WOOD CROWDED TO KEEP LEAD
 IN GOLF MEET
Nelson and Little in Posi-. ton to Catch New York
 Professional
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff COrrcspOndent)

Augusta, Ga, April 5-(UP) - A majority of the winners in the past seven masters gold champion- ships have come from behind at the halfway mark to snatch the title and two of the best stretch runners in the game are just far enough off the pace today to beat Craig Wood under the wire.
 Wood, who hopes to live down his reputation as the great runner up," held a three stroke lead over his nearest challenger when the third round started today. His sec- ond straight sub-par round, a one. under 71, added to his scintillatine first round 66, gave him a 36-holt total of 137.
 In the best position to give Craig a run down the stretch are professional champion Byron Mel. son and open champion Lawson Little. Both picked up ground yes. terday and they have the heart and the equipment to push Woot all the way.
 The official betting price is ever money against Wood winning the title; 2-1 against Nelson and 3-1 against Little.
 Nelson was three under par with 8 69 yesterday.
 Little gained @ stroke on the long driving blond from Mamaro. neck, N. Y, with @ second rount 70.
 Fourth choice ill the betting now is Ben Hogan who is six strokes off the pace along with five others at 143. The bookies, however, feal Hogan like none Of the others ane have set the price at 6-1.
 At least one question, and tn, one asked most here: "What ar, Bobby Jones' chances?" has beer settled. Making his only tourna, ment appearance in the Master. each year, Jones has carded 76-74. 150, which leaves him tied for 26tf place.

THORPE WANTS MORE PUMPING
 IN GRID GAME
Indian Opposed to Present Regulations Involved in
 Naturalizing Tribesmen
(BY GEORGE T. DILLON

Emphasizing 1t was not propa- ganda, Jim Thorpe, five-eighths 1n- dian, two-eighths Irish and one- eighth French, appealed to a hand- full of listeners at the Central Y last evening to pray for the day when Redskins are made citizens outright in these United States, their home land. | '1~lEl
 The once greatest athlete in the universe, little changed in looks since he played here 15 years ago as a member of Hartford and Wor- cester in the Eastern Baseball league, but woefully changed for the worst as far as physical condition is concerned, described the intrica- cies an Indian must undergo to be- come naturalized in this country which he inferred were superfluous.
 Thope, with the colorful back ground he has, plus the fact that he is fluent speaker, was none too impressive for a paid audience. His address was plenty short and inco- herent. Several incidents he re- lated would have made more in- delible marks on the minds of his listeners had he remained on that respective sport instead of jumping from track to football and baseball to boxing.
 He described his football accom- plishments at Carlisle and baseball feats with the Giants, Braves and Reds and attributed his athletic downfall to participation in Dusty league in South Carolina one sum- mer while college star. "You know how 1t Is with a collegian," he said, "he plays for gasoline money on the side."
 "What I'd like to see is more kick ing in football today, because when one thinks of football, he naturally thinks of kicking" he added. "Base- ball is a wonderful vocation, but it must be taken up early. I advocate basketball and tack for both girls and boys and hope that my four sons, the eldest IA and the young est 3, go in strongly for physical education" continued the Okla homan, born May 28, 1888.
 The guest lecturer was asked at an open forum following his talk, If Bonnie Reagan, who portrayed the role of the immortal George Gipp in the cinema, "Knute Rockne, All-Ameican," actually did the bunting in the picture or someone else. Hesitating momentarily, Thorpe answered that the kicking was his. not Reagans. Thorpe. you know, was technical advisor for that Warmers Brothers production.
 John "Chick" Kelley, sports edi- tor of the American, very appro- priately introduced the guest speak CT who wound up his evenings work autographing for youthful admirers.
 Among Thorpe's listeners were Jimmy Lee, Wilby coach: 'Dutch" Forst of Seymour, football ofiicial; Al Nellie, local baseball umpire; Ed- die Hart of Cheshire, former Brass co first baseman: Alden White Cheshire academy basketball coach; {; and Joe Cosgrove, former Brassco centerfielder whom Thorpe was ad- vertised to race around the bases at Brassco park quite few years back when the Indian played for the Hartford Senators, but who didn't get the chance when the Redskin refused.

Violent Controversy
Open Windows at Night
Were Banned and Men
Started Getting Colds
By CARTER BROOKE JONES
Star SteFs Correspondent.

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
March 10.-These modernistic con-
trivances Americas new Army has
acquired are not always what they
are cracked up to be.
For instance. at the moment the
novel air-conditioning system in
barracks of the 29th Division, which
has replaced stoves, is the subject
of rather violent controversy. Ex-
periments are under way to de-
termine how healthy and efficient
the new system is.
Nobody wants to 60 back to stoves
except, perhaps, few disgruntled
veterans, who think the Army, is
going soft-but many have queS-
toned whether those overhead con-
duits that run throughout the bar
racks will do everything claimed for
them.
When the division moved in. the
men were told not to open their
windows at night. 1t was explained
the big pipes not only heated the
barracks, but pumped in nice fresh
air.
Complaints and Colds Start.
But men began to complain of
getting up in the morning with dry,
rough throats. And, while there
were few cases of serious illness.
there was an increasing number of
colds-too many, some Of the med
icaI officers felt.
One colonel, who had remarked
that he'd be something -other If
he'd sleep with his windows closed,
boldly ordered his regiment, as an
experiment. to lower them a little
after taps.
The to-do reached the division
commander, Maj Gen. Milton A.
Reckord, and he inquired into the
heating system. He said. then, that
he was not satisfied with the way
the thing was working. The colonel
was quite right, in his opinion. They
