4 REPORT from Charlottesville
IN Tuesday stated that E. H.
(Squealer) ONeal and Dick Taylor
won the playof for first place in
the weekly pro-amateur Monday by
defeating Marion Smith, Craw-
louisville pro, and Ray Robertson,
Indianapolis amateur, in a three
hole playoff.
1t should have stated that they
defeated Smith alone. Robertson
went home before the playoff time
came and Smith carried the load
alone.
O,Neal, one of Crawfordsville's
best amateur players, had a novel
round. He was driving his shots
well all afternoon, particularly his
iron shots. and although he was
up near the pin time and again
he just couldn't get putt down
for birdie. TIE took two puts
on every one of the first eighteen
green's.
Then he reached the playoff, and,
believe it or not, he used only one
putt on each of the three holes
played. Smith was able to match
him on the first two. When they
reached the short third hole and
"Squealer" socked his tee shot to
within eighteen inches of the cup
and dropped in deuce, he won
the marbles.
Willard Rags) Redmond, Peru
amateur, was red hot in the play
Monday He banged his way around
the links in an individual So, just
two strokes more than the best
ball score of the two teams which
tied ~ first. He and his partner
won third place.

Association, which will hold it's an
