Bowling as Well as Grid Honors

Your first impression of Jack Ban
ia from Southern California Is that
he's cocky little squirt who's always
been Peck's bad boy in school. But
one glimpse of him on the football
field and you're glad he's playing
on your side instead of against it.
He can run, block or kick-all equally
we'll. He once averaged 48 yards
a punt in game against Stanford.
He started his football career with
Los Angeles High School and merely
shifted his higher education to
downtown L. A., where U. S. c. is To-
Gated. Banta averaged 3.5 yards
every time he carried the ball in his
senior year, but got as much of q
bang out of blocking as he did Of
advancing the ball himself.
Rugby and bowling with big pins
also occupied his time In college, the
singles championship Of the Pacific
Coast Conference going to him last
year when he won by maintaining
an average Of 1856. Despite playing
in two Rose Bowl games with the
Trojans and the recent all-star
game in Chicago, his biggest thrill
came in his sophomore year when

Young Ralph Bogart, 200 pounds
OF good golfer tthe boy friend has
been good enough to win three Dis
trict amateur championships in a
row has been a considerable source
of consolation to the links equip
ment manufacturers this year. 1t
might not be going TOO far to say
that Ralph has been responsible
for the sale from golf shops in and
around this town of several hun
dreds of dollars worth of clubs. balls
and other impedimenta of golf that
otherwise might be looking for a
purchaser.
1t comes about in this way: Ralph
has had great winning year. He
has been consistent performer in
all the tournaments and a winner
In a lot of them. Prizes for the
amateurs in all the Middle Atlantic
P. G.. A. Journeys and the one-day
affairs staged by the Maryland State
Golf Association are orders on the
home professional for golf mer-
chandise. Many time this year
Ralph, despite his husky stature.
has staggered away from golf
tournament under the weight of
bulky packages of golf balls. clubs
and other junk used in golf.
Has Won Much Merchandise.
Probably the Bogart youngster has
won several hundreds of dollars
worth Of equipment. We recall a
recent tourney at Columbia where
he won first amateur prize and was
second In the program. He took
away from that one enough golf
balls to keep the ordinary duffer
in rubber marbles for a year. From
another Baltimore tourney, he car
ried away some $50 worth of stuff,
and couple of days ago he won
a set of golf clubs in the Grosner
pro- amateur event. If Ralph wanted
to turn pro and set up a golf shop
himself (Which he doesn't intend to
do he could furnish a well-eouipped
shop on his winnings this year.
It's a cast iron cinch that his
personal expenditures in golf equip
ment this year have been meager.
Outside of caddie fees. travelling ex-
penSes and incidentals his spend
ing on golf stuff cannot have been
much, considering the winning sea-
son he has had. And the best OF
1t is that the whole thing is legiti-
mate. The U. S. G.. A. wouldn t
like 1t If Ralph converted some of
his winnings into cash. If they
heard about 1t he'd be branded a
pro at once. But an amateur win
ming merchandise prizes fits in with
U. S. G. A. ideas of keeping the
game sweet and above reproach.
