Newspaper Page Text- Li ptts By Whitney llcrtin Wide World Sports Cotumnlst NEW YORK, July 20-JP-No-body in authority yet has said that the army-navy football game might not be played this year, so now would seem to be a good time to put In a plug for it, as it's always a good idea to start 'moving " while the other guy is still fumb ling for his shootin iron. This is strict ly a "who said I snitched the watch is a wiutMy Mortis ; liar? attitude as nobody; has accused anybody of anything or suggested that the . game should not be played, but there will be objections raised : by the anti. There were last year, and the same gents . are still ; around. "."''-.i " Frankly, we can't see any harm in playing the game. The - two . schools are going to play football. . so they might as well play each other as anyone else. -- The . major . objection last year : was based on . the transportation : problem, which was neatly skirted by playing the game in compara tive secrecy at Annapolis, ,Md. i If the crowd still is the main objection, the situation could be handled by playing the game without spectators,- as after an a crowd of f 10,000 or ; 100.000 Is just a man alone in a telephone booth insofar, as general interest "is concerned. That Is, the people who actually could see the game under any conditions would be a negligible quantity compared with the millions who follow it by press and radio. . .: "' As far as transporting the teams to the arena is concerned, that is a minor problem. They even could get a squad in a horse car if ' ne cessary, if the race people would let them move out the .nags for a little while. We've seen the time - when an American horse car : would seem quite a luxury. Those French corn cribs on wheels were ; no bargain. ' . ; ' However, we don't think the transportation of the teams would enter in any argument, as the v baseball teams still go around. In fact, in the case of the Dodgers, they go 'round and 'round. So the sole objection . would see into be the crowd as it per tains to the., transportation prob lem. There would seem to be three alternatives in this situation. First, they could stage the game in a speakeasy manner, I without spectators, .with the nation at large and our far-flung armed 1 forces being given vivid descriptions. Af ter all. that's sll therr Mt-inr. way, except for the 10,000 or 100,- 000 who might ordinarily see the , They might hold it with the at tendance rigidly restricted, as. last year. And lastly, they might throw the gates wide open and strive for as large an attendance as possible, an dto heck with everything. . - --.r. 1 Senator Mead (D-NY) is one who advocates a bumper attend ance, the crowd, under his theory, coming "from the large city in which the game might be held. He suggests an attendance . of from 73,000 to 100,000 to raise a respec table sum of money, and in advo- eating a crowd of that size he au , tomaUcally limits the sites in which the game might be held, as , you can just about count the sta diums of that size in the country without' taking off your shoes. .You have the stadium in Phila ; tfelphia, and Soldier Field in Chi cago, and Ohio State stadium, and the Pasadena Rose Bowl, and New Orleans Sugar Bowl fields, and Yonkee Stadium, , just to name a few that come to mind There arc ' some others, but not many. In fact, Senator Mead's own Buffalo: dis trict has a stadium which would like to be filled. We don't know how many that one holds. The senator couldn't be putting in a 'Plug for his district, could 'bet Anyway, this is all just conjec ture just to beat the gun. on ob jections which are sure to come. We have a hunch the game will be played. -- Pirates Purchase ? Maple Leaf Pair PITTSBURGH, July The Pittsburgh Pirates : Tuesday obtained Infielder - Al : Rubeling from the Toronto Maple' Leafs for an undisclosed amount of cash and the use of Pitcher Harry Shu man on option until the end of the International league season The Buccaneers are desperately in need of an infielder to replace Shortstop Eugene "Huckf Geary, who quit the club last week to re turn home.

July 20 - UPl Bill Chambers," a sleepy sailor from Great Lakes, beat the twilight to the last green and posted an even par 72 to become the medalist Tuesday in the Tarn O'Shanter au-American amateur golf tour nament.' - . Chambers, a third class store keeper at the world's largest na val training; station, fingered a day's growth of beard and smiled broadly as friends whacked his back and congratulated him. ; His par 72, ' together with' Ms 73 yesterday - gave him a 36-hole total of 145 the lowest card in 250 tacked up by his predecessors .who started out at the crack of dawn. Chambers, who raced with nightfall Monday around the.Tam course, never heard the rosters crow, for after returning to Great Lakes, he spent the night study ing how to become a second class storekeeper. He took the test be fore hurrying out to the first tee at noon today. I "That's what was on my mind," he ; smiled. 'Gosh, how I hope I stepped from a third class store man to a second class 'storeman. : His four birdies thus be came somewhat incidental to his ambition of climbing up the na vy's ladder. ; But they .made his golf card read 36-36. Walter Kroll, 27, who has been runner-up for the Soflth Bend, Ind., city championship five times, registered a 38-3573 to total . a 147 for runner-up medalist hon ors.

Wehrle posted a 78 on his signed card Monday, which should permanently have sealed the mat ter in all accordance with the standard code of golf. But the Tarn r u 1 e s committee saw fit Tuesday to" make' a change. ;.' f Although most of " the scores continued to creep upwards, three amateurs managed to match par. Steve Kovach, t he Pittsburgh steel workers, pounded out 38-34, the i last nine being the lowest trip of the tournament; Donohue trumped , with 36-36, and Art Doering of Chicago managed 35- 37. f Sgt.
