Plan Sectional
Qualifying Rounds
fOrU. S. Golf Title

New York, Nov. 19-Sectional quail
flying rounds, one in the east and
another in the west, will precede the
next annual open championship Of
the United States Golf Associa ton,
it was announced at the opening ses-
sion today of the annual meeting Of
the Professional Golfers Associa-
ton. 1t also was voted to hold next
years professional tournament at the
French Lick Springs Country club
from September Il to 20. inclusive.
In each section of the open tourna-
ment qualifying round there will be
conducted a 36-hole medal play
round and the 40 low qualifiers and
ties will be eligible for championship
play. The dates of the sectional
rounds. although not definitely set,
are expected to fall on the Wedhes-
day and Thursday prior to the open
championship.
This action by the P. G. A. confirms
a prediction made several weeks ago,
and is the outcome of an attempt to
reduce the unwieldy fields which
have reported for open title play in
the past several years. Such a plan
was recommended by the p. G. A.
last year, and this year, the United
States Golf Association placed the
conduct of the championship in the
hands of the professional organ!za-
ton.

At the low point today December
