Older Golfers Shocked at Death Of Ernie Ford,
Noted Links Stylist
BY VI. r. DRUKENBROD

take a Jump in the lake. In fact,
Ernie actually seemed 10 take
pride in the swing because il was
so different and one often won
dered if at times he didn't eXag-
gerate some OF its peculiarities
Just for the heck of il, TO confound
| further some OF the puristS.
The swing produced excellent
results for him and, being an in
telligent golfer, that was all that
lmattered as far as he was con-
cerned. A long hitter and capable
of low scoring, he was a formid-
able opponent for any one when he
was younger and at the peak OF
his game.
He and his brother Fred, pro-
lfeSsional at Tam O. Shanter of
this district, for years made a
formidable combination. While at
Kansas City, where they were To-
Gated before coming TO Detroit,
they teamed TO gain the first vic
tory scored over the late Harry
Vardon and Ted Ray when the
star BritonS were touring this
country.
Ernie was successful as a golf
teacher. Among his pupils when
he was at Kansas City was Mrs.
Opal S. Hill, who later gained
prominence in international golf
Ernie not only gave Mrs. Hill her
first lessons, but also made her
first golf clubs.
Ernie served his golf apprentice
ship at ST. Andrews in Scotland
and later succeeded his father as
professional at the Burnham and
Borrow club. The father still lives
in England.
Besides the widow, there also is
a son, Stanley, who lives in Flint.
One season when Ernie was at
Oakland Hills. Stanley, then a
high school golfer, won the district
championship.
Funeral services will be held
Thursday at 1920 a. m. at the
Algoe Gundry Mortuary in Flint. y

Golf loses an individualist in the
passing of Ernie Ford, 58-year-old
professional at Flint Country Club,
who died suddenly Monday of a
heart attack at his home.
The little Englishman. who was
professional at Plum Hollow and
Oakland Hills before going TO
Flint in 1890, was well known and
we'll liked by older Detroit golfers.
News of his death shocked them.
Ernie employed his own methods
in swinging a golf club. Frankly,
his swing differed very much from
that prescribed by the so-called
best golf books. He gripped well
down on the club and his finish
was marked by an unusual flourish
of the club. Remember?
If any one didn't like the looks
of the swing. though, they could go

GOT THROUGH LINE

In that night game. Detroit at
tempted 10 passes and completed
seven for "a yards. Twice, within
Manhattan's 20-yard line, passes
failed. Ted Pavelec's place-kicks
for the extra point and field goal
were blocked, which indicates the
Jaspers lost no time in getting
through. And they're coming here
Saturday with a veteran club.
just how much the Titans
have improved in protecting their
passers will be determined today
when they scrimmage the fresh
men. Tom Senffner, pal of Ma
darik's from Joliet, Ill. and Ed
Cichoraeki of Hamtramck, half
backs, are cutting fancy capers
with the froSh.
When it was mentioned yeSter-
day they both looked ready for
the varsity now. Dorais not only
agreed, but added he wished he
had them for the rest of this sea-
son. Dorais' son, Tom, is garter
back and Jim Risdon of u. of d.

Invade the Illinois stadium for the
annual Illini homecoming game
Saturday afternoon.
According to Walter (Mush)
Crawford, Illini scout who has
seen Michigan play regularly this
season, those two do most of the
ball carrying. hence will be closely
watched by the Illini.
The majority of regulars who
worked against the Irish last Sat
lurday were again allowed TO take
things easy in yesterdays drill.
Joe Pawlowski, right guard, is
expected TO be released from a
South Bend hospital today, but it's
unlikely he will be able to play,
The starting line depends upon
whether Elmer Engel is available.
IL Engel can play, Bob Wilson will
go back to left guard, releasing
Tom Mccullough for right guard
If Engel cannot play, Mccullough
will remain at left guard with
Alex Agase, a likely possibility for
right.
Yves Tregoning, an end chris

likely to figure in Saturdays
game. Tregoning pleased Zuppke
at Notre Dame. He was one of the

