Officials Turn Tide in Big Games: Golf Gags Are Ezar’s Livelihood
?_E
Dartmouth Thrice Victim
of Interference Rule
Near Own Goal.
q» the Associated Press.
FOOT BALLS men In white—
lhe officials—played a great
part In making the 1936 sea
son the hec tic one It was. This
us not in criticism of the whistle
blowers—they call ’em as they see
'em. and being human like the rest
if us they make an occasional mis
ake. But decisions rendered at vital
• cages of important contests did have
mportant bearings on the results in
nany cases and earned headlines for
he officials.
Foot ball must be played according
to the rules or not at all. The safety
of the players demands that. Even
when an official's ruling practically
aands victory to one team, as it did
late in the Army-Navy game, his
honesty must be applauded.
The frequent enforcement of the
rule on Interference with a pass re
ceiver excited a lot of discussion,
and in some quarters there was heard a
demand for a change in the rule. In
three major contests Dartmouth was
the victim of such decisions by officials
in the shadow of its goal posts. It is
hardly likely that the officials were
wrong in calling Interference in each
case. More likeiv the trouble was
with the defending backs and their
manner of protecting their territory.
Dartmouth came dangerously close to
losing both the Yale and Princeton
games for the sam* reason.
Call One on Gophers.
VyHEN the officials ruled that an
” Army player had interfered
with a Navy receiver toward the end
of the game in Philadelphia and gave
the Midshipmen possession of the ball
on Army's 3-yard line he set up the
winning score for Navy. He saw in
terference and he called it. Arid mere
was no complaint registered by Army
coaches, disappointed as they must
have been.
John Getchell's ruling in the Min
nesota-Northwestern game gave the
Wildcats possession of the ball on
Minnesota's 1-yard line. In three
plays Northwestern carried the ball
over for a touchdown anc the only
score of the game. It was in the
fourth period and Minnesota did not
have time to come back. Tnat ruling
probably was what cost the Gophers
an unbeaten record. Yet no one con
demned Getchell for making the
decision.
According to the official, big Ed
Widseth. star tackle and co-captain
of the Gophers, hit Don Geyer twice
in the face after the whistle had
blown. The offense called for a 15
yard penalty, but since the Wildcats
were In possession of the ball only
13 yards from the goal line, the actual
penalty was 12 yards and left North
western with four chances to put over
the oval from the 1-yard stripe.
That Kelley Case.
'T'HE officials found themselves in a
delicate position during the Navy
Yale battle. Schmidt of Navy fumbled
a punt on his own 25-yard line and
Larry Kelly. Yale captain and end.
kicked the ball soccer fashion in the
direction of the Navy goal. The
officials could not look into Kelley's
mind to see whether he had inten
tionally kicked the ball or not. To
them it appeared that the ball had
bounded into the middle of his stride,
so they ruled the kick unintentional
and gave the ball to Yale on Navy’s
3-yard line where Kelley had recov
ered it. Had it been any one but the
effervescent Kelley no one would have
paid much attention to the ruling.
Harry Wheeler, one of Manhattan's
co-captains, pulled one for the book
In the game with Holy Cross this
Pall. Past encounters between Man
hattan College and Holy Cross had
been bitterly fought. The 1935 con
test wound up in a fist fight. So the
officials of both colleges impressed on
the athletes the importance of waging
a clean, fair battle. Wheeler leaned
over backward in carrying out the
Instructions. Early in the game, when
Holy Cross was threatening to score,
he refused to accept a penalty of 15
yards when an official ruled Holy
Cross guilty of holding. In a few
plays Holy Cross put over the touch
dowm. That gesture loomed bigger
and bigger as the game wore on. for
the final score was: Holy Cross 13,
Manhattan 7.
Game Is Without Penalties.
*T*HE officials had a very easy time
1 when Pennsylvania and Cornell
battled on Franklin field in their
annual Thanksgiving day contest. It
was a hard-fought game with the
inexperienced Cornell team finally
going down to defeat before the power
of the veteran Penn eleven. The
amazing part of the contest was that
there was not a single penalty called
by the officials during the game. After
the hectic Saturday afternoons the
officials had spent this Fall this one
must have been a great relief.

By rnttfiGLim . ^
HE CONQUERED a golf fault
that had endured for 10
years, and then quit the
game—cold.
H. K. (Hap) Burtner had been a
darned good bowler for many years
around Washington and was a happy
man until he took up golf. • As a
novice He developed a gigantic slice.
