PAGE SIX TUE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, MAY 27, !954 Sentiment Prevails To Drop Putting From Game of Gol f Newmn Wins I- J Softball Cr Own By NATE GREENE 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.

By DICK CRAMER 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.

Big Ten Net CHAMPAIGN, Ill.- (IP -Jack Vincent of Wisconsin, undefeated f or the season, and Northwest- ern's Al Kuhn are 'expected to battle it out for the No. 1 singles crown in the Big Ten tennis meet 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.
