PINEHURST, N. C., April 15

mand Bruneau of New York by the
iame score.
Virginia Rice Johnston of Boston

Ist Small Chap—My daddy has a

Mrs. Nußryde—l don’t want any
more flour like that you gave me last

ALEX MORRISON says:
At this time of year courses are
soft and muddy. There arc places
where you have to walk up and
down slippery hills, places where
you can easily turn an ankle or
slip and receive an injury that
can be quite serious.
You can prevent such a mishap
by wearing spiked shoes. This
doesn’t mean that you have to
buy an expensive shoe. A pair of
heavy soled and, if possible,
water-proofed shoes will serve to
hold the necessary spikes. There
are several companies making
shoes of this kind. No doubt
you’ve seen them advertised but
felt that your old rubber-soled
standbys would do.
They’ll do you wrong just when
I you least expect it. The rubber
sole becomes thin and slick, just
the thing you want to avoid when
the going is wet and slippery.
: You don’t have to buy shoes espe
i daily for golf. An ordinary street
| shoe with a heavy sole will do.
; You can buy the spikes and put
I them in yourself. The spikes
i should be in the heels also.

WE DON’T SAY the United State#
will have a winner in the 10,000-me
ter run at Berlin. We don’t say an
American will even place. But there
are outstanding stars over the dis
tance in this country. Tom Qttey is
one.
Experts say it looks dark foe the
United States in the distance runs.
Ottey may shed a little light on the
situation in Berlin.
Tom—Thomas O. Ottey —„ is the
former Michigan State athlete,
scholar and leader who was I. C.-4A
cross-country champion in 1933 and
’34, and was 10,000-meter A. A- U.
titleholder in 1932 and agpln W
year.
Active aa Student
Ottey was a leader on the Lans*
ing, Mich., campus. The veteran
campaigner placed his name high in
school affairs in the four-year term
he served there as junior business
administration student.
Tom served as president of the se
nior class in 1925: was head steward
and general manager of the Men’s
Commons in Wells Hall, the college
dormitory for men: was a member
of the senior men’s honorary frater
nity, a member of the national mili
tary organization on the oampus, and
a member of the business aministra-
Uon honorary scholastic fraternity.
When not engrossed with such tasks
as these, Tom worked for hl# board
and room.

Miami Comes North To Meet High
School On Local Terrain In Fall
JACKETS HOPE TO
'REVERSE LUCK IN
pRST MEET HERE
’ _____
Coach John Varnedoe’s SHS foot
ball squad which has been defeated
for the.peet three years by the Miami
High pigskin line-up is looking for
ward kxa change in fortune when the
two groups clash again this year.
For the past three years the two
have battled it out at the Florida re
sort, hub this year the Sunshine State
contingent-is to meet the Bluejackets
on the latter’s own territory. Though
a definite date is yet to be set it has
been agreed the southernmost rivals
of the SHS players will make the trip
to Savarmha next winter.
There will be about 25 experienced
men fighting for positions on the Blue
jacket team when the call is sounded
for fall practice and Coach “Jawn”
is inclined to believe next year’s SHS
color bearers will be something to
reckon with. On the other hand, re
ports drifting north have it that a
heavier, faster and more experienced
squad is in prospect next season at
Miami High.
The line, which for awhile was giv-
Ing Coach Clyde Crabtree plenty of
trouble, shaped up in good fashion dur
ing spring practice. Miami High’s
pony backfield of last reason seems
to have outgrown iteelf and the vet
eran ball carriers didn’t give their men

trials. Every member of last year’s

his feats there show. He was captain
of the crosscountry team in 1933 and
’34. He holds the freshman and var
sity cross-country records for the
course at Michigan State and holds
a couple of other mile and two mile
records.
Tom competed in the 10,000 met
ers (about 6.2 mlies) in the 1932
Olympics. He was then not the great
runner he is today. If his work as
an auditor in Philadelphia, his home
town, doesn't interfere, perhaps Un

monopoly Finland and Poland have
held over the 10,000-meter route in
Olympic history.

GOLF MARATHON ENDS
WITH PLAYERS TIRED,
ISSUE DEADLOCKED
Walter Mingledorff, who rather en
joys playing golf, and Frank Steven
son, pro of the Municipal course,
were pretty well tuckered out today
after playing every golf course about
town yesterday.
The two differed as to whether
hunting or golfing was the most ar
duous sport. Frank suggested the pair
play the town’s five courses. He fig
ured Walter would agree by then
that hunting was a cinch compared
to the ancient Sottish game. Today
Mr. Mingledorff still held his opin
ion—and S few blisters and sore mus
cles. They’ll go hunting in the fall.
The pro averaged a bit less than
79 strokes to the round. Mr. Min
gledorff vaeraged 85 1-5.
