THIN FAIRWAYS SURE TO HAMPER U. s. OPEN FIELD
Colonial Course in Texas Gives Best Linksmen
 Plenty of Trouble
BY JOSEPH F. HEARST United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Tt. Worth, Tex, June 2-(UP)-- That moaning sound sweeping over the Colonial club golf course today was not the Texas wind but the walls of some of the nations top golfers who explored the course and found 1t tougher than e two-bit steak.
 The National Open golf cham pionghip will be decided over the long par 70 Colonial layout start ing Thursday, and although some Of the best shotmakers in the field Of l72 have given 1t c whirl, plus par scores have been the rule, The chief complaint Is that the fairways are too narrow.
 A Southern California contingent comprising 0lin Dutra, the former Open champion, George Won Elm of the 1881 memorable 72-hole play- on with Billy Burke, George Lacey, the British veteran, and young Bill Nary from Hing Crosby's Rancho Santa Fe course, toured the first nine yesterday afternoon and were unanimous in declaring that the rthbon.like fairways penalized the shots too heavily. Desp:te this Nary hAd two-under-par 8. Even e needle threader would be out of his element on them, they said.
 I've seen Q lot of golf courses and this one will prove about as tough as they come," Won Elm said. The fairways are 90 narrow around the 260-yard mark that long drivers are going to catch c lot of trouble. A score of 2e6, or maybe higher, ought to be good enough"
 Spoons Of Tee?
 Dutra, whose 2s4 won in 1884, nodded agreement. He played two or three balls of each tee, went Into the rough frequently and kept no score. Lacey said he hit only one or two fairways and predicted some of the long hitters would play safe by using spoons off the tees.
 On the other side, however, were Slsh fellows as Jimmy Demaret, who believes 279 will be the win hing score, and Vic dhe2zi who thinks even par will be good enough. Gene Sarazen thinks 284 will be the figure and Ralph Gull harl, another two- time winner of the Open, believes the winner will take only c few strokes over par.
 ouldahl, who scored an even 70 his first time around, was inclined to raise his estimate after Sundays adventures in the rough gave him Q 77.
 Many who played yesterday failed to keep cards or played experiment tAl shots, but some whose scores were reported included: Paul Run van, the recent Qoodall winner, 70; Horton Smith, rated Q l2 to 1 shot by the bookies, 7S; Tom stockweil Dallas pro, 76; Jimmy Hines, "A; Tony Penna, 7S; Craig Wood, 7e; Sara8en, 7i; Henry RanSon, local professional. "a; Willie Turnest, 70; Dan Schumacher, Dallas, 74; Billy Coffey, Texas amateur titlist, 76; and Wilfred Wehrle, last years low scoring amateur, 7e.

year; Ralph Guldahl, two-time victor In the Open; Harry Cooper, the stylist, and the brothers, Lloyd and Ray Mangrum.
 While Lawson Little, the defend- Ing titleholder, contends northern golfers will be ct no disadvantage In the tree.topped test along the Trinity river, there Is Q pronounced difference In hitting 6 ball from heavy lies on thick mapped northern fairways and thin-rooted Bermuda grass.
 As Demaret explains, players raised in the COW country develop the habit of punching through thin rooted grass. Going north, they found they "carne up empty" if they hit e bit behind the ball. The sponge-rubber trurf texture smoth- cred the clubhead if they contacted the turf Q shade too early or if they dug too deep after contact.
 The proper technic on fluffy northern fairways IS to clip the ball cleanly and then take c rather shallow dlvot. A golfer has to de- lay the uncocking action of the wrists and keep the body back of the ball.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-06-02

ct No. {, 6, 13 and 16. No. 5, c mighty 46e.yard par four, and No. 16, 6 difficult 46S.yarder abound ing in traps, are likely to cause head and heartaches.
 There's no need to worry about the boys burning tip this course" says Henry Picard. "some of them, Of course, will get very hot for c round or two, but there won't be many doing par for four rounds. The distances gre long. The rough Is mighty rough. There's trouble everywhere"
 Texans are giving the first Na- tional Open ever played in the Great Southwest c rousing welcome. There b every indication that all gallery records will be broken. The tournament has smashed by more than 1000 the all.time record sale of season tickets. The old record was 3O36, set at Cleveland'S Canter- bury last June.
 Some 2O,O0O daily tickets have been printed and arrangements have been made to rush others through If necessary. officials pre- dict that as many as 10000 will see some of the play.
 With this enthusiasm, it is easy to understand why Texas has turn- cd out SO many splendid golfers.

