 The two other stars named by the committee, Jesse Guiltord and George Von Elm, have not as yet definite answer. Both are anxious to play against inc Britons and will do so unless business prevents it.
 It is to be hoped Eon Elm will be able to make the trip, a.s he is one Of the best of the amateurs. Only recently he finished second to Harry Cooper in the California open.
 The naming of Gum and Mac kcnzio came as surprise, as both arc youngsters and inexperienced, While Mackenzie was me1alist at the last national amateur event, he didn't get very far in competition. He has yet 10 prove that he is q strong competitive player Gum l. getting much valuable experience playing in the Florida events this winter paired with Bobby Jones.
