famous local youngster.
He won the grateful homage of links
men hereabouts when he put Philly on
the~map last week by walloping Francis
Oumct in one wet thunderstorm Mt the
'nsstbirty eighth green. Platt is thus eager
ly watched for results today. He is
being ably backed by Paul Tewkesbury,
another local amateur. who took away
the medal at Oakmont from the glitter
4 ing field in the national for the low
score on the second thirty six holes to
qualify.