NELSON KNOWS IRONS AND COLONIAL COURSE

On dry, thin skinned Texas fair- ways, players dredge deep with irons as though hammering . peg into the turf. An accomplished iron player used to the going can make the ball do tricks.
 It Is for this reason that Lord Byron, Nelson, finest of Iron play CTS, Is favored in this years Open by not Q few. His blade really will ricochet through the Colonial turf.
 Accuracy and irons are expected to account for the championship.

these policies have been complied

these policies have been compiled
with in the past.
The boards have been advised to
give special attention to physicians
and medical students. There is a
growing shortage Of doctors, not only
in military but in public health
circles, yet testimony before congress
sional committees has indicated that
some physicians and medical stu
dents have been drafted into the
ranks as infantry privates, artillery
men or the like. This does not make
sense New instructions issued for
guidance of the boards provide for
deferment of physicians whose serv-
ices are required in protecting health
of their communities and also of
medical students who give reason
able promise of becoming acceptable
medical doctors" At the same time,
the boards were urged to encourage
doctors and internes to apply for
commissions in the Medical Reserve
Corps. where their professional ca
pacities may be fully utilized. These
instructions probably will quiet re-
cent demands in medical circles for
legislation to achieve similar ends.
Discretion in each individual case
thus will remain with the local draft
boards, where Congress intended it
should rest.

THIS AND THAT
1t requires determination, the real
thing, to prune favorite plants.
BIZ Charles E. TrdceDeIl.

1t requires determination. the real
thing, to prune favorite plants.
Often shrubs outgrow themselves.
Their leggy appearance, all the leaves
at the top, calls for pruning.
But the will is weak. Heroic determi-
nation Is not always on tap. The plant
goes on from season to season, leggy
and too tall.
Everybody says. You should prune
tt" as if one didn't know it already !!
Sometimes in business, when men grow
old, they fail to do what the situation
calls for When they are hauled up on
the carpet, as the phrase has it, and are
told they should have done so and so,
they almost always reply, But I knew
that" The invariable reply to that is,
Then why didn't you do it?" And
there is, of course, no reply to that
But any one VINO has an old overgrown
shrub or rose vine knows how the man
feels. He knows what he ought to do,
but somehow he just can't bring himself
to do it.
Life, as George Cohan said long ago,
is mighty funny proposition, after all.
There Is no greater pleasure for the
garden observer at this time of year
than to watch the faithful robin catch
ing his worms.
This is one of natures triumphs.
The bird cocks its head on the side,
smiles, and then plunges in the bill
Don't dispute that smile OF course it
smilesD
Then it braces its feet, and gives a
mighty haul
The strong neck muscles do the work,
aided by the legs and bill
Out comes the worm and down 1t
goes. The twinkling of an eye is all it
takes healthy robin, normal or albino,
to swallow its best food
Just how many worms per day a robin
eats is difficult to say.
The best the scientists do for us in
this respect is to tell us that about AZ
per cent of the birds food is animal
matter, including insects, and So per
cent vegetable matter.
Ornithologists say that the robin eats
10 times as much uncultivated fruit as
cultivated. If people would plant the
Russian mulberry, they declare, the birds
would never touch cultivated cherries
which ripen at the same time.
The robin, in case you hadn't thought
of it, is ward of Uncle Sam, and has
been since 1913, when the Federal mi
gratory bird law became a statute.
In other words, you can't legally kill
robin, any more than you can a wood
thrush or bluebird.
Some day the turtle dove will come
under the same protection. Friends OF
birds think it is about time. There are
enough evil things in the world to kill
without harming the innocent.

OccupotionoI Deferments

Reiteration and clarification of
draft policies with respect to defer
ment of workers needed in defense
industries and of men preparing for
jobs essential to maintenance of the
national health, safety or other vital
services should serve to eliminate
much of the unfortunate confusion
which has attended handling Of the
problem of occupational deferments.
A lack of uniformity among draft
boards throughout the country in
dealing with this difficult question
has resulted in considerable criticism,
much of it we'll founded While some
boards we're deferring skilled me-
chanics because they felt that such
men could better serve their country
at their benches and latheS in de-
fense plants, other boards have
called these specialists from their
jobs and sent them to camp. Accord
ing to published reports, a number
of plants have been affected by loss
of key workers in this way. Such in
roads in the ranks of skilled person.
mel serve to aggravate the already
serious shortage of technicians and
other experts in private industry.
Selective service officials have
acted wisely in outlining anew gen.
eral policies designed to prevent as
far as possible any conflict between
the draft and the civilian defense
effort. These policies are twofold:
First, to avoid increasing the short
age of workers in defense plants, and
second, to avoid interference with the
training of persons for professions
or trades regarded as necessary to
the public welfare. Draft boards
have been instructed to recheck their
lists of men already called to active
duty In order to make certain that
