strode to the first tee of the Mini

downpour of rain today, as the
qualifying rounds for the 3lst ma

The rain, which had started short

soaked the course and dispelled
practically all hope of sensational
scores.
John Riddick of Omaha, and Ray

first to leave the tee. From $50

afternoon the march of those who
would qualify echoed over the elm

Hess is rated as one Of the best

pretty good care of himself when

Duncan had more or less of an
easy time in disposing of Tony in
their latest fight, having the better
of the fight at all times after the
first round, although Tony did show
few flashes of form that had Pat
guessing. While Pat is picked to
hold his own against Hess in the
pending clash, the Los Angeles boy
