Qualifying Round
Makes Course in rs As
Chevy Chase Tourney
Gets Under Way.
BY n. G. sHAND.

There is said to be superstition
prevalent among golfers that the
man who wins the qualifying round
will never capture the tournament.
Indeed, some have an actual dread
of wasting too many fine shots in a
test that doesn't count later on.
But apparently Frank Thompson,
of the Mississauga Club, doesn't
figure it on that basis. In the, quail
flying round of the annual spring
tournament at Chevy Chase yester-
day, he took a 40 on his first nine
holes after a rather poor start. A
repetition of this score on his last
nine would have given him an 80,
comfortably placing him in the hrst
sixteen, but not making his round
particularly conspicuous.
/ However. this was evidently not
his idea. With brides on the
eleventh and fourteenth holes, he
navigated his last nine in 30. Civ
ing him a total of 10, four over par,
but an exceptionally good score,
considering the heavy course His
card:
Out ............S46 335 $3.50
In ......334 435 445-35-75
One stroke back of Thompson
came S. M. Newton. The rest of the
first sixteen qualifiers were punched
behind this pair and separated by
a scant four strokes. led by Russell
Smith, of waverly Club.
Smith gained third place, due
to an exceptionally fne start. He
was off like a whirlwind, but wilt
ed bit coming in, and he had to
be contented with rs.
The rest of the sixteen qualihers
were punched close behind this trio,
with a scant three-stroke margin
separating the fourth and sixteenth
men. Some classy golfers are in
cluded in this first fight. almost any
one of which may romp away with
win.
