j Greens Determine Championship
So Wily Scot Tries 30 Patters
By STEPHEN WILLIAMSON
GLASGOW, Scotland.—(A5)—With
j 30 new putters he brought back
1 from the United States, Jock Mc
Lean, runnerup in the 1936 U. S.
! amateur golf championship, is go
ing the American way about seek
! ing the title next year.
He plans intensive practice on
the putting green.
Disclosing, on his belated return,
that some prominent American
observers already were phophesying
a triumph for Britain in the next
! engagement of the Walker cup
series over here in 1938, McLean
added the warning: "If we are to
win we must start right now copy
ing American methods. We can
; win if we go about our prepara
, tions in the right way.”
| McLean said that Francis Oui
; met, captain of the American team,
, had told him: “You boys have got
; the golf and if it is developed as
| you seem to be developing it, then
the Americans will find the task of
holding the Walker cup more haz
• ardous than they ever have known.”
Associate With Pros
McLean said, “It all boils down to
this: Whereas we in Britain play at
the game. American amateurs work
at it. They are always with a pro
fessional. If any flaw creeps into
their play they have a professional
rectify it. Hardly a week passes
1 but they are with the pro. That is
the big difference between Amer
ican and British golf.
“I asked Bobby Jones and Denny
Shute if I should change my style
of driving to give me an extra lo
or 15 yards. They, were astonished.
Bobby Jones declared that if I
wanted to take three strokes per
round off my score then I would
, find them on the putting green,
I not from the tee.
“'Anywhere from 80 yards to the
green the Americans have us beat
en. But that is not to say they will
always have us beaten there.
Yank Caddies Surprise
‘T've brought back about 30 new
; putters. They are of all makes. If I
! cannot sink my putts as well as the
American boys with this little lot—
| well, I’ll be a poor player and no
1 mistake.”
i McLean disclosed he is moving
j from his present home to a new one
j behind East Kilbride golf course
: outside Glasgow, where, he says, “I
: will be in a position to practice
: from morn till night.”
American caddies surprised him.
‘ One morning in the champion
ship,” he said, "I asked my caddie
if he could manage to be on the
course before 9 o’clock. The caddie
said he could, even though he lived
three iniles away. ‘How will you
manage it?’ I asked. ‘By cycle?’ ‘Of
course not,’ was the reply, Tiave
a car’."

TOUCHDOWN TWINS
TO GET TEST ON

Greatest Toter* O f
Pigskin To Hit

NEW YORK, Nov. S.—t*V-Pur
du's "touchdown twins," rated by
many as the greatest pigskin tot
ers in college football, will get their
) greatest test Saturday when the
j Botlmakers run up against Ford
; ham’s seven granite pillar line.
When Purdue toppled Fordham
| from the ranks of the undefeated
by a convincing 20 to 0 margin
; last fall. Cecil Isbell and John
i Drake were on the bench.
| They have been setting a ground
gaining pace that has left most of
the mlddlewestem backs In the
ruck this fall. Isbell, a swivel-hip
ped Junior with a baffling change
of pace, has carried the ball from
scrimmage SI times for a total gain
of 487 yards, an average of 8 1-S
a crack. Drake has cracked through
oposing lines 44 times for 328 yards,
an average of 7.46 a thrust.
The Boilermaker backs have been
picking up plenty of points as well
as yardage. Isbell has accounted for
I six touchdowns and has added eight
| points after touchdown for a total
1 of 44 points. Drake is credited with
! four touchdowns In big ten games.
PIMUCO OFFERS
$25,000 STAKE
BALTIMORE, Nov. 3—(^—Pim
lico’s fall meeting—running its sec
ond day today—offers the Pimlico
Puturity as Its election day feature.
The $15,000 added mile and six
teenth stake for 3-year-olds drew a
field of 11. If that number start—
and it appeared likely all would be
in there—the race would bring $35.
800 net to the winner, $3,500 to sec
ond, $1,500 third and $3,000 fourth.
Calumet Farm’s privileged, with
Jockey E. Arcaro up, appeared as
the early favorite, being quoted at
probable odds of 11 to 5. Privileged
ran second to Pompoon in the Bel

