Ithwarted Ferrier. His game was
the best in the field for three

to hit every shot in golf" says
the grand slam king, who is
president of the National.
1.-THE man who can putt will
win this tournament" Ferrier said
as he rammed home a 4o-foct
practice nudge on the seventh
green without batting an eyelash.
Ferrier took quick tour around
the course with Ed Furgol. He
hit two or three balls and didn't
keep a score. But he was knocking
'em dead on the tricky, rolling
carpets that dot this pine-fringed
layout.
There's the greatest putter in

Philosophical In Defeat.
It was Demaret, from Ojai,
Calf. who sneaked into the
championship a year ago when
Ferrier, his trusty putting blade

holes.
This was a narrowing expert
,ence that could haunt strong men
for a lifetime, but to the casual,
stoop- -shouldered Ferrier it was
just one Of those things.
Every golf tournament has a
mans name on it," he said
philosophically. Mine wasn't on
the Masters last year. This year?
Well, perhaps. But there are a

"Basically our problem is caused

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 4.-Three
score golfers tomorrow will answer
the challenge of the famed Au-
gusta National course, a layout
which for "A years has consistently
whipped the games top players.
The 18th annual Masters tour
nament, with a selected field, will
open at IL am. on a big and in
nocent- looking course. On its g.
900 yards of rolling, pitching fair
days and broad and slick green's
ego goes down as scores go up.
Towering Jim Ferrier, trans
planted Australian, checked in
yesterday with his aluminium
plated putter still smoking from
a series of winter successes and
apparently was not surprised to
find himself the peoples favorite
to win the classic.
Only 81 Beat Par.
Eight hundred golfers have
played in the Masters and only 81
have beaten par over the four
round route. Ralph Guldahl and
Claude Harmon have done better
than any ,others-tWo 279s.
Par is balanced, So on the front
nine. So on the back for II and for
288 for four rounds.
The best in golf is here. just as
it always is-Ferrier. Sam Snead,
Ben Hogan. Jimmy Demaret, Lloyd
Mangrum and the others who play
the weekly tournaments. To the
Masters has come the luster of
amateurism-the entire Walker
Cup team. And also here are Ro-
berto de Vicenzo and Juan Segura
of Argentina and Bill Mawhinney
of Canada, for touch of inter-
nationalisnl.
Here from another era are
Johnny Revolta, Denny Shute,
Horton Smith, Henry Picard,
Byron Nelson and George Won
Elm, a champion each in his time.
Today they are among the elder
statesmen of golf.
"This course isn't just one Of
the greatest in America, it's one
of the worlds BEST" Ferrier said.
And Ferrier has played over al
most every course Of Importance
IN his native Australia, in Eng
land and on the continent and
in America.
Ferrier Rates Lowest Odds.
If any golfer is accorded an
excellent chance Of whipping the
National course and the field,
Ferrier should get the lowest odds.
In five consecutive winter tourna-
ments he won three in a row and
finished second twice.

Road Schedule Coils
For Trip to Detroit;
Meet Cardinals Twice

| The Redskins announced their
1881 home schedule today. The
Isix games feature two major
lchanges-the Chicago Bears will
lplay here instead of the Cleve-
Hand Browns. and Los Angeles
Rams replace. the defunct Balti-
more Colts.
Schedules were mailed to all IL
National Football League clubs by
Commissioner Bert Bell with the
provision that each team release
its own list of home games. So all
THAT can be written at this time
lis that the Redskins will open on
the road September 80 against the
Detroit Lions. Then they come
home the following week to make
their debut at Griffith Stadium
against the New York Giants. The
complete home schedule is as fol-
lows: X

October 81, Chicago Cardinals.
November 4, Chicago Bears.

Browns. Eagles. Giants. Pitts
burgh and Cardinals. The Red
skins will meet the Browns in
Cleveland October IA when the
other games are to be played will
be known as soon as the other
teams schedules are announced.
General Manager Dick McCann,
who released the list, said it was
the one he fought for last week at
Ia meeting of club officials with
Bell in Philadelphia. The owners
failed to agree on a schedule in
Chicago in January when George
Halas of the Bears objected to
making another trip to the West
Coast this year. The owners were
not completely satisfied with Bells
final schedule, but all agreed 1t
was the best under the circum-
lStanceS.
While some fans will be sorry
to see the Cleveland game go. just
as many will welcome the return
of the Bears, who were not on
the Redskins 1850 schedule. Re-
placing Cleveland with the Bears
was in accord with Bells policy
of substituting a name" team
for another wherever necessary
to give each team a balanced
box Office balance, that is
schedule.
Rams First Visit Since 1949.
The Rams visit will mark that
teams first appearance here since
1949. when the Los Angeles squad
first played in Washington. The
two games with the Cardinals are
the first home-and-home meet
ingS between those teams. It will
be the first time since 1945 that
the Redskins have not played
Green Bay.
The finale against Pittsburgh
here marks the first time the
Steelers have helped the Marshall
men ring down the curtain. Usu-
ally the Redskins and Giants have
lheen ODponentS in the wind-l1n
The Giants this year will have
Kyle Rote, Southern Methodist's
star back last season. The Bears
will bring Bob Williams, Notre

On paper it is one Of the most
attractive schedules the Redskins
ever have had. --ATCHISON.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, April A.
The boss of the college basketball
referees was sore. He made it

scientific caution: II cannot but
waver in my doubt. q. the inscrip-
ton maybe authentic"
support from Greenland
What first caused Thalbitzer's
doubt to waver was his study of
the smaller of the runestones
discovered in 1928 near Upper
navik in northern Greenland. The
Greenland Stone is undoubtedly
genuine, and it's runes have pc
culiarities like those that cast
doubt on the Kensington Stone.
After long study, DR.. Thalbitzer
was convinced that some at least
of the faults of language in the
Kensington inscription may be
normal for the period. At the
end of the 14th Century, he says,
the languages of Scandinavia were
in decay and confusion. Latin let
tiers were replacing the ancient
runes, dialects were changing rap
idly. These language changes, he
decided, might account for the pc
culiarities of the KenSington
Stone.
Kings Expedition
DR.. Thalbitzer does not pretend
to know how eight Swedes and %
Norwegians got to Minnesota in
1862. But he repeats a theory de-
veloped by Hjalmar R. Holland, a
Norwegian-American who has long
championed the Kensington Stone.
In 1856, according to Holland, King
Magnus Erickson of Sweden and
Norway sent an expedition under
Powell Knutsson to see what had
happened to the Morse colonies in
Greenland. When they found that
the colonists were dead or had
move ed elsewhere, Knutsson's
Norsemen pushed farther west.
Eventually they reached Hudson
Bay, and then the Great Lakes
and Minnesota.
The careful DR.. ThalbitZer does
not completely endorse this theory
But he does think that the Ken
sington Stone was condemned too
quickly. The last word his re-
port says, has not yet been spo-
ken"
