Bobby Jones
Not To Play
In Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 19.—(AP)
—Officials of the Masters Golf
tournament say a mneck injury
dating back at least 29 years has
temporarily ended Dobby Jones’
annual appearance.
Clifford Roberts, chairman of
the Mastegys Tournament Com
mittee, made it official today al
though Jones said several weeks
ago he would not play.
Roberts said Jones {first no
ticed a “crick” in his neck and a
iame shoylder in Scotland n
1926, He added, “I think it is
proper, to state frankly that his
(Jones) cperation (last October)
was quite serious but that a com
plete recovery is expected.
“Crick” in INeck
“As a result of an injury to the
upper part of the spine which 1s
believed by his doctors tc have
cccurred when he was quite

he ralled a ‘crick’ in his neck and
a lame shoulder.”
Neither Jones nor his doctors
knew the origin of the tiroubis
until last fall.
The operation, which hospital
ized Jones for several weeks,
was to relieve pressure on tihe
spinal cord which affected his
central nervous system.
Jones is now able to do a half
day’s work at his law office and
he plens to attend the Masters

Blood - Thirsty Fans
Give Rupp Headaches
LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 19.— (AP) —Kentucky Bas
ketball Coach Adolph Rupp velled back at his tormentors
today—thoze blood-thirsty fans who have been shouting
for scoring records the minute a Wildcat team steps onto
the playwngz floor.
It is the price of possessing a
team capable of smashing the
record book with most any ap
pearance and Rupp admitted it,
but he has some points he wanted
cleared up.
First, any record that falls in
any given game will result from
40 minutes of hard playing. There
will be no deliberate potshots at
the records—team or individual.
Second, it is not Kentucky poli
cy to crush a weak opponent if the
tide can be checked. The object
is to play a winning game and let
as many players as possible parti
cipate.
But the most distressing point
of all has been the loud chant to
let Alex Groza, the team’s most
prolific point-maker, go after the
individual Southeartern Confer
ence scoring record he surrend
ered this week to Vanderbilt’s Bill
Joe Adcock.
Sleepless Nights
“That one keeps me awake
nights,” Rupp moaned. “Of course,
we’d like to see Alex regain the
scoring record. We'd like to see
Cliff Barker or Ralph Beard or
Wallace Jones—and of the boys—
ring the bell. But if they do it, it
will result from team play and
effort.
“I cannot and will not risk in
jury to a man on the team for the
sake of setting a record. The big
gest worry I have is the possibili
ty of getting a man like Groza
injured. Where would we be
then?”
Rupp says he had made excep
tions and might again, such as the
game last week when Groza cap
tured the S. E. C. record. There
were 50 second to play and Rupp
said he knew Alex needed only a
couple of points to shatter the
mark. On time out, he suggested
to the players that Groza be given
a chance.
Groza broke the mark with 34
points. Then Adcock came back
last Monday night to score 36.
