Al 19 Is New
Golf Threat
Only Child Of Links
Devotees Shoots 78
For Miomi Medal
BY JOHN WILDS,

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Jan. 81
A stalwart youngster with a golf
swing copied after that of her idol,
the late Marion Miley. is the newest
threat in the women's winter tour
nament program.
Nineteen year old Mary Jane
Garman of Sarasota crashed the Sc
lect circle which dominates resort
play yesterday by winning the medal
in the Miami Biltmore event over
such seasoned campaigners as
Dorothy Kirby, Louise Suggs and
Georgia Tainter.
Parents Both Are Golfers.
Proud of her 35-43-78. she vowed
to "go as far as I can" In match
play. She made her way to the
semifnals against virtually the same
field at Punta Gorda, Fla, last
week.
The only child of golfing parents
her father scores In the 70s and
her mother qualified in the third
flight here with a 95-Mary Jane
took up the game five years ago
and has improved steadily.
THE only trouble is she won't
practice consistently" declared her
mother, Mrs. Louis Garman.
Almost from the start she tried to
model her game after the stylish
play Of the late Miss Miley, who was
killed by robbers last summer.
Marion was Mary James IDOL"
Mrs. Garman said, "she visited her
at Lexington, KY, last year.
Long Irons Bother Her.
The tall, brunei player smacks q

But I'm making shots this year

Loser IN six out Of seven South

Still leader In individual effective
ness was Alabama's Louis Adair.
credited with IS field goals and 10
free throws for 80 points in 10

Hines, ranked fourth with So points.
Tennessee, sole unbeaten team In
conference competition, held the
lead in unof1icial team standings for
the first time. The Vols gained un-
disputed first place with decisive
victory over Auburn last week.
Alabama ranked second, Auburn
third and Kentucky fourth, the lat
ter advancing from 10th place q
week ago after wins over Georgia
and Georgia Tech. Each has lost
one game-to Tennessee. Bama
has beaten eight Of its possible II
conference opponents and goes to
Lexington a week hence for a two
game series with Kentucky which
may have bearing on the teams
ranking in the 1912 tournament at

On January IA, Loyola of Balti-
more beat Western Maryland in
an overtime basket ball game,
1898. Within the next week each
one beat Catholic U. by the same
score, so to 80, and the half-game
score in each game was 1920.
Odds-and some ends-Johnny
Risko, the old rubber man, tried
to join Gene Tunney's corps Of
Navy athletic directors but found
he wasn't eligible. Probably neg
