Southern California has many claims to fame. Add to the list that Southern Cali-fornians were the first to form an Ath-letic and Recreational Turf Association. Although it is the first group of its kind, it shows promise of becoming a strong turf association. The organization is built on the spirit of cooperation among the members.

This association had its inception in May 1950, when the Southern California Conference on Turf Culture met at UCLA. The attendance of 275 consisted mainly of turf men from golf clubs in Southern California. Also invited to the meeting

were a number of men from the nearby Schools and Park Departments. I t was the first Turf Conference for many of these.

During a question and answer period at the evening meeting, Frank E. Collier requested a showing of hands as to how many would be interested in an organiza-tion dealing with Athletic Fields and Rec-reational Turf Areas. More than 20 re-sponded, and this was the nucleus for the present Athletic Fields and Recreational Turf Association.

An organization committee was formed, and a meeting called on August 24th at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Over 40 were present. Carl Bloomfield presided and an election of officers was held with results as follows:

Pres. — Frank E. Collier, Supt. of Grounds, Occidental College. VP—Charles C. Wenger, Supt. of Landscaping and Gardening, Los Angeles City Schools. Sec.-Treas.—Arthur S.

BUCKNER MFG. CO. • Fresno, Calif.

A January meeting was called of those on the mailing list. At the gathering of about 50, the bylaws were adopted, and the officers elected in August were re-elected for another year.

Bylaws are flexible enough to allow membership of persons attached to many phases of turf maintenance, who normally would not fit into the existing turf or-ganizations. Bylaws call for quarterly meetings. Programs for the past year consisted of field trips with a short busi-ness meeting usually held at the noon hour. Dues are $3.00 per year.

Attendance at meetings has been grow-ing steadily. At the November 14th Con-ference there were 92 present. A mailing list of 162 is now in use. Men have at-tended from as far away at Bakersfield, 125 miles to the north, and San Diego, about the same distance to the south.

The primary purpose of the organiza-

tion is to act in cooperation with the UCLA Turf Program, toward the solu-tion of specific turf problems pertaining to the construction, renovation and main-tenance of athletic field turf. Secondly, the organization provides opportunity for group discussion of other phases of ath-letic field operation, such as construction and maintenance of ball diamonds, run-ning track and any other general prob-lems. The experiences and observations brought out in group discussion help the individual superintendent to do his job more efficiently. This work was begun under direct charge of John Gallagher, working under Dr. V. T. Stoutemyer, of the University. Gallagher was of great help to the organization, and is sadly missed since he left for advanced work at Penn State.

College, the Rose Bowl, and the Depart-ment of Buildings and Grounds at UCLA. U-3 has been under test on the football fields of all three cooperators. This grass has several excellent characteristics but at the present time the main objection seems to be the expense of getting it started on the fields. Being a sterile grass, no seed is available for propagation. Fur-ther tests will be made with U-3.

At the 1952 election, Frank Schacht of UCLA succeeded Frank Collier as presi-dent. William Ray Noel of El Cameo College became the new Sec-Treas. Charles Wenger again is vice-president.

At the meetings subjects such as pest grasses, fertilizers, aerifying and various new types of equipment are being dis-cussed and demonstrated. Much interest is shown. Growing attendance testifies to the success of the new organization.

G O L F I N A C T I O N . B y Oscar Fraley, pictures by Charles Yerkow. Price, $2.95. Published by A. A. Wyn, Inc. 23 W. 47th st., New York 36. — Fraley, United Press sports writer, and a veteran in covering golf, writes terse and helpful comment on more than 770 continuous action pictures taken by Yerkow.

The subjects of the motion pictures are Jug McSpaden, Jimmy Thomson, Lawson Little, Bob Hamilton, Vic Ghezzi, Ray Gafford, Jack Burke, Claude Harmon, Craig Wood, Toney Penna, Johnny Spence, Buck White, Herman Keiser, A1 Ciuci and Horton Smith. The grip pic-tures are especially good, being taken from over each player's shoulders.

