PGA Likely 10 Adopt
Medal Play System,
'Fairest' Golf Test
By the Associated Press.

by tlc ASnOGidbcd Tlcsss
SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 23.-Has
the annual National Professional
Golfers Association championship
been held on match play basis for
the last time? Will the pros switch
their private links party-only mem
bers in good standing play in this
big one-over to 72-hole medal
play tournament, like the United
States Open?
The answers to these questions
haven't been framed yet, but the
answer may be yes" when members
of the PGA Executive Committee
get into their yearly huddle. There
is one player in particular who
would like to see match play COM
petition dumped out of the tourna-
ment.
His name is Byron Nelson and he's
the man from Toledo, Ohio, who
was beaten, l up, here a few days
ago by Bob Hamilton, Evansville,
Ind, in the 36-hole finals of the
1914 championship. Nelson didn't
air his opinion on the respective
merits of match play and medal
play publicly or loudly or bitterly.
He merely confided: Match play is
not true test Of golf. I'm in favor
OF changing the championship to a
medal play event"
He's not alone, either. You can
write down the same sentiments for
Craig Wood, United States Open
champion. and Ed Dudley, president
of the PGA, and other top-ranking
golfers.
Nelson has pretty good argument
about match play not being true
test. The recent PGA championship
offers the illustrations
Had the tournament been held on
medal play basis. Nelson would have
won by a country mile. He shot 1876
holes in 30 strokes under the par
requirements of the Manito course.
The man who beat him in the
finals, Hamilton. was IL under par
for 205 holes, yet because he had a
small edge in the last round he
won the title.

Return Of Army-Navy
Grid Game on Gala
Scale Is Foreseen
Py the Associated Press.

Representative Sammy Weiss, pos
sibly the most avid sports enthusiast
in Congress, believes the armed
forces are about to give the Army
Navy football classic back to the
people, taking tip in morale build
ing from the British.
Government restrictions have re-
quired the spectacle to be staged the
last two war years at either West
Point or Annapolis strictly for home
consumption, but Weiss said today
this years game probably will be
held in major Eastern city with
everybody officially welcome.
1--we been talking with some Of
the service officials and 1t looks
pretty certain the game will be
presented in all its prewar glory this
fall" said Weiss, Pennsylvania Dem
ocrat, whose hobby is refereeing pro-
fessional grid games.
His guess for the locale is either
New York or Philadelphia. the for
mer because its transportation sys-
tenn could handle the usual crowd of
fo,oVo vi ooyOou DCSI, lllC ldttcl US-
cause it is more central for the two
service institutions.
THE British are going all out for
sports as morale builder. despite
their proximity to the Luftwaffe and
robot bombs Weiss said. why
they have scheduled IS sports events
over there, 13 of them major events
expected to draw between 65, 900 and
l25 900 people.
Our Government realizes that if
the British feel the need for public
sports events SO keenly. We certainly
ought to do the same thing when
we're practically out of danger here"
| Weiss has at least two other argu-
ments for gala Army Navy grid
show.
"At game like that they should
be able to sell at least a billion dal-
lars worth of War Bonds" he de-
clared. Then, too. both war schools
are getting pretty low on funds and
real game would give 'em a chance
to make some without coming to
Congress for additional money"
