Slaminin' Sam Finds It's

Rv ROMNEY WHEELER

AUGUSTA, Ca, Apr. i VII -
Sam Snead playing average Snead
golf is an attraction of any course,
but Sam Snead playing barefoot
in the Augusta Masters golf tour
ney would be something cyclonlc.
1t was Freddie Corcoran's idea,
and Sam seconded. He came off
the fast Augusta National course
today with a 68 in practice for
the Masters, opening Thursday.
"You should kick off h e

tournament manager. Remember
you played five holes in practice
in your socks before the Canadian

Snead rolled up his l a C k S,

wiggled his toes in the soft grass.
"You know" he chuckled, 'it

Then he walked to the first tee,
and whipped a screaming drive
down the fairWay.
Honestly, I'm telling you the
TRUTH" he said. IT feel better
when I stand up to the ball in
my bare feet. Those thick-soled
shoes keep you too far off the

He was on the green in two,
and dropped putt from 8 feet
for a birdie three.
II haven't been as close to a
hole in two for five years." he
chortled as he retrieved the ball.
Then he stepped across to the
ninth tee and sent another drive
down the fairway. He dropped or
the green with his approach, and
barely missed a 30-footer to take
par four.
''I think I'll wear sandals in the
tournament" he remarked, "and
shoot barefoot"
Meanwhile defending Champion
Craig Wood put the boys on no.

Mississippi Sports To Depend On Fan Support
BOARD APPROVES
FAN UNSUPPORTED
ATHLETIC SET-UP
Coaches Agree That Sala-
ries May Be First Item
Cut If Program Fails

JACKSON, Miss, April 7.-P)-
intercollegiate sports competition by
Mississippi's public colleges will de-
pend'entirely on the fans support OF
the fall football program, commit
tee of the State College Board de-
cided tonight.
A proposal that competitive sports
be abandoned Immediately for the
duration of the war was shelved by
the investigating committee In favor
of new policy making all athletic
expenditures, including practically
the whole fund for coaching salaries,
depend entirely on gate receipts.
State Senator Means Johnston.
who several weeks ago proposed the
wartime abandonment, said today
the coaches had agreed to the ar
rangement, with the additional pro-
visions that a compulsory athletic
program for all students be institut-
ed and that in the event of curtail-
ment because of failing revenue,
salaries would be the first item cut.
Board members explained that I'M
der the new policy the state would
guarantee no athletic expenditures
out of general educational funds ex-
cept that portion of the head coach's
salary at each institution represent
ing compensation as professor of
physical education.
In the past coaches and their as
sistants have been paid faculty
salaries out of educational funds and
additional sums out of gate receipts.
The committees action is not final
until ratified by the full board, but
it seemed certain that this body, due
to meet in the latter part of the
month, would support the decision
of the group.

Real Race Will Be Between
Boston And Chicago For
Second, Writer Says
BY JUDSON BAILEY

NEW YORK, April 7.-R)-The
major league clubs have been groom
ing themselves for six weeks in
preparation for the opening of the
season next Tuesday and in the
American league, at least, not one
has shown enough to make fans ex-
pect any real change from last
years standings.
There were ties for two spots in
1941 and a total of only five games
separated fourth and seventh places.
This congestion probably will be
cleared out, but the race in the
junior league again shapes up on
the familiar pattern of the New
York Yankees swooping to victory
and the other seven clubs scramb
ling to make the best out of what
is left.
The war may be the desisive factor
in how the teams eventually line up
behind the Yanks. The draft al.
ready has reached into baseball s
ranks for various key men and
seems certain to take others during
the summer. Just as important will
be the way attendance is affected

CHIEF LONE WOLF
WILL MEET WHITE
HERE ON FRIDAY
Promoter Causey Says He
Anticipates Plenty Of
Action On This Card

Making an impressive showing
here last week, the fast and versatile
Chief Lone Wolf, Oklahoma Indian,
will appear here again on the
wrestling card to be presented Fri
day night in Thalian Hall under
the auspices of Bert Causey, promo.
ter.
This time he will oppose Ed
Stranger White, former Alabama
football star, who twice saw action
in the Rose Bowl when the Crimson
Tide was being coached by Wallace
Wade. The match is scheduled for
the best two out of three falls with
a sixty minute time limit. and ac.
cording to Causey, ''it should be
a whiz-bang.'
The main event will bring togeth-
er Sailor Barto Hill, grappler who
is unusually popular here, and Stan.
ley Pinto, ragged Lithuanian, whose
tactics in the ring indicate that he
will make it rough and tumble af-
fair from the beginning.
Hill also is one of those types
who rough it in the ring and with
two such rugged veterans matched
against one another, the promoter
says it should afford plenty of ac.
tion from the starting gong until
the finish. 1t is scheduled for two
out of three falls with ninety min.
ute time limit.
In declaring ladies night the
promoter said, I believe in the la.
dies attending wrestling matches. It
is something that offers them an op'
portunity to relax and forget their
troubles throughout the day! Each
lady accompanied by a male escort
will be admitted free.
Doors at Thalian hall will open
at 7:15 o'clock with the first match
going on at $40 o'clock, and judging
from the advance sale of tickets
the promoter says he expects a ca
pacity audience.

Manpower Problem

BY PETER EDISON

Biggest difficulty abount under
standing'the manpower problem Is
that no one has any accurate fig
ures. The census OF 1910 is ac-
curate. but two years old. In
that time, millions Of people have
changed their Jobs and places of
residence. So in trying to strike a
balance sheet on what manpower
resources the country has and
what the requirements will be.
only the toughest of estimates can
be given on most figures and they
may be a million wrong. either
way.
Making the best guess possible.
however, the War Manpower Com
missions figures shake down TO
something like this:

otherwise. Gas tax revenues will