Fraley has the fellows illustrating strokes with different clubs and although there actually isn't much difference in the ways the stars individually swing with most of their clubs there are very inter-esting differences in the styles of the fel-lows. This is a picture book that will help many pros in their teaching as it gives an abundance of clear pictures that show details the golfers must learn.

S W I N G T H E C L U B H E A D . B y E r n e s t Jones, with David Eisenberg. Price $2.75. Published by Dodd, Mead and Co., N.Y.— This is the third of Jones' books on his "swing the club" theory which has stood up so well over almost a quarter century that Jones is rated one of the world's top golf instructors.

Basically, the Jones idea is that the right swing comes from hand and finger control of the club and when that's cor-rect the pivot and the arm work follow naturally. He's done great with this main idea in teaching national champions and some who, much to everyone's surprise,

CORRECTION IN BOSTON: SNEAD WON THE MASTERS

Wilson's advertising department sends mats of ads to 60 metropolitan news-papers and in case one of the Wilson staff wins a major tournament the papers have instructions to insert the name of the winner in the ad and let the presses roll.

After Snead won the Masters the Bos-ton (Mass.) Evening American slapped Sammy's name in an advertisement for other golf equipment by mistake. Due to considerable previous advertising associ-ating Sam's victories with Wilson equip-ment the error was widely noted. That's the way it goes; make a mistake and al-most everybody catches it. Wilson got out ahead as the paper ran a correcting ad on Sam's second Masters' victory the next day.

HAGEN ISSUES PRO SALES AND REFERENCE BOOK

The Walter Hagen Co., div. of Wilson Sporting Goods Co., has done an excellent job for pro businessmen with its new Walter Hagen Professional Golfer Sales and Reference Book. It is a large, leather-bound loose-leaf book containing valuable information on merchandising, shop layout, club repairs, the Hagen cata-

log and history of Hagen and the Hagen company's contributions to clubmaking.

The merchandising section in itself is a fine short course in buying, record-keep-ing, display, advertising and sales meth-ods, credit, inventory control and rela-tions with club officials and members. The shop layout section also contains valuable suggestions for improving shops.

Inventory control forms and purchas-ing forms are furnished along with the book. Something else that may be had by master pros is the Hagen appointment book which has the half-hour spaces for every day for a year.

This Hagen sales and reference book with its loose-leaf makeup and tab index-ing is a great start for the pro who wants to make his own business manual. Business magazine articles and other ma-terial may be inserted in the book for reference and the pro soon will have a highly valuable book.

The course superintendents have gone into the reference library angle to the extent that it's been exceedingly helpful to them, and the pros can take a tip from their team-mates by making use of the Hagen binder and basic material in com-piling their own compact reference file.

WITTEK CATALOG FEATURES NEW ITEMS FOR RANGES

Driving range operators will find many practical items needed for the manage-ment of successful ranges in the 1952 catalog of Wittek Golf Range Supply Co., 5128 W. North Av., Chicago 39, 111. In addition to a comprehensive line of range balls, clubs, ball pails, tees, etc., for ranges and miniature putting courses, the new Wittek catalog features the new Wittek Batting Practice machine which many ranges are installing to supplement their

income. The batting machine is coin op-erated and has an automatic feed which draws on a hopper with a capacity of 500 baseballs.

Another leader in Wittek's 1952 line is the Magic Fog machine, an inexpensive fogging attachment readily attached to

gasoline operated mowers. The unit, in-troduced last season, has proved its effec-tiveness in ridding range property of mos-quitoes, flies, chiggers, and other pests. Rounding out the catalog's contents is a line of regular golf course equipment in-cluding clubs, golf carts, bags, jackets, head covers and other accessories. The catalog will be sent free to those writing the Wittek address above.

Wilson Sporting Goods Co., Chicago has issued its 1952 press-radio-TV biographi-cal and record books containing material on Wilson men and women advisory staff members and much record data on major tournaments. It's valuable reference work for those who write or broadcast golf.
