BY GEORGE HUBER.

A cut In the high school physical
education program for boys from
the five periods week put in effect
only last September to the former
program of only two periods of in
struction a week may be necessary
next fall, according to school Off
cials, who are exploring every angle
of the difficulties being brought
about by shortage of qualified in
structors.
Oddly, there has been little talk
OF any necessity of curtailing the
school competitive sports program.
The football schedule for next fall,
better than ever, already has been
approved all down the line. Some
school principals have expressed
fears that they wouldn't know what
to do should certain coaches enter
the service, but they will carry on
with what coaches are available.
The player shortage hardly will be
felt because one of the school ath-
letic rules is that boys over 18 can't
compete anyway. Teams in the past
have included many 16 and II year
olds.
With the ending of the school year
this month many of the coaches and
physical education instructors are
expected to go into the armed
forces. Hardy Pearce, head of the
department of health and physical
education, has been sworn in as a
lieutenant d. g. in the Navy and
will report July IS. No successor
to him has been named, according
to DR.. Chester W. Holmes, assistant
superintendent of schools. and it is
unlikely that one will be designated
until around July /, and possibly
much later.
There are too many angles to
explore before doing anything def
mite on some one to head the de-
partment," he said I'VE still are
trying to get deferments for some
of our men. II we lose only one or
two-which hardly seems likely-we
can continue just as we are doing
now. But if we lose from IS to 20
Of our IS men, which is not i'm
probable, then some reorganization
certainly will be necessary.
Maybe we won't even have a big
enough department to call for any
one in charge" he added. This, he
emphasized, is speculation only.
The old system of giving boys only
two periods of physical education
each week was termed inadequate to
prepare them physically for either
civilian or Army life by educators
and military men alike during the
campaign last year to increase the

pro has told PGA Secretary Gene
Larkin he wants one to date. Could
1t be that the boys don't like to
tote their clubs on a bus? The
woman golfers don't mind such little
chores. All but one out of an entry
list of So turned out for The Star
tournament last week and that one
had to work Nor are the man
amateurs bothered by using public
transportation to get to the course.
Craftsmanship of the committee
at Indian Spring to raise funds for
purchase of a mobile Red Cross
unit has been turned over to DR.,
A. L. UtZ, work horse of manv Jobs
at the Four Corners club. DR.. Utz
believes the club will be able, by
donations from golf Journeys and
other sources, to turn over the
unit by early fall. He says the
vehicle will have the name of the
club painted on it.
DR.. UtZ also heads the District
Golf Association and says that or
ganlzation is planning a mixed four
some tourney later in the season.
He would favor holding this event
at one of three clubs, Chevy Chase,
Columbia or Washington, all with
available public transportation.
Rock Creek Pets Play.
Burden of public links play will
go to Rock Creek Park or Anacostia
Park, now that East Potomac Park
has been closed because, according
to Concessionnaire Leoffler, I'VE
didn't get enough play to justify
keeping the course open" East Po-
tomac may remain closed for the
summer. Repairs to the damage
caused by last years flood are slated
for the layout in August from a
fund of s25,000 appropriated for
that purpose.
East Potomac for years has had
the biggest play of all public courses
in Washington, running as high as
100000 rounds in single year. 1t
is one of the five courses leased to
Leoffler under a contract due to
expire December 81, 1943.

He caught Wasserman flat-footed

Adair and Courtney battled for
two and one-half hours. Deciding
factor was Adair's powerful service.
Leading at Al in the third skirm-
ish, he seemed to ease up and Court
ney, quick to take advantage, deuced

to the net and with a burst of ag-
gressiveness went on to victory.

