Golf Pros Of Future
To Be College Men
By WHITNEY MARTIN
• AP Columnist
Inasmuch as it's rather diffi
cu l t to , teach a caddy cart to
swing a golf club, the leading
pros of the future will come from
the ranks of college-educated
young men.
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.
No matter what course a boy
takes in college—music, mathe
matics or whatnot—he is training
his mind to think. Grinding the
gears in his mind to precision
fineness, you might say.

what the mind means in golf—

really put on a "show" for the
spectators at the Blue-White
track meet last Saturday.
After Chuck Drazenovich had
tossed the shot put, he asked
Werner to show the proper form
for the crowd. The Lion coach
took the "16-pound shot" in his
hand, wound up and ga . e it a

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.

to the Penn State intercollegiate
sports program 40 years ago.

Thinclads Face Pitt Away
Today In Last Dual Meet
Penn State's track team will end its dual meet season this after
noon when the Lion cinderxnen meet the University of Pittsburgh
at Pitt Stadium.
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.

8 Horses
Race Today
In Preakness
BALTIMORE, May 18 (A')—The
75th Diamond Jubilee Preakness
comes up tomorrow at Pimlico
Race Track and the lady own
ers will have a big part in the
battle of eight horses for a rich
post of $llO,OOO.
As expected, when the entry
box closed this morning eight
three-year-olds were signed up
for the mile and three-sixteenths
middle jewel in the Kentucky
Derby-Preakness-Belmont triple
crown.
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.
Just to get an idea how dizzy
the thing can get, some people
think the Greentree pair will be
the public' choice of a crowd esti
mated to hit 35,000. This is main
ly because Big Stretch, one of the
top winter book favorites for the
Derby, seems to have come up to
peak form.
