Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

MERION, Pa., Sept. 24. THE velvet green lawns of the championship course here presented a crazy, mad, chaotic picture Tuesday. Mrs. Jones’ chubby boy was out there on the links banging away at a little white golf ball to lead the qualifying field in the national amateur with 142. Thousands of people were on the course, Mrs. Jones’ boy would step out on the tee and immediate'y the thousands would start galloping down both lines of the fairway, stampeding marshals, marines and state policemen. a tt a There would be a wait of ten or fifteen minutes on each tee. Presently some semblance of order would be achieved and Mrs. Jones’ boy would throw away his rigaret, walk up to the ball, squint through the sunlight In the direction of lb green and tear off a shot. a tt tt This would be the signal for another Insane rush, a wild, furious scramble for new points of vantage and another wait (or order, during which time Mrs Jones bov would light a fresh cigaret, rest hlmelf on the top of his driver, his tired bronzed face motionless. a a a From one hole to another the disorganized parade of hysteria would charge, a boiling, foaming river that drenched the fairways In eager, intense, excited thou-sands—-youths who had crashed the gate at this exclusive Cricket Club to see the idol of the American links in action. lovely young things in gay colored frocks from adjacent Bryn Mawr, sleek haired collegians, middle-aged business men, dowagers who puffed and snorted as they tried valiantly to keep up with the onrushing tides. a a tt It was a typical golf gallerv blown up to unusual dimensions, and fired by an extraordinary excitement. a a a The golf enthusiast—or nerhaps ft fs rloser to the fart to sav the Bnbbv Jones enthusiast—will subject himself to more phvsicial punishment to satisfy his craving than anv other kindred fiend known to all the snorts. a tt tt I used to think the football filbert, who sits through rain and snow to watch his | alma mater battle was the all-America nut. but he doesn't run one. two. three j and a half with the golfing goof. a tt tt Incidentally, there is no telling how big a crowd w ould assemble to see this chantpionsh'n if it were possible to provide them with reserved accommodations after the manner of such snorts as arc eonducted within the enclosure of stadiums. a a a IF Mrs. Jones’ boy survives the two suddefi-death rounds today and continues on to the finals Saturday, the officials will be confronted with the most perplexing and trying task in the history of golf crowds. a a a In or, sr (o forestall a completely unmanage: ila situation, it is possible that a decision will be made limiting the sale of tickets. At the moment this seems to he the only possible way to avoid a situation which might easily degenerate into a panic.

Shortage of Regulars Gives Zuppke Problem With Illini

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Corresoondent CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—But- for the fact Coach Zuppke is especially dangerous when he is the underdog, the University of Illinois would be given little consideration in the 1930 Big Ten football campaign. Zuppke likes to work with anew squad, and particularly with athletes whose ability never has been praised. He has such a squad this season, with only one regular player from his 1929 team back in action, and Illinois followers are hoping he will be as successful in building a new r team as he was the last time he faced a similar situation. In 1927. Zuppke took a green team and developed his famous “starless squad,” which won two successive Big Ten titles and took second place in 1929. Out of a list of eighteen men awarded varsity letters in 1929 only three are available for duty. The returning lettermen are Yanuskus, regular half back; Captain Robinson, who saw considerable substitute service at full back, and Hill, substitute tackle. Eddie Kawal, 1929 regular center, was declared ineligible Tuesday. Zuppke has few worries over his back field. Yanuskus and Robinson

Hornsby received the news cf his appointment with the calm of one who has been awaiting a certainty, and within twelve hours was discussing his policies and announcing that he would be opposed to trading Hack Wilson, the hard hitting center fielder, who leads the major leagues in home runs.
