1erps Meet Rutgers
In Baltimore in
Grid Shifts
W. & l. to Be Played
In Lost Tilt Of Year
At College Park

A kink that ensnarled the Uni
versity of Maryland football sched-
ule last fall when Thanksgiving
Day was changed from the last
Thursday in November to the third
finally has been ironed out.
This change in turkey day and
the necessary shifting of games
forced the calling off the WASH
ington and Lee tilt last fall and
setting a new date for the clash
this season.
With all the adjustments made
Maryland, in its nine-game sched-
ule next fall, will play Rutgers in
Baltimore on new Thanksgiving
Day. November 81, and will meet
Washington and Lee at College
Park on November 30 in the finale.
1t is expected that the Terps and
Generals will resume their turkey
day series, that was tossed into dis
order by President Roosevelt's shift,
in 1941.
1t also was decided to play the
game with Western Maryland on
October 26 at night In the Balti-
more Stadium.
Maryland really has an almost
home" schedule. as only one game
is too far distant for its followers to
see. -Four games will be staged at
College Park, two in the Baltimore
Stadium and the tilts with v. M. L
in Lynchburg and Penn at Phila-
delphia are within fairly easy auto
driving distance.
Practice at Maryland will start

Fast Course Promises
Record in St. Paul
Golf Tournament .
Metz, Who Holds Record,
On Top Of His Game as
Title Defense Opens
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press.
ST. PAUL. July 26-An assault
on par which may make an historic
dent in the record books was a
more than usual possibility as the
Nations top golf professionals shot
the first round of the $500 st. Paul
Open over the Keller course today.
Ideal scoring conditions were at
hand. A week of near 10O-degree
heat. with its inevitable drying
effect, has made the course more
vulnerable, especially to the long
hitters, and cooler weather which
started yesterday makes it the easier
for the pros to take advantage of
this opportunity.
1t would be no great surprise
therefore to see someone, possibly
the champion himself, beat the
record-breaking 270 score for 70
holes-18 under par-which Dick
Metz established in winning last
years event.
Metz, Lake Forest, Ill, star, ap-
parently comes to Keller on top of
his game, Only few days ago he
copped the Chicago Open with a
FOUNDER par 278.
Lawson Little of San Francisco,
the National Open titlst, is back for
another crack at the $1,000 first
prize, along with Ed Oliver of
Northmoor, N. Y, who gained al
most as much fame as Little by not
winning the Open.

Baltimore e'S'GoIfers
Eager for Revenge
In Intercity Play
Washington Team Likely
To Find Opposition
Strong August 4

Coming up a week from Sunday
is one of the major amateur links
affairs of the season. It's the an
nual match between simon -pures
from Washington and Baltimore,
and the Washington lads aren't 60
ing to have it all their own way
this time as thyve had for the last
three years.
The match will be played at the
Terra Marie Club of Townson, Md,
on August 4 and the Baltimore boys
are getting set for some revenge
for the unmannerly way in which
the Washington amateurs have
kicked them around in the Mary
land State championships and four
ball matches over the last 10 years.
Baltimoreans Improving.
It's no secret that Washington
amateurs have done a pretty work
manlike job of dominating golf in
the State of Maryland over the last
few years. Right now the. State
amateur championship is held by
Parker Nolan of Congressional. The
Indian Spring Club team holds the
State team championship, a::d
Claude Rippy and Roger Peacock OF
Indian Spring hold the two-ball
championship. The junior title Of
the State even is held by a kid
classed as a Washingtonian-young
Freddie Bolton of Bethesda.
But lately the Baltimoreans have
been showing increasing strength
among the amteurs. Spencer Over
ton won the Middle Atlantic cham
pionship, played at Baltimore, and
Overton, Otto Greiner and Eddie
Johnston have been doing all right
in the little Journeys staged by vari-
Gus links organizations The WASH
ington team, strong as it will be,
won't have the easy match they've
had in past seasons.
Washington Squad Strong.
The newspaper men of Washing
ton-fairly keen observers of the
game-have named their selections
for the team. They number, among
quite a group, the following names,
with Peacock as captain Parker
Nolan. Ralph Bogart, Billy Shea,
George F. Miller, Harry Pitt, Dick
Melvin, John Bergelin, John F.
Browner. DR.. E. T. Rice, Billy Shea,
Billy Dettweiler, Volney Burnett,
Claude Rippy, Earle Skinker, George
Vass, Frank White and some others.
It's a pretty good team, but it won't
have any soft match against the
rejuvenated Baltimore boys.
Later in the season-on August 81
the juniors of the two towns will
get together at Argyle for their
annual match. This also consistent
ly has been won by Washingtonians.

