lege preparatory schools within
a radius of a few miles of Washington
may be held this year, under the
auspices of the District Of Columbia
Golf Association. While the high school
youngsters were today making up
schedule of their team matches for the
Dawes Cup, put up several years ago
by the former Vice President OF the
United States, school authorities were
in touch with D. L. Thomson, president
of the District Golf Association, inquir-
ing whether the organization will be
willing to sponsor the affair.
IT see no reason in the world why
the District Golf Association should not
sponsor q real, interscholastic individual
championship" Thomson said TO-DAY.
I'VE enver have had a real inter-
scholastic tourney around washington,
and I believe if the District association
took charge of it and ran it OF under
proper auspices 1t would become one OF
the big tournaments OF the year 1or tne
Youngsters. For example, l am sure
one of our clubs would loan It's course
/
could charge an entry fee sufficient TO
cover the cost of purchasing the medals
! for tie prize winners. The idea Is
good one. and 1 intend to bring 1t be-
! fore the association at an early meet
