Normally, when the golf pros go
to Chevy Chase for a tournament
they spend an hour or so on their
long game as Bob Barnett usually
delights in putting them at the rear
of the back tees and making the
layout a slugger's paradise.
Yesterday the pros found the
Chevy Chase redhead in an amiable
mood. Barnett edged the red mark
ers from the back tees to the center
ones, or what the members call the
regular course" for his annual pro-
senior tournament. The course was
shortened almost 500 yards, to about
$3.50.
Barnett gave 'em an inch and they
took a mile. Led by Indian Spring
Pro Mel Shorey who cut loose with
a 4-under-par 65, the pros staged
the greatest scoring spree in the
history of the club. Philadelphia
trick-shot artist Joe KirkWood and
Roger Peacock, the local driving
range pro, followed with Cos and
Congressional's Lew Worsham was
2 under with a Ct. Everybody who
turned in a card broke 80, which is
unusual even for the pros at Chevy
Chase.
A par S on the long 9th hole
was the only score over on Shorey's
card. He required only 26 puts for
the round, 10 under regulations, and
saved two of his six brides for the
tough 17th and 18th holes. Mel was
over par twice, on the par 9Th and
18th. He was out in 80 and back
in 80.
Peacock featured a back nine of
80 in his 66, and that included miss
ing three comparatively short puts.
Kirkwood, who presented his trick
shot exhibition following his 66, had
mines of 80 and "a while Worsham
was out in SO and back in 81.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Oct. IL
North Carolina undertook workouts
today to overcome some very bad
football which Coach Carl Snavely
said he saw in films of the North
Carolina Maryland tussle last week.
Snavely warned his squad that
adequate corrective measures should
be undertaken Immediately if the
Tar Heels expect to knock off Navy
when the squads meet in Baltimore
Saturday.
Meanwhile, two changes in the Tar
Heel starting aggregation seemed
almost certain. Stan Marczyk is
slated to replace Jim Hendrick at
left tackle, while Larry Klosterman
may take over the right guard spot
in place of injured Sid Varney.

In the first 16 games of the regular

officials of the National League
point out their attendance to date
is 47.2 per cent above the first II
games Of 1945, a year which wound
up as the best in the loop from the
standpoint of drawing power if not
from the standard of play.
| All-America Conference heads, or
the other hand, hold up the fact that
their opener at Cleveland drew q
crowd of 60,135, largest throng ever
to see regularly scheduled pro-
fessional football game, and at least
two other games topped the $4,000
mark, which the rival loop has not
yet attained this year.
Both leagues look for an increase
over recent crowd figures in the near
future. The National League has
played no games yet in New York
where it gets its largest crowds, and
only one in Los Angeles.
Natural Trend" Credited.
Happy as they are over the in
crease in the gate receipts, the
National Leaguers aren't willing to
concede that the increase is due in
any part to a stimulus born of q
rivalry existing for the first time.
"It simply is the -lational trend
in sports, plus the ..atural growth
of the game" said National League
spokesman.
On the basis of the crowds to date,
we feel that we have been accepted
by the public" an All-America Con-
ference spokesman declared.
The National League drew !, ,442, ,737
for so regular games in 1945, averag-
ing 28,854 per game, which was an
increase of 1873 per cent over the
previous year.

there is what is known as econo-
mic over-population insofar as col
ored people are concerned and
where they have no toe-hold in
the making and administration
of the laws under which they live
and where the Constitution of the
United States is not in operation.
Frankly, 1 think they have
something there, l think progress
can be made in the South, but l
think it will be too little and 90

Right now there is a craving
conviction that some sort of we'll
heeled organization should be set
up to facilitate the training OF
six million colored people in the
South for life in large industrial
and commercial centers. This
plan should include features such
as that found in the Farm Secur-

vances loans to worthy applicants
to buy farms, seeds, tools, and
other basic necessities, to be re-
paid over a long period of time
at a low rate of interest. The re-
