MEDFORD MATE TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1931. Little, Jr., Wins Amateur Golf Title Handily From Goldman, 8 7 'AGE FOUR COAST STAR USES TERRIFIC POWER TO CRUSH TEXAN Third Player In History To Both Amateur Trophies Sub-Par Golf and Long Shots Mark Finals Com pared To Jones. By Alan J. flould (Associated Pres. Bport. Editor) BROOKLINE, Maw.. Sept. 15. (AP) William Lawson Llttlo Jr., the ttrapplng 83-year old Stanford Uni versity atudent, today became the .'arld's amateur Rolf chBmplon by n.iipnins David (Spec) Goldman, nminDHMii vnunz Texan, by 8 and 7, in the lnal round of the United States amateur tournament. i.uh tjftm-rollered bla way to triumph with much the eame crush ing power he empioyea to mi. tiritiBh amateur crown last May. Be thus became the third golfer In history to hold both of the gTeat amateur trophlea In. the aame year. Harold H. Hilton of England and Robert T. Jonea Jr.. of Georgia were the othere but neither awept to the heights with any more aevaamui.B golf than the Ban Francisco "aelge gun" displayed In spread-eagling his opposition at noma aim Vnm Outclassed 9.vfnr old Dallas metal worker, waa caught In a barrage of .ub-par golf and simply could not let out of It. "Spec." as game a get out of won the first iitr u thev come. hoi. and held the Callfornlan even ... fir.t elcht holes but thereafter his own resources began to crumble and he was literally bat tered to defeat by one of the greatest and most accurate exhibition, of ahoer hitting power ever witnessed In a national amateur tournament. Little shot the second round m 60, two under par-the "nnm of the entire tournament, to become l.va ut He r.Uoworcd Goldman with a .trlng of birdies In the Sever Kl.ing the pressure and en d the one-sided encounter on the aotn re clouting Callfornlan, many of whose tee shot, carried close to 300 yards, never was In anything resemb ling serious trouble. He wo. In only two traps during the entire match and on neither occasion was his ball in the sand o that he never was called on to play an explosion shot. With six birdies and only three holes where he went over par, Little was throe under par for the 20 holos. His margin of triumpn v top-slded as the final match In the British amateur, where he walloped James Wallace, the Scotch carpenter, 14 and 13. It was convincing enouBh, however, to lcavo no doubt whatever that Little Is the abaoluto master of amateur ranks, at home and abroad, for the time being. In succeeding to the title lost earlier In this week's tournament by George T. Dunlap Jr., of New York, the Callfornlan won even successive matchea without be Ing extended. It waa the nearest thing to a one-man tournament alnce Dob Jones retired, for Little was the outstanding favorite from start to finish. nise To Fame The first Callfornlan to win either the British or American amateur titles, Little has shot spectacularly to the twin peaks of golf. Plve years ago he was Just youthful slugger best know as "the man who beat the man who whipped Jones." That was at rebble Beach, In 1030, when Little defeated Johnny Goodman, who had conquered Jones In the first round of the national tournament. The best he had ever done before was to reach the 1033 semi-finals, where he lost to Dunlap. He made the Walker Cup team this year for the first time. Concentrating on the Improvement of his game, mainly under the tutelage of Tommy Armour, the Callfornlan suddenly began to combine accuracv and steadiness with his terrific nower. The result Is at golfing machine which baa been roll ing Irresistibly through all opposi tion, from May to September, and now looks to be the nearest to "a sure thing" in golr since Jones re tired In 1030.

