AMERICAN IS j GOLF LEADER Agua Caliente, Mex., Jan. 21.— U.f: Because he made every put’ i count, Ed Dudley, or tne American Hyder cup team, lield a one-stroke ’ lead at the start of the second la holes in the $25,000 Agua Caliente open golf tournament today. Dudley, who hails from Wilming- - ton, Del., shot a par 71 for the first I round o' IS holes yesterday and it was Its work on the greens that i put him at the top of a brilliant < ) field of 116 entrants. 1 While many had trouble getting; par, Dudley dropped five putts in-; to the cups for bird'es. They en-1 . aided him to come in one stroke I under MacDonald Smith, Great I Neck. L. 1., whose 72 gave him see- ' mid position. Harold Long, of I) nver, Colo., and Al Watrous, of Detroit scored 73 s an 1 31 other players had 76 i or tinder. Indicating it will take; at least two 78’s —for yesterday I and today—-to survive the cut to- ■ night. Among those who shared the 71 division was Hot ton Smith, the jvot.n ; Joplin.

The educator struck back at the famous Carnegie. bulletin “23”; which charged several middlewestern universities with subsidizing athletes. He criticized the m ■ hods of the Carnegie investiga ; ition and said: , "Instead of manifesting the atI tit tide of an Impartial and unscientific investigator searching for the I trii'J, it seems to have been the j intention t« find something. As if (the investigator were prosecutor or one nogaged in writing a series of !.muckraking articles on which to 1 j baud serious charges.”
