There is little question that they will succeed to some extent. The average amateur player of any caliber will usually tote more than clubs while top-notch simon pures and pros probably Will average arcund 18 sticks. Of course the player who meanders around his own 1 layout each weekend for his own pleasure can stick his fingers to his nose at the USGA and carry 30 if he desires, but not so the tourney Various officials have voiced the opinion that the limit on elubs may bring back the days of the three-quarter and half shots when a player Book Worm Blooming-ton, IndL T)-For an athlete, Vernon Huffman, Indiana all-around star, has set some sort of a record for carrying textbooks. They go wherever he goes. Huffman has one ambition to practice and has turned down pro football offers.

A triple-threat quarter, back, an all-Big Ten basket- ball guard, and a slugging outfielder, Huffman says: "My ath-. letic career will end when I run out my string at college."

However, In bur opinion the day3 of these shots are obsolete and they were only required in the first place because the players' working tools hadn't been perfected. There is little question that some of the players have carried matters a bit too far what with carrying five niblicks, etc, but as far, as relieving the caddy, that is a lot of bunk. The average caddy rushes First of the series of barn-storming tennis matches between Ellsworth Vines, left, king of, the ten-nis professionals, and the latest recruit to the plar-and-pay ranks, Fred Perry, right, will be staged tonight in Madison Square Garden.

Much attention is being focused on tonight's tilt with the winner likely to be recognized as the best tennis player in the world with Perry having swept all amateur opposition prior to turning pro, for the big sack, knowing full well that he will probably land a good player and will be paid accordingly. There has been little -organized squawk as yet but look for. plenty of noise and the possible ousting of this rule before a new year rolls around. The manufacturers are already voicing their dissatisfaction in no uncertain terms with a big selling field for special clubs wiped out.

10 to Apr. 26 and locals are beginning to talk over their own plans for competing in this greatest of all pin events. The chance to compete In the ABC competition so near to home Is one which probably will not be available again for some years. No doubt when the time comes around for those Interested parties to put up their entry dough, excitement will lag somewhat but there is little question that Plainfield will have some representation in this event. They tell us that the Jersey Tire team is planning on competing.

Local "booster" teams in the 50 class appear to have the best chance.

W. Keith Phillips, chairman of the Orange Bowl committee in Miami, said: "The growing popularity of va rious bowl games shows what the people think of them, and, after all, the people should decide. The NCAA's action will have no effect whatsoever on next year's games." Warren V.

It was seiaom ine wtruuuus were able to get the ball in scoring territory; They were continually on the defense the early minutes. Newman and Bicknell started in the scoring zone for the YWCA and combined to score on inety executed plays.

Newman was especially capable in her scoring role. Later in the game Dick took the place of Bick nell and carried on to tally six points. Bioknell, however, was high scorer for her team with a nine-point total. The Cardinals hit their stride later and opened up. Taylor scored high for the game with 10 points.

Passing, Foul Shooting Poor Tf woo nrAYtoKlw 4kn A 1 i Cards' passing and foul shooting that the. team lost the On the other, hand, the fact that Coach Brann's hoys have not been in suits together for about two weeks except for two short practices held during the Christmas vacation must be taken into consideration. However the fact still.

stands that The Plainfield five is not playing the ball it is capable of. Cardinals missed eight of 11 foul shots in yesterday's game. Plainfield ctarted the eame as if it intended to win, because the old sparkle was there after Dave Mor-' rison scored the first goal of the game, but when Benny Hargrave, westiield ace, followed Morrison's shot up with a Blue and White tally, the strength of the PHS combine became shaky and remained that way until there was no hope for. the home team to win. The amaziner accuracv of Harpmvf's- passing to Eric Anderson probably is the reason why Anderson was Westfield's high scorer with 10 points to his credit! In the first quarter, the playing was wild on the part of both sides.

and it was visible from the verv start that Plainfield's technique was on the bank. The Westfield defensive play was very tight, and it neia troach tsrann boys to two points during that canto. These same features dominated the play-ing of the entire. first half. The Cardinal five was so poor on its foul shots, that it was not until the third period that Len Strom broke from "the free throw line.

Scoring Sport Fades The home rooters were some what encouraged by a sudden scoring1 spurt on the part of Dave Mor rison and Johnny Danyo, but again Benny Hargrave stepped in and discouraged the Cardinal players as he sank a beautiful shot from mid- court which settled Plainfield's fate for the remainder of the contest as far as scoring went. It was an upset PUS five that faced Coach Freeman's warriors for the fourth canto. There was no fighting spirit left in, and Coach Brann's lads were so desperately in need of points, that they overdid themselves in all phases of playing, and so lost their remaining accuracy. Johnny Danyo committed his fourth personal foul of the game during the final quarter, and was expelled from the game. This contest marked the first court appearance of Len Strom, Ray Tice and Dave Morrison for this season.

