barrassed group of the Nations
finest golf professionals today
headed for Mobile, Ala, and the
$4,000 Open tournament starting
Thursday, convinced that all anna
teurs do not play "amateurish" golf.
Twice in less than a week the
boys who play for keeps have been

pure ranks.
Latest to turn the trick was Frank
Stranahan, strong 23-year-
old star from Soledo, Ohio, whose
3-under-par 277 gave him the Dur
hom Open crown yesterday by a
stroke over Ed "Porky" Oliver of

field to become the first winning
amateur in the 44-year history of
the North and South Open at Pine
hurst.
Stranahan, twice Ohio State
amateur king and winner of the
1941 trans-Mississippi amateur at
st. Louis, was only a stroke off the
tournament record set last spring
by fellow Toledoan Byron Nelson.
frankie had rounds of 70-66-71-
10 in his march to the title, moving
up to gain 54-hole tie with Oliver,
who slipped from his 68-66 of the
first two days to 73-71.
Hogan Finishes Third.
Ben Hogan, Hershey, Pa, trailing
by a stroke after 81 holes and unable
to match his morning So, fell off to
final 279 and third place. He took
second professional money of s700.
Toney Penna, Dayton, Ohio. fol-
lowed with 281 for $500, and Herman
Barron. White Plains, N. Y, was a
stroke back for $3.50.
Others in the first IL:
George Payton, Newport News,
Va, 283, $3.50; Denny Shute, Akron,
Ohio S. J. Harrison, Chicago: Virgil
L. Shreeve, San Francisco, all at 254
for s26668 each, and Bob Hamilton,
Chicago; R. E. Barnee, Kansas City,
Mo, and Herman Keiser, Akron,
Ohio, all at 285 for $16666.
Fred Haas, New Orleans, was sec

|Rovers Seeking Fifth
Straight in Battling
Lions tomorrow

New York's rapid Rovers, leading
the Eastern Hockey League at a
hot clip. will bid for their fifth
straight victory tomorrow night
when they tangle with the WASH
ington Lions on Uline ice at $3.50.
The Rovers took the league lead
yesterday, when they slapped down
the Lions in Madison Square Gar
den, 12-1, while the challenging
Philadelphia Falcons could do no
better than play the Baltimore
Clippers to a 3-3 deadlock in Balti-
more last night.
The Rovers scored four times in
the first period, fired three goals in
the second and five more in the
third stanza, while the Lions scored
only in the first period on a shot
by Fred Petsura.
Coach Make Bennett, roaring
over the debacle that came on tor
of the Lions brilliant win over the
Boston Olympics,- said today that
several players will be released by
the Lions shortly and more re-
placements rushed in by Talent
Scout Eddie Shore.
One newcomer who will be vel
coined by local fans tomorrow night
will be Nestor Lubbock, high-scorine
wingman with Baltimore last sea-
son, who will be reunited with
Wingman Paul Bedard and De-
fenseman Harold Hurlsey.

The Professional Golfers Associa-
ton, feeling its weight in golf af-
fairs, today was to take action at
its annual meeting in Chicago on
two proposed radical departures
from the links code as promulgated
by the United States Golf Associa-
ton.
The pro golfers, President Ed
Dudley announces. will adopt Ma
tion-wide ruling applying to their
own tournaments permitting use of
Is clubs. For many years the fixed
standard has been IA clubs, a rul-
ing adopted by the USGA to curb
the growing tendency to overload
golf bags-and caddies-with clubs
numbering UP to 20 and in some
cases to %. 1t also was effected
by the USGA as a possible stop to
low scoring, something it has failed
to do.
The other departure from the ira
ditional rules of golf as fixed by
the USGA is PGA proposal that
the present irksome stroke and dis
tance rule for lost ball, ball out of
bounds and unplayable ball in tour
naments be standardized at only a
single stroke, or distance only.
What is the worst stroke in golf?"
asks Dudley.
"It Is complete miss, isn't it?"
he said. Therefore why should
our players, who hit ball out of
bounds, lose a ball or find ball in
an unplayable lie. be penalized
stroke and distance for something
that isn't nearly as bad as the worst
stroke in golf-the complete miss?
I'VE intend to adopt these rules
as standard PGA procedure and
hope the United States Golf Asso-
citation also will see At to make them
part Of the game"
It is not customary for the United
States Golf Association to make rad
ical rule changes until after con-

cient of Great Britain, ruling body
Of the game in the United King
dom. The Royal and Ancient for
some time has been considering a
change in its golf ball standards to
conform more closely to the size and
weight of the American ball. The
British ball is smaller and heavier
than the standard golf ball used in
the United States. The USGA will
hold its annual meeting January
II, 1916.

