 Chicago, July g. - (UP) - The only phase of the three decker all- American Golf tournaments which doesn't require disciple of Einstein to figure out began today when By ron Nelson of Toledo, Ohio, teed off in the Sl0,0O0 open. He rated the title-favorite as a field of 200 started play in the 72-hole medal test.
 Nelson won the all-American crown in 1941 with an aggregate of 278 and repeated last year when he scored a brilliant 67 over a water soaked course to defeat Clayton Heather of Spartanburg, N. C., in an 18-hole play-off.
 While the war has cut heavily ! into professional golf ranks most of the games "big name" stars are present. Heather, now sergeant in the Army, is back to challenge Nel- son again.
 Able Contenders Other top-flight contenders who were exempted from yesterday $ qualifier include Jimmy Demaret of Detroit; former national open titliSt Ralph Guldahl of San Diego, Cal. Leonard Dodson of Kansas City; Johnny Bulla of Chicago; Chick" Harbert, the rising young Battle Creek, Mich, star; the Turnesa brothers, Joe and Mike; Harry, Cooper of Minneapolis, Mlnn.; and "Old Guard" standard bearers like Walter Hagen of Detroit and Gene Sarazen, Brookfeld Center, Conn.
 Orville White, Winston Salem, N. C., became title threat when he shot 70 yesterday in the pre- liminary test to win a prize of $50.
 White had a 37 on the outgoing nine, but then shot a sizzling 33 on the back side for his two under par total
 Johnny Palmer, 25-year-old Badin, N. Y, shotmaker and the vetrean John Rogers of Denver, tied for second place with 71's and split a prize of $100.
 Scores of 83 or better qualified the pros for competition in the regulation open.
 Close At Top
 In the women's open former na- tional amateur champion Betty Hicks was the leader with a 79. Patty Berg, Minneapolis, Minn., was second with an 80. The 18 feminine qualifiers also start their 72-hole test today
 Sailor Bill Chambers of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and Milford Wehrle of Racine, Wis, paced the amateur field through double elimination round. The field, now cut to 16, plays two more rounds today.
 The chief casualty among the favorites in the first two rounds was Steve Kovach, the highly regarded tarentum, Pa, star, who fell before Harold Mathisen of Chicago, 1 up.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. Office ) By OSCAR FRALEY

United Press Staff Ccrrespondent) New York, July 22-(UP)-The sanctity of the old school tie is threatened today by the Nays V-12 program and the impending blot on the hallowed college escutcheon is due for a wordy barage when ath- letic directors of 75 colleges gather here next week.
 Schools designated to train the future tars considered themselves fortunate recently when the Army banned participation in intercol- legiate athletics for the soldiers to be. The Navy was in favor of such a program and there was much re- joicing in the sailor made schools. But very suddenly the schools find themselves-particularly in the aus tere Ivy league-in the position of having to bear by the tail.
 Oh, My!
 Consider the predicament of the tradition bound university where to gain admittance in former years you had to have an ancestor who rowed stroke on the Mayf1ower. Many of them wouldn't play against the hoi polloi, the lads from the other side of the tracks, in those halcyon days. But now, thanks to the Navy, they are going to have to play on the same team with them-when they can make the varsity.
 Contemplate the dismay of the old grad at the homecoming game for a university in the vicinity of Boston. There was day up there when the Cabots spoke only to the Lodges and the Lodges spoke only to God. And there was revered prac- tice of keeping the old schools po- sitions-end to end and quarterback to fullback-in the same family from generation to generation.
 Then came the war. The Navy assigned men to the universities for specialized training. Many of these men are from the fleet, the open shirt collar kind who laid aside coal miners picks and pitchforks to en- list. Now, for a while, they'll go to college and, while there, have time for football.
 The schools recognize this blow to the morale of the old guard. The shock of having a guy named Czher- yvsko from Scranton in at quarter back in a place of lodge. They're worried over whether to give that revered letter to some lad who flunked out of fresh mackerel high school in his freshman year.
 Program
 So in the program for the annual convention of athletic directors, sponsored by the central office for Eastern Intercollegiate Athletics, lists the following question for dis cussion:
 Although college teams will play under aegis of their athletic asso- citations, should they take to the field under the name of Camp Kingsbridge' or Fort Kingsbridge' rather than 'Kingsbridge College or University of Kingsbridge?' and should the same insignia and other awards be granted to team members in wartime as in ordinary seasons?"
 Asa Bushnell, who directs the central office, is one of those who refuse to be intimidated. The quiet spoken Bushnell is Gin favor of all normal procedure" working on the theory that the lad who is willing to "dies for dear old Rutgers" should be recognized, whether his blood is blue or red. The majority probably will rule, so the odds are that the old school tie will dangle from many an open shirt collar after the last goal posts are torn down this fall.

