The dope is badly mixed at Shawnee,
altto Roy Bailey, midsummer ana
1929 champion, is still in the running.
His previous victories make MIN a
dangerous contender for the cup he
plays Ray Stewart and in the event ne
wins he plays the winner of the An
derson-Whitaker bout. If he wins
again he is in the finals with the VIC
tor of the Crow-Sargent match.
The sensation of the tournament mas
been the playing of Churchill Sargent.
This is only his second season or golI,
vet he has defeated three of ShawnSe's
sweetest pIayers-"Pete' Middleton4
1920 state champion, Dan Studdard,
runnerup in the midsummer cnarn-
pionship and Stinson. Sargent is
former Washburn football star and
places tremendous strength into ms
shots. His irons out of the rough are
the best ever witnessed on the High
land Park course. His drives are furi-
Gus screamefs but he has not learned
to place much confidence in their
direction
