Aside from routine business and
discussion of topics relative to the
management of libraries, there

STYLE CHATS

Perhaps I should mention eau

great show who walks on the CELL
ing certainly won't. He is smart
enough to know that the "new'
always must be given first con-
sideration and caution second.
There are plenty of folks going
through life upside down but
don't know it. Anyway this hui
man fly defies all the laws of
gravitation and dusts out across
the ceiling of the Big Show walk
ing with vacuum cups on his feet
and I suppose a legitimate hope in
his heart. He is concerned only
with giving the public something
new, and with modern technique.
While his midriff is no doubt con-
fused, his mind can't afford con-
fusion, and while I'm not given to
glibbering moralizing. more women
ought to eradicate their grim con-
fusion from the shopping trips, and
buy courageously of the newest
notes instead of repeating on old
fashions. Yesterdays S tricks are so

EXAMINATION
ON SATURDAY

Announcement has been made
that the Subject A English EXAM
ination, which all students must

their graduation certificate. A
fee of SO cents will be charged.

ing the test includes pen and

Realizing that the kind of ex-
animation previously given does
not sufficiently test the students
comprehension of the kind of prose
that he must read during his fresh
man year in college, the commit
tee on the Subject A has decided
to change the type of test given.
This year the test will be divided
into two parts: ID the student will
read selection of expository prose
from 600-800 words in length. He
will then answer a set of questions
based upon the reading; CD the
student will write an essay of about
400 words on one of the suggested
topics based upon the reading ma
terial. Although he should pay at
tention to spelling and punctuation
in this essay, he should center his
attention upon logical organization
and clear coherent sentences and
should demonstrate his ability to
gather ideas from print and form
correct opinions of what he reads.

HOPES VANISH
ASSHOTSGO
ASTRAY
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Harry Rusty" saunders Cooay
stands as the hard-luck contestant
in the annual District public
parks golf championship which
ended with the final SO holes yes
terday at Rock Greek Park.
Leader at the end Of the first
SO holes at East Potomac Monday
with ISL, Saunders not only failed
to come off with the premier
honorS but didn't earn berth on
the four-man team that Washing
ton will send to Pittsburgh for
the national championship the
latter part Of this month.
Saunders held three-Stroke
lead over his closest purSuer,
Claude Rippy, as the third round
began at Rock Creek yesterday.
However, misfortune dealt with
him cruelty and he fell to the
rear with an 81. The heaviest
blow was an 8 on the thirteenth
where an out-of-bounds shot and
other mistakes were costly.
Connolly FOrges Ahead
In the meantime, Johnny Con.
nelly, who had totaled 155 for
his SO holes at East Potomac
Park, stepped ahead Of the pa
rade with a 70, four over par.
This gave him 227 for 81 holes
while Rippy, scoring 76, remained
in the runner-up spot with 230.
Saunders, Bobby Burton, John M.
Baer and John r. Miller were
tied for third with 232 apiece.
Saunders shot into second with
a IS for the first nine on the
final leg in the afternoon, but
Connolly heightened his lead
with a par-eQualing "a, thanks
to some fine work on the greens.
Rippy dropped back to third
with 38 while Johnny Miller and
Harlan Will, the 1888 champion,
were deadlocked for fourth with
271 at this point.
The last nine holes saw Con-
nelly'S game go aSunder, but his
huge lead saved him and the
youngster managed to outlaSt
Rippy by a single stroke to cap
ture the championship. Connolly
used up 43 strokes on the final
nine for a 72-hole total Of 304,
while Rippy, with 81, picked up
six strokes to finish with 305 for
second.
Jinx Thwarts Saunders
Saunders, Will and Baer tied
for third with 308 and in the
playoff for the two places on the
team, Saunders found the jinx
blocking his path again.
On the third hole, Saunders had
a putt for a birdie three to win,
but stroked the bali too firm and
it rolled 10 feet past the cup. He
managed to get down the return
putt while Will and Baer holed
long puts for their pars. On the
second hole, Will and Baer sunk
long puts for birdie three and
there remained no necessity for
Saunders to putt as he was lying
three. Summaries:
