Boros Speaks Out Royal and Ancient Gets Royal Lashing Time U.S. Took Over Command of Golfdom By OSCAR FRALEY, United MIAMI. The pion Julius Boros asserted ciation to realize that the is the capital of the golfing Boros is a quiet man who seldom lips his way into the public prints. Yet like most professional golfers he feels that the lads who fill their wallets with a wedge should have more say about the rules of golf in co operation with the USGA. It's time that Boros the USGA Boros started looking ahead, to the contributions of the PGA, and not back to the tradition-bound influence of the Royal and Ancient in Scotland," he held.

Maybe, he suggested, the Royal and Ancient should look West to the United States. "I'd guess," he pointed out, "that we have more golfers in California alone than they have in all Scotland. It's my belief that the United States, and the PGA, have done more to sell the game in the world than Royal and Ancient. Tradition is fine but there has to be a limit somewhere." Time for Change Boros, the 1952 Open champion, firmly believes that it is time that the USGA consults the PGA and follows its lead on golfing rules. "We have been trying to get a 16-club limit for at least six years that I know of," he said.

"They keep hedging on it, putting it off and saying they'd like to Press International Sports come, former U. S. Open chamtoday, for the U. S. Golf AssoUnited States and not Scotland world.

discuss it another year. Well, we voted last year adopt the 16-club rule. They'd like a 12-club rule. I can't understand why. The manufacturer makes four woods, 10 irons, a wedge and a putter.

So why not 16 clubs?" The pros play the game every day and know even better than the USGA, he contends, what would be good for the game. "Look at the rule on Phil Rodgers Open last year," he analyzed. "He hit it into a tree. Under our that's a one shot penrules alty. Under USGA rules it's a two-shot penalty.

"Now say there's a tree on one side and water on the other," he went on. "Hit it into the water and it costs you one shot. But hit it into the trees and it costs you two under USGA rules. What's fair about that?" Burr in Saddle 15 0 Boros still has to be annoyed over the fact that last year he mislaid his U. S.

Open entry and, when he sent it in late, it was not accepted. "Yet I know they called several players on the tour who had not sent entries and suggested that they file," he said. "But even tho I was a former Open champion, they didn't give me this courtesy. They should pay a little more attention to the PGA and its members, and less to the Royal and Ancient." All of which makes sense when you consider the low esteem in which pros are held in Europe. Millington In Tenn.

It's Providence vs. Marquette and Canisius vS. Villanova tonight in the semifinals of the National Invitation Basketball tournament with Marquette and Villanova favored to win.

A close to capacity turnout of 18,000 was expected at Madison Square Garden for the double header. Providence, and boasting a 13-game winning streak, goes against the third-seeded Warriors from Milwaukee in the first game. Ernst Out Normally the Friars from Rhode Island, who won the 1961 NIT but were eliminated in the first round last year, might be favored, but an injury to Vinnie Ernst, their foot-8 sparkplug, changed the picture. Ernst pulled hamstring muscle Tuesday night in Providence's quarter-final victory over Miami of Florida. He has been listed as a doubtful starter and even if he gets into the game is not expected to be up to par.
