Tve never been able to afford them," the 25-year-old University golfer says frankly.

Five feet two, and weighing 112 pounds small for almost any kind of an athlete, Rosalyn got into golf In the first place only because her family lives only a couple of blocks from the University course. The family includes her parents and a couple of brothers, none of them golfers. "I've done lots of practicing," admits the former Marshall high school student whose short irons are probably the best among the state's women golfers. "And I've watched Les (Bol-stad, University pro) and the University golfers hit the ball. I got a lot out of that." But that's the only thing resembling lessons.

In the face of that, it's really amazing that quiet, little Rosalyn has such deftness with her trusty No. 8 iron and with her putter. Owl Fails eeo ft jl. EVERY subject from Memorial Stadium down through track and baseball comes in for discussion in "The People's Column" this week. Finally one dissenter on increasing the size of the stadium has broken through the postcards and letters in favor of it.

So let's lead off with a "no" vote. It comes from R. E. Button of Aldrich, who writes: "I am inclined to agree with your correspondence In regards to the situation at Memorial Stadium. Seating capacity is not sufficient to handle the crowds which have flocked to that stadium for football games each Saturday during the season.

"I-have attended many games at the stadium and can honestly say there is no other sport I more thoroughly enjoy than footbaU, especially when played by the Golden Gophers. "However, I am certain there is more than one side to the question of enlarging the stadium, which houses our football games. The University of Minnesota is second to none as an educational institution. The young men who are educated here find vocations all over the world and spread their doctrines. The educational aspect is by far the most prominent cause we have in the world.

"Sports, no matter how thoroughly enjoyed and revered by all, must, when necessary, be considered a secondary issue. VVitn the educational system of Minnesota in such a plight as we find it today for one, do not think it is wise to consider any large expenditure for anything in the line of sports that will detract from the overall job of educating our people. "There is plentv of room in the field of professional sports to satisfy the most rabid fan, but please leave our schools free to do a real job of educating." COMMENT We believe that Mr. Button isn't aware of the method of financing athletic facilities and programs at the University of Minnesota. The state contributes very little (something like $30,000 a year) to these activities.

Everything that has to do with athletics is financed through admission receipts. A A She's for It MRS. RICHARD E. DUFFY of Minneapolis is 100 per cent for enlarging the stadium as she writes: "Thank goodness a drive has been started to enlarge the football stadium! j. "1 can't see that there are even two sides to this argument.

Even if the enrollment of students does drop off, think of the alumni we are gaining year after year. And there are thousands of fans other than alumni. a "In a locality of over 1,000,000 people it's hard to believe there should be any question whether or not we need a larger COMMENT Postcards or letters on this matter have fallen off during the past week, but we'll handle them as long as they keep coming.

Aberdeen, Duluth Split Twin Bill By Asioclated Pren Aberdeen and Duluth, the one-two teams in the Northern league, today retained their rela tive standing after splitting a double header Friday night. The Minnesotans scored a 1-0 shutout in the first contest behind the three-hit pitching of Joe Svetlick and the Pheasants came back for an 84 count in the nightcap. Third place Eau Claire dropped a close 7-6 decision to the Fargo-Moorhead Twins, who came from behind in the last three innings for the win. Another tight game found the Sioux Falls Canaries victors by 3-1 over the Superior Blues. In the second bargain bill of the night Wes Rinker gave up but a single hit as his St.

i STANDINGS Improved Pitching Key; 9-5 Mark for East Trip By BOB BEEBE The Millers are coming home for a two week, stand in position to do some important climbing in the American Association pennant race if they do not slip back into the stumbling pace of previous Nicollet sojourns. Both general manager Rosy Ryan and manager Tom Heath were optimistic as the club wound up its eastern swing by splitting a double header with Toledo Friday night. They have reason for optimism. The Millers won nine of the 14 games on the journey bringing their season's record in the east to 19 and 10. They are only a game and a half out of third place and six out of first as they open a four game series with St.

Paul at Nicollet park Sunday preliminary to entertaining the eastern clubs for the third time. "A good home stand would put us right up in the race," Ryan commented today. "So far we haven't broken even at home and that doesn't make sense with the power we have. It's up to the pitching and I figure it should be better than it has been at Nicollet. Heath says Ken Robertson looked very good at Toledo.

He'll help along with Bailey." The staff is in reasonably good order for the St. Paul series with Bill Ayers ready to go Sunday. FIVE IN NINTH GIVE MILLERS EVEN BREAK Special to the Minneapolis Star TOLEDO, OHIO The Minne apolis Millers rallied for five runs in the ninth inning of the second game of a double header here Fri day night to beat Toledo 12-10 and gain an even break in the twin bill. Toledo won the opener 6-3 to end a five game Miller winning streak and salvage its only victory of the five game series. The Heathmen gained the split despite the Herculean efforts of Austin Knickerbocker, who drove in four runs two two homers in the nightcap after slugging in three with a homer and a double in the first tilt.

Each side used five pitchers in the wild afterpiece. Whitey Konikowski, Dave Barn-hill, Ike Pearson, Hal Toenes and Ken Robertson worked for the Millers with Pearson the winner. Bill Connelly, Walter Nothe, Tony Foti. BUI Scott and Bill Butland toilea for Toledo. Foti was" the loser.

