low gross score. but selected the former
prize, as il placed his name on the Birney
trophy. and makes him eligible to COM

nament.
Varella's gross was 50. and his decision
to take the net-score prize gave Earl
Wheeler. who had an 81. the gross score
one. Every other winner has been in the
10s, and the chances are that il will be
long time before another player with
card of 50 over will win it. The
green committee has had gang of men
picking crab grass from the greens,

a little rough and accounts for the high
scores.
Qualification cards have been turned in
during the past week for the August
