Portly Parker Nolan, Maryland
State amateur champion. is the
choice of the smart" money to win
the Congressional Country Club
championship, for which match play
started today.
1t may seem strange to talk about
money in connection with club
championship. There never has been
much betting on club title events
around Washington. But Congress
sional goes at 1t in a betting way.
Each year, just before the club
championship starts, they hold a
Calcutta pool. which is an affair
in which tickets are sold on the
chances of the. various contestants.
The gent who buys the number of
a potential champion can sell the
ticket at auction, and all the money
from the ticket sales and bids for
holders of tickets on favorites goes
into pot, which is split among the
holders of tickets on the winner,
the runner-up and the semiinalists
Nolan Brings s110.
Nolan. for whose links ability those
people at Congressional have high
regard, brought s11o in the auction
sale of the tickets. Strangely enough,
the bidders ranked District Amateur
Champion Ralph Bogart below No
Ian. The two-time District champ
brought S85, while Billy Shea, for
mer District titleholder, sold for
$50. Gene Pittman. the defending
Congressional champ. was away
down the list.
OF course, there's some merit to
the claims of the Congressional peo-
pie that Nolan is the top golfer in
the club. The middle-aged Parker
waded through a good field in June
to win the Maryland. championship,
and has won the club title several
times. He knows every blade of
grass on that course. and plays 1t
well. But the pairings are so ar
ranged that If both Nolan and b.
CART both win their first two
matches, they'll meet in the semi
final, which will be played Saturday,

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s-In line
with the growing tendency toward
taking a flyer at national football
fame before trying to win sectional
and conference laurels, few dozen
> of the Nations leading football
teams engage in major intersec-
tional clashes today.
It's a stunt that's been growing
more popular since the old idea OF
starting off with a couple of push
overs fell from favor. And as a re-
suit this early-season Saturday
offers a program worthy of the
hottest part of the campaign.

Teams from the Big Nine" dt

the most important battles. Michi-
gan, favored to lead the conference
this season. engages California at
Berkeley: Minnesota plays WASH
ington, one of the contenders for the
Pacific Coast Conference crown, at
Minneapolis, and the Ohio State
poWerhouse takes on Pitt. which has
slipped back a trifle from the top
of the Eastern rankings.
Another interSectional clash OF
major Importance sends Boston Col
lege against Tulane at New Orleans.
Lesser East South clashes are Vir-
glnia Lehigh, Marshall Virginia
Tech and Navy-William and Mary
Georgetown plays Roanoke and
Colgate meets Akron in couple of
''Warmups.
On the Western half of the con-
tinent there are such games as
Santa Clara-Utah. coupled with
Stanford-San Francisco in double
header, San Jose State-Utah State,
Wyoming-New Mexico and in the
Southwest Texas-Colorado, Texas
Christian-Centenar and Texas
Mines North Dakota.
Sectional Clashes Few.

as the Indians won a moral victory
by holding a highly favored st.

The backield Of Bill Spencer. Bob

The Johnnies, however, have little

tied by the inspired Indians. They
have team of big boys, with en-
phasis on Bill Brogan, Buddy Speiss,
Harold Krug and Tom Chisari in
the backfleld, which likely will be
tough to stop once it starts rolling.
Anacostia opened the scoring in
the second quarter after Absher re-

countered with a march from their

team. They wore down to the Ana

send in his first -stringers. and two
plays later Speiss found a hole
through right tackle for a 25-yard
touchdown gallop. Chisari kicked
the extra point.

| come that people are enabled to meet their liabilities and thus squeeze the imitation out of the pur- chasing power which they have bor- rowed and for which they are liable Heavy taxation increases the diff1- culties of people in meeting their debt burdens, and, for this reason is not a preventive of imitation but may in fact contribute to it. Unfor- tunately people seem to think infia- tion reveals itself only in rising prices. But this is not the case. We had steady price level from 1923- 1929, and underlying it was a tre- mendous volume of inflation-un- payable debts. Such debts can exist regardless of the behavior of the price level, and it is at its worst when prices fall.
 To prevent credit imitation it is necessary to see to it that all credit extended can be liquidated when it natures. This calls for adequate in- StrumentS of credit control. Most of these today have been lodged with the Federal Reserve authorities. But there are many lenders over which the Reserve authorities have little control; and such lenders may not act wisely-they may lend too free ly, and borrowers may borrow too freely. The chief point here, how ever, is that it is not in heavier tax atlon but in the proper control of the uses of credit that we find our protection against credit imitation.

ness enterprise and with maximum employment, national income would
 increase to 8 much higher level. Tax
 receipts at present tax rates would
 increase correspondingly The elimi- nation ofsunemployment and the at
 tendant costs combined with the
 termination of unnecessary govern
 ment expenditures would in effect
 add large sum to government re- 1 ceiptS.
 It is important to realize that the
 present Administration does not
 know what the government receipts
 would be under conditions of great business expansion and minimum
 of unemployment. This is something
 that should be learned before tax
 rates are increased.
 A sharp tipping of tax rates can so oppress business, and, consequently foster unemployment and sagging
 national income to such an extent, that the people so burdened with taxes cannot produce as much in tax receipts as they would if the other suggested conditions were permitted
 to prevail.
 Nor do heavy taxes prevent in- dation, if that term is properly ana lyzed and defined. A person is in an
 inflated condition financially if his I assets will not permit him to meet his liabilities. The amount of unpay- able debts is the measure of the credit imitation which prevails at any particular time; and it is by prosperity and an increase in in

Harassine and expressing business which have characterized recent years should be terminated, and the notion of breathing spells should be buried forever because government policies should not provide excuses for breathing spells.
 Brakes should be taken off busi- ness activity in every way that will encourage free enterprise to move forward into an era of great expan- sion. This can be accomplished with out sacrificing government regula- tion of the proper type.
 With business enterprise running full blast, unemployment should be practically eliminated.
