NUMBER
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Unless the rapid increase in
local women's golf tournaments
strikes q snag, it will be necessary
to use two courses for the major
events or restrict the entries.
This is indicated by the top
heavy entry list for the buffers
tournament tomorrow over the
Kenwood Country Club course.
There are 1872 listed entrants, and
the number will pass the 200-mark
as the result of post entries.
Granting everyone in the field
tees off, the last group will be
struggling into the clubhouse
around 4 p. m. This despite the
fact the field will be started at 8
a. m. and at the first and tenth
tees in order to speed up play.
Fields Grow Swiftly
Only a few years ago, a field OF
so was considered huge for a local
women's tournament. Now, that
number would be small compared
to those of the present day. Golf
among women grows more popu-
lar each year, and the officials OF
the Women's District Golf ASso-
ciation must solve the problem Of
unwieldly fields, much as the men
executives of the clubs did in con-
nection with the fields for the in
vitation events expanded each
year.
Though tomorrow's competition
for the feminine brigade is labeled
the buffers tournament, low
handicap players can take part,
but are not eligible for the major
prize. Nevertheless, special prizes
have been put up for the better
grade golfers. Only those entrants
with handicaps of IA or higher are
eligible for the buffers prize.
Actually, the tourney shouldn't be
thrown open to the lower handi-
cap players.
Miss Harris Is Donor
Miss Elizabeth C. Harris, presi-
dent of the Women's District Golf
Association, is donor Of the main
