nv R. Id. ThOInas

committee chairman of Indian
Spring, spun a yarn the other
day of Hunters driving that bears
repetition.
"This happened in a tournament
down at Frederick, Md" said
Mac, land it isn't easy to believe.
However, there are reliable wit
nesses.
cts a 9.hOIe course and
Hunter pulled this stunt twice
in an 18-hOle round. The hole
in question is a par 3. The
second shot calls for a carry
over a ditch which is 3S5
yards from the tee.
1.-THE first time around Hunter
used a driver. He figured to get
over the ditch easily on his second.
But his TEE SHOT went INTO the
ditch.
"Well, the second time around he
planned to be short of the ditch
and used a spoon from the tee.
And AGAIN he found the ditch,
This isn't quite as remarkable
as it sounds, though, because about
the last Is yards to the ditch is
favorable slope. In the matter of
getting there with a spoon, well,
Hunter hits a ball almost as far
with spoon as he does with a
driver. He gets on No. 10 of. our
course right along with q spoon
and that's about a 275yard poke,
from the front tee"
Those who have seen Hunter
when his wooden clubs were
under excellent control are
willing to believe about any
thing that might be said Ut
his long hitting.
It is understood that several clubs
will request all participants in the.
qualifying rounds of their tourna-
ments not to turn in cards unless
they are reasonably sure of playing
through. 1t has been whispered. too,
that chronic defaulters may not be
invited.
1t is coming to be regarded as
a golfing crime for a player to
permit his name to he listed for
match play when a default is prob
able. He is the thief of another
mans time.

tomorrow in the Chevy Chase

TEAM PLAYS
By George A. Simpson


"On to Amsterdam" is the slogan
guiding the unconquered Maryland
University lacrosse team which APP
pears in It's final home game to-
morrow afternoon against Lehigh
University in the Byrd Stadium AT
College Park, Md. Action will be-
gin at $3.50 o'clock and a near ca
pacity crowd is the outlook.
Lehigh is not expected to give
much concern to the TerrapinS, Who
have clustered eight straight vic
tories over the strongest collegiate
twelves in the East and South. The
Marylanders, though looking for a
fight from the Bethlehem ante
lopers, will attempt to polish their
attack for the Johns Hopkins skirm-
ish on May 26.
Maryland has a strong chance OF
going to the Olympics as this coun-
try's lacrosse representative and the
players are working extra hard to
attain this goal.
Capt. Wilbur Street, gOalie,
and Fred LinkOus, in.hOme, are
almost certain to be named on
the aII-America college team.
They are regarded as superb
opponents of the old Indian
sport and their playing has kept
the Terrapins at the top of the
pack. Slater Davidson, Bill
Evans, and Weller Holloway
have also been dominant factors
In Maryland's success at la
crosse,
Inspired by the presence Of the
japanese Ambassador. Tsuneo Mat
suidaira, the keio University base
ballers from Tokyo, Japan, copied
a loose game from Georgetown,
IA to Il, on the Hilltop Field. The
weird contest reached ten frames
before the Orientals tailed three
counters.
1t wasn't n smuggling match as
far as Georgetown was Interested.
for the visitors did all the heavy
stickwork. They clouted four
Georgetown hurlers, none of whom
had more than a glove on his hand,
driving out four homers. Two OF
these were collected by Minorl
Yamashita, the Babe Ruth of
Japan" This Yamashita person is
some pumpkins of hitter. He
bats from the portside of the plate
and takes mean slice.
His circuit drives were not Of
the cheap variety, but were de
posted in the valley that lies
adjacent to the Ryan gymnas-
ium.
His second four-ply swat iced the
verdict for his team in the tenth.
kusumi opened with a single, but
was forced at second. Capt. Frank
Gillespie. the last Hilltop finger to
take up the mound burden, sent
one down the heart of the alley and
the ball started on a flight that
ended in the trees.
Georgetown remained in the con-
test simply because the visitors
were in a philanthropic mood. They
probably thought. this the best
method of expressing their graft
tude to their American hosts. Any
way. keiO almost tossed the game
to Georgetown on several occasions
as the result Of errors and bases
on halls. This was especially true
in the ninth when the Hilltoppers
tied the count on four runs, two OF
which were plain gifts.
