kampmann plays Carey, Scott meets
Andrews, 1arrant pays Isom and
Lewis has Morris as his opponent.
Scott led ~ golfers who qualified
Tuesday with 8, one of the highest
scores ever made by a city medalist.
But nobody else in rather small
but fast field could break so. High
scores were attributed not only to
the strain of tournament play but to
the poor condition of the green's. Their
putting ruined, some of the players
went to piece in all departments. La
mar Seelingson, who has been lead
ing San Antonio Country Club fields
home in weekly handicap tournaments
with frequency despite his low handi-
cap, got into the first flight but barely
managed it when he drove two balls
in succession into the water off ,..e
last tee. He wound up with an IS.
Scott Was Consistent.
Scott played consistently, at that.
He took 80 for the first nine and 40
for the second.
