BRITAIN TAKES
OVER SHIPPING
GREAT BRITAIN

Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain announced in the house of
commons Wednesday that the gov
eminent would take over control
of the shipbuilding industry Thurs
day simultaneously with requi-
sitioning more than 1000, 900 tons
of cargo liners.
The prime minister said that
henceforth the admiralty would
determine the number and type of
ships to be built and would super
wise repairs.
The ministry of shipping. he
said, will decide where and when
cargo liners will sail and what
cargoes they will carry.
Similar plans were adopted in
the closing years Of the last war
and were designed to insure suf-
ficient ships to maintain a con-
slant flow of vital war supplies
and food to Great Britain.

Navy, which has beaten only

1t seemed the entire fleet would be
employed in an attempt to hold the
score to respectable bounds. Navy
used II players after taking 2O-9
half-time lead, and it was Walt
Shaffer, unheralded reserve, who
paced the Middies with 10 points.
Navy also had its troubles in the
swimming pool, as Harvard natators
took all but three first places to
give the Middies a 47-28 licking,
Harvard's Cutler churned his way
to 4:565 pool record in the 440-

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23.-Gene

who has won every major golf title,
made his 1910 tournament debut
today with shot at the $4,000 New
Orleans open and a volley at young
er players who are satisfied to fin
ish In the money"
The squire, a veteran at 81, had a
sentimental reason for forsaking his
pitchfork and milk pail to enter this
tourney. Victories here In 1922 and
1882 started him to his two best
seasons.
I'm the lod days." recalled the
stocky master, I'VE went for every
thing or nothing, and didn't feel
any glory in finishing second.
Admits Game Has Advanced.
"It is surprising how many Of the
younger generation nurse the ball
up to the hole, rather than take q
crack at ringing the bell"
He admitted "the game has ad-
vanced," but added most of the
young fellows have far to 60 before
they equal the records Of Bobby
Jones, Walter Hagen and Tommy
Armour"
Sarazen named Slammin' Sam
Snead of Shawnee, Pa, as the out
standing present-day golfer.
''He hasn't reached his peak yet"
he declared, "but when that man
starts to win he's not going to win
by only two strokes, but by ten."
Sarazen played with an injured
thumb suffered while working on
his clubs in Augusta, Ga. That
did not keep him from an individual
score of II, one under par, in yes
terday's pro-amateur.
Sarazen scarcely figured to match
strokes with the younger and less
glorious generation as the four-day
tourney got under way at 7:3O am.
Players Will Share.
Twenty players will share in the
purse, donated by Mayor Robert S.
Maestri. A new champion will be
crowned as Henry Picard, last years
winner, was kept at his Hershey,
Pa, home by illness in the family.
Young Jimmy Demaret of Hous-
ton, Tex, winner of three of the
seven tournaments on the winter
circuit, was considered the man to
catch for $4,000 top money. Snead,
who has played little competitive
golf this season because of dates
with the dentist, and several others
were ranked as co-favorites.
