SPORTS
ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)
NEW YORK, — Smiley
Quick, the chunky guy from Cal
ifornia, didn’t defend his national
public links golf championship at
Minneapolis last week, and as a
matter of fact, there was a great
dearth of ex-champions . , . Smiley
didn’t send in his entry soon
enough and the only ex-champ in
the field is Robert Clark of St.
Paul, the 1940 winner. . . . Maybe
that’s because the public links
golfers get too good. . . . Joe Dey,
who picks this tourney as his fa
vorite “sporting events,” points
out that the qualifying record of
134 which Jimmy Clark set last
year is the low'est of any U. S. G.
A. championship. . . . Besides
Quick. Bud Ward, Harry Givan
and Scotty Campbell started golf
ing on public links courses and
went on to make the Walker Cup
team; and such public links nota
bles as Erl Furgol, Bruce McCor
mick, Pat Abbott, Les Bolstad,
Jimmy Clark, and the 1941 win
ner, William Welch, have become
pros.
Gayle Hayes, the Columbus,
Ga., sports editor, figures it would
be unfair to let some of the Sally
league pitchers advance to other
circuits without tipping off the
baseball writers to brush up on
their spelling—among them are
Tom Poholski of Columbus, Ed
Kowalski and Joe Och of Augus
ta, Joe Bielemeier <don’t forget
the E’s> of Greenville. Harry Per
kowski of Columbia and Joe Fop
piani of Charleston. . . . Let’s just
call them all "Bobo.”

Complications
PARIS, (iP)—The French cab
inet weighed yesterday a national
assembly resolution urging it to
press Britain for a speedy and hu-»
mane solution to the vexing prob
lem posed by 4,500 Jewish refu-'
gees who are staging a sitdown on
three British transports anchored,
off France’s Mediterranean coast
i
The resolution was adopted late
Wednesday by unanimous vote of,
the assembly, which also congrat
ulated the French government for
not attempting to impose a courr
of action upon the Jews.
Dispatches from Port-de-Bou,
on France’s southern coast* report
ed meanwhile signs of growing (
restlessness among the shipbound
Jews, who have refused to disem-.
bark in protest against being
| shipped back to France afte’- :
fruitless attempt to crash the
gates of Palestine.
The discomforts of life aboard
the crowded ships, which left Pal
estine almost three weeks ago.
were increased by extremely hot
weather and by a shortage of ra
| tions.
Some observers in Port-de-Bouc
frankly expressed belief that the
“Old Rugged Cross”
With Bow and Arrows
CINCINNATI. O. (A3)—Barriers
of distance, race language, and
background dissolved for two
Yank captains—one of them just
enrolled here at the University of
Cincinnati under the GI Bill of
Rights—and two natives of India
as they all joined in the singing
of a hymn while riding in an army
jeep in the Assam Valley, India.
The two American officers had
picked up the pair of loin-clothed
natie hitch-hikers, armed with
bows and arrows. The Yanks, un
able to converse with their passen
gers for want of a common lan
guage, broke into “The Old Rug
ged Cross.”
The passengers sang in their na
tive tongue. The homesick Yanks
had come upon two feljow Chris
tians.
Capt. John "R. Mockbee. Fal
mouth, Ky., now a freshman here,
was one of the officers.
British were playing a waiting
game, hoping that the broiling sun
might change the Jews’ minds
about going ashore.
Advices from London, indicated
that the British government wa;
at a loss as to how to deal with
the problem.
ROTARY DISTRICT GOVERNOR

THE GAME OF SHUFFLE

“shovel penny!’ according to the
Encyclopaedia Britannica.
