th the glf season hreo
worn-out debate of whether or
not it would be advisable to drop
putting from the game of golf-.
There are those golfers, pro-
fessional and amateur alike, who
have their doubts that this most
troublesome part of the game
should play such an important
role in the scoring.
Putting Difficult
No doubt most of the objec-
tions to and the complaints about
putting arise from the great dif-
ficulties it presents to the golf-
er. In any tournament, whether
it be the National Open or a
country club championship, there
are always those who feel that
they could have had a better
round if It hadn't been for the
trouble they had on and around
the greens. There is no question
that such complaints are caused
by the failure of these players to
develop a "touch" on the greens.
The criticisms of putting on the
part of this group should be
lightly regarded as they might
also desire an eight-foot high
basket in basketball because they
are unable to get the ball ten
feet in the air.
However there is a definite aca-
demic question here. Golfers who
argue in favor of eliminating put-
ting have a legitimate basis for
taking such a stand. They contend
that the challenges of golf to the
participant are: 1) to develop a
coordinated swing, 2) use that
swing to hit the ball to a desired
place, 3) to master the varied
shots which golfers must be able
to execute, and 4) to develop con-
requisite for a goods goler.rme
Because putting requires a swing
which is entirely different than
that of any other part of the game
the anti-putting clique feels that
it is not a true part of the sport.
To those who claim that golf is
supposed to offer a variety of
swings and shots, this group ans-
wers that putting is neither, rath-
er it is merely a stroke.
Another Point made against
putting is that it is too easy for
anyone, regardless of skill or nat-
ural ability to become a good put-
ter. The example cited to sprove
this point is the case of an Aus-
tralian grandmother who would
take on all corners at putting. Al-
though she knew nothing whatso-
ever about the game she had con-
stantly practiced on a putting
green until she became unbeat-
able.
Different Style Involved
Tied in with this point is the
feeling of this group that learn-
ing how to putt does not entail
the great difficulty which comes
with learning the rest of the
game. In putting there is no awing
to be developed and coordinated,
nor does the player have any haz-
ards, natural or otherwise, to
overcome.
It does not seem likely, at this
time, that either the U.S.G.A.
or P.G.A. is seriously consider-
ing- dropping this part of the
game for which Sam Snead has
such a great affinity. It would be
logical, therefore, for the duffer
to take his putter in hand and re-
sign himself to the fact that he
will have to learn how to putt.

Two Intramural softball first
place championships were decided
yesterday afternoon at South Fer-
ry Field when Newman Club edged
Les Canadians, 2-1, and Psychol-
ogy "B" drubbed the Chemistry
Department, 14-3. .
Newman's victory, which gave
them the independent softball title
was the result of a thrilling pitch-
ers' duel between Newman's Har-
vey Dean and Jay Gould of Les
Canadians. All three runs were
unearned as Dean scattered four
hits over the seven inning route
and Gould allowed only two safe-
ties in a losing cause.
Nwman Scores in First
The first Newman Club run
came in the top of the first in-
ning. Walks to the first three bat-
ters and a dropped ball on an at-
tempted force play at home plate
allowed the run to score before a
man was retired.
The deciding marker was tallied
by Newman Club in the fourth in-
ning. Pitcher Dean singled and
proceeded to steal his second and
third bases of the game. Fast-
balling Gould then came through
with three more of his total of
twelve strikeouts, but one of
them, Reilly's, was wasted when
catcher Neil Buchanan dropped
the ball and failed to complete the
putout at first base. Dean scored
easily on the play, and protected
his lead throughout the rest of the
game.
Psych Takes Early Lead
The Psychology' "B" team game,
wich gave itthe faculy rown
sandwiched a three-run second in-
ning between two one-run frames
to lead, 5-0, before the Chemistry
Department scored its first two
runs in the bottom of the third.

starting today.
Indiana's well balanced squad,
unbeatein in two seasons of con-
ference dual meets, is heavily fav-
ored to win its third straight team
title in the three-day meet. Mich-
igan and Michigan State also rank
high while outside changes for
a first-division finish go to Illi-
nois, Northwestern and Wisconsin.
Mann To Lead 'M'
At last reports Michigan coach
Bill Murphy plans to send Al
Mann in at number one singles,
Pete Paulus at number two, and
the "Bob" quartet of Paley, Ned-
erlander, Mitchell and Sassone at
numbers three, four, five and six
singles respectively.
The number one Wolverine
doubles team of Paulus and Paley
will seek to upset Northwestern's
top seeded duo of Kuhn and Paul
Bennett. Mann and Nederlander
are the Michigan number two
doubles combo, while Mitchell and
Sassone carry Wolverine hopes
with them in the number three
tandem.
Wolverine singles players Mit-
chell, Sassone, Paulus, and Neder-
lander all have excellent chances
of copping championships in their
echelons.
