Shortened Rom-ney's Gridders Close Season With Ore Diggers. In a lopsided game in' which the Miners outclassed in every department except sameness, the state Bobcats of Bozemaa piled up a score of 86 to 0 yesterday afternoon at Clark park on a field that was a mixture of an Ice field and a shallow lake. According to the dopesters, the state college squad would have made a total of 100 points on a good field. More than three tons of salt had been sprinkled on the field during the morning which at that time resembled a huge 6kat5ng rink. The salt thawed the frost but the cold temperature during the afternoon again soon had most of the field a glare of glassy ice.

Hatfield was the outstanding star for the Bobcats, sprinting. SO yards for a touchdown before the lighter local team realized the speed of its opponents. Winner, Sullivan and Bawden for the Bozeman team were also outstanding stars while Coach Bomney used practically the entire squad against the light Mines team. The Mines never threatened at any stage of the game and after the first quarter, which went the regulation 15 minutes, the periods were cut to 10 minutes to have the field cleared for the Great Falls-Butte high school classic which was sceduled for 2:30 o'clock. Another feature of the Bozeman play was that the visitors never once used the forward pass.

A lucky break favored the Bobcats their next two touchdowns. Tollow-ng- the next kickoff, the Mines in possession of the ball a punt was blocked. MeQutnn grabbed the pigskin and scampered over the line and a few minutes later Winner done the same thing on a Mines punt. Cottom scored for Bozeman later on a similar play.

The Adairs and the Jones have been lifelong friends. Perrit Adair was second only to Bobby Jones as a golf prodigy, and they played many exhibition matches.

When Bobby started his business career last year he was given a desk in the cellar and one of his first-duties was collecting rents. This menial start was a rude shock to one of the boy's elder golfing admirers, who dropped in to see how he was getting along. "What do you do when you call for the rent and your party is out?" inquired the visitor. "Do you say Bobby Jones will call again?" "No, sir," replied Jones, "I just say the rent man will be around tomorrow." Jones always is quiet and modest, and his victories have pleased every one. Even the professionals, who say that Jones is a real amateur.

He hasn't Invaded the pro's line of activities by selling his name to anyone for boosting purposes.

There was also some idea that Bobby's father might be the "Jinx." The old gentleman was a former Georgia Tech football and baseball star, and Interested in all athletics. Ha followed the boy in ail his big matches and Bobby naturally had some part of his mind on pleasing his father. Last year Jones, stayed at home when Bobby played in the national open and Bobby won the title after an'lS-hole playoff with Bobby Cruick-shank. This year the elder Jones stayed home again and Bobby won the national amateur. But Jones had also changed his style of play.

Stewart Maiden, the little' Scotch professional who was In Atlanta when Bobby was first brought over the golf course by his father. Is given credit for developing Bobby Jones' wonderful skill. Maiden says he didn't do It. Bobby developed his own form and Maiden simply gave him a few pointers. The form must be pretty good when Vardon, the English player, years ago said Jones was "the world's greatest stylist In golf." In 1916 Jones was a stocky boy of 14, In short pants, and he entered and played through his first national tour In 1920 at the Engineers' cluh Jones player in the west.

A fetv ago Bobby Jones' father tfald: "Bobby will have to win the amateur championship soon If he Is going to win at all; he can't give his time to golf much longer." Bobby made good by going out and winning the amateur, and whether the youthful wizard of tee and putting green -will be satisfied with that, or will go right along playing among the champions for years to come nobody else knows.
