PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-RE
Golfer Harold (Jug) McSpaden
came forward today with a sug-
gestion for revision of the present
golf tournament prize system, say
ing some change is necessary if
professional competition is to con-
tinue.
Every golfer, said the current
kingpin of the winter circuit, home
for a date with his draft board, is
proud that the sport is the only
one in which all prizes are paid
in War Bonds. But travelling pro-
fessionals, faced with expenses so
per cent above FORMAL and many
with no other cash income, are
finding it increasingly difficult to
continue.
To meet this situation, McSpaden
proposed that small part of each
tourney purse be set aside in cash
for equal distribution among the
first dozen or so finishers. The re.
mainder, all in War Bonds, would
be distributed on the present basis.
Some cas!: is necessary to en-
able the boys to earn at least part
of their living expenses" said Nc
Spaden, who estimated he spent
$1,000 during the eight weeks he
was playing in five tournaments in
the Southwest, He won three times,
finished IS competitive rounds with
an average of ea.8 strokes, and
brought home War Bonds which
will be worth $4,000 in 1854.
For instance, in $4,000 tour
ney the total prize value is about
$1,000" he said.
"Out of that a specified sum,
say $1,000 or $1,000, could be paid
IN cash, $500 to each of the first
10 or Is finishers. That amount in

those from Italy bombed ports on
the Dalmatian coast and the Tag
reb airport.
Some groups of tine force from
Britain penetrated Germany so
deeply that their fighter escort
was unable to go all the way
with them.
Filters in one group said they
were engaged in four-hour
battle with German fighters which
attacked in waves of 10 or more.
Several estimated they saw at
least 200 enemy planes, piloted
by obviously skilled men who
jumped them after the bombers
got beyond range of the escort.
The Germans used many rockets.
One pilot who was in formation
in the air for nine hours said the
battle was worse than at Schwein-
furt last October, when the Ameri-
cans lost 60 bomhers.
They also encountered heavy
anti-aircraft fire, particularly in
one section, which they said was
worse than that in the Ruhr val
ley.
Despite the opposition, the bomb
ers reported exec e1ient results.
Crews from one formation which
attacked an aircraft factory said
they destroyed three-fourthss of
the 70 to 100 planes parked on the
ground beside the plant.
The round trip was so long that
one bomber ran out of fuel just
as it returned to it's base. Air of
ficers in Italy said, however, it
could be assumed that the Britain
based planes were not over Res

fensive and close defensive game,
the Cats roared on to a 1913 adj

The Fayetteville point gathering
attack became bit more potent
in the second period. With Lebed
and Pate sparkling the tallying,
the Dogs worked to a 1914 stand

still holding the lead.
After the intermission the Bull
dogs took the floor a more deter

The Bulldogs bounced back with
three field goals and a foul snot

The locals called time out and
settled down to end the uprising.
