Fame Inspires
ST. Paul Open
.P|ayoff Foes
Harrison and Hurbert
Climb Golf Ladder:
Birdie Finish Ties
BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


ST. PAUL. Aug. 3.-Two Of golf's
"H' boys, Chick Harbert and Dutch
Harrison, climb around the rugged
Keller public links in an 18-hole
playoff for the st. Paul Open golf
championship today and the 81 1000
that goes with first place. They
finished all square Sunday with $50
strokes each-eight under par-at
the end OF the regulation u holes.
Probably more important to them
than the coin is the title, which will
advance the fortunate winner farther
up the ladder to fame.
Both, Harbert of Battle Greek,
Mich, and Harrison, the Arkansas
traveller working out of Harrisburg,
Pa, have been tabled by their COM
patriots as the up-and-coming
golfers of the day-players whose
names some day might rest beside
those of Ben Hogan, Craig Wood,
Byron Nelson and others in the fam
clan.
Both Former Texas Champs.
Therefore. an additional punch
has been added to this playoff. Both
boys are former Texas Open cham
pions, the 27-year-old Harbert win
ming it this year in a playoff with
Hogan, and Harrison taking it
in 1888. Both have figured In quite
a bit of prize money during their
comparatively short bids for places
in polfS front ranks
Harbert-he's the guy who whistles
while he putts-was four strokes be-
hind the leader, Gene Kunes Of
Philadelphia, as the field entered
the last So holes yesterday and three
behind Harrison. On the first ~
holes Of the day Harbert stood 5
under par after firing a 68 and turn
ing in a IS on the first nine in the
afternoon. With nine holes remain

shuttle while Kunes faded badly to
leave the gate open.
But Harrison settled down to shoot
three straight brides at the start
OF the last nine, while Harbert also
fashioned two brides, but nulhhed
them with pair of bogies to post
36 for II. Coming up to the last
green, Harrison needed a birdie
to tie. He got it by pitching s feet
from the cup and holing the putt
for a dazzling 80 and q SO for the
round.
Jimmy Hines missed q 6-foot putt

New A. U. Coach, Due
Today, Will Focus
On Basket Ball
Extensive IntrumuruI
Setup Also PIunned
By Don Cooper

Don Cooper, American University's
new director Of athletics, was ex-
pected to arrive in Washington to-
day. His immediate program was
to plan with DR.. Paul F. Douglass,
president of the school, the develop
ment Of large varsity basket ball
schedule and an extensive intra-
mural program.
Cooper, who comes from Beloit
College, also wanted to continue
football. but the university's Board
of Trustees found it was impossible
to continue that sport for the dura-
ton because Of the transportation
problem and cancellation OF about
half the A. U. schedule Cooper,
however. is top football man, ac-
cording to DR.. Douglass, and A. U.
had plenty of manpower for that
sport had the trustees thought 1t
advisable to continue.
The new athletic director. named
last May when Staff Cassell shifted
to Morningside College In Iowa,
made a name in basket ball at Beloit
after similar distinction at the Uni
versity of Kansas. In six years his
teams at Beloit won six Central
Conference championships.
The Eagles are planning the most
ambitious basket ball program in
their history. DR.. Douglass SAID
this morning they will have at least
Is games and possibly as many as
30. The school has an exceptionally
large male enrolment and q good
team is expected.
Main feature In sports, though,
will be a model intramural program.
Cooper not only Is a football and
basket ball expert, but also is re-
garded highly as a track, boxing and
wrestling coach, and these sports
undoubtedly will have important
parts in the program. According to
preliminary plans outlined by the
school president, Cooper will be as
sisted by seniors in the intramural
program.

Mrs. Gray built up a commanding
So lead In the second set before
Mrs. Herbert got back on the beam.
The eventual loser reduced the
margin to 5-4 with a barrage of nice
placements before Mrs. Gray leaned
into the ball with suflicient power
to take the set. But even then
Willie's cause did not seem lost.
Mrs. Gray Almost Careless.
Mrs. Gray. however, came back in
the same, carefree, almost careless
manner in the deciding set after a
10-minute intermission to chalk up q
40 lead before Willie came to life.
And when Mrs. Herbert did get down
to business she touched of a battery
Of brilliant firecrackers. She won
three consecutive games and had
her opponent down, 30-40, before
tossing away grand opportunity to
tie the match. At this stage she
seemed overly anxious to ward off
defeat and the extra power she put
on the ball took its toll in control
Mrs. Gray was to resume her quest
for glory today in the Women's
Tennis League touprnament which
opened yesterday on the reservoir
courts, but Mrs. Herbert evidently
intended to take rest.

Ford Has Busy Day
There is one man in this vast indus
trial empire whom Producer sorensen
addresses rs "mister'-Henry Ford,
the founder. At 70, Mr.. Ford Is still
exceedingly active. He arises at in the
morning, spends much time in his lab-
oratory in Greenfield Village. But the
worker, whether In the Rouge, Highland
Park or Willow Run, knows that Mr..
Henry IS likely to pop up right nsxt to
his shoulder at any time. Mr.. Ford
retains his old custom Of always step
ping in and out OF car while " - IN
motion. Both he and his car are on
the 60.
Ford in war is called upon to double
his tremendous efforts of peacetime. He
seems equal to the task. For engineers,
originators Of assembly line methods,
have cut their teeth on the warplane
and are in bomber construction in big
way. The Army Is ready for Ford. Hun
dreds OF Air Forces men are camped
in huge hangar at Willow Run to take
the giant Liberators as they roll from the
assembly line and fly away to far-hung
battle fronts.

other plants would have slowed up pro-
duction Of military, transport and trainer

So Ford sent his engineers in shifts
to the Consolidated plant to learn the
mysteries of aircraft design, the way of
the tools used in making planes. Ford
"humbled himself" before much smaller

gram was not completed; it still goes on.
proved about IS Ford conceived opera
tions for speeding the fabrication of air.
planes. New machines shorten the time
in some instances from matter of days
to fraction of an hour by combining
many operations as one. Conversely, Ford
has broken down many conventional
major aircraft assembly operations into
smaller ones. In this way each worker is
made specialist with one small, though
important job to do. 1t is another appli-
cation of automobile mass production
methodS TO the Warplane.
Many skeptics over the country have
doubted the ability of Ford to mass pro-
duce planes on Willow Runs auto-like
assembly lines. Their chief argument was
that the Ford plan was not flexible, the
plant could not be adapted quickly to
changes In design ordered by the Army.
Mr.. Sorensen says Willow Run possesses
t1exibility to meet any change, though
production naturally would be slowed in
the adaptation period.
Ford has built planes before though not
since 1880. His three-engine corrugated
ship was familiar to all in the early days
of air transport. Mr.. Sorensen said the
old Ford transports were still used ex-
tensively in Europe when he made his
last trip abroad some three years ago.
Mr.. Sorensen probably knows as we'll as
any one the production ability of Nazi
Germany and our other enemies in
Europe. Before the war he had charge of
Ford plants on the continent as we'll as
the ones in this country. He made count
less inspection trips abroad He thinks
America can outproduce the Axis with
speed to spare.
Future Optimistic
Incidentally, the Ford genius says this
country las done a good job in war pro-
duction SO far. He regards the future with
nothing but optimism. During our inter-
view, he was shown a newspaper clipping
in which he was mentioned as possible
successor to Donald Nelson as head of
the War Production Board. He dismissed
the suggestion with a shrug. saying he
thought he was of much more value in
Detroit than he would be in Washington
