BY HENRY McLEMORE

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 10. CUP)-
Clothes do not make the man, but
do they make the golfer?
This question will be settled once
and for all today on the course of
the Lakeside clup. A match has
been arranged between the worlds
best dressed man and the world S
worst dressed man.
One of them is Adophe Menjou,
who has been listed in the big ten
by the tailors of the country as
often and as long as Tommy Hitch
cock has been placed in the Big Ten
by the polo association. Menjou is
the Babe Ruth of the haberdashers
the Ty Cobb of the cravats, the
Harmon of the shirtmakers, the
Tilden of the cutaWays, the Bob
Jones of the Waistcoats, and the
Louis of the vests, stocks and
Prince Alberts.
The other contestant in this
novel golf match is Henry McLe-
more. He is the paycheck of the
hand-me-doWn pants, the black
sox of the Norfolk jackets, and
the Knox college football team of
slacks, His sports pants are cut
strictly from Butterick patterns,
and his sweaters are those turned
down by the bundles-for- Britain
committee as not smart enough for
mine sweeper workers.
Menjou is said to have a clothes
closet that covers two acres. One
acre is devoted to sports clothes.
According to directors Leo McCarey
and Dave Butler, who arranged the
match. Menjou consults the ther-
mOmeter before dressing for a game
of golf If the reading is 76 he
puts on his rs outfit. If it is n
he slips on his II outfit, which is
a Wisp lighter If the day is claoudy
he selectes pair of knickers which
blends with the gray of the sky,
and if the day is sunny he chooses
an ensemble which will show to
the best effect under a bright sun.
His club covers are chosen with
just as much care as his lothes
He would no more go out ON the
course wearing an outfit which did
MT match or blend with his club
covers than he would give a stroke
a side to a hundred shooter. The
general belief is that he has a
color stylist to design the covers
for the heads of his wooden clube.
McLemore, I have it on good
authority, will meet Menjou on
the first tee wearing the following
outfit: A sweater he got with 80

NEW YORK. Dec. 10. CUP)-With
the Heisman trophy tucked under

The Pacific Coast conference took
the amateur bull by the horns today
and, scorning possible critical gor-

At the suggestion of Edwin N.

Allison Discards
Rocker Shift
As Foes Protest

DEL MONTE. Cal. Dec. 10. (UP)
-California's rocker shift" that
has given every Pacific Coast con-
ference team the jitters since it
was launched five years ago, has
been laid to rest by its originator.
Four hours of controversy behind
closed doors and five years of argu-
ment on the playing fields and
newspaper columns over legality of
the shift was ended at midnight
last night when Coach Leonard
Stub Allison agreed he was out
voted and pledged himself to for
get it from here out.
1t wasn't revealed who led the
argument, but the best bet seemed
to be that it was Coach Jimmy
Phelan of Washington, who has
been most outSpoken in his criti-
cism Of the hippity- repertoire
OF California's Bears.
The shift, its opponents claimed,
was illegal because it tended to
draw opponents offside and give
Bear linesmen an advantage in po-
sition and charge. There was no
official decree of death for the
shift despite the fact Athletic
Commissioner Edwin Atherton was
armed with ruling-one way or
another-on its legality from Walter
Ckeson, chairman of the football
rules committee. The old Sarge de-
clded he was outvoted and pledged
not to use the shift further.

Maynard doesn't have to take {

kick and pass with any of them and
he is one swell blocker. Ii has been
said that certain officials left him
off because of his conduct on the
field i'm the last Holtville-El Centre
game. Gene did lose his temper on
certain occasions in that game, but
any player is liable to do the same
thing in the heat of a closely con-
tested game.
If these certain officials didn't
vote for him because of that display
OF temper d. then we have no love
for them, they definitely do not rate
/ in Holtville. If an official will over
look a season of brilliant playing by
a player who was playing his heart
out, just because he did what any
body is liable to do in a close game,
then that official will do this world
no good. 1 hope the officials who
did this (if they did keep it to
themselves truly believe that some
left him off because they thought
that he called the Viking signals
which were none too brilliant. May

have been able TO determine Dots
effort was the best on record until
that time.
Speaking of high scores, Molly
Irvine of the City Hall and Lillian
ShaWley of Robertsons, both of
whom have bowled less than 6 times
won prizes last week for high daily
scores. And 1l-year-old Clarence
Nickel, who was complimented in
this column last week for his 131
average, came through with a 202
score last night. 1t was his first 200

A novel target tourney was staged

The object of the tourney was to

but of over 20 entrants, only were
able to hit the target. These 4,
Proebstal, Jack Mattox, A. J. Burke

money between them.
Randall Henderson clicked off a
209 last week. Henderson, who was
an expert % years ago, had not
bowled from that time until just

long to regain his old form. High

today were in line to land the two
prize college stars of 1910, Fulback
John Kimbrough of Texas A. & M
and Halfback Tommy Harmon of

By reason of player deals with

word about the Notre Dame-USC

Notre Danes weakness through
out the season was in the forward
wall. Its backfield was truly one
of the finest offensive machines
this writer has seen in five years
and all but Piepul and Saggau
will be back for another season.
The lines weakness, however. can
be traced to ineXperience and on
the basis of the forward walls show

be among the best in the nation
next season.
Only two men will be gone, o.

The Vikings placed Zumstein at

We over this way think that there
