Unlike the old war horse who
shifts the battle from afar and
yearns for further conflict, Witty
Cox, the former Brooklyn pro, who
carried the colors of Dyker Beach
into many a hard-won pro golf VIC
tory, thinks no more of those hard
fought tournament struggles. where
a half-inch means the difference
between winning and losing. Mac
Donald Smith. who had his share of
hard luck in the days when he was
the great runner-up and uncrowned
Open champ, used to say the diff
ference between champ and bum
in golf was a half-inch. Give me
the right to use that half-inch as I
want and Id win lot Of tourna-

But Why Cox, winner of the

when that one meant real money in

Jock Sutherland Proves
Gloss in Pro Football

The pro race still is one of the
hottest of many years. The pace
this season has been the fastest on
record, and Jock Sutherland has
turned in one of the seasons best
jobs as firSt-year Dodger coach.
There was considerable interest
all over the football country as to
how the eminent doctor would fare
in professional ranks. They all
know the answer now. A good coach
is good coach in any league.
Ray Flaherty's Washington Red
skins looked to have the show
bottled up until SutherlandS Dodg-
ers stopped the Redskin assault.
On top of this the still alert Red
skins, with Sammy Baugh pitching,

best percentage is the 43 yards of
the Chicago Cardinals Hugh Nc
Cullough. Baugh also is credited
with the third longest kick, his To-
yard boot last Sunday being topped
only by the Bears George McAfee' S
79-yarder and Halls IS.
Dick Todd still holds first place
in the scoring race and is only
three touchdowns behind Andy
FarkaS' record of II touchdowns in
one season. Jimmy Johnston,
Wayne Millner, Todd and Charlie
Malone rank as the third, fourth,
fifth and seventh pass-receivers
behind Philadelphia Don Looney
and Green Bays Don Hutson.
Looney has set a new record by
catching AZ passes, one more than
the mark held jointly by Hutson and
Gaynell Tinsley.
Whizzer White continues to lead
in ground-gaining with a 116-yard
lead over Cleveland's Johnny Drake,
with Tuffy LeemanS and Banks

Harvard Yale Contest
Should Be Close
By GRANTLAND RICE.

special Correspondent OF Inc star.
NEW YORK. Nov. 81 tNAN.Ao.
Saturdays ancient duel between
Harvard and Yale may be for no
championship of any sort, but it
should be one of the closest of the
season. Both Blue and Crimson
have suffered many injuries, with
few requirements for the open gaps,
and this makes any advance Selec-
ton even harder to make.
After all. Harvard has tied Penn
sylvania, and Yale has beaten the
Dartmouth team that beat Cornell.
Penn State will have hard time
keeping her unbeaten record safe
against a good. stout Pittsburgh
team that is far from being an easy
mark. These are both good teams,
with good lines and good backfeldS,
and the choice again isn't easy TO
make.
The same is true Of the Cornell
Pennsylvania matter at Franklin
Field. These TWO teams stlll have
the best material in the Ivy cir
cult, concerning both quantity end
quality. Cornells apparent edge
took a good drop after the Dart
mouth game as Pennsylvania came
booming back.
Lafayette should have no such
trouble in its traditional game with
Lehigh. Lafayette, still unbeaten,
should be one Of the few to remain
In that cheerful condition through
the finish.
