Show Policy Pro Football Includes Military Academy Grid Stars BY CARL LTJNDQTJIST ' United Press Staff Cererspoodent ' NEW YORK, April 7 (U.R) A , new policy by National league professional football teams In three annual player draft was evident today because of the inclusion in-clusion in the selection for the first time of stars from the army and navy military academies. Three players. Jack Green, cap-'tain cap-'tain and guard on Army's 1945 team, George Barney Poole, a dependable de-pendable Cadet end, and Bob Jenkins, bone crushing backfield ' star from Navy, were included in the 330 players named yesterday in the long and involved selection " bee. - . Green, a brilliant football tactician, tac-tician, 'was selected by the Chi- cago Bears, Poole by -the New York Giants and Jenkins by the 1 Washington Redskins. j Selection of the academy play-; play-; ers was unusual for several rea-. rea-. i sons. Each of the three has from , ) one- to -three seasons left to play. Each is outstanding not only as an athlete but in his academy career and none of the three is likely to ' leave military service, to take over in the professional gridiron realm. In normal times, the pro clubs made it an unwritten rule not to draft players from the service - schools because the odds were ' long against the players being of any use to them. Only one other academy player, Don Whitmire, - Navy tackle of 'last season, ever had been selected in the draft. He was chosen by Green Bay in 1943. At that time he was not a member of the gridiron squad. - Each of the players named yesterday yes-terday went to another college prior to training at the service schools. They were selected from those schools rather than from Army or Navy. Green was a star lineman at Tulahe, Jenkins went to Alabama and Poole to Mississippi. Missis-sippi. Selection of the academy men along with other players, now in military service, who may or may not be available in 1945, indicated also how desperate is the manpower man-power situation, since a very small percentage, probably less than 10 per cent of the players, are 4-F's, the only group which win be available for the coming season. 2tf any of the players were from schools which abandoned football several seasons ago, others, were stars overlooked in the 1944 draft.

We dicing go out to see but we'll wager a farthing or two that it didn't stop that Jensen, Snow, Halliday, Bean foursome. After all, that snow wasn't VERY DEEP. With the weather colder, than a night watchman's lunch during the forepart of the week it re mained for Fred Conley and Ben Lingenfelter of Salt Lake and Don Neville, a local enthusiast to lead the way.

Golf at Prewar Prices: Ralph Eggertsen, chairman of the membership committee announced an-nounced this week that Provo golfers still pay prewar prices. Season tickets are now available at $20.00 per single membership (male). Lady members and juniors pay $12.50 and a family ticket still costs $25. That's one ceiling that has really held. "Give Wendell 'Tuck' Hoover a little warm weather and he'll have those winter killed spots all out or tne greens, ' says John Memering. As a grass surgeon Tuck' rates tops in the state. Most golfers are not half as worried about those few dead spots as they are about when we can expect those warm days. A Couple of Reminders: . The Nineteenth Hole will be played Thursday evening with activities to get under way at MU p. m. An open invitation is extended to everyone lor the year's best stag party. Next Sunday, April 15 the 1943 golf season will get its official opening. It's another red letter day at the local course. More Golf Slanguage If a golfer talks about "Par" he doesn't mean a race horse. Par Js that regulation number of strokes you are supposed -to be; able to play a hole or a course in, provided pro-vided they are all perfect. Byron Nelson collects around $50,000 a year for consistently shaving a few strokes off par in the nation's big tournaments. To be one over par h a bogey, then there's a double bogey, triple bogey, and there's also the score I shoot. When a fellow shoots "a birdie" he's not out hunting ducks but has just holed out in one less than regulation figures. An "Eagle," that's the king oi Diras so it you shoot an eagle your accomplishment is great indeed. in-deed. You dropped that apple in two less than par figures. "For me that would have to be from a long way out." A "Double Eagle"! Why thev are scarcer than hen's teeth. All you'd have to do would be to play a five par hole in two strokes! Well, Mark Nielsen, Provo's prewar state junior champion cham-pion did just that. He cut a nice slice off the number five dog leg and then sank a 200-yard spoon shot. Whatta boy!