New Haven, Conn, July 21-With the Summer season opener less than three days away, Yale base ball coach Robert (Red) Rolfe was uncertain of the lineup he would use against the strong Hamilton Standard Propellers Club of East Hartford. The game will be played Saturday at at Yale Field.
 Rolfe has uncovered talent with a lot more batting punch than members of his spring team had, and the college club is expected to meet the Capital City industrial nine on equal terms.
 The Yale mentor has four pitch CTS who have shown up well so far in workouts, and any one of the quartet is liable to get the call for mound toll against the propeller men.
 They are Bill Oooper) Cahill, a rangy right-hander who was Rolfe'S mainstay during the Spring season; Ed Machaj, who turned in some good performances for Andover, but did not play at Yale last year be- cause of bad knee; Jack Setright, a southpaW who was used for re- lief work during the spring; and J. s. Wilcox, a tall untried Freshman, who may develop.
 l Behind the plate Veteran Dave Lockhart is being pressed hard by Norm Felske, who played last year at Trinity and in addition to being a prety fair sort of backstop is a fairly good hitter.
 Competition
 The infield will probably shape up with Ed Goodspeed, captain of the Spring team and a converted out fielder at first; Mike Stimola, a honey of a defensive man, at sec ond; Billy Sadowski, another former Wesleyan boy who is enrolled here in the Marine Reserve program, at short; and Captain Ken Raynor at third.
 SadoWSki, however, and even Ray nor are going to have to hustle to hold down their posts, because Rolfe has Al Grenert, another Marine, to stick in at the hot corner. Also a likely candidate for short is Dick Mathews, 17-year-old Freshman from Leonia, N. J.
 At the same time, Goodspeed may be forced to give way at the initial sack to Bob ziegler or Lou DeAn- gelis, both of whom have looked good to Rolfe.
 The Yale coach expects to get his real plate punch from his outfield, which at present appears to be Tommy Smith, Sam Mele and John Simmons, the latter two former

 Notes
 The Cadets are unbeaten in five games but the race is far from over yet. Three teams are tied for sec ond. the Trojan Lads, Phi Lambdas and Overlooks and the season is young yet.
 In the lower bracket with nary a victory to their credit are the Bouley Manors, Pine Hills and Pan- thers. However, all are improving as the weeks roll by and any Sunday may see the trio upsetting some of the top clubs.
 The Bouley Manors, losers of five home Sunday when they meet the Pine Hills at Hamilton Park, No ? at 1:30. Many fans from the Manor will be on hand to lend their encouragement to the boys who are giving good account of themselves in spite of the odds. Best pitching performance of last weekend was Joe Pepe's sutout of the Caissons as the Overlooks won 4 to o. Joe allowed only four hits and struck out 13,
 Ed Corey of the Enkcors also turned in a four-hitter as Mario Generali's "belting beauties" levelled the Pine Hills, l3 to 3.
 The Cadets lose two of their first stringers before next game as Ugo D'Agostino and Bob McInerney join the Navy this week.
 Teams may add new players to their rosters until the completion Of the ninth game on their sched- ules as long as the names are filed with league secretary Bill Derwin.
