Sand Wedge No Club
For True Golfer,
Mcleod Holds
CoIumbiu's Veteran Pro
Would Like U. S. G. A.
To Ban Implement

Fred Mcleod, Columbia Country
Club pro, would be just as well
pleased II the golf solons barred the
sand wedge.
ut would be o. K. with me-" said
Freddie, IT they returned the game
to the men who play with orthodox
clubs and who know how to play
shots"
Mcleod oozed q species of scorn
for the modern game. Or as much
scorn as Scotsman can produce.
He doesn't think golf has gone to
the dogs, or is on the downgrade.
but if the links legislators bar the
sand wedge it will be all right with
Fred.
Master of Mashie- Niblick.
Of course the Mcleod happens to
be the acknowledged master of the
mashie-niblick. He is one of the
few golf masters in America who
has had special club made after
his pattern. 1t was built from an
old thin-bladed mashie niblick that
Freddie used for 80 years or more
and then retired, in favor of steel
shafted copy Of the club.
These dudes" says Fred, in his
own quaint idiom,'' would rather
be in trap alongside the green
than chipping across it. Some Of
the experts with the sand wedge
would pust as soon play out Of sand
as from the fairway. And they
are not fooling. They have become
so expert with the club they can
whack the ball out Of the sand as
close as they could chip it.
Wedge Is Stroke saver.
"The only way to cure that is to
ridge the bunkers in the sand.
That's what some of the champion
ship courses are coming to, and I
wouldn't be surprised to see more
of that sort of thing"
Perhaps you gather by now that
Freddie doesn't think much of the
wedge. Not that he is a crusader
or doddering old gent who thinks
that anything old is good. But
Fred genuinely believes the wedge
makes possible q more or less
artificial shot.
But land this is a big butt take
away the wedge from the bags of
the reigning pro stars and their
scores would Immediately shoot up,
on the average of probably stroke
q round. That's about what 1t
amounts to in stroke saving, this

Redskins Vision Game
With Lions Sunday
AS Hardest Test
Rough, Rugged Detroit
Outfit Leeds League
In Defensive PIoy
By BILL DIsMER, Jr.

Not even the Chicago Bears will
be as tough for the Redskins-phy-
sically, mentally or statistically-as
the Lions promise to be in Detroit
on Sunday.
That's the general impression
these days as the undefeated In.
dians prepare to embark on thei,
only Western trip Of the season to
meet an opponent rated q fine
chance to annex its first league
championship since 1885.
Physically, the Lions are reported
as rougher and tougher than the
Bears, with whom those two adjec-
tives have been synonymous. Last
year, 1t will be recalled, 1t was the
seven injuries suffered by Wash
ington in the Detroit game that
wrecked the Indians chances against
the Giants the following week, even
though the Redskins ran away from
the Lions here.
Lions in VengcfuI Mood.
Mentally, the Liens will be "lay-
ing" for the Skins. Although
Washington has won only two out OF
seven games in their all-time league
series between the teams, both Of
those defeats have come in the past
two years and each did much II
knock the Lions out Of consideration
for their divisional crown. In 1898,
the Redskins won a rs victory in
Detroit and the Lions finished only
one game behind the victorious
Bears. Last year Detroit had 9

Tribe. 3l-7.

have yielded less yardage.
But most disturbing of all reports
are the notes on the Lions pass de-
fense. Last Sunday Detroit inter.
cepted 7 Of Green Bays 80 passes
and the Packers probably are the
second best passing team in the
loop.
Filchock May Not Play.
Adding misery to the Redskins
worries is the probability that
Frank Filchock may not be able tc
play at all. Washington's No.

Harmon Will Meet Man
His Own Size Saturday
By JOHN LARDNER,

NEW YORK, Oct. % (NAN.AD.-
The woolly tales of 100 unofficial
press agents have kept Mr.. Thomas
Harmon. the Michigan all-every-
thing, before your eye as though his
pants and sweater were trimmed in
Neon light. but how bright will
Thomas shine next Saturday when
he goes into the ring with some one
his own size?
AS a general thing, the public can
handle only one all-everything at a
time. Because Harmon's cheer
leaders got to the people first with
the biggest megaphones, the Mich
igan marvel is the talk of the coun-
try-such of the country, I mean,
as knows the difference between
touchdowns and spoonbread.
And Tommy is a great back too,
as backs CO. But others exist, in one
degree of eclipse or another. When
the spotlight turns on the field at
Ann Arbor, Mich. this week, it will
not fail to pick up Francis Xavier
Reagan of Pennsylvania.
Reagan will share the lawn with
Harmon. so you can't miss him.
Penn plays Michigan.
Both are good ball clubs. well
coached, with good lines and good
blocking. But the fame of one lies
IN Harmon, and the notoriety of the
other rests in Reagan, and the fans
appetite for single heroes is such
that the game will have the aspect
OF private duel.
