sturdy exponent Of the school of

Many Tee on Today.
Today the bulk of the big field, in
cluding most of the handpicked
cracks, tee off. and 1t is hardly like
ly that McKimmie's score OF 81 will
remain low, in view OF the wealth
of talent which Is to go off the first
tee between l and o'clock this
afternoon. However, like Gene Sara
zen at Skokie last year, Mckimmie
has his, and the others have theirs
to get. and his 81 may last through
the day. Weather conditions today

too cold to play without sweaters.