It seems, however, that poor luck is dogging the PHS quintet, for no sooner do the three players confined' to the sick list all season return, than Coach Brann is kept from the sidelines by an attack of the grippe which he got during Christmas vacation in Buffalo. New Card Uniforms Yesterday's game also marked the initial appearance of the new Plainfield High School basketball uniforms, which are very bright and drew noticeable comment from the stands as the Cards took the floor. Phil Marvel of Columbia refereed yesterday's tilt, and he did a good piece of work, considering the dif ficult situations which arose at different times. John Siergiej replaced Coach Brann on the bench yesterday. He also has had charge of-the Plainfield practices during tne last week while Coach Brann was in Buffalo.

Red Wings Face Job to Stop Reds' Streak If the Dunellen Reds are to be stopped in their headlong dash to the Plainfield Basketball League crown, it will have to be soon.

The job Is put up to the Red Wings tonight as the league gets back into action at Jefferson School following the, holiday pause. The Reds have won six straight league games. The Dunellen club has a potent outfit which draws its players from all over the map including, New Brunswick, Manville, Bound Brook, Plainfield and Dunellen. Four of its members play with Manville Sacred Hearts, leaders of the Central Jersey League. In their league start the Reds faced the reputedly strong Dunellen Knights, considered the team with the best chance of stopping the high flying leaders.

In this game, the Reds had their weakest lineup, their ace players failing to appear, and still they won. This is an ill omen to the rest of the league hopefuls. Milan Pasko is the Reds leader and has under him his brother Joe who has proved an adept ball play; er, Kachorjky and Baronowsky, of the Manville Sacred Hearts; Regan, red headed and brainy forward. Fuss Taylor, Carmen, Grossman and others. Other games are between the Dun ellen Knights and the Plainfield Leafs, who meet in the evening's opener, and the Bak elites and Kings' ton-Conley five.

There is a three- way tie among the Knights, Wings and Bakelites which will probably be broken in tonight's engagements. Other than the first and last place teams the league is well balanced. The three second place teams have broken even in six games for a .500 average. Flying Arrows Forced To Postpone Opener The Flying Arrows' opening basketball game of the season which was scheduled for tomorrow evening with the North Plainfield High School varsity was postponed a week due the dedication exercises of the two new borough schools which" will be held in the Somerset School gym tomorrow night. The former champions have been filling up their schedule with strong teams of this section and will present a weekly bill for the remainder of the season.

All members of the three-time city court champs will again be in the fold and the Arrows are expected tu have a fast team that will compete with local quints for supremacy. COACHES GATHER A second meeting of scholastic coaches interested in the formation of a Union County basketball tournament will be held at the home of Ted Cooper, Linden High coach, tonight.

League Resumes Play Tomorrow Night By 'OLD TIMER' Thursday night marks the re sumption of play, and the commencement of the second half of the schedule of the Borough and tournament being staged at Firemen's Hall. A glance at the pcnochle league standing shows Frank Hulik and his Somerset Jr.OUAM team with a substantial lead. In the quoit division, the "Post" AC is holding down fitst place on the basis of games won. However, on a percentage stand, the Sons of St. George would be in the van, but as a game in the bag is worth two in the bush, first honors must go (at least temporarily) to the' pressmen.

For the first time we are focussing the public attention on the boys who take a pride in their exterior decorating of the quoit peg, and for which a prize is awarded at the close of the season. First on the list is Steve Perrine, the Post AC player. Mr. Perrine has had the distinction of "copping" thw ringer prize on three different occasions. Andy DeCamp of the Peerless team is.

a close second; while last season's champion marksman, Bert Reeves, is tied with Bill Leland for third place. The "dark horse" for the prize is the Fire Department's pride, Ray Stocker."

Bigger and Better Cotton Bowl officials already are planning a game at Dallas next year to "match anything in the country," according to J. Curtin Sanf ord, president of the Cotton Bowl Association. Dr. C.

M. Hendricks, who helped arrange Sun Bowl game at El Paso, pointed out that the weather there is ideal for football on Jan.l while September is -too; hot: Hence the season should start and end later. While Rose Bowl officials, said nothing. W. D.

(Don) Harrison, athletic director of Pittsburgh who saw his Panthers score a 21-0 deci sion over Washington in the Pasa dena carnival, was all in favor of continuing the post-season affair and Carl Kilgore, Washington's manager of athletics, said it was a matter to be decided by the Pacific Coast Conference, which is committed to the Rose Bowl. "The NCAA merely is authorized to give opinions," said Harrison. "Its rulings are not binding on any body, and as far as Pittsburgh is concerned, we always have been fav orable to the Rose Bowl game as a post-season attraction conducted on a high plane." Although the experts are almost unanimous in predicting Vines will win the opening encounter easily. Perry will get the larger share of the "gate." It is understood he is to get 37 12 per cent of the net receipts while Vines, whose income fell off last year because of lack of opposition, will take 12 12 per cent. The other players, Big Bill Tilden, making a one-night stand.

and Bruce Barnes and George Lett, members of the touring troup, will receive flat salaries. Vines Won Previously While they have clashed several times in Perry and Vines haven't met in competition since their 1932 Davis Cup encounter; when the American collapsed and had: to default. Before that Vines had won four decisions. As a curtain-raiser, Lott and Barnes will meet in a singles match-- doubles encounter with Perry and Lott playing.
