CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The Chicago
Bears, rolling along toward the pro
football heights on a devastating
ground attack and dangerous aerial
game, have made a believer out Of
Curly Lambeau, too.
Lambeau, after watching the
Bears twice defeat his Green Bay
eleven. is ready to join other experts
in acclaiming the Chicago machine
as one of the smoothest in recent
years.
THE Bears are the finest team We
have met in a long time" Curly
says, "and they got that way chiefly
through spirit. They are exception
ally well coached, have a splendid
personnel and superb offense, but
all these essentials to greatness
would not constitute an insurmount-
able obstacle to opponents if they
didn't have the spirit.
They beat us on spirit at Green
Bay and they did it again Sunday
because they want to win and are
all willing to win the hard way.

Aside from annexing the most

At last the 20-odd men who have
been getting up at dawn for long
stretch of years to play golf at Rock
Creek Park have something for
which to compete.
You'll probably guess this group
of men are the oily Boids" of Rock
Greek Park, the mixed-up group of
scientists, business and professional
men who find themselves unable to
play in the afternoon, and wanting
their daily exercise, get out around
sunup TO play the game. And you'll
be right. They started it is years
ago and they've been at it ever
since. Nowadays, with shorter days,
they don't get up much before 5:45.
They have been known to get up at
am Their whole ambition seems
! to be to beat the sun.
Papa Leoff1er, concessionnaire of
the public links, who doesn't play
golf himself, and never thrilled TO
the sweet feel of a well-hit iron
shot, thinks the oily Boids" de-
serve a trophy. He has given one,
and it hangs on the wall of the Rock
Greek clubhouse now, awaiting the
first tourney of the sun dodgers for
the Leoffler trophy. They'll play it
right away.
Course Not Crowded.
There's one thing certain. The
oily Boids" are not bothered by a
crowded course so early in the morn
ing, as are those who play in the
afternoon. They play their golf and
their tournaments in the discreet
silence of dawn, bothered only by
the piping of birds. and perhaps the
dew on the grass. 1t has been frost
lately, rather than dew, but that
doesn't stop these intrepid gents.
Here are the men who play in those
early morning groups and who will
compete for the Leoffier trophy: Dr.
w. P. White, Sam Del Vecchio, Dr.
H. S. Brodie, DR.. w. F. Colliton, P. B
Eaton, A. 2. Thomas, German

Mason, Thomas j. Meaney, Phillip
Wagshall, Joseph Fields, Sam Smith
Walter Maher, John Welch, and on
occasion such good golfers as Andy
Oliveri and Volney Burnett.
Some of these men are well-known
scientists. Washington. of course, is
full of men who work for the Gov
ernment for a mere pittance COM
pared to what they could earn in
private employ. The difference is
that if some Of these men worked in
private employ they could have time
off to play in the afternoon, and
wouldn't have to get up at dawn fol
exercise. But that also would rot
them of the fun of being Oily

Great Putters Made

Smith Declares
Style More Than Touch
Counts on Greens, Theory
Of Veteran Pro

Good putting in golf, claims Hor-
ton Smith. is not as much matter
of touch and feel on any given day
as it is of finding the right style
and sticking to it. Horton happens
to be one gent in the game who is
qualified to speak on putting. The
rest of the boys may have BRAIN
storms on the green's, but Horton
keeps on rolling. the best putter in
the pro ranks. Ask any pro who is
the best. The answer is universal.
It's tall. methodical Mr.. H. Smith.
Horton. as you might guess, has
some pretty definite ideas on put
ting. We were watching Chick
Evans, the aging Chicagoan who
won the open and amateur cham
pionships back in 1916, and the
amateur again in 1920. IF that
fellow had been able to putt" we
remarked. How great he would
have been. Those iron shots were
the greatest, ETC.
Beaten by Fear on Green.
yeah, he was a great player"
said Horton. But 1 always felt
that Chick didn't have quite the
right slant on putting. I wouldn't
call Chick mental coward, in any
sense of the word, but 1 have felt
for years that if he had approached
his putting crises with determi-
nation to beat his own fear, he would
have been good putter.
For I'm convinced that fear Is
the thing that licked Chick in those
years when he was the finest man
from tee to green in the world; and
one of the worst on the green.
Bobby Jones didn't start as a
great putter. He had his troubles
in his early years. But he found
the stance and the stroke, and by
hard work and determination he
forced himself to stick to his own
style until he became one of the

CIosh TO Be Terrific

This strictly is true of Stanford

happen to Tennessee from now on
barring a hidden mine. Nothing
will happen to Boston College ol
Georgetown until they meet in Bos-
ton fortnight further on. The
crash there will be terrific.

ham have the right of way toward
one Of the big bowls looking for a
worthy tenant. After all, this may
be a cold winter, where the call OF
the sun may sound a cheerful note
to many of our earnest athletes who
are not held forcibly at home.
The big argument already is be-
ginning to boil around the seasons
best team. The Midwest will swing
in solidly back of the Minnesota
Michigan winner when this game
ends Saturday night. The South
will swing in back of Tennessee, good
enough to beat Duke and Alabama,
who have proved their strength in
other games.
If Texas A. and NJ can ride
through remaining hard schedule
you'll hear war cries from the Rio
Grande that will shake loose the
cottonwood trees. You'll hear the
same uproar from Stanford parti-
sans if Stanford can slip by the
Washington net.
I can add, also, that you'll hear
plenty from those supporting the
winner of the Boston College
