| because of the presence on it's team of
Maurice j. Mccarthy the metropolitan
champion and Walker Cup team al
ternate, naturally gets the headlines,
but we are not so sure that q match
between the two schools would find
Georgetown winning by large margin.
George Washington has such fine play
ers as John 9. Shorey and Charles w.
Cole, Jr., on its team, either of whom
are capable Of giving Mccarthy quite
an argument.
Dick Wilson, the stalwart lad from
Southern Pines, N. c., who was a reg
ular on the Georgetown team last
Spring, and was runner-up in the
washington tourney, has been having
his clubs gone over by Dave Thomson,
pro at Washington, and Mccarthy and
the other members Of the team have
been practicing from time to time, in
preparation for the matches in the In
tercollegiate League, in which the golf
warriors from the Hilltop lost only two
tits last year.
The Georgetown team will be COM
posed this year, If the trials work out
as expected, Of Mccarthy, Chick Beger,
Dick Wilson, Bob Manning, Mark
Flanagan and Jack juicy. j. Nevins
Mcbride, regular last year, has grad
uated, and his place Is to be taken by
juicy. Georgetown has q match sched-
uled for next Saturday with william
and Mary at Williamstown, Va, but
definite arrangements for the contest
have not yet been made. Others out for
the Hoya team are Matt Cheshire, Jack
Clancy, Stanley Corcoran, Pete Mona.
CHAN and Arnold McCaffrey. George
town was beaten last year in the Inter-
collegiate League by Princeton and
Yale. and with the lineup it has this
these two schools. The first league
match Georgetown has scheduled is the
contest with Dartmouth, to be played at
Green Meadow, on Long Island, the
first week end in May.
A practice putting course, open TO
the public, Is to be opened at Seven
teehth and B streets this morning
Players may use the course for a
nominal fee. Flood lights have been
installed to permit night play.
Columbia's fifth hole, the terror Of
most golfers during the Summer. has
been toned down considerably by use Of
a temporary teee during the winter
rules" season. The green Is reached
every once In Q while in two shots by
the long hitters Of the club and every
once In while some one slips in a
putt for an eagle g. Miller STEVENSON
has done it once or twice this year
and has driven so far he reached the
green with an iron club.
In all the years the public courses
have been In operation around Wash
ington seldom have they had the volume

on such occasions as the weather man
relents and sends along a good day for
golf. Days With 500 and 900 starters
are not uncommon at both East Po-
tori1ac Park and Rock Greek Park, and
on one day the starting list at East
Potomac has gone up to 800. which
is better than any day Of other years
at this season, when the kinks of llsty
golf swings have barely been removed.
A party Of eight golfers from WASH
ington and Columbia are planning a
week end of golf at Annapolis Roads.
Included In the party are d. g. Gruver,
j. Logan Hopkins, G. r. Lynes and
w. r. McCallum Of washington, r.
p. Moves Of Chevy Chase and L. w.
Heron, j. 3. Murphy and Harold Phil
lips Of Columbia.
Al Treder Of Manor says even good
golfers sometimes 60 wrong, and tells
yarn Of how he played the third
hole with Harry Pitt and George r.
Miller, two of Manor's best club swing
ers. Miller stepped up and drove out
q lusty hook that ended 100 yards on
the line at the left. Pitt then stepped
up and half-topped to the right and
Treder stepped up remarking that you
fellows now win look at Q good shot"
He swung and the ball trickled miser-
ably of far in the woods to the right.
It has not yet been found.
