Mamaroneck, N. Y., Sept. 7.
(IP) The woods were full of
trees and the fairways full of
golfers as some 130 of the coun
try's best amateurs warmed up
today for the 44th national
championship, which begins at
4 a. m. (P.S.T.) Monday over
the west course of the Winged
Foot Golf club.
There was a brisk breeze to
day which helped make the
practice shotmaking difficult for
some of the lads, but among
those who bettered par were
Wilford Wehrle of Chicago, rat
ed one of the main threats to
defending Champion Marvin
(Bud) Ward; Harold H. Mandly,
Jr., Connecticut open and ama
teur titleholder; Kd Meister of
Cleveland, and Skip Alexander
of Duks university. All shot
one-under-par 71's, the best
scores returned so far.
Of the 10 former champions
entered, eight have checked in.
Besides Ward, they are Chick
Evans, who has shot 76 his last
two times around; Francis Oul
met, Jess Sweetser, Willie Tur-
nesa, Johnny Goodman, Johnny
Fischer and George Dunlap.
Max Marston and Jesse Guilford
haven't shown up yet.
From the way they have and
haven't been scoring, it seems
unlikely any qualifying round
records will be broken, particu
larly if the wind keeps up. The
fairways are playing long and
the greens are rather hard, dif
ficult to stop a ball, so that the
record 36-hole 138 ported at
North Shore a year ago by Tom
my Sheehan of Northvllle,
Mich., will be hard to top.
Sheehan played with Ward,
Art Docrnlng of Chicago and
Fred Haas of New Orleans, in
one of today's practice four
somes. But the only man who
drew any people away from the
clubhouse was Bing Crosby.
The crooner found about 73
people waiting to see him pult
when he reached the ninth
green. He took three pults for
a bogey 6. Then about 30 of
them followed him over the
tenth tee, where they seemed
fully as interested simply in
watching while he sat down to
rest as they were in the aolf
shot he hit.
If he should qualify for match
play and last any time at ali,
he may attract some terrific
galleries. At least he shouldn't
be crowd-shy.
The low 64 will bo Into match

GAME TILL 1942
Chicago, Sept. 7. ip) There
will be no Rose Bowl game be
tween the football champions of
the Pacific coast conference and
the title holders of the "Big
Ten" at least until January 1
1942, if then.
Faculty representatives of the
Western Conference, meeting
today at the request of "Big
Ten" athletic directors to vote
on the proposal for a fixed post
season scries between the two
conferences, failed to reach a
final decision.
After a two hour discussion
they decided to canvass the
views of members of their re
spective faculties and consider
the plan further at their next
meeting in Chicago in Decem
ber.
L. W. St. Aohn, director of
athletics at Ohio State univer
sity, and John L. Griffith, com
missioner of athletics, present
ed the suggestions of. the ath
letic directors. The Pacific coast
conference side was presented
by Prof. Wiliam B. Owens of
Stanford university, a former
president of the West Coast con
ference, and Prof. Charles C.
May of the University of Wash
ington. As result of today's action,
the Rose Bowl committee will
continue its plan of selecting
a team from the nation's out
standing grid aggregations to
oppose the Pacific coast team
in the game Jan. 1, 1941.