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-Three days
of exercises by the Air Defense
Command-in which thousands of
volunteer observers acted as spot

shown the Northeastern seaboard
lis vulnerable to enemy invasion by
air from the seas" an Army major
general said today.
The four-day tests, added Gen.
T. A Terry. commanding officer of

were step in overcoming this vul-
nerability.
In an interview during an in
spection of the Air Defense Center
at Boston. he asserted that the
industrial Eastern area needs more
airplanes, more airports and more
anti-aircraft batteries than it now
has" The aircraft warning system
now being tested also was needed,
he said, to offset the possibility that
enemy craft based on airplane
carriers at sea, might move in on
the area"
Meanwhile, at Mitchell Field, head
quarters of the Air Defense Com

commanding the 1st Army, approved

Defense Commissioner Leon Hen

were too high and that unless the
situation was improved he would
recommend Government price fix
ing.
I'VE can get lumber" Mr., Hen
derSon said. The Government can
get all it wants by fixing a price
and having the commander in chief
of the Army and Navy forbid any
payment of higher prices We can
then use the Selective Service Act
to draft lumber the same as we are
drafting men.
"As far as I'm concerned I'm 60
ing to make that recommendation
unless the situation improves"
Mr.. Henderson addressed meet
ing of the Lumber and Timber
Products Defense Committee, which
is composed of 46 trade associations.
The meeting was called by the
lumbermen after Mr.. Henderson

Taxi Dance Halls Without Evils

The suggestion was made by
Archie Edwards, president of the
Federal Employees Recreation

Agencies, at the Y. w. c. A.
Discussing plans for providing
recreation for an estimated 5000
men expected to visit Washing

The most pressing problem is
dancing. Something along the
jitterbug line is what these fel-
lows want. OF course, the hall
must be run right, but something
like the old taxi dance hall is
what is needed.

Reich Reported
To Have Acted

Viehy's Ambassador
At Toxic to Make
Arrangements
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
VICHY, France, Jan. 23-The
government announced today it had
accepted Japanese offers of media
ton in the undeclared border war
fare between French Indo-China
and Thailand (Siam).
The French Ambassador to Toxic
has been intruSted with the ar
rangement of ways and means of
mediation with the Japanese gov
ernment, the announcement said.
The Japanese offer to mediate
was made January 81, the govern
ment said. 1t added that direct
conversations have been going on
for some time between the French
Charges dAffaires- at Bangkok,
Thailand. and the Thai govern
ment, but said the mediation offer
was accepted "in view of the ex-
listing friendly relations between
France and Japan"
An authoritative source said that
certain French colonial leaders had
been pressing for United States
mediation in the conflict and that
request for Japanese intervention
had been made at the suggestion OF
Berlin in order to exclude any
American influence.
The announcement of acceptance
of Japanese mediation was not made
by the Indo-China government,
which previously had taken the
stand that no outside intervention
was wanted.
On several occasions informed
French sources have charged that
Japan was supporting Thailand in
the border conflict.
Sporadic fighting along the border
began last September, after Indo-
China refused Thailands demands
for extensive territories in the west
ern provinces of Laos and Cambodia.
It assumed the character of major
warfare soon after the first OF this
year, with large Thai forces invad-
ing o-China.

MANILA, Jan. 23-Testimony
that two civilians on trial for es-
pionage made an unsuccessful ef-
fort to sell maps of strategic defense
areas to the japanese Consul Gen.
eral here was given in court today
by Anis Geppe, undercover agent
for the Philippine Army.
The prospective purchaser of the
maps never before had been brought
out in the case. Capt. Rufo Romero
of the Philippine Scouts, convicted
by general court martial last
November of conspiring to sell mill
tary information, had testified he
did not know of any foreign power
that was interested in the maps.
The civilians, Mariana Cabrera
and Ignacio Agbay, were arrested
along with Romero.
+ Geppe-testifled that when Cabrera
and Agbay approached the Japanese
Consul he demanded they produce
some one in whom he could have
confidence. They failed to do so,
Geppe said, and that ended the pro-
posed deal. Agbay, he added, told
him about the alleged deal.

And it's much better that they

arrangements could be made
where the girls would not have
to pay anything and that the