Indiana Hunting First
Big Ten Grid Crown
In Purdue Game
BY JERRY LISKA,

CHICAGO, Nov. I2.-Only Their
traditionally bitter old oaken bucket
finale with Purdue stands between
Alvin Nugent (Bo) McMillin's "Pore

football championship in Western
Conference history.
The current Big Ten title situa-

fewer than four teams having nathe-
matical championship chances. The
unbeaten Hoosiers, however, are in
the drivers seat.
Here's the picture as the confer

a tie, the Hoosiers tackle much

Illini came to life against Iowa
Saturday for 48-7 victory. The

TEEN AGE BOYS
 CAUSE TROUBLE
Honor Roll Committee States Flag Pole in Park
 Repeatedly Broken
WATERVILLE
Correspondents Phone-3-6511

Waterville, May 22-The Honor Roll Committee met recently at the home of Mrs. Joseph McArdle. Plans were discussed for a card party to be held in the near future, time and place to be announced. Fred Truelove and Patrick Shea are on the committee. MT. Shea also stated that he had asked for a new rope on the flag pole in the park, but that the park department was reluctant to fix the rope due to the fact that there have already been four ropes put on, and the teen-aged boys have broke them all. Unless these boys refrain from breaking things that are placed in the park it is feared that the city will soon tire of trying to maintain the park in good order.

 AS the Tanks prepare for final knockout blows against Japan, the world understands more clearly the important role of our air-poWer. Ou- wings were fledged largely by what is now recognized as a marvel of American engineering and indus try. That marvel was worked by a jolly genius of the assembly-li line who two years ago was as military as grease-monkey and today is our only General with three stars and three chins.
 But William S. Knudsen, who used to mend bicycles, is a very good Lieutenant General and no swivel chair strategist. His job is producing the planes for the world s greatest air force. Knudsen has done it by saying: I'd like to have a look" and then having it.
 He has flown nearly quarter of million miles to every state to have look at as many as II fac tories in one day. He has visited nearly 1900 plants. Some days his sturdy figure trudges 10 miles through airplane factories. He eel ebrated his 63rd birthday by visit ing two, driving 95 miles to a third, then riding 120 miles in a sleeping car.
 MISSES NOTHING
 Glancing right and left, the civ- ilian General misses nothing. Not ing a worker holding a part with one hand and filing it with the other, he said: If that man had a wise, he could file with both hands" The wise was installed.
 Knudsen my change bit or a process. Asked what was the "one common failing" in all war produc- ton, he replied: If there were only one failing, it would have been corrected and I wouldn't be here" " But once he did tell Slovenly manufacturer: Just turn a hose on your whole plant"
 Usually the General is kindly, gracious, even chuckling. His short pep talks to workers get results and help explain why he is the coun- trys greatest trouble shooter as well as detector of future raw ma terial shortages.
 The rest of the world" he has declared, failed to realize that we do not operate on a job-shop basis. We get down to fundamentals. Everywhere you go you hear, Line it up,' because we work on pro- duction basis. Some countries bank On cheap labor. Our country goes in for better tools. The difference between the American way and other is the difference between piping water to it's destination and carrying it in buckets We haven't failed to meet single one of the figures that the enemy called fan taStic.'
 Here are a few such figures:
 During 1944 this country pro duced under Knudsens leadership, 96,369 planes of all types; from Pearl Harbor to January l, 1945, we had produced 238,883,
 Nothing like it had ever been dreamed of.
 SELF-MADE SUCCESS
 The man who made the un- dreamed into reality, came to Am erica from Denmark in 1900. to work in bicycle factory, starting at $1050 a week. In four years he was assistant superintendent of a plant in Buffalo employing 1900.
