a S the boys pound around the
"A Beverly Hills course in Chi
cago, playing the second 18 holes of
the 36-hole national amateur
qualifying round, we are hopeful
that Indianapolis young star, George
Lance, will be among the select 80
low scorers when the final tabula-
ton is made tonight.
George was second of trio of HooSier
amateurs in the big event over the first
round of play Monday with an 80. Johnny
Lehman. former western amateur cham
pion and Big Ten titlist. familiar with the
course over which the play is being held,
had 70. Will Redmon Jr. of Notre Dame,
had an "a.
In the class that George is playing to-
day an 80 is not so hot. In fact it will
take rs or rs at the most today to get
in the select circle.
George was one of the fourteen players
with 80's who were tied for the forty
eighth position in the field of 135 as the
second round began this morning. There
were thirty-two players who had 70 or
better Monday.

NTALTER HAGEN, greatest of
w all golf stylistS and exhibition
players, will invade the midwest
for three appearances in this terri
tory next weekend. On Saturday,
Hagen will match strokes with Bill
Heinle-n, 20-year-old state amateur
champion, over the Hills course at
French Lick.
H. j. Fawcett. French Lick manager.
was impressed with the game young Helm
lein played at the Springs course recently
to carry off HooSier simon pure honors
In fact Fawcett figures if Heinlein can
fire 80 at the Haig on the first nine as
he old at Phil Talbot of Bloomington in
that final match, the great exhibirionist
will have something to match
The match at French Lick will begin at
3 .. m. and undoubtedly many Indianapo-
lis folks will travel down south and see
the youngSter perform against one of the
country'S best. On Sunday Hagen will be
in Louisville for an exhibition.
Il
Monday. Hagen will be in town. He
will play an eighteen-hole round at Me-
ridian Hills at .. m. When the gallery
comes out to see Hagen he is the fellow
they watch. Even the great Bobby Jones
can't compare with 1.-The Haig" in giving
an exhibition of the Scotch game. Jones
never relished a gallery. Hagen does.
Walter has been suspected a time or two
OF deliberately aiming a shot into the
sand trap side of a green. Just to give the
gallery the treat supplied with a re-
markable recovery shot. He usually gets
within foot or two of the pin. Look for
those kind of shots Monday. Hagen has
reputation of being the recovery king and
trouble hardly hurts his final score to anv
extent.
Meridian Hills officials have selected
three local players to complete the four
some. Dick Nelson will team with Hagen
in a best ball match against Neal Nc
Intyre. Highland pro and state open
champion. and Roy Smith. Avalon pro.
There will be a special prize posted for
the boys to shoot at that will require each
of them to hole out every putt for in
dividual medal scores.
Ben Cohee. local amateur star of Me-
ridian Hills. will serve as official referee.
Bill Diddel will serve as official scorer.
F. o. Belzer. local chief Boy Scout master.
will detail a group of scouts to the course
to act as guards around the greens.
