...Long Ball. There is little danger of Mike's collapsing. He has the crowd-proof calm of a winner. Once he is on the tee, his green eyes settle into a squint, his rugged shoulders swivel through a couple of practice swings; then he steps up to belt the ball a country mile. Lately he has been trying so hard to substitute control for power that his drives sometimes roll out to a mere 300 yards. A perfectionist with his irons, Mike is one of those rare types, a long-ball hitter who can also handle approaches and putts...
Another change would put stricter limitations on the movement of the linesmen to discourage the "sucker shift." And, to lessen the number of short kicks, the use of a three inch tee may be permitted instead of the present one inch tee...
...spent an hour and a half in his office and then went to the practice tee with Pro Ed Dudley. The President had played only once since he left Denver Oct. 15, and his game had deteriorated.

A Pelham, N.Y. builder named Warren Schaller who applied for a loan guarantee in 1949 waited six months for FHA approval. The FHA granted the guarantee, said Schaller, two months after he hired Grace & Grace on the advice of "friends in the game." But Grace said the sequence of events had no significance ; the handling of the application was routine. The committee cited another builder whose application for a $325,000 guarantee had been turned down by the FHA. When Grace...
