole. He took a par 5 and
Heather posted a Z after hitting one
ball into the lake. The last two were
halved in pars.
Demaret rode into a $1,000 purse.
Heather settled into a three way tie
for second with Horton Smith, Oak
Park, Ill, and Ben Hogan, of White
Plains, N. Y, at PSI. They each
won $583.33.

COOKE EXPECTS
TO BEAT RIGGS
Portland Net Star Praises
Leading Tennis Player But
Has His Own Methods

ORLANDO, Fla, Jan. 14.-GP-
Elwood Cooke is determined to car
ry some of the major tennis honors
back home to Portland, Ore, but
believes it will take superior tennis
intelligence" to dethrone Bobby
Riggs, present ruler of the amateur
ranks.
you can't beat Riggs at his own
game" declared Cooke, speaking
from experience. He'll outsteady
any player in the world, forcing you
into errors"
Riggs can be beaten. He has lost
three times since he started his cur
rent swing around the winter net
circuit-by Don Mcneil of Kansas
City at New Orleans, by Bryan M.
(Bitsy) Grant of Atlanta in Tampa
last week, and by Henry Prusoff of
Seattle, WASH, here yesterday. But
fellow contestants do not take the
losses seriously.
Riggs has a marvellous tempera-
ment and good strokes" explained
Cooke, who. recalled how the Chica-
goan has been beaten before in minor
engagements, only to come through
when a major title was at stake.
But more important than that he
reacts to situations faster than any
other tennis player in the world TO-
Gay. If Riggs were not supreme
in tennis, he would be one of the
worlds greatest athletes in what
ever sport he chose to adopt"
Cooke, ranked sixth nationally. is
confident, however, that he can
eventually beat the champion,
II can cover just as much court
and I think that I will be able TO
beat him by making him play my
own game instead of his" he said.
Defeated by Riggs in the finals of
the singles at Wimbledon last july,
Cooke has been working to combine
crafty tennis with a formidable
game. He hopes his plan will paw.
off when he opens his CAMPAIGN on
the eastern grass courts.

HIT
COMEBACK TRAIL
Kern. New Coach At West
Virginia, Has Promising
Crop Of S%ophomores

MORGANTOWN, W. Va, Jan. IA
-R-Little West Virginia univer'
sity, one : time national grsdiron
power, hit the comeback trail today
with the outstanding coach of 1888
and the best football material in
years.
Answering student and alumni
clamoring for winning teams, uni
versity board of governors ycster'
day named Bill Kern, late Of Car.
negie Tech, head football coach.
He succeeds DR.. Marshall (Sleepy)
Glenn, who quit to take up medical
practice.
Terms Of Kern's agreement were
not disclosed but it was under.
stood he would get $1,000 a year for
three years.
A former assistant to Jock"
Sutherland at Pitt, Kern went
across Schenley park to Tech in
1887. The following year he guided
the Tartans to the mythical eastern
championship and was named the
outstanding coach of 1898. Last sea-
son, however, his Tartans slipped
badly, dropping their last five
games.
At West Virginia, where only
5000 students are enrolled, Kern
will take over direction Of a fresh.
man outfit which cleaned up on
everything it faced. The yearl;ngs
galloped over Pitt, Duquesne and
Carnegie freshmen, among others.
From last seasons regulars, Kern
will get the nucleus of a fine squad,
led by Woodworking Charley Hook
enberry, a standout halfback and a
fine kicker.
Not since the 1920's, when DR..
Clarence Spears coached the Noun
taineers in what is referred to here
as the golden age" of Morgantown
football, has West Virginia been
reckoned a major football power.
The 1889 record showed six de-
feats, one tie and two victories
both against very minor opposition.
In 1888, with most Of the team that
went to the Sun Bowl a year ear.
lier on hand, prospects looked
bright, but the book showed five
losses and a tie.
It's up to Kern and the sopho.
mores now.
