Mrs. Fanny Amstutz Roberts,
president of the Washington College
of Music and former head of the
Washington Music Teachers AsSo-
citation, today gave her Endorsement
to The Stars opera appreciation
program and cited the unprecedent-
ed success of last years music ap-
probation campaign as challenge
for this new cultural venture.
Opera lovers will have the oppor-
tunity to show whether they out
number lovers of symphony music, I"
she said. They may have gained
unwilling recruits in those persons,
who, without prior listening expert
ence, may become champions of all
great music through having eX-
posed themselves to the great music
of the symphonic recordings dis
tributed last year.
Record Perfection Praised.
Mrs. Roberts. who was member
of the Committee of Sponsors for
the campaign conducted by The
Star last year, said the advantage
in the present project is that the
great operas "are given the finest
presentation both in the musical
and mechanical perfection of the
records"
Those with a distaste for opera,
as such, may have had the unfortu-
nate experience of hearing and
seeing it badly done" she continued.
Scarcely any musical experience
could be worse. Opera calls for a
dramatic sense on the part OF its
performers and. while records cam
not appeal to the eye, nevertheless
they contain in their fat. unemo-
tional material surfaces the dra-
matte coloring Of magnificent hu-
man voices. which even in the
spoken drama of the actor has a
wide range and which is greatly
extended by the cadences of music.
Mrs. Roberts said she believed an
Excellent choice" had been made
of the operas offered in The Star S
program While the average Amer
ican may respond with partiality to
one or another Of the list. she said
perhaps he may become inqulsltive

Their alertness on defense was
revelation We had a half dozen
plays especially designed for that
game alone and the Bears broke up
every one of them"
After watching the Bears whip his
Brooklyn team, canny Jock Suther-
land said they have the finest col
lection of talent he ever had seen
on one field. Dutch Clark, Cleve-
land coach, agreed with this esti-
mate after seeing the team in
action.
The Bears play Detroit there Sum-
day, then go to Washington for a
game with the undefeated Redskins,
winding up the season In games
with Cleveland and the Chicago
Cardinals. The Bears need to win
only two of these to assure them
selves of a tie for the Western
division title even if Green Bay
wins all its four remaining games.
Owner Coach George Halas is
leaving the superlatives to others as
he guards his talented charges
against over-confidence the re-
mainder of the way. Halas, how
ever, has admitted that this squad
probably is potentially better than
any of the other three Bear teams
that won national championships.

Putting Still Decisive.
1--WE have some great putters
today among both the pros and the
amateurs. OF course, the game has

remains the one department of golf
that determines the winner. l

the short ones and holes few 30
footers is going to get his share Of

Horton himself has done all right.
Those raking tee shots aren't getting
out there as far and as straight
as they did in 1929. Those long
irons aren't seeking the pin as often
as they used to, but Horton is in
there because he can control that
putter. He finished a shot behind
the tie for the National Open cham
pionship at Cleveland in June.

Pro golfers of the Middle Atlantic

before they close the book on the

uled at Indian Spring November l3.
They held one yesterday at Balti-

of the pros this year, finished one
two. Al didn't win. He finished
second, but he kept in the winning
groove, by recording a SO to finish
second in the pro sweepstakes affair,
two shots behind the fine 81 shot
by Ralph Beach, Baltimore pro. who
won. John Bass, the home pro, was
third with 10.
Beach got himself an extra special
partner, and also won the pro-
amateur affair. His side kick was
Ed Rommell, the former big league
pitcher. Ed happens to be very
good golfer, and he got a generous
handicap yesterday. Between them
Beach and Rommell-they had
| best ball of 81. which won most Of
the marbles. Bass and c. A. Hook
were next with SO, while Beach and
Lawrence Wisner and Bob Barnett
and George Zumbrun tied for third
with Gas.

Minnesota? Michigan? Texas A.

these teams are. I doubt they have
any better defense or any scoring
combinations quite up to Cornell's.
1t is difficult always to argue any
other sections into the belief that
some other section might have a
better team. They regard any such
beliefs, as non-partisan as they
might be, as pure and unadulter-

Who will they be?

where Minnesota has the easier fin
ish after a killing start. 6. Stan

In this list Notre Dame must be

Elmer Layden's team will be out

day. Notre Dame has Navy, Iowa,
Northwestern and Southern Califor-