It was one of those round-house curv
ing slices that he started away off to
the left of the fairway and brought
around in the middle. Nothing was
more dependable about Hap's game
than his slice. His iron play would go
sour, his putting would falter, but the
steady old slice remained, and nothing
Hap could do about it would stop it.
And no man worked harder to cure it.
One day Hap was playing with
George Diffenbaugh at Indian Spring.
They came to the thirteenth hole, a
par 4 affair with an out-of-bounds
fence at the left, all the way along
the fairway.
By some new-found kink in
his swing Hap slugged a rolling
hook over the fence. He teed
up another ball, and hooked
that one over the fence.
‘ Come here, boy,” he yelled to his
caddie. "You and I are going to take
a walk.” Hap and the caddie stalked
into the club house, and from that
day to this Hap Burtner never has
touched a club.
“Why should I.” he asks. “I licked
the slice, didn’t I?”
That was five years ago, and Hap
hasn’t hit a golf ball since.
The national championship of club
champions will be played again during
February at St. Augustine, and one
or two of the local club champs may
get down to that Florida city to play
in it. Dates are February 15 to 20,
and Claude Harmon of Orlando, Fla.,
is the defending title holder.
Moorman Improves.
r\AN MOORMAN of Congressional
always has been a tough man to
lick in his own class: that class being
around 85 or 86. But lately Dan.
whose rounds of golf aren't so fre
quent, has been whacking his boy
friends every time he stepped out. A
couple of weeks ago he scored a 77
for his all-time best, and the other
day he bagged a 78.
“If he keeps on he’ll have to be
giving all of us handicaps,” says Brice
Conlyn, one of Dan’s links companions.
Troy Carmichael, one of the better
Congressional club swingers, claims
Claggett Stevens' golf game is slipping.
Claggett is the lad who is holding
down the fort in the golf shop dur
ing Roland MacKenzie’s sojourn in
Florida.
“Yep, Claggett’s slipping all
right,” says Trey. “Slipping op
to 75.
“The heat of the Washington Win
ters must be getting him after a Sum
mer in Florida. He slips up to 75,
which in case you don’t know it, is
pretty good on this golf course as it
is now. That boy really can putt.”
Really Could Drive.
"T ONG HITTERS?” says Bob Bar
■L' nett. “Why, this fellow Jimmy
Thomson and all the rest of the slug
gers were mere boys compared to a
lad we had around Chevy Chase about
15 years ago. I’ve seen that boy drive
the first green, and 350-yard tee shots
were not unusual for him before we
had watered fairways.
“That boy Dixie Davis certainly
could slug the ball. Why, I remember
one day Leo Diegel, who wasn’t short,
was out in front of the golf shop driv
ing balls down toward the ninth tee
with a driver.
"Dixie came along with a mid
iron and knocked ’em past Leo’s
driver shots. Leo quit in disgust.
"That boy took a spoon ofl the fif
teenth tee to keep from driving in the
ditch intended to catch the second
shot. One day I saw him drive within
a couple of yards of the sixteenth
green, over about the twenty-fifth tee.
If he had cared very much about
tournament golf he might have won
a lot of championships, but he didn’t
like tournaments.”
The boy was Henry Gassaway Davis,
3d, whose name recently has been in
the headlines.
THREE HAVE IT OUT
FOR CAROM CROWN
Cochran, Sensation Beating
Matsuyama, Creates Tie
in World Tourney.
BT the Associated Press.
CHICAGO December 12.—A San
Francisco Irishman with a
great competitive heart car
ried his cue wizardry today
into the playoff he forced for the world
three-cushion billiards championship.
In the most spectacular performance
in a decade of title play, Welker Coch
ran of California defeated Kinrey
Matsuyama of Japan and Johnny Lay
ton of Sedalia, Mo., yesterday, to create
a deadlock among himself, Tiff Denton
of Kansas City and the little Japanese
ace. Each has won six games and lost
three.
Matsuyama opposes Denton this
afternoon. In the first evening match
Cochran plays Denton and in the sec
ond Matsuyama meets Cochran.
Easily Beats Matsuyama.
/"''OCHRAN was favored because of
his spectacular victories yesterday.
Against Layton he won 50 to 32 in 40
innings, going out with a run of six.
Facing Matsuyama with the knowledge
that a victory for the Japanese expert
would send the title out of the country
for the first time since 1878, Cochran
flashed even more brilliant form.
Matsuyama, gunning for his first
world title, ran two in the first inning.
Cochran stepped to the table and
clicked off 11 billiards, many of them
difficult angle shots. He never was in
danger from that point and finished
with 10 points in the final five frames
to win 50 to 26 in 32 innings.