The E. R. Bradley entry of Bil

considerable backing, as did Wal

Supply House also drew early
support.
Jack Dempsey
To Be Referee
For Wrestlers
CHARLOTTE, Nov. S.-Jiek
Dempsey, probably the most popu
lar and glamorous sports figure of
all time, will referee the main event
of a strong wrestling program here
next Monday night, It was an
nounced today by Promoter Jim
Crockett.
It will be the old Manassa Maul
er’s second appearance here this
year. In the early summer he drew
a record-breaking crowd to the
armory, more than 6,000 eager
spectators Jamming the arena for
a look at the farmer champion and
builder of million dollar gates.
More than a thousand disappoint
ed fans were turned back as the
fire department halted the sale of
tickets because of safety measures.
The towering, hard-hitting Dick
Powell, young West Virginia giant,
will clash with the clever and popu
lar Henry Graber in the main
event. Powell is a terror to referees
and the old Manassa Mauler may
be called on to unleash one of
those terrific wallops that carried
him to the boxing heights. He has
laid several tough wrestlers out
with that sock.

SPORTS
SLANTS
By TAP
There ere any number of lade
who go on playing fine brand of
football week after week but who.
| for some reaeon or other, never
i seem to crasn the headlines.
Northwestern's two high scoring
backs, Pullback Don Oeyer and
Halfback Don Heap, are the big
guns In the Wildcat attack. but
Fred Vanio. the 100-pound block
ing quarter beak who very seldom
carries the ball. Is credited by Sig
Harris, veteran Minnesota scout, as
being one of the best # men in the
business—at the blocking back post.
Against Illinois Vanio repeatedly
knocked one and two man down for
Heap and Oeyer. He has mastered
the block as have few other men
in Northwestern grid history.
Capt. Matt Patanelli of Michigan,
in the opinion of numerous Big
I Ten officials and coaches, would
irate an end Job on any mythical
eleven If he were playing with a
winner this season. Michigan’s grid
fortunes have been at a low ebb. but
this hasn't prevented Matt from
turning in great games, especially
on the defense, each Saturday aft
ernoon. Against Minnesota, when
the Wolverlaea were routed 26-0.
Patanelli broke Into the Minnesota
backfteld twice to throw rimers loi
losses and his pass Interception on
the Michigan 7-yard line prevent
ed another Oopher score.
When the chips ere down yon
can bet your last dollar that Steve
Toth, alternating fullback for
Northwestern, will deliver. In the
Ohlol State-Wildcat game, with his
team leading the Buckeyes by a
single point, Toth stood five yards
back of his own goal line and
punted 76 yards down the field—
and out of bounds on the Ohio
State's 39. A normal kicker might
have been fatel—the way Joe Wil
liams had been returning punts.
But Toth didn't get away a nor
mal kick—it was the kind that
saves ball games.
If anyone should ask Harry
Stuhldreher about it, Eddie Jan
kowski, his slashing fullback at
Wisconsin, Is quite a ball player,
even though the Badgers this sea
son haven't done enough scoring
to get Eddie's name Into headlines
very often. Against Notrs Dame, as
his team was soundly whipped,
Jankowski ran the ends, backed up
the line and snatched passes In all
America style. Arter the geme the
Irish admitted "he is on# tough
ball player.”
Ray King U usually listed as one
| of the regular Minnesota ends. But
against Purdue, early In the first
half, he must have had an off day,
because the Boilermaker backs were
scampering around his flank with
regularity. Then In trotted Ray
Antll, a comparatively unknown
Gopher. Antll took over the wing
post and there was no more Pur
due scampering around that side of
the Minnesota line.
Children Hurt In

WELDON, Nov. 3.—(JP)—A school
bus and an automobile collided near

the automobile, and shaking up and

School authorities said the In

it and the bus, driven by Bose man
Harris, ran together at a highway

Miss Nixon was taken to a hos
