DENVER, Nov. 4.-More than
100 persons found Q football
bargain to suit them.
And as 0 result, Harry Bit
man, owner Of . small inde-
pendent tailoring business In
Denver, figures he will have to
spend $22, ,24S.
Here is how it all came about:
Bitman's firm, the Harman
tailors, sponsors q weekly contest
in which q free suit is offered
for the contestant sending in the
best predictions on the outcome
Of 10 Of the Nations top foot
ball games.
Last week 4l2 persons came up
with 10 winners "a perfect score)
and the rules stipulate that all
persons naming 10 winners will
receive suits.
The odds against one person
picking 10 football winners are
strictly from astronomy. When
412 turned the trick Bitman was
behind a very black eight ball.
In his way of figuring that's
$22,248 worth Of suits, enough to
send most small businessmen into
bankruptcy.
I've spent five years building
up my business and I'm not going
to WEIGH on all those people" he
said. they'll all get suits as
fast as we can make them"

The sixth Is q 1S0-yard par to

swears is at q IS degree angle

trying to hit q cloud" Freddie

Bottoms tee shot hit the green

settled in some tough grass over
the green. That left him a down.
hill shot with not much green to
hit, the grain of the grass growing
away from him. and If he hit it
too hard the ball probably would
roll all the way back to the tee.
Fred studied the shot carefully.
Tt had to be just right, q delicate
little shot with lots Of finesse.
Finally he stepped up to the ball
still half scared Of the shot
took a few more practice stabs, q
short backswing, when out of
the stiffness came the most
blood-curdling scream he had
ever heard. 1t was from q wom-
an in the gallery.
iii Wind Blows Good.
He was already on his back
swing so Fred just jerked at the
ball, dropped the club and
whirled around. There, coming
out of the woods q few yards
away, loping along, was . big
black bear. It stood up and
Freddie said the bear must have
been 7 feet tall.
There wasn't any sense of that
woman screaming like that"
Fred said, "for that old bear
wasn't going to hurt anybody. A
couple Of people in the gallery
tossed a few sticks and stones
at it and 1t sneaked of back into
the woods"
When the excitement was over
Fred turned disconsolately to-
ward the green to see what hap
pened to the jerky shot and
guess where the ball was? One
half inch from the hole. All he
had done was to give it a start
and the ball trickled down and
rested against the pin. He went
back, played the shot in prac-
tice like he intended to at first
and it rolled, so yards over the
green.
Sure. he went on to win the
tournament by a stroke, the one
that big black bear saved him.

COLUMBIA, 8. c., Nov. 4.-Uni-

team is having only q $3.50 season,
but 1t is primed to give favored
Maryland battle on Saturday
afternoon when the Gamecocks and
Terrapins tangle before sellout
crowd of 10000. It's a homecoming

only do they crave to win this one
in front of the alumni, but they also
are anxious to make up for last

This also will be another meeting
OF Coacn Rex Enright of North
Carolina and his former pupil, Jim
Tatum, Of Maryland. Tatum played
under Enright at North Carolina in
the early 1930s and later served as

letic director there. =
South Carolina's hopes of victory
rest on q trio Of good backs, Bishop
Strickland, Red Harrison and Steve
Wadiak.
Strickland, chunky sophomore,
is . 190-pound speedster who gets
through opposing lines through
sheer power. The bouncing Bishop
has not done as well lately as he did
in earlier games this season, but
Coach Enright still calls him po-
tentially the finest ball handler he
ever has coached. Harrison is not
the best ground-gainer on the team
but he generally is the one called
on when q few critical yards are
needed. He also Is defensive star
at all times.
Strickland and Harrison were
proven leather luggers going into
this season and 1t has been the work
Of Wadiak that has been the real
pleasant surprise. He's q sophomore
CT playing his first year of college
football and is q low-built, hard
churning, hard-to-stop halfback. He

way from Chicago to play with the
Gamecocks, and clips of yardage at

Golf Pro Tells |Bedr-Fdced
Truth About Incredible Shot
By MerreII WhittIesey

The last time Fred Bolton was
In town he was decked out in q
i0-gallon hat, chaps, a $50 cow
boy shirt and a multi-colored
scarf, ready to join the 1947-48
winter golf tour and advertise
the Pendleton (Oreg) Roundup.
He was pro at the Pendleton
Club and their goodwill ambas-
sador.
The 6-foot-6 ex-Bethesda golf
pro played in a few tournaments,
made most of the papers on the
tour and all the golf magazines
with pictures and story, then re-
turned to his club with mission
accomplished. He didn't win
much money although he had
some good rounds, but that old
one bad round caught him In
each tournament.
Big Fred Is home again, sweat
ing out the head pro job at one
of the best known golf courses in
the Middle West. The rainy sea-
son was not a money-making one
for golf pros at small clubs in the
Pacific Northwest last year, and
after two years at Pendleton Boil
ton decided to make q change.
He learned of the Mid-Western
Job vacancy through friends on
the. winter tour, and spent last
week being interviewed in st.
Louis.
Takes Good Advice.
Fred, when he puts that big
frame Of his behind a golf ball,
looks as though he is going to
knock 1t right out Of sight. As
usual, he has one of the seasons
best golf stories. It happened
while he was in Trail, British CO.
lumbia. q few weeks ago, playing
In the Rossland Trail Open.
Trail is q little resort town To-
Gated in the heart of q mountain
range. When he was driving up
there he stopped and asked a
policeman how far to Trail.
."Twenty-seven miles at the next
left fork" the officer answered,
"hut unless your car can run
for hours in first gear don't 60
that way, you'll never make it."
Bolton took the policeman's
advice and went ITO miles and q
ferry ride to the right to reach
his destination. One Of the other
pros took the 27-mile route and
arrived a day and a half later.
honest. The mountain road was
so steep Bottoms buddy swore he
was driving upside down half the
time. He'd drive a while, then
seool his motor.
But that was only the begin
ming. The tournament was a
$500 first money 72-hole event
for Canadian amateurs and pros
and three invited Americans.
Bolton received bid because he
had quite a name out in that
section for his tremendous hitting.
Bolton, who had just finished
sixth in the British Columbia
Open, was on his stick at Trail.
The Canadian mountain air was
to his liking and for three straight
rounds he was under par, but still