Furgo|'s S Backswing

By Auto Mishap
Clark, Quorter-FinoI Foe,
Comes From Behind
To Score Twice
BY GEORGE STAUTER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


DETROIT, July ga 138-pound
metal polisher who overcame the
handicap of left arm he cannot
hold straight was tagged today as
the man to beat in the national
public links golf championships.
He is 22-year-old Edward j. Furgol
of Utica, N. Y. Although he has
been playing the game only four
years he has led the way through
some of the most hectic firing in
golfing history.
Out OF field of 100 starters Fur
gol was the pace-setter as today's
36-hole semiflnal round got under
way.
In advancing this far with Mi
chael Dietz of Detroit, Ray Dolce
of Denver and Robert Clark of St.
Paul, Mimi. the New Yorker has
toured SO holes over the long Rack
ham municipal course in 4 under
par.
He has eliminated four oppo-
nents, including Worth Stimits, jr.,
the Colorado Springs (Colo.) COL
legian who was co-medalist with
him, and never has been behind
except on. the first hole with his
quarter final opponent, Labron Har-
ris, Guthrie, Okla.
Turns on Heat in Stretch.
In this last match, Furgol, despite
a backswing that goes no more than
3 feet as result of an arm in
jury in an automobile accident,
held his own for nine holes. Then
in the stretch he turned on the
heat, winning four of the next six
holes, two with brides, to end
the match on the 18th green.
Today he plays Clark, a 31-year-
old hardware salesman who calls
himself week end golfer" and
who has turned out to be the tour
nament dark horse.
A former caddy, Clark climaxed a
day of sensational play by winning a
l-up quarter-final match with Louis
Jennings, Portland, Greg, after be-
ing forced to 60 an extra hole to
defeat 18-year-old Charles Lind of
Denver, Colo.
Clark pulled both matches out of
the fire. He was three down to
Jennings, Oregon State amateur
champion, at the turn. Then he
caught afire, taking the next three
holes-two on birdies-to square the
match, and firing away until he
went ahead on the 17th to stay.
Clark Has Amazing Streak.
Against Lind he was 2 up at the
end of nine holes and was 2 under
par with 50 for Is holes. But the
Colorado youngster, as game as they
come, let loose an amazing burst of
subpar golf. He shot a 4-under-par
80 on the last nine that included two
brides and sent the match into
overtime by holing a 60-foot ap-
proach shot on the 18th.
Dolce, 24-year-old efficiency
clerk for a rubber concern. also
had to go 81 holes in advancing
past Edward NJ. Harper, University
of Idaho freshman, up, in 20 holes,
and Michael Stefanchik, 26-year-
old Gary Gnd) pipefitter, 2 up.
He overcame Cup lead Harper
had at the end of nine holes and
won the extra hole with a spectacu-
lar recovery shot from the rough
to within 6 inches of the pin.
His semifinal opponent, Michael
Dietz, 23-year-old automotive fac
tory worker. blew hot and cold in
ousting Donald Shock, Dayton
Ohio, 6 and S, and Jack La Rose, a
fellow townsman, and 2.

John L. Sullivan Wow
As First Ghost Scribe
By GRANTLAND RICE.

NE WORK, July 26 (N.AN.A).-
Who was the first ghost writer in
sport? The answer may have come
In the death of Peter Maher a day
or two ago.
Maher was one of the last of the
old bare-f1sted school, going back
to the later reign of John l.. Sui
Ivan, the Boston Strong Boy. Over
40 years ago Peter Maher, as recall
the hazy details, was scheduled to
meet Bob Fitzsimmons in Texas.
George Ade, the famous Hoosier,
happened to cover the fight.
THE feature of that long ago
contest" George Ade told me, was
the first appearance of John L.
Sullivan as sports scribe. John L.
was hired by Boston paper to
cover the show. To be sure that
Sullivans writing technique was in
line the Boston paper sent down a
Harvard graduate to see that the
English language survived.

Soys Lew Will Be Trained
Differently Next Time

jenkins" he said, "is without anv
question the hardest puncher for his
weight that ever lived. But he was
in neither mental nor physical con-
dition for the Armstrong fight.
There was too much family and
other interference. He knew before
the fight that he was not in shape
to 60 more than few rounds. That
explains why he quit jabbing and
hooking with his left after the
second round to start his right
hand punching. He knew he-had to
win in hurry.
IT can tell you now it will be diff
ferent next time. I don't happen to
be interested in punks. And Jen-
kins is no punk. If he is given an
other chance he will be ready-in
shape And I honestly believe he
can whip Armstrong or any other
fighter from 140 pounds on down.
Don't write jenkins off the ticket
He is far better fighter than he
looked to be in his last start. I
don't believe anybody knows how
hard Jenkins can punch except Lou
Ambers and myself. His next
training will be entirely different,
There will be no excuses next time
and I can promise that you will
see an entirely different fighter.