Transportation Toug but Cade Shortage Giving More Trouble to oHe
Washington Area Lax
In Seeking Solution;
West Gets Busy
Hopes to Enlist School
Authorities, Parents
In Solving Problem

Having trouble with your trans
portation to the golf club? The OPA
says you cannot use your car to get
to the club. But you get there just
the same, using any available means
of transportation. Many hundreds
of persons throng the local courses
every week end, arriving by bus,
streetcar, even delivery trucks, or in
the car of the pro, who can use his
automobile to get there.
Transportation is tough enough,
but the real rub is caddies. Yes. bag
toters to carry your heavy golf bag.
Time was, of course, when a golf bag
full Of clubs was not heavy. Thirty
years ago the usual kit contained
around six or seven clubs. Then
came matched sets of nine irons,
four woods and putter, IA in all.
Your golf bag stepped up to about a
so-pound job.
Along came the war and lot of
men and boys who made a few dol
lars carrying golf bags moved into
Jobs which paid better money. To-
day the caddie situation is a real
problem at most clubs. A lot of
people have been carrying their own
bags, unable to get caddies on busy
days. They've been helped by use
OF light canvas bags. and by dis
carding some of their armament of
clubs. The average golfer doesn't
play well enough to know how to
use IA clubs anyhow He could dis
pense with half OF them and play
better.
Little Is Done Here.
In this situation none of the golf
organizations functioning in this
territory has done much to help the
caoole problem. But the Western
Goif Association, long a leader in
caddle welfare work, believes the
caddle problem is its problem. Your
caddie problem for 1943 can be brief
ly stated" says the WGA. 'It is how
10 get caddies." So the WGA has
enlisted the enthusiastic co-opera-
tion OF the PGA and has developed
program Tor consideration by high
school authorities and parents to
urge boys to turn to caddying Pur-
poses are twofold: To see that vour
CLUB gets well-trained caddies: to
make sure the boys secure the great
est possible benefits to mind and
pody, In addition to earning money
Clean, wholesome caddie house
facilities should be provided: disci-
pine should be maintained. the
boys should till Victory gardens
and should have supervised health
program and capable instruction
All these are part of the WGA
caoole program, to be discussed with
parents and with school authori-
ties. Sell the plan to them-as q
good thing for boys, as well as for
the club" says the WGA.
There isn't much golf competition
any more and there won't be much
until Hitler yells uncle" But q
lot OF golf is being played, and a
lot OF people wish they had caddies
to tote their bags. Such a program
as that of the WGA might work
IN this territory 1t would 20 a long
way toward helping youngsters do
work which will benefit them and
the men who occasionally take an
afternoon off for needed exercise.

Worshom, Diffenbough Picked
Over Spencer, Rippy Today
Women Show More Spirit Than Golf Pros;
East Potomac Course May Stoy Closed

Cliff Spencer and Claude Rippy,
the undefeated pro- amateur COM
bine, are taking on a tough pair
this afternoon at 3 O'Clock, at Rock
Creek Park, when they meet Lew
Worsham and George Diffenbaugh
in Red Cross benefit match.
Worsham, holder of the Middle At
lantic PGA title, and Diffenbaugh
will go to the post the betting IA
vorites, but Rippy can be the most
potent factor in the matchs
Elongated Claude knows the Rock
Creek course forward and backward
and seldom is over 68 on that lay
out.
Spencer has been hopeful of get
ting Byron Nelson, 1889 Open cham
pion, here for a match, but there's
a rub. Nelson is at Toledo, Ohio,
and probably will come here without
charge. but also probably would ex-
pect his expenses to be paid If the
match is billed as Red Cross
benefit affair he won't get expenses,
for the Red Cross has a rule that
collections for such benefits must
be 100 per cent. Former Amateur
Champ Jesse SWeetser has been
suggested as one of the contestants
in this match.
Helen Dettweiler Does Okay.
Helen Dettweiler writes from
Avenger Field Sweetwater, Tex,
that she is about to complete ad-
vanced training on heavily powered
ships in her quest for flying wings
in the Womens Air Transport Com
mand. She has finished primary
training and now is in heavier
engined jobs. Some day soon she'll
get her wings and go looming over
the worlds airways delivering planes
and equipment to American fighting
men anywhere.
The local pros seem to have pulled
in their horns and apparently are
not going to take steps to boost
(by holding tournaments) the game
from which they make a living.
Although they voted in April to
hold some Journeys this year, no
