Barclays Steady Golf
Tells as CoyIe Bows
In College Final
By the Associcted Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich, June 80
The shop-worn slogan that perse-
verance pays off was something the
new collegiate golf champion, the
University of Michigan's Dave Bar
clay, could indorse today.
Perseverance alone-not the ef-
fortress golf some of his opponents
displayed-gave Barclay a 1-up VIC
tory on the 36th hole yesterday over
Louisiana States restless and am
bilious freshman, 21-year- Jack
Coyle, in the seven-day tourna
ment's final match over the $780,
yard University of Michigan course.
His brand of golf had none of
Coyles form or polish, but he kept
coming back and plugging ahead
Coyle couldn't shake him off.
The Louisiana freshman, who had
led three of his mates to L. S. US
first clear-cut NCAA team cham
pionship last Wednesday, pulled
away to a Cup lead in the outgoing
nine of the morning round on the
third hole, just as the experts had
figured.
But from the seventh hole, where
Barclay evened the match. to the
finish the balance kept shifting the
other way. Barclay was 1-up at the
end of the morning 18-hole round,
by dint of a birdie 4 on the 460-
yard 18th hole, which put him ahead
for the first time in the match.
Barclays 1-over-par on the 34th
left Coyle 2 down, but on the 35th
Coyle sank a 50-foot chip shot. the
most sensational shot Of the match,
for birdie 3.
Both Barclay and Coyle halved
the 36th with birdie As.

SAN BENITO. Tex. NEA). =
Mexico and the United States
have agreed by treaty to build
one of the largest dams in the
world on the lower Rio Grande
and tame the river that shifts an
international border at its will.
It will be one of two-with a
third, if, necessary-that together
would provide irrigation for L.
500, 600 acres Of farm land and
|produce around 400, 600, 600 kilo-
watt-hours of electricity each
year.
But those purposes are only Sec
ondary. The principal reason for
the project is to prevent dis
astrous floods which, every now
and then, do enormous damage
in the lower Rio Grande Valley,
and which for a century now have
been causing International bound
airy disputes.
The Falcon dam is to 60 about
10 LILIES IlOI Ill VI 4tO1lio, AOh',
which is about IS miles below the
twin Laredos. There the valley is
flat, with adjacent mesas little
higher. So engineers figure the
dam will have to be made 10, 700
feet (about three and a half
miles) long. The great Aswan dam
on the Nile is four and a half
miles long. The Fort Peck dam on
the Missouri river in Montana is
TO- 500 feet long. The mammoth
Hoover Dam is 727 feet high, but
only 1180 feet long.

A second dam in the Rio
Grande project is planned tenta-
lively for Aqua Verde, in Martin
Canyon about 80 miles above Del
Rio. If a third proves necessary,
it probably will be located a Sui

above the Laredos - between the
two that are definitely scheduled
for construction.
