George Hall, golf coach at Cornell University, makes that prediction, and the idea is echoed by Gene Saiazen. "Mark my words," Hall says emphatically, "ten years from now the college graduates will be doininating pro golf, as the for mer caddies do now. Why? Be cause there aren't many caddies any more. "And why shouldn't a college graduate turn golf pro? A gradu ate of the mechanical engineer ing school, say, must be brilliant. And what do they offer him when he finishes school? About $3,600 a year. A young fellow can do a lot better than that playing golf if he's good, so you can't blanie him for turning to the sport." Sarazen, the farmer, had just come in from the north 40 at his Germantown, N. Y., place when we contacted him. He'd been get ting callouses riding a tractor. "Short of help, you know," he said brightly. "I'll have my' corn planted by Monday, then I'll run down to New York to see my shoemaker. I was just swinging my weighted club when you called. That's right," he continued, re ferring to Hall's statement. "I noticed down at the Master's that most , of...the amateurs were col lege players. The caddy cart has replaced the caddies. "The caddies used to develop their swings while carrying your clubs—you've seen them. down the fairway swinging away. "Another thing, the players will be greater than ever in the future, as they'll be able to think.

Middies Host State Golfers At Annapolis Penn State's golf team will be out to capture its fourth victory, the third in a row, when it meets strong Navy in Annapolis today. Navy, with a record of 6-2 for the season has been beaten only by Princeton and Pittsburgh. State's current record is 3-2, hav ing lost both to Georgetown. Coach Bob Rutherford expects a good hard contest from the powerful Midshipmen and said it would really be a credit to his team should it upset Navy. Third in Easterns In the Eastern' Intercollegiate Go 1 f Association tournament which was held last weekend, the Midshipmen were the defending champions and came out with third place. State ended in a tie for seventh place with George town. ' Last year Navy defeated the Lion linksmen by a 7-0 score— the first time State had been shutout in years. About the Middies, Ruther ford said: "Navy has a definite advant age concerning pre-season prac tice because their courses can be put into shape much earlier than Penn State's. Still, Captain Joe Durniak and the boys will be in there gOing their best." The State lineup today will consist of five lettermen and two newcomers. Ted Robertson, Captain Durn iak, Marvin Goldenberg, and Ray Artz are the lettermen, while Hut Samson and Bob Bowers are the newcomers. John Wylie who is also back from last year's squad will also make the trip. , Tennis and soccer were added to the Penn State intercollegiate sports program 40 years ago. whizzed through school shows what kind of a mind he has—a precision mind; 'one that can make decisions."

Talk around the Smoky City is not so much about'a Pitt team victory, but rather on a 'personal repeat triumph for Pitt miler Frank Kuzma. Last season, Kuzma, as a sophomore, turned in a fine 4:17 effort to leave the cream of State's distance power, Bill Ashenfelter, Bob Freebairn, and Don Ashenfelter trailing in that order. -Today Bill Ash and Freebairn along with soph miler Bob Geh man will be out to avenge that loss. Coach Chick Werner is playing his four aces from the indoor sea son in today's mile relay. Bill Lockhart, John Lauer, Gus Kay, and John McCall make up the quartet that will run the event. Bill Polito, Jim• Davis, and Lockhart will go in the 100 and 220 sprints with any one of them possible winners. In the two mile, Don Ashen felter, Jack St. Clair and Bill Ashenfelter will carry the Lion colors. The 880 shapes up as the one race which on the season record, Pitt must be rated the favorite. The Panthers' John Kountz did 1:54 last week. Bob Parson, Dave Pierson, Bob Roessler, and Free bairn will really have to step to match that time. In the high arid low hurrdles, George Kline and Fred Singer have a chance to check in with a win since Honan of Pitt has only done 15.7 in the highs and 25.8 in the lows. The 440 has Statesmen McCall, Lauer, and Kay running for the Lions. Weightmen Bob Krayer, Joe Sutovsky, Dick Cripps, Al Schutz, and Tom McDermott will have their hands full. Sorce has done 48 feet in the shot, and Dressel has spun the discus 140 feet for Pitt. Owen Wilkinson will match jumps with Pitt's Yedlicka in the pole-vault. Ted Roderer along with Bob Gower will toss the javelin for the Lions. • v. • tf-••• ' SPAINtIOs • ' ~.. p ..„. 4 ,„ 0 ....., .. T ., ~,,,,,,, , .

Aside from the principal query, who's going to win, the main question around buzzing Balti more was which horse will be the favorite since there is no stand out.
