Keen Appetite Threat
To Links Success
Oliver Enjoys

Ed divers increasing pOunddge
is going to knock him out of the TOP
rungs of the links ladder of skill
unless Ed cuts down on his vittles
and changes his swing to conform to
a simmer silhouette. Or SO Gene
Sarazen claims
Oliver happens to be one of the
best pro golfers in the land. He
won the pro-pro at Pinehurst with
Clayton Heafner as partner, and
he tied for second in the individual
affair. Ed also might have won
the National Open at Cleveland last
June had he been little more care
full about starting arrangements
He turned in a score that tied that
of Lawson Little and Sarazen and
was disqualified for beating the
starting gun.
Long Game Loses Yards.
Gene travelled over lengthy
exhibition tour with Oliver during
the summer. And Gene happens
to have great admiration for Eds
ability as a golfer. That fellow
must cut down on his eating" said
Gene when we first started play
ing exhibitions Ed was hitting that
ball as straight as string. Later
he began fading all his shots. 1t
cut lot of yards off his long game,
but when he began fading the short
ones, from the 6 iron down to the
niblick. gave up.
"It all came about, I think, be-
cause Ed was getting too big around
the tummy and the chest to pivot
and swing his arms And he's going
to get bigger unless he cuts down on
those 3-inch steaks"
Ed himself laughed about it.
Yeah, guess I'm putting on too
much poundage. I'd do all right
in that Chicago Bears line, on the
weight angle. but know it doesn't
do me any good in golf. III work
off that suet later on.
Will Reduce, Says Sarazen.
But I don't care much about that
fading business. A fade, you know,
loses distance. and you need dis
tance these days against the big
boys who hit that ball so far"
Plenty of baseball players have
eaten themselves out of the big
leagues after they left the blue
plate schedule for something better
than phony T-bone steaks. But
this is one of the few times a
great golfer, according to Sarazen,
threatens to eat himself out of the
bi gtime. ED will lick that rap,'
says Gene.