Miller hurlers walked nine and gave 16 hits; Hens pitchers walked 11 and were bumped for 16 blows. The big blowoff came with Toledo leading 10-7. A walk to Gail Henley and singles by Bill Jen nings, Bob Hofman and Ray Dan-dridge finished Foti and a a Rowell's fourth hit a double, and Jack Harshman's single off Scott completed the damage before Butland could get the side out. In the Hen half, Robertson, rescuing Toenes, retired the slugging Don Lund and Knickerbocker with the tying run on second. The Millers piled up a 6-1 lead in four innings against Connelly and Nothe but the Hens tied it with five in the fourth and got three more in the fifth off Koni kowski and Dave Barnhill.

Another was added off Pearson in the seventh while Bob Brady's 10th home run was the only run off Foti until the ninth. Minneapolis touched Hal White for 10 hits in the first game but left nine stranded. Andy Gilbert, who got five hits during the evening, doubled home two tallies the first and Jack Harshman hit his 28th home run in the fifth. Vern Kennedy was touched for eight hits and five runs in the first three innings. Pearson yielded the remaining marker in the sixth.

She never had a golf lesson In her life. Little Rosalyn Wisen defeated ROSALYN WTSEN New state champ Cards' Cat Flops Again in Night Loss to Reds By JACK HAND NEW YORK UP) What has happened to Harry Brecheen's after dark magic? The wiry little St. Louis Cardinal southpaw was poison at night last season. Under the lights he had a 14-3 mark en route to his fine 20-7 season. After winning three night starts early this season, he lost his touch.

The Cat has failed to finish his last four owl starts. His latest disappointment really hurt. With a chance to tie the Brook lyn Dodgers for the National league lead by whipping Cincin nati Friday night, the Red Birds flopped, 10-2. Brecheen started but faded for pinch hitter in the fourth. St.

Louis trailed 3-0 and the lowly Reds had four hits off the Cat who walked five. Normally he passes only one or two in a nine-inning job. The pasting by Cincinnati, which has been staggering toward the cellar, was the third Card loss in their last five games against second division opposition. For two days in a row they have been unable to take advantage of a Dodger defeat. Ken Raf ens- berger, the cagey Cincy lefty, es caped with his eighth victory de spite 12 St.

Louis hits. Brooklyn stubbed its toe on New York's Dave Koslo in an afternoon setback 4-1 that gave St Louis a chance to close the gap. Don Newcombe was unable to hold an early 1-0 lead and finally was knocked out for the first time in a month while the Giants were en route to a three-run rally In the eighth. Vern Bickford gave the Boston Braves control of third place as he hit the 10-win mark with a 12-Inning decision over the Phillies 2-1. The young righthander sin gled to start the 12th, rode to third on Eddie Stanky's single and scor ed on Al Dark's game-winning single.

Bob Muncrief, recently sold by Pittsburgh to Chicago for the waiver price, pitched the Cubs to a 6-5 edge over the Pirates in a relief role. Muncrief came on after Dutch Leonard was knocked out in the fourth. Charley Keller, another one of Casey Stengel's rripples, took his turn at giving the New lork Yankees a lift. He hit a pinch triple with two men on to climax a four-run rally in the ninth inning. The Yanks came back to nip Washington, 5-4, with Joe DiMaggio confining his activities to one single and a walk In four trips.

Eddie Joost, the Philadelphia A's sparkplug, had a great night, driving in five runs three hits, including his 17th homer, in a 11-5 romp over Boston. The victory left the A's five and a half games back of the leading Yanks. Cleveland took over third place by dumping the St. Louis Browns 3-1 on AI Benton's six-hitter while Detroit was being blanked by Chicago's Bill Wight, 4-0. WAITKUS HAS BULLET YET CHICAGO INS Eddie Waitkus still bearing the bullet fired into him by a love-crazed girl rested In Chicago's Billings hospital today following what surgeons called a "final" operation.

The Phillies' first baseman was in "fine" condition and recovering rapidly from the two-hour surgery designed to expand his left lung partially collapsed by accumulated blood and tissue fluid. jBrech That's what carried her to the title Friday. In fact, that's what won every one of her matches over, the tricky Bemidji Town and Country links all week. Because she is small, Rosalyn doesn't hit the ball as far as most of the other tp golfers-Mrs. Berg, Bernadine Rosenthal, Marcia Smith, Mrs.

Phil Kerr, Mary Ann'Mairs and Audrey Neffeler. But when Rosalyn got around the greens, she made up for it. In Friday's finals, for instance, she had EIGHT ONE PUTT GREENS IS TIIE AFTERNOON'S 13 holes. That's how close to the pin she was laying those irons. A Comptometer operator, and a typist-shorthand artist when she is working, Rosalyn was laid off from her job just as the golf season started.

She hasn't been doing much since, except play golf. But that's just how she likes it as long as she can afford it. Now she has set her sights on the MWGA's annual 54 hole medal title, to be played at Oak Ridge Aug. 9-11. Thus she'll be trying for a sweep of the two big MWGA championships which ANGLERS GET A FREE RIDE CAMPBELLFORD, ONT.

George A. Barton, commission chairman, said Flanagan was suspended because of his disregard for warnings from referee Billy McCabe during the fight; hitting repeatedly on the breaks; threatening McCabe after the fight; coming in overweight (129 pounds against and agreed 128), and fail ing to post a $100 forfeit "with the commission.

The fight was staged as a benefit for the families of three St. Paul firemen, killed during a recent fire. Barton said McCabe was absolved of blame as he acted in consideration of the fans who attended the benefit show. The referee was advised by the commission, however, to stop any future fight in which such illegal tactics were evident. The suspension of Flanagan came at a time when he had no fights booked.
