Roosevelt Five Does
Quick Comeback in
Defeating WI.

The generalization predicted after
Western upset Roosevelt last week
has failed to paterialize and the
Rough Riders have demonstrated
ability to return to winning form
with little effort.
No break in the smooth-scoring
pace of the Perlo-Ciango machine
was in evidence yesterday as the
Riders snapped back to down Wash
ington-Lee High. A-35. Roosevelt's
speedy opening drive earned 1873
edge in the first quarter and the
margin was increased in the second
before the reserves were sent into
action.
Only against the second team
were the Generals able to count
consistently as Rod Gaumnitz led
the losers with II points.
Hymie Perlo and Frank Ciango,
Roosevelt's consistent point getters;
Charles Howard, sophomore center,
and the Tom and George Robert
son brother act all took part in the
Rider scoring spree.

Pro Golf Is Depicting
Ranks Of Amateurs,
Says WiftyCox
Compassionate Mentor
Finds Youngsters Go
For Money, Not Cups

Trouble with the amateur golfers
today is there aren't enough of
them" WHY Cox talking. Don't
get me wrong" added the big Con-
gressional links master. II don't
mean that those who play in anna
teur tournaments are getting paid.
I mean the best amateurs are turn
ing pro. lured away from the chase
after silver mugs for something
more solid like the feel of those
frogskins in a fellows pocket"
Witty pointed to the long list OF
former amateurs who are topping
the pro parade and winning big
money as pro golfers. Men like
Guldahl, Nelson, Shute and Little

he said. THE pros would massacre
EN-. But do you know why?
THE reason is" said Cox, that
the pros are playing in high-class
competition all the time The ANA
teurs haven't anything like the year
round series of tournaments in
which the pros play. And If there
is one thing that makes good
golfer it is high-class competition.
A fellow gets rusty when he is out
of tournament play. He isn't keen
and his shotmaking gets sloppy.
But give him half a dozen big
tournaments under his belt, and If
he has anything, competition will
bring it out. There's nothing like
that old incentive to win to keep a
fellow at the top. The amateurs do
not have it. but the pros have
plenty.
And it's tough. I see where

Attack Again

LONDON, Jan. 3. (UP)-BrltlSh
planes, heavily bombing Bremen
during the night, started great new
fires which added to those still
burning from the British blitzkrieg
fire raid of the night before, the
air ministry said today.
Emden, important port and naval
base 70 miles west of Bremen at
the mouth of the Ems river, also
was heavily attacked.
Announcing the Bremen raid, the
air ministry said.
although last nights raid on
Bremen was not on the same scale
as wednesday nights attack, it
was again very successful. Large
new fires were started. Fires from
the previous night were still burn
ing and increasing. An early report
speaks of pilots who were unable
to observe bursts of bombs on ac-
count of flames.
The Emden attack was the 29th
of the war. 1t was believed that
shipping, docks, airdromes and oil
stores were bombed. Bremen has

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. CUP -
President Roosevelt, finding that
IAN extraordinary emergency ex-
ists," has suspended the eight hour
work day for government employees
constructing army and navy bases
at sites leased from Britain.
The executive order for the sus-
pension was signed on Dec. 81 and
published in the Federal Registe.
today.
The President emphasized that
the interest of the national de-
fense required the construction of
the bases at the earliest practic-
able date" He pointed out that the
eight-hour day limitation could be
suspended in the lease of extra
ordinary emergency"
Army and navy officials explained
that unders acts Of 1892 and 1912
employees in army arsenals and navy
yards are restricted in 40 hours a
week with provision that thev
can be employed as much as 4e
hours if they are paid overtime for
the additional eight hours. These
employees may not work more than
48 hours a week unless the Presi-
dent specifically finds an extra
ordinary emergency existing.
Mr. Roosevelt found these con-
ditions creating an extraordinary
emergency:
Whereas 1t appears that, unless
the eight-hour limitation is sus-
pended as to persons employed BY
the government upon such work
it will be impossible. because O.
