27 Now that the war has been won. It is fitting that soccer restore International competition. It is the one truly major international sport, the national game of many countries. When it was obvious that the war in Europe; was drawing to a close, American, English and Scottish clubs began negotiations preliminary to arranging international tours. The American Soccer league, the lone professional circuit in the United States, formed a group which has raised the money for such tours.

Because it is played throughout the world, soccer was the only Sport able to present international matches during the war. R. A. P. sides composed of British booters in training in Canada made two trips to New York for games during the past year.

Wherever a British ship landed, it didn't take long long for a soccer game to get started. The many R. A. P. bases in this country added to the number of games.

Free French, Free Norwegian and other teams furnished competition for clubs in the vicinity of their training camps. Tours will get under way as quickly as travel conditions permit. American teams also are planning to do some traveling, having received invitations from Europeans and South American clubs. South American countries take their soccer seriously. Two booters were suspended for 10 years in Bogota, Colombia, for attacking two referees.

It wasn't so long ago that the Argentine association was offering American and British referees $750 a month plus transportation. To date there has been no report of any takers. Officials no doubt heard of the fatal riots and assaults upon whistle-tooters by ardent Argentinians. For the first time in a long while, the American league will have a president not affiliated with any teams when the season opens September 30. Jim Kelly of West Orange, N.

was named league head to succeed Emil O. SchlUlnger, boss of the Philadelphia Americans.

Oakmont Course Site of Golf Test Four Top Pros Are Seeking New Record OAKMONT, Aug. 28 (UP) A question that has been bothering old-time golfing skeptics may be answered Tuesday when four top professionals tackle the formidable fairways of oakmont in a sio.uuu "blue ribbon" tournament.

With darkness falling. Van's tied the count in the first of the fifth when Gene Ebrlght singled, stole second and scored on Ralph Nicol's safety.

Reed then slammed his homer under the cars in right field to knot the. count. After Lyle Belknap doubled, Ricketts came in and stemmed the tide. Buster Sutton opened the last of the fifth with a single to Reed at third, took second on Ron's wild throw and stole third when Brokaw took his wind-up. Jack Breslin popped to second and Charley Me redith repeated to short.

Here Howdy Belknap replaced Brokaw and forced Lyle Sherman to pop to Coryell at first. Nicol led both teams at bat with three for three.

All but four of tne 75 participated in the summer practice wnicn end ed two weeks ago, the outstanding newcomer being Jack Welsenbur ger, rangy Muskegon sopnomore backfield candidate. Weisenburger passed up the sum mer session because oi a neavy scholastic schedule but was one of the first to pick up a uniform at Monday's opening session.

A canable runner and excellent punter, Weisenburger will probably handle most of the kicking chores for the Wolverines if he rounds into shape fast enough to take over the wingback -position. He is expected to fill the spot left by the departure of Don Lund and Bob Wiese. Crisler expressed satisfaction with the general condition of the squad but promised scrimmage "about every day in the future for some time." The Wolverine mentor disclosed that he will forego attendance at the annual college All-Star game in Chicago Thursday night, choosing to devote the time to the Wolverine squad. Crisler also said home games will start at 2 p. m.

Argentina's Alejo Russell, runner-up to Talbert In the 'recent Southampton tournament, may be a contender although he Is seeded only third behind Andres Hammersley of Chile and Heraldo Weiss of Argentina on the foreign list.
