High School Standing

Tech kept its winning streak in
tact last night, coming from behind
in the third period and pouring it
on thereafter to defeat Western, Ga
so, in the opener of the high school
series double-header at Tech. The
finale produced a hot overtime game
as Central topped Roosevelt, 45-41,
for its first win of the series. For
the first time since championship
play began this year there was no
capacity crowd on hand, only about
1000 turning out.
Three season records fell as Tech
registered its eighth win without a
loss. The winning score was the
largest registered this year; the big
third period during which the Ma
rooms earned 10 points was the
fastest eight minutes yet, and
Claude Wickers, lanky Tech for
ward, made an individual scoring
mark with "a points.
4 Lead Changes Often.
The lead changed hands five times
in the opening session, Western
finally going in front on Norm
Wacker's layup shot. The Raiders
were ahead, 1913, at the end of the
first, and with Wayne Brizendine
having his usual hot hand and scor-
ing four times in the second ses-
sion, carried 1928 edge into the
second half. Midway through the
third period Wickers knocked in a
rebound to knot the count at 37-37,
following which Paul Pacini made
good with a charity toss when fouled
by Ercoli Negri. That gave Tech
a lead it never surrendered, and it
turned on the heat to win going

Savings Bonds Banned as Prizes
For Amateurs in Golf Journeys
BY MerreII WhittIesey

Digging through the United
States Golf Association report of
the Executive Committee for some
facts that concern Mr.. and Mrs.
Average Golfer:
Savings bonds and Government
securities have been banned as
tournament prizes for amateurs,
with forfeiture Of amateur status as
the penalty The ruling that went
into effect in January of 1912 by
which amateurs could accept prizes
up to 800 face value has been
-escinded by the Amateur Status
and Conduct Committee-with em-
phasis.
The USGA in 1946 showed a
membership increase of 178 clubs
for a total of 929, which is only
about one-sixth of the clubs in the
country, although all clubs benefit
from the WIDE scope of activities of
the various departments. Tourna-
nlent golf is only small part of the
USGA's work.
The USGA is concerned with the
dangers that go with the expansion
of golf. particularly in relation to the
lack of observance of the rules of
golf and the relaxing of the anna
teur code. q, The golf body contends
there is too much stress on material
end financial growth. One of the
most notable rules violations was
the scoring and roughing of the
faces of iron clubs to produce back
spin. More than Is per cent of the

asked to have their clubs tested.
The vote to make the National
Amateur Championship an all match
play event was 81 to % by the parti-
cipants in last years event and 40
to 10 by the Sectional Affairs Com
mittee The $4,000 additional
prize money in the National Open,
which will make it $4,000 tourna-
ment, will be divided among the
first II players. Eighty five per
cent of the schemes for improving
play last year were related to the
putter. The USGA and the golf
ball manufacturers are cooperating
in an effort to limit the length OF
the ball, and also to improve the
servicability.
The gate at the National Open
championship in Cleveland was $28.-
593. :. The most popular and only
major rule change was in reducing
the penalty for ball out OF bounds
to distance only, or in other words
one stroke penalty instead OF two.
The penalty stroke for an unplay-
able or lost ball remains two strokes.
The Greens Section Committee
will construct two-hole course at
Beltsville, Md, to study the con-
tinuous performance of various
grasses under different uses. :. The
USGA increased it's surplus to $685.
526. An effort will be made to
evolve a handicap system suitable
for Nationwide use, something that
is sorely needed. ----

their match that was interrupted
by a dispute over a vital point in
the second set. The American
claimed a "let" on his own service
that had been returned for a
clean winner by Bromwich. The
umpire refused to allow it and
Bromwich said he had not heard
Ghe ball hit the net.
During the controversy, the
spectators yelled such phrases as
play the game" and don't
argue" at Mulloy, who finally
threw his racket on the ground
and beckoned a spectator to come
on the court. But the fan didn't
leave his seat and Mulloy netted
the next point to give Bromwich
the set.
Earlier in the match Mulloy
had murmured you have to
play everybody" when a linesman
called one of his services out.
When he went to the other end
of the court, the American asked
the linesman, did the white (of
