Outstanding in the Wash
ington Golf and Country In
vitation tournament, which
qualified a record field OF zoo
. entrants yesterday, was the
presence of a formidable ar
ray of college and schooIboy
golfers, with no less than
seven entering the champion
ship flight.
Maurice j. Mccarthy, now con-
nected with the Green Meadow Club
of Brooklyn, led the college delega-
ton by making the course in 10,
par for the course. The medalist,
also a member of Washington Golf
and Country Club, is captain of
the Georgetown University golf
team and holds the intercollegiate
championship.
Dick Wilson, Mark Flanagan, and
]. L. Clancy are other Hilltop
Inksmeri who crashed into the first
flight, while J. P. Quinn and J.
Neyins Mcbride. two other Hill
toppers, were forced into the second
division losing out in the draw
when five were tied with ~ apiece
for the last three places in the
first flight. Frank K. Roesch, OF
Washington; Harry G. Pitt. OF

Indian Spring Club pro and student
at Central High, and Tommy WeoD'
ir.. of Washington Golf and Coun'
try Club and student at Western
High. are upholding the schooipoys
in the top bracket. Hunter bore our
predictions that he would gain the
first flight by scoring a 7S. while
Webb came home with II.
Georgetown golfers in the second
group are J. Nevins Mcbride, J. p.
Quinn, Bob Manning, Norbert Wiss-
Ter and E. r. O'Neill. Jack Foley
and r. III. Per1itz, of the Hilltop,
and A. e. Alexander, of George
washington University, are in the
third division and F. Doran. or
Georgetown, managed to get into
the fifth section.

margins. He came to the
fifteenth green one under par.
and needed par figures for the
succeeding holes. A missed
putt, which hung on the rim of
the cup at the eighteenth,
robbed him of a SO.
DR.. Larry S. Oten, of Indian
Spring and former public links
champion, with a IA, led the quail
fiers until late in the afternoon
when his score was tied by H. ].
HiemenZ, of Lancaster, Pa. Otell
was the victim of wretched golf on

a 40. suffering penalty strokes on
the first and fourth holes for out

eighth. Yet, he reversed his game

would have gained the first

Endeavoring to play out, Barkalow
topped his drive and knocked Cal

played his next shot from the new
lie instead of the original lie, ex-
planning he didn't. know the rule
that governed such situation.
Maury Fitzgerald. who did exceed
ingly we'll with an S3, also was
party to an unusual happening.
While playing the fourteenth green
his midiron smash struck Howard
Beale, caddy boy, who was between
the green and tee. Beale was
knocked to his knees, but soon re-
covered. Fitzgerald, who is return
ing to golf after lay-off of several
years, is regaining his old form
He'll probably give a good account
of himself in future play.
The early morning qualifiers were
unnaindful of the rain, as only six
failed to report at the starting tee
