MEMPHIS, Tenn. Oct.5 (U.P). — Match play In the 41st annual Women’s National Golf Championship began today with 64 survivors from a field of 119 matching strokes
for the undefended crown of Pamela |
Barton of Great Britain. A new favorite loomed in Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page of Greensboro, N. C.,, who captured medal honors for the second successive year when _ she shot a par equaling 79 over this "6440-yard course, sodden from three days of intermittént rain. While most of the players were " bothered by the slow greens and © soggy fairways, Mrs. Page played >" steadily throughout, going over par but twice and making up the lost strokes with a pair of birdies for a ~ 39-40—179. “+ Her cool shotmaking under these adverse conditions sent her into the * I8-hole round of matchplay favored “over Marion Miley, slender star from Lexington, Ky. who had been in- . stalled as the pretourney choice because of her victory last week in the Southeast, Invitation. Miss % Miley played well on the first nine, card“ing a 41, but her game fell apart coming home and she shot a 46 for an 37. : Mrs. Page meets Marion Leachman of Berkeley, Cal, and Miss Miley is to engage Virginia Fox of Hershey, Pa.

Nebraska Due to Collide With Pitt ‘And That Should Be a Game, Joe Thinks
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer . NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—~When the 1937 football schedules were released, the confirmed addicts , groaned because Minnesota and _ Pittsburgh weren’t going to meet. It generally was agreed that this would be a football game! Minne-
. sota the perennial national power
and Pittsburgh the Rose Bowl champions. A natural if there ever was one. The Goliaths of the wide open spaces against the Titans of the East. And they aren’t going to meet. How awful! That's how it seemed to the eager dramatists of the sport 48 hours ago. Today the deficiency in the schedules isn’t quite so disAs a climatic struggle a
© + Williams turbing.
. ' meeting between Minnesota and
Pittsburgh wouldn't mean very much. Minnesota no longer marches with the undefeated. The Golden Gophers failed to survive their first real test of the new season. They fell before the swift, alert charge of an underrated Ne_braska team making its first appearance under the coaching genius of Lawrence (Biff) Jones, late of the ‘United States Army. And as a solace to the aforementioned dramatists, Nebraska plays Pittsburgh next month. There was a great personal triumph for the affable Biffer—and it must have been a severe jolt to Bernie Bierman. On reflection, perhaps it wasn’t. The Minnesota coach had predicted a close game, had _ even suggested gloomily the possibility of defeat. But to the followers of the Gophers it certainly was a blow; they were pretty sure they had another all-conquering machine out that way.

- Johnny Howell - Praised by Jones
'In a wire to this department the Biffer gives the major credit for the ‘spectacular victory to Johnny Howell, Nebraska's veteran quarterack. . . . “His generalship was saultless.. We had just two scoring chances and Howell took complete advantage of both. His judgment, poise and skill cannot be underestimated. Also his accurate punting had a very definite effect on the result. He kept the dangerous Uram bottled up all afternoon. An interesting point was that this was Howeli’s first performance as a punter in varsity competition.” The Biffer adds the morale of his squad was admirable, the week before the game and all during the game. . . . “They had that quiet, firm confidence that commands respect. They had even me feeling confident.” , . . , The Biffer says the turning point came. . . . “When we took a punt, on our own 3-yard line . and made a triple lateral that got + the ball out to the 20. From that point our boys took an extra hitch in their belts, rolled up their sleeves and went to work. . . . “It was a tough hard game and a fine one to . win. Those fumbles didn’t do Min- . nesota any good. Minnesota is still «a great team. Don’t sell em short.”
Jones Outstanding At West Point
At West Point Capt. Lawrence Jones was an outstanding officer, highly esteemed both as a gentleman . apd’ a military tactician. He had
played varsity football and in the
“matural course of the academy
. routine he eventually became the
West Point coach. In this capacity ‘he became singularly successful. The infricate maneuvers of football with its checks and balances on defense and offense was pleasantly reminis-
cent of the military to which he had planned to dedicate his life. Pretty
soon he found that football interested him more than the Army. For a while he managed to function in both fields. : One of his assignments carried
Rough Tactics in Derby Shift Lead
After a series of penalties to Roller Derby leaders at the Fair Grounds, the team of Tiny McDowell and Billy Lyons climbed into the lead. They enjoyed today a six-point lead over their closest competitors, Wes
Aronson and Hazel Roop. : Aronson and Roop dropped from the lead after a series of penalties to the big Swede. Aronson spent seven minutes in the “doghouse” for his roughouse tactics. Grace Freid and Mary Youpelle were each fined $10 for engaging in a hair-pulling and fist-throwing exhibition after they had been repeatedly warned by the track referee. It was the wildest night of skating since the meet opened seven days ago. Nearly every skater was sent to the penalty box for some infraction of the rules.

him to Louisiana State University, then a political pawn in the hands of the incredible Huey Long. There came a time, inevitably, when Long tried to run the football team and
the Biffer, a man of character, ordered him off the bench. In those days the imperious Long took orders from no man. The next year the Biffer was coaching elsewhere.
At about this time the War Department issued an order which in effect demanded that Army officers
work and coaching careers. By now the Biffer had become completely fascinated by football tactics, so he resigned from the Army. Anybody who knows him and his feeling for the Army can appreciate this was not an easy decision. The West Pointers didn’t greet the decision with enthusiasm. They don’t like to see their comrades stray away. But I feel they know the Biffer; they know what a fine officer he was; and they know, in later years, how he warmed to football. So today on the Plains he’s probably as big a favorite as ever. . . . One of their guys beat Minnesota, didn’t e

Illini Await Notre Dame
Many Tickets Unsold, Fans Are Assured.
URBANA, Ill, Oct. 5.— From Champaign .to Urbana and back again it was evident today that when Notre Dame comes into town Saturday to play the Illini for the first time since 1898 the Irish will get a warm reception. On the stadium practice field Illini freshmen were launching the far-famed- Notre Dame shift against the varsity. Meanwhile student leaders were making arrangements for a monster pep meeting to be held on the drill field Friday night. A steady sale of tickets indicated that the clash would attract the largest crowd since Army filled the stadium in 1929, but Manager C. E, Bowen assured fans that tickets still were available and probably would be until game time. He said the crowd may reach 50,000. 3 Head Coach Bob Zuppke said he had pointed his early season practice for the Notre Dame invasion, and that he hoped to spring a major sure prise against the Irish
