Senior League Teams Fail To j Match American NEW YORK. Apr. 10 W Someone with an analytical bent will please step forward and explain the corns paratlvcly weak showing National league clubs have made up to the current writing in the snrlne cxhibl- I tlon circuit.

Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) If Knute Kockne had a rival In coaching success last year It was Wil liam Wallace Wade, the Tennesseean who coached so many brilliant teams at the University of Alabama before transferring- his allegiance to Duke university for 1031. They coached tho two foremost undefeated elevens of 1029, but when I talked with Wade recently at Durham he unhesitatingly sug gested that probably his Alabama team, good as it- was. "would have been beaten by Notre Dame.' It would have made a great ffnm t w cnniri hnv ninvnH ro. marked Wade, "but I reckon Notre Dame would have beaten us. My Alabama line was very Rood, prob ably as good as any In the country, but Rockne had more speed and more power In his backflcld. His passing, too. probably ' would have been better than ours. He had won derful backs In CVarideo, Brill, Schwartz, . Savoldi and O'Connor. They were almost Impossible to stop after being shaken loose byond the line of scrimmage." LAST TEAM MASTERPIECE It seems In' 'a wav eminently fit- ting that Rock nc's last team was his masterpiece of offensive football, if j not the greatest team he ever sentj into action. Certainly It went I through a stiffer schedule more im- r pressively than even his great 1920 : team, with George Glpp, or the im-j mortal "Four Horsemen" of 1924. Its slaughters of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh and Southern California, against whom ' the Fighting Irish rolled up 126 points, stamped it as a super-aggregation of football ta - ent. i ? "Rock," although reluctant to commit himself, knew it was his greatest array and, privately, ad- J knitted It. ! To this observer, it was the All- America team Itself, In person.

This Game Of Golf THIS GAME OF sports Hy O. II. Keeler Bobby Jones, being In the movies, and on the air. and out of com petitive golf forever, has evolved an idea to which he Intends to devote the remainder of his public golfing career which, necessarily, must be restricted to exhibition matches in the interests of Sweet Charity. "I intend to ploy exhibition matches for charity." said Bobby, "whenever and wherever the opportunity offers, with this stipulation. I'm going to ask for 25 per cent of the receipts to go to a charity trust fund ln At lanta, Ga., the remainder to go to tho local charity putting ou the match. TO DHtKC'T HM) "This trust fund is to be held un der my direction, so far as disburse ments of the principal or Interest aro concerned, and I hope that ln a few years it may accumulate to an amount that Is worth while It's not going to be doled out piecemeal. "Now that I am out of the com petitive phase of the game forever I want to feel that I'm doing some thing for my home town and my home state with the game which I PURE $20-00 $22 Tne Stops For Keep Smiling with fcellys tires at mail order charge of . .55 Wholesale Distributors for Kelly Tires have loved all my life. Of course I cannot go ahead -mid- make up any schedule catling for .regular- uppenr ances not i tour or anything like that.' But I Intend to play when ever people want me to, and It can be done." It was on this basis that Bobby played late In March at Agun Cal icnte with Leo Diegel against George. Von Elm and Morie Dutra. A match also - Is planned in Port land, Oregon, and a coupje ln the Los Angeles district before Bobby is finished with his movies series. TOI KNKY FOR JONKS Willlo'm Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, who has been put or open, golf tournament In the winter at Cntalina Island, has be- ting on a high priced professional, come impressed with the lmnor- tance or more ana oettcr amateur competitions, ana tnis spring, aoout the middle of April, he announces f tho first Bobby Jonea amateur in - It was a suggestion I believe, of Darsie L. Darsie, Los Angeles golf writer, and will supplant the open event 01 iormcr seasons, The trophy for the firsc tourna ment, at which Bobby himself will be a spectator, will be a cup; for future tournaments It will be a handsome silver statue, twenty inches tall, of tho retired champion at the finish of a driving stroke. This, of course, will be a perpet ual trophy, kept at the club, with the winner's name engraved on the bose each year,, and a smaller replica in silver awarded to each victor to keep. "Competitive golf on the coast," Darsie says, "has. . I think, been swinging rather too strongly to the professional phase; a most worthy enterprise, certainly, but likely to bo too emphatically stressed by the sports writers and the public, some times at the expense of the ama teur side of the game. "This decision of Mr. Wrigley's will. I am sure, prove a great en couragement to the amateurs and will be the forerunner of other clas- sic amateur competitions which will ut uoiuULu uvwwi. mew two phases of the sport.
