6. (Special) Sara Snead rode to golfing fame on a second-hand driver tbat made him one of the most prodigious sluggers In the game and he Is still using the -battle-scarred war club after Clemson fourth, and Duke fifth. Following are the final rankings of the season: FINAL HUH SLASON tOOTIIALI, KATIM.H. I.KAKKHs five years of tournament action. Snead was Just another ambitious professional when he high-Jacked that driver from Henry Picard, current P.

O. A. champion. He promptly began cannonading the ball 300 yards and better, and climbed Into the headlines. It's no woncter.

People who have seen me beat hat club on the ground after a bad hot thluk I was trying to break Snead says. "II I ever broke driver I would sit right down md cry Ilk a baby." snead had been playing tour-isment golf with Indifferent auc-ess for two years when he was ntroduced to the club. Had Hook Trouble "I had been using an old whippy-haft driver," Sam said, "and the lall did more tricks than a parlor nagiclan.

The shaft was so flexible slmost wrapped Itself around my aeck and I had stopped cocking my wrists at the top of my One January day In 1837, Just Wore the Los Angeles Open, Snead vatched Picard hit some prsctlce hots with the driver, made especl-illy for him two years before. "Henry saw that I admired the and asked me If I wanted to ry a few shots with It. Before 1 had hit five balls I straightened out my hook and added from 35 to 50 yards on my tve shots." Overjoyed, Snead went back to Picard. "I told him," Sam smiled, "that there wasn't a chance of his get-ting the driver back, but I wanted to pay him anything he asked for It." Picard. figuring the club had nvar- Dly served' out Its usefulness, sold It to 1 nead for 5.50, the original wholesale sprlce.

Uoes Klght Ip The rest Is golf history. Snead earned $400 by finishing fifth In the Los Angeles Open, and followed by winning the Oakland Open. He has been in the top ranks ever since. He believes the club Is a manufacturer's freak. It Is of normal weight, about 13 1-2 ounces, but appears peculiarly suited to Snead's compact, perfectly timed swing.

The shaft tested 25 pounds this last sumwer." Snead said, "which Is remnrkable for a five-year-old club. The manufacturer couldn't find another shaft that tested more than 24 1-2 pounds." There Is an odd little sequvl to this story. Snead hsd motored out to the coast that 1937 season with Johnny Bulla, the husky young Chicago professional. Snead sug-' gested they split their earnings on the tour. "Johnny, knowing my previous record," Snead reminisces, "refused point-blank.

With Plcard's old driver I won Just si.600 In the next two tournaments. Bulla didn't earn a nickel." 1 IVxai 913! i Notre Dame 94 4' 1 Tulanr 97 9' 10 tiral Trcr 94 tornrii bos ii TmnriBre 943 4 Clrmaon Co). 9 4 2 Prliicnon 94 2 5 Duke 0 13 Bo ton Col. 04 0 80. Calif 9ST14 L' L.

They won thai title in a stampede of football prowess that brought them Irom toehfod to wn l-o-V over Tula lie's Green Wave In the sixth annual Sugar Bowl classis at New Orleans. That score is deceiving.

When the teams were matched for the 1940 Hose and Sugar bowls It was evident that out of those games would come a champion, or two co-champions. A great crowd of 92,000 watched Southern California and Tennessee in the Rose Bowl, and 73.000 wild fans Jammed the enlarged Sugar Bowl to watch Texas Aggies and Tulane lock horns. The Williamson system picked of the 8 post-season bowl gamea for an average of 02b per cent.

It missed the Rose Bowl and Orange bowls, and, with everybody, the North-South game at Montgomery. It was correct on the Sugar, cotton.

Dean stressed he had no quarrel with Phil rig ley and the Cubs but "Just figured that a 60 per cent cut la a tittle too much." "Gee, that's no cut. It's a major operation," grinned Diz.

"There's no finer man In baseball than Mr. Wrlgley. I don't think he Intended to cut my salary $10000.

"I've talked a lot in my day, but quote me right on this, will you? My arm's bad and this Is my last chance In baseball. If I don't make It this time I'm through forever, I've got a farm near Dallas and that's where I'll go If I don't make It with Gabby and the boy this season. "Why If I didn't think there was a chance for me, I would have sent that contract back If It had carried a $10 000 raise Instead of a cut. Baseball has been good to me.

Dr. Godfrey said he and a member of the honor council discussed the case and both felt this penalty would be adequate.

"It was our understanding in all good faith that this procedure would constitute a solution of the problem that was customary, and I definitely had the Impression that similar cases had been solved in similar Dr. Godfrey said. My entire impression of the incident was that of a young man who In the midst of a psychological and emotional crisis had resorted to an act which I felt certain he would not have contemplated under more normal conditions. I have since found that my original Judgment baa been supported by reports from reliable sources that. In addition to the strain of football.

Mr. Lalanne has been under considerable nervous tension by a serious problem of private nature." It wan later that the tnudcnl council beard of the irregularity and voted lo suspend Lalanne. For memoersnip Additional Revenue It Main Reason For Wish To Increase List NEW YORK, Jan. 8. Harold W.
