Golf Not Strenuous Enough for Modern Youth, Claims Famous Coach Links Pastime Splendid Sport, Says Knute Rockne, but Lacking in Team Play.

BY KNUTE ROCKNE lin - -pcrial ( orrespondent SOUTH BEND. Ind.. July 9.—The other day the writer received a rather abusive letter from a golf fan who defends the old Scotch pastime vigorously and assailed me strongly for not advocating golf for the schoolboy. Perhaps we misunderstand one another. If I had a son in high school or college, I certainly would V 'Mi I want hlm ?° J out for whatever team games he was physically V . t \ i fitted. I would not have Rockne recreation. I would not agree, j however, if my youngster insisted on playing golf and nothing else. I do not believe the game is ' strenuous enough for a physically.

j fit youth, nor does it teach any of jthe lessons of team play which are ' so vital in our modern life. The day of the great individual is past. This is a day of organization and team play. I would want my son to play on the basketball, baseball or football teams, if only as a scrub, as give and take games of this nature involve team play. He would acquire habits that would develop him physically, emotionally, and mentally, which perhaps he could acquire in no other way. This present tendency to play nothing but golf shows a softness of our present youth because of too much ease and wealth, although I do admit it is superior to the dance [floor, davenport, or rumble seat, which seems to be the favorite dl- | version of too many of our growing boys.

High Salaried Brooklyn Stars Ineffective; Lose Eleven Games. DAZZY HAS SORE ARM Doug Troubled by Lack of Control. BY WILLIAM J. DUNN United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 9.—Some four or five months ago Uncle Wilbert Robinson, venerable president-man-ager of the Brooklyn Robins, came forth with the formal announcement that in Dazzy Vance and Doug (Buzz) McWeeney he had two of the finest pitchers in baseball. So sure was Robby of the worth of the pair mentioned he backed his contention with $37,500 in hard, collectable cash. To Vance, strikeout king of the National League for years, Robinson awarded a contract calling for $25,000. McWeeney’s vote of confidence was $12,000. During the first half of the 1929 season Vance, in return for the $12,500 he receives for that period, pitched Brooklyn to five victories. McWeeney’s $6,000 for the same period resulted in three Brooklyn trumphs. Together the pair have lost eleven games—Vance four and McWeeney seven. Vance led the league last year ir; earned runs allowed with a percentage of 2.09 per nine innings. He won 22 games against 10 defeats and he struck out an even 200 opposing batsmen. Mcweeney’s record was not as impressive for his fourteen victories in 1928 were offset by fourteen defeats. His earned run average of 3.15 was proof, however, of his ability on the mound. Vance has been unable to take his regular turn on the mound because of varying and frequent ailments. He has been troubled with weak kidneys and sore muscles from the first of the year. At the present he is nursing a sore arm. McWeeney’s trouble is harder to define. He just can’t seem to pitch the baseball of which he has proved himself capable in the past. When he has the opposing batters swinging uselessly he becomes wild and loses control of the ball. If his control is good the batters pound his deliveries to all comers of the park. There still is hope for both of them, especially Vance. If Dazzy can get back into condition without too much delay he may yet go on to build up a fairly presentable record ( this year. The season is too nearly j gone, however, for either to pitch ; himself into records worthy of his salary.
