Route.
plan CRIPPLING blow
(By the Associated Press)
Heavy cannonading reverber
ited yesterday in the wooded j
Talleys of the Saar River sector
on the Western front, accompa- J
„ied by sharp fighting in the
air.
The French high command
said artillery fire was particu
larly heavy west of the Saar
valley.
The longer firing told of a
resumption of bombardment aft
er a Sunday lay off. At the
same time Germany and allied
forces fought several air bat
tles, the results of which were
not, yet known. All French
planes returned safely. However, -
two of their single seater fight
ers went down in a dog fight;
with a much superior German!
force, but one of the French
pilots bailed out to safety.
It was indicated in diplomatic
circles last night Britain is
preparing to fight as hard as
possible against the sea route
along Norway’s ports through
which Germany imports iron.
Hitherto German ships carrying
ore to the Reich’s armament fac
tories have been protected by
orway’s six-mile limit. The
orces of both the British and
French empires were being
primed for a crippling blow
against Germany’s economic bas
tions.

GEORGE DUNLAP 75
Grover Poole Jr., 17, a Duke
University freshman, was well
satisfied with his score of 33
35—68 which he made yester
day on the number two course
in winning the medal in the
40th North and South amateur,
golf championship. 4
Poole lives in Raleigh and is:
commuting, between that city
and Pinehurst.
He played yesterday with two
old timers, Paul Hyde of Buf
falo and Charles R. Scott of
Greenfield, Mass. Both scored
81 and are included among- the
eight who will compete in a
“sudden demise” contest this
morning for one place in the
championship match play.
Mr. Hyde and Mr. Scott look
ed young Poole over very care
fully and decided he woulc^ do.
Mr. Hyde even suggested to
Grover that he should be cap
tain of the Duke golf team. As
a freshman he is not eligible
for the team, which is a tough
break for Duke this year.
Mr. Scott reports that Grover
did everything right. The lad
himself said he was afraid of
his putting and therefore had
decided to play this part of the
game “safe.”
At the second hole Mr. Jroole
astonished his companions by)
knocking his ball within three*
feet of the flag and holing the*
putt for a three. The old timers,
passed favorable remarks about.,
Grover’s golf.
By the time Grover had reach
ed the 15th and laid an iron six
feet from the hole and dropped
his putt, Mr, Hyde and Mr.
Scott Agreed that Mr. Poole
would be a big help to any col
lege golf team, including their
alma mater. When a Williams
player scores a 69 over that
tough college' course, he goes ta
North Adams to celebrate.,
