The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-01

ENTRIES for the ninth annual
II Indianapolis Times interscho-
lastic golf tournament are rolling in
fast, coaches at the various high
schools report, and indications are
that the usual young army of school
boy golfers again will be in the
event when the eighteen-hole quail
flcation round is played over Coffin
course next Wednesday, June 6.
Grade school boys likewise are
showing greater interest than ever
this year with an eighteen-hoie
medal score tournament to be held
for them over the same course.
The official individual entry blank for
both high school and grade school boys
will appear for the first time tomorrow.
Boys who plan to enter the tournament
should clip the blank Immediately and put
1t in the pocket of their school clothing
they will not forget it Monday. At
school Monday they should have it signed
by the principal or golf coach and mail
Monday night.
THE only requirement of this
Il tournament is that each en-
trant be a schoolboy. He must have
attended school right up to the end
of the present spring semester.
The golf coaches at the various high
schOOls-R. T. Campbell, Washington;
Lieutenant George NaylOr, Shortridge;
Brother Eymard, Cathedral; Ed Deiderich,
Broad Ripple; Harold G. Boese. Manual;
Tim Campbell, Technical and Lou Reichel,
Park schOOl-are compiling blanket entry
blanks. That is, they are having the boys
at their schools who intend to play in The
Times tournament sign list and they
will certify the entire list as eligible en-
tries.
However, boys who attend grade school
and high schools in the county are un-
able to do. this and the individual entry
who must have it signed by the township
trustee, principal, teacher or other school
official If the entrant is a caddv and
knows that he attends school, the pro
signature will be accepted. The idea is to
limit the entry to boys who regularly at
tend school and still not make it so diff
cult that ambitious entrants can not meet
the entry requirement.

TINE high school boys will qualify
l. next Wednesday from $3.50
until dark. High school boys out
of school should make it a point to
get to the course as early as posi-
BILE Wednesday morning and play
an eighteen-hole qualification
round.
This will help in two ways. First,
it will relieve congestion before reg
ular patrons desire to play, and
second, it will give the boys who
must attend school Wednesday an
opportunity to play when they ar
rive at the course after school.
Coffin course will afford the young golf
stars stiff test. 1t definitely will de-
termine if these boys who have been able
to fire par and sub-par golf in all of the
preceding tournaments can do so over
the toughest municipal course in Indian
apoIiS.
1t is because of the toughness of the
course that the grade school tournament
has been cut to one eighteen hole round.
g.. 7, 8 and 9 so that it will not conflict
with the Indianapolis District Golf Asso-
ia2a and a. also sG be to p eaS %Hs
who plan to go to work on Monday after
school is out an opportunity to play in
the golf meet.

NICK M'CREARY of Shortridge,
- winner of the 1888 tournament,
will be in the field again this year
trying to win two consecutive
tournaments. Bill Heinlein is the
only player who ever was able to
win two of The Times events, ac-
complishing the feat while he was a
student at Cathedral several years
ago.
There will be the usual abundance of
prizes for players who have low scores in
the qualifying round and who advance
farthest in the match play. There Will
be several prizes for the grade school boys
who have best scores in their eighteen
hole championship Saturday morning. 1t
will be the ninth annual Indianapolis
Times school golf classic and, with large
field of entries, should be bigger and
better.
THE park board has agreed to
l. allow the boys to use the
course without green's fee as move
to stimulate golf among the Juniors