(By Billy Hulen) Faced by the tank of rebuilding a team wrecked by the return of only five letter men out of 17, Howard Hobson will Inaugurate his third year at Southern Oregon Normal school with the call to football arms Monday, September 17. Around those five lettermen Hob son will endeavor to hammer out football machine that will face eight tough encounters In as many succes sive weeks and, from pre-season ap pearance!, it looks like a big Job. McLean Baric Leading the all too-short Hat of experienced men will be Cliff (Chief) McLean, the all-around Indian ath lete, who will hold down a halfback position, and Harvey Oaken, the big tackle of two years' service. Other monogram winners will be Roy North am, guard, with one year un der his shoulder pads; Bob Beach, fullback, with the same, and Connie Mahoney, the tiny three-year letter- man, at center. These boys will form the nucleus of a team which, according to Hob son, will be nearly on a par with Sons teams the past two years which have won ten, lost three and tied one, with one of those defeats being at the hands of Oregon State's Iron Men last fall. Reserves May Show Strength Among the reserves who will turn to school and who may fill the vacant holes left by a dozen nou returning lettermen are: Bill Cook, John Chlpley, Dick McKlnsey, Boo Brad dock, all halfbacks, and Billy Courtney, quarterback. In the line will be: Ordway Fritz, center, Earl Hank Ins, Ira Towns and . Emmett Marshall, guards: and Allen Wilson and Bud Lin d ley, ends.

OWNER POWELL .t O'FARRELL INI By FEEBLE WIND NEWPORT, R. I., Sept. 15. (AP) Rainbow, defender of the America's cup, most prized of all yachting tro phies, today was deprived of victory over Endeavour, the British challen ger. In the opening engagement of the 15th challenge series by a feeble breeze. After Rainbow had led her rival around almost the entire 80-mlle windward-leeward course, the five and a half hours allowed for the con test expired and the Balling match was declared no contest." Rainbow was a little more than half a mile from the finish line when the race committee hauled down the red ball signifying the time limit. Endeavour at the time trailed Raiu- bow by about three-elghta of a mile. If the Inconclusive contest proved anything, It was that Harold S. Van- derbllt and his crew sailed a better race than T. O. M. Sopwlth, the chal lenger, and his men. largely composed of recently recruited amateurs. It also appeared to show the In vader Is not so dangerous a contest ant In light airs as she was expected to be. Of course It must be remem bered that a racing yacht's perform ance In Impossibly light air has no real standing, it Is what they can do In a sailing breeze that decides yatchlng contests. Today's course represented a 16- mtle beat to windward against a slight southeasterly breeze to a -mark about five miles west of No Man's Land and return. The breeze never exceeded five or six knots and much of the time the zephyrs were scarcely strong enough to move the contenders. T HIT BY PIRATES PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14.

(AP) Btalklng fearsomely through th. tule rushes that line the mar gin, of lake, and shallow water areas, death was decimating the population of wild water fowl In southern Ore gon and northern California. Direct action wa Indicated, if the blrda were to be aaved from this Strang, poison of alarming virulence. The result was establishment of the Klamath Palls "duck liospltal." Many thousands of ducks, teal spoonbills, guile, grebe and geese had been stricken by the desdly poison, described by some aa a form of bo tulism. The rushes of the lakes sheltered hundreds and hundreds of dead fowl, and other thousands, dy Ing. lined the margins of the lake. Exceedingly rapid recession and evaporation of the lake waters was blamed for the strange malady. Hugh M. Worcester, federal game protector, hurried to extend aid. Large area, of freah-water pens were built along Link river. Game work era and sportsmen went through the lake areas picking up the dying birds and liberating them in the enclosures of the "duck hospital." To date per haps 3000 of the water blrda have been aalvaged and practically all are recovering. Meanwhile the rescue work goes on. No thorough knowledge of the dis ease or poison has yet been rralne:!. There Is divided opinion as to wheth er lt 1. contagious. The malady rs sults In a form of paralysis and the stricken bird is unable to rise from the water. Soon It becomes blind and loses control of the neck. Then lt either drowns or makes for the protection of the tule rushes where lt dies. Many sportsmen are co-operating In salvaging the ailing birds which generally are so weak they offer no resistance to capture. They soon re cover, however, when placed In the fresh water pools of the hospital; the misty film dlssppears from the eyes; they are ablo to swim and feed again within a few days, and soon are ready to be released. Worcester has estimated that 80 per cent of the salvaged fowl will recover. Dr. Sleeter at Offlco Contrary to current reports that he Is seriously ill and unable to be In his office. Dr. R. W.
