Kindt Is Star
Kindt's golf was more than con-
sistpnt Not merely for Il youth of his
me-. but for almost any amateur 1t was
sensational. In the qualifying round
on Monday he shot Il seventy mine.
. Yesterday, in eliminating his opponents
in the first and second round OF the
championship fight. he came back with
another seventy mine and, an eighty
three. Good enough golf for any ono
not n mention n nineteen year old boy.

has been playing the links game sine"
the tender age Of thirteen and In every

During the last three he has gone into
the semi finals. where greater power
and eypcriencc beat him down.
Kirdt is student nt State College.
and the folks out Center County way
think thai hc is about the best golfer in
This land. Today is his big test. for he
fought his way into the semi final round
and now has to face the cream OF the

Stevens Top Scorer
Though the Old York Road hoy was
tho biggest attraction ut TOrrestlale. his
best score was topped by G. w. Stevens,
OF Huntingdon Valley, who had been
eliminated in the first round. Stevens
shot n MAGNIFICENT seventy -siX--cOming
back in one under par. lie needed TO
do it at that. as his equally youthful
opponent, Oscar Hale. did not require
more than seventy eight strokes to COM
pletc the eighteen holes.
The consensus of opinion Is that
Young Kindt and W. :. Brndl". who
was runner IN last year. will meet IN
the final duel today. Bcadle is n Liam
erch boy and one Of the best golfers IN
junior ranks. The battle between he

J. Franklin Mcehan, minister plrni-

All sports and colleges are calling
for support. They get it. Golf is get

thousands every year. Yet good many
are inclined TO overlook the value of the
junior events. Colonel Mcehan is blaz-
Ing the way, and when such young men
as Kindt, Beadlc, Stevens, Hale and
others of that kidney show the stuff of
which they are made, he feels that the
ume he has spent on them is well worth