One Short of Tourney Record.
^jOCHRAN, in the two matches,
made 100 points in 72 Innings.
His high run against Layton, holder
of the title seven times, was seven. His
run of 11 against Matsuyama was one
under the Japanese's tourney record
and was the best first-inning cluster
of the hard-fought event.

HOCKEY SURPRISES
MEET KEEN RIVALS
Canadiens Play Maroons, Amerks
Face Bruins in Big League
Engagements.
Br the Associated Press
T^EW YORK. December 12 —With
the double purpose of breaking
thetr tie for the International Division
lead and staving off the challenge of
the Montreal Maroons, the National
Hockey League's ‘‘surprise teams," the
Montreal Canadiens and New York
Americans, take on two of their keen
est rivals this week end.
The Canadiens engage the Maroons
tonight in their third intra-city strug
gle of the season; tomorrow the
Amerks take on the Boston Bruins.
The other two week end struggles con
cern the American section race, almost
as close. The New York Rangers, who
dropped to second place a point behind
Detroit's champion Red Wings on
Thursday, meet the Maple Leafs at
Toronto tonight. Detroit visits Chicago
tomorrow to tackle a ‘‘natural" rival,
the Blackhawks.
So far the flying Frenchmen hold
the edge in Montreal's city strife with
a 2-1 victory and a 2-2 tie, but the
Maroons have been moving up steadily
and now are only 2 points behind the
pace setters. Even in their poorest sea
sons, the Americans had the habit of
staging lively brawls with Boston and
frequently winning them. They’ll be
strengthened tomorrow for the first
clash of the year with the Bruins by
the addition of Jeff Kalbfleisch, young
defense man, and Lloyd (Deed) Klein,
big veteran winger, recalled from New
Haven.
Toronto, near enough to the Maroons
to be in striking distance, has a score
to wipe out against the Rangers, a 5-1
defeat inflicted in New York, while
Detroit's Red Wings want to take the
sting out of a 2-0 setback—Chicago’s
only victory of the season—accom
plished while the Detroit Injury list
was at its longest.

Game’s “Clown Prince”
Drives Well, Putts Feebly.
Big Favorite at Meets.
BY W. B. MeCALLUM.
THERE'S a guy traveling the golf
trail* who probably never will
win important money in any
tournament, but who get* a
heap of fun out of clowning and who
picks up a fair living out of his gags
and the shows he puts on.
Joe Ezar is the guy, and in case
you haven't seen Joe you should do so.
He isn't such a bad golfer, either,
but he’s hardly in the class of the big
names of the game. They call him
the "clown prince,” a name which we
suspect Joe pinned on himself as a
bit of ballyhoo. Joe is employed by
one of the club manufacturing com
panies, but not a* a tournament-win
ning golfer.
Joe boes "international.
XT'S AS a trick-shot artist, a rapid
fire patter merchant and an en
tertainer that Joe gets across. Born
of Syrian parents in Texas. Joe first
hit the tournaments about five years
ago. His very garb was worth a laugh,
for Joe sported a beret—usually red—
and wore the baggiest plus-4 panties
you ever saw. But they didn't laugh
when Joe hit a tee shot. He could do
that. They laughed when he putted.
Joe not only is a national favorite.
He's gone international, and he's
practically a commuter between New
York and Britain during the golf
season. Bob Harlow says whenever
the pros on the other side hear that
Joe has left New York for England,
they line up at the dock to wait for
him, for Joe is always issuing chal
lenges for a golf match and seldom
winning.
How he gets around is a mystery.
Bob says, for he seems always to be
broke, and yet he turns up in expen
sive suites on the Queen Mary, does
the night clubs in style and lives the ,
life of Reilly.
Seems to Make Clowning Pay.
XT ISN’T from the • take” from his
trick shots, for Joe gets little out
of that. And it isn't from his win
nings as a tournament golfer, for Joe
gets little of the heavy dough. But
he gets around just the same. Joe is
a familiar figure at every major golf
tournament.
If you could see Joe turn a driver
around and hit the ball 220 yards
with the toe pointing to the ground,
you'd marvel at why he doesn't win
tournaments. He can literally make
a golf ball talk and he's Joe Kirk
wood's only real rival in the trick shot
business.
Joe Ezar 1s a clown, all right, but
he must be making it pay. He refuse#
to take himself seriously iso no one
else does) and the boys all look for
Joe when they want to play a little
joke. He's the Nick Altrock of golf,
and a riot when he swings into action. ,
And his jokes don't sting.
