title was generally overlooked says "Bunker" golf expert Leo's record consists In having won two national championships two years In succession They are the Professional Golfers’ association championships of 1928 and 1929 and the Canadian open championship of the same years Neither Walter Hagen nor Bobby Jones has a similar record In the matter of championships won Dlegel must now be reckoned to American golf rank No 3 In Hagen with eleven national titles —five P O A 's four British opens and two U S opens — Is first llobby Jonea Ranks Second Bobby Jones with nine national titles — four national amateurs three U S opens and two British opens— Is second Dlegel having won two P O A 's and four Canadian opens takes third place It may be pointed out that the Canadiah' open Is not so Important as the other great national chamHowever competition In pionships it Is as hot as in any event Leo s ability to repeat his victory of last year in the A championship knocks for a goal all those critics who thought he was not These Individuals did courageous not realize that this great player is mprely high strung and that his tendency to fall off In his game in Important events of other years was due to nerve exhaustion not faintheartedness It should be pointed out that In the 1928 championship Dlegel played and beat both Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen and that he repeated this lest this year Walter Gene Considered Best Ever since their memorable battle Of 1922 and 1923 Walter and Gene have been considered the match play aces of professional golfdom Whatever they may have been In the past It Is obvious that Dlegel Is now the king of them all and not In name IS ft 40 Spears Denies Rumor He’ll Be "Oregon Coach MINNEAPOLIS Minn Jan 9 UP) —Dr Clarence W 6pears University
