By GERRY SWINEHART International Illustrated News Writer CORAL GABLES, Fla., Jan. 14— Harry Cooper, British-born star of the links, whose peerless iron play makes him the man to beat in major tournament action throughout the year, ranks No. 1 in the honor roll of American professionals for 1936, the All-American golf selected by Tony Manero the reigning national open champion. Cooper overhauled five aces in coming from sixth place on Johnny Revolta’s 1935 All-American teaYn, but even more sensational is the joint push engineered by Manero’s second and third selections, Denny Shute and Ralph Guldahl, who have been unranked in the first ten for the previous two years. ( Only five of last year’s All-Amer-icans hit high enough standards of performance in 1936 to hold their places in the select circle against the challenges of the younger battalion, according to Manero. Manero’s All-American golf team for 1936 follows: No. 1, Harry Cooper; No. 2, Denny Shute; No. 3, RalEh Guldahl; No. 4, Henry Picard; so. 5, Horton Smith; No. 6, Gene Sarazen; No. 7, Ky Laffoon.

Lone Star Deitz, Jim Thorpe’s I Carlisle Mate, Also an Artist

By EVERETT C. GERRY International News Service I Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14 (INS)— The more you look at William F. (Lone Star) Dietz, 200-pound muscular freshman football coach at Temple University, the easier it is to visualize him as the hard-driving tackle on the old Carlisle line who opened wide holes for the great Jim Tnorpe to gallop through. Glance, toq. at those powerful hands and ycra can readily picure what they could have done to opposing linemen. The fingers appear built best to grasp a football. Few among the big German-Indi-an’s youthful proteges suspected their coach’s sinewy paws are those of the artist. Given a brush and seated before an easel, Dietz displays a surprising flair for sketching or painting. Those thick fingers seem to lengthen and become more slender, and

from first to fourth, Sarzen fell from fourth to sixth, and Hunyan tobaggoned from 3rd to tenth. Aside from Cooper, the only other ace to climb in the ratings is~Horton Smith ninth a year ago and now fifth in Manero’s choices. The newcomers are Shute, who dominated the 1933 selections of Gene Sarazen, standing No. 1 on the ’33 list, but who faded from the picture in 1934 and 1935; Guldahl, ranked eighth by Sarazen in ’33 and unranked the last two years; Ky Lafoon, who made his best showing in 1934 when he was ranked second to Olin Dutra, then open champion; and Jimmy Hines and Byron Nelson, arriving contenders who are making the All-American team this year for the first time. Sam Parks, Jr., Craig Wood, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, and Victor Ghezzi. grouped in the first ten last year by Revolta, then national professional champion do not figure in Manero’s ratings. Crowning the fifth king-pin of American golf in as many years, Manero, who Tioes not rank himself makes Cooper the successor to a line which began with Olin Dutra in 1932, and has included Denny Shute, ’33 ruler; Paul Runyan, *34 leader, and Henry Picard., ’35 leader-.

overs from 1935, Picard dropped Harry Cooper because of his. consistent scoring throughout the year” said Manero. “Despite his highstrung temperature, Cooper compiled the amazing figure of 71.84 average strokes per round for 84 rounds. Though he lost the Radix cup for low average scoring to Guldahl, who had an average of 71.63, Cooper narrowly missed winning the national open and he played in 17 more tournament rounds than did Guldahl. “Cooper is the greatest master of iron play in the game today, and his record during 1936 has included his victory in the St. PauFopen and good showings in’the P. G. A. championship and other events. “Shute the imperturbable is back in the running, and gets the No. 2 spot by virtue of his victory in the P. G. A. championship, ana second money showing at Seattle and Augusta. He is not spectacular but a fine shotmaker and cold steel under fire,” Monero said. Guldahl has been the sensation of the year, pressing Horton Smith for money-winning honors and winning the western open with 274 the lowest winning score of the year in theUnied States. Guldahl also won the Augusta event, and carried off the year’s biggest golf nugget, the $2,500 first prize in the Miami Biltmore $lO,000 open.”

Suggests Plan For Helping Grid Players

Movie Director, Ex-Footballer, Says / Athletes Should Be Aided And Tells How

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 14 (INS)— An interesting plan whereby college athletes can be given legitimate help in paying for their school expenses while taking part in athletics has been suggested by Sam Wood, Me-tro-Goldwyn-Mayer director and a fellow who knows whereof he speaks. Wood believes that youths who want college educations and are football players, for example, should be granted living expenses during the season, opportunities for jobs after season, the right to borrow from a fund for incidentals and that all colleges should offer the same inducements to everyone. It rhight seem surprising that a screen director should voice his opinions on such an academic problem until one knows Woods’ background. He hiniself is a former football player who was offered inducements to go to college. He has played semiprofessional football and for years has been one of the foremost followers of football in Los Angeles. Helped Many As a personal thing, he has aided many students, athletes and non-ath-letesj"’ in meeting school expenses and has been a close friend for years of various football players in Los Angeles. “I have talked with hundreds of football players about their problems and I have never found one who wanted any more out of their football talents than a chance to play on the team and be able to live while doing so,” Wood revealed; “Colleges could all siy ‘We offer tuition and living expenses,. That is more than is done now when a team goes on a trip or an amateur benefit track meet or tennis tournament* is held. In the latter, those who are willing to come and compete are told that their expenses will be paid while they are competing. That is all, but it is all an athlete wants. He cannot make trips and stay at hotels out of his own pocket and should not be expected to do so. At Disadvantage “The boy who goes out for football should not be penalized for doing so,” Wood asserted. “He is penalized when he is expected to give up his enire afternoon lyhile nonathletes are using these hours to work their way through school. He can’t hold a job without some sort of subterfuge and play football at the same time. So why not be fair and admit that? You say he could work at night but when then could he really study to keep up grades and how capable would ne be of holding the place on a team at practice the next day?” Scholarships are openly given to athletes, with even more going to non-athletes, so why hot as openly afford living expenses,. Wood asks. “Such a plan, I feel, would serve to prevent over-anxious alumni of various schools from bidding against one another for the enrollment of a certain boy who happens to be a stellar player,” he says. “Such a situation is deplorable.” Want to Play “Most boys I have learned, dislike being "harassed by offers,” he states. “They want first of all to get a college education and to play football. Only a few, I believe ever think beyond the fun of playing the ’950 ROUND TRIP TO (Chicago Every Week-end Travel in comfortable B &O coaches Art obow* New Low Fore* Fverywftere—Every Doy * Hbt detaDa conault Ticket Atent Baltimore & Ohio W.

game. » , “If all colleges could promise the same thing, then the men who try to get students to go to certain colleges could argue about scholastic advantages.’’ What of the boy who really wants to make money out of his abitliy on the gridiron? © “That’s easy,” said Wood. “There is a perfect spot for him, professional football. He can get all the action and fun he-wants while he’s being paid. Let that boy turn pro; colleges shouldn’t want, him anyway.” Operates In Ambulance VIENNA, Jan. 14 (INS) —A unique life-saving operation was performed by a local practitioner in an ambulance on the road between Baden. Lower Austria, and Vienna. A women-patient. suffered from a severe abscess in the windpipe was transferred in an ambulance from Baden to a Vienna hospital. When only a short distance from Vienna she showed signs of suffocation, and she would have died before reaching the hospital, if the accompanying physician, Dr. J. Kern of Baden, had not the presence of mind to conduct an operation in the ambulance on the roadside. He cut her throat and saved her life.
