soro him. Rotan, who is one of the longest

NJ the hole and had long pitch from the
yoIgh, across pits to the green.
He played his ball with a good kick and

NJ hounds The tee was set back on the
fourth hole, but the tall Texan leaned on
hls ball so hard that it carried nearly to
the brook.
Not much has been said about the drlv
inr powers of one Max we'll Marston. but
rhen he catches n ball its flight is some
thing tremendous. He drove to. the creek
before the 18th green and the ball had

when he and Rotan get together in match

The first bird on the nth hole was made

One of the cleverest of the birds was

badly buried in the rough to the left. Some
crabapple trees lowered between his shot
and the pin, but he went a mile in the air
and landed almost dead for his bird.
Mexico Calls Some
Some of the players were not able to
enter because of the call to arms in Mexico.
Among these was Harold Sands, who is a
member of the First City Troop.
He did we'll last year in this classic and
was expected to repeat this year. The alb
sence of others who had promised to play
was blamed on the war situation.
But that did not keep many of the en-
trants from being so close to the long 7th
hole that it was nothing but a midget chip
dot to the flag for their third shot The
Tee had been moved back, too.
Marston was one of those to be pinched
for lack of room to lay on his ball. He
oyershot the hole in his first round and
then had to run down a long downhill putt
for bird. Marston is playing an overlap
