WA'T:H "CAV ALCAD3 C Footba Pro, Ama By Ralph So far as an one knows, g< a pro can be reinstated from th ranks. The leniency of the United States Golfers' Association toward the amateurs, who are controlled by the association, has caused ex collegians to flood the pro ranks, according to Forest Lake Country Club Pro, Melvin Hemphill. The USGA rules that a boy working as a shop 4ttendant in a pro shop becomes a professional after the age of 18. He can clean golf balls and still be classified as a pro golfer. In the USGA sense, the boy is earning his livelihood in golf, working with a pro, so he is marked as a pro, forfeiting his amateur status. This would make him ineligible for college golf. The USGA has loosened its reins a bit. If such a boy enters an amateur tournament or en rolls in college to play golf, he can apply once to the USGA for reinstatement to the amateur ranks. Thus many a young golfer who grows up in the country club where he picked up the tricks of the trade and instructions under a polished pro can go off to college. However, the potential pro golfer can bypass caddying and can take a shortcut by way of college. Mr. Hemphill, who, when he is not giving golf lessons, as sists Coach Earl Dunham in shap ing the University of South Caro lina's golfers, had some answers to this trend. "Back in the days when the Hogans were struggling through the caddy ranks to stardom, golf teams were unheard of in college. Schools just did not promote golf. Today any young high school boy who is a good golfer can get a college scholarship." Golf is now becoming a major sport in many of the colleges and the boys are invading the campuses to estab lish themselves. This is particu larly true in Texas where golf prospects are almost as much in demand as football players. "After college days, the most promising ones among them sign contracts with a sporting goods 1ote asks: , bearing my field ting have signments iPont?

With this subsidy from a compan, they strike out for the big purses, having enough cash to hold them over until they place in the money. Some are backed by pros at the country club. It is mostly the money that lures the young ex-collegian into the pro ranks. If he's good enough to beat the pros at their game he can tuck away a tidy sum during the tour. Hemphill believes this rush of ex-collegians to the pro ranks is hurting amateur golf and the country's prestige. Many a young golfer after winning a few ama teur tournaments gets the idea he is ready for the big boys, so off he goes to meet disappointment. These good golfers, jumping too quick, leave behind a gap in the ranks of the amateurs, which don't produce enough topflight players to compete in the National Amateur and British Amateur tournaments. Also on the whole the amateur playing game is below par. The Hogans and Sneads have a place in the sun and will not he forgotten, but the system that produced them will. BIDDIES' AVERAGE Marshall Perkins of Inman led the Gamecock freshman basket ball team in scoring this season with 30.1 points and a 23.4 aver aige.

Hall's Blacks The University of South Caro lina football squad was divided into the "White" and "Black" teams yesterday in preparation for the annual intra-Squad game to be played in Carolina Stadium Tuesd4y night, March 15. The "White" squad, which con sists of the "first" and "fourth" teams, will be coached by Earl Dunham, Ted Petoskey and Blackie Johnston. The "Black" team will include the "second" and "third" teams and will be guided by Hank Bartos, Ernie Lawhorne and Steve Owen. An interesting feature of the game to watch will be the quarter back duel between Mackie Prickett of the Whites and Jack Hall of the Blacks. Prickett will have the help of two great runners, Mike Caskey and Carl Brazell, at half backs with Crosby Lewis at full back. Hall's running mates will include an all-freshman three some of halfbacks Carrol Mc Clain and Joe Gomes and fullback Bobby Barrett. A surprise player in the game will be Hugh Merck, all-state tackle in 1953, who missed all of last season because of a leg in jury. Merck worked out in sweat clothes earlier during winter drills but donned pads last week, scrim maged Saturday and said his leg held up well. Most of the men eligible to play for the Gamecocks next fall will participate in the game. The men that will not be able to play in clude end Don Sehulster and half back Bill Tarrer, both recuperat ing from recent injuries, and full back Ed Adams and tackle Bob Schwartz, both recovering from knee operations last fall.
