Matches Last Season
and Won All.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

Y COOKING forward TO announcer
year of successful interscholas-
tic competition (the lads have
been tops in schoolboy golf
around the Capital for the last four
or five years. the golf team of George
town Prep School is being organized
these days with another clean sweep
Of the scholastic events in mind.
The Little Hoyas will lack the in
spired leadership of such lads as
Frank Allan, metropolitan schoolboy
champion, and Maury Nee. prob
ably the best schoolboy golfer around
Washington for the last two years, but
in their places have come along a
group Of free-swinging youngsters who
can make a golf ball sit up and bite
itself at their bidding. Under the
leadership of Frank Emmett, direc-
tor of athletics at the Garrett Park
school. the G. U. Prep team shapes
up this year as another Of those lar
ripping aggregations which Emmett
has been in the habit of putting out
each year, like the outfit of last sea-
son, which played 80 team matches
with aggregationS throughout the
East, and won 'em all, and placed Sec
ond in the national interscholastic title
tourney only because they lost the
services of Frank Carey, star, at
the last minute.
Dettweiler Is Teams Star.
@1lI l.,
~ Dettweiler, the Congressional
kid. who will be II years old
this year and is starring in basket
ball at Garrett Park. will be the
topliner of the golf team. But to
hear Emmett talk you will gather that
Billy, as good as he is, is going to
have a tough time of it with several
other youngsters in maintaining the
No. spot on the golf team. Such
lads as Bob Troutman from Atlanta,
Ga, town which has been in the
since the early days of Perry Adair
and Bob Jones: Ross Muenzen. a
protege Of George Dunlap from New
Rochelle. N. Y, and Ray Higgins of
Duluth are apt to make Billy Dett-
weller hustle for the top spot, in
Emmett's opinion. Others who will
be eligible for the team this year
include Hughes Spalding, another
Atlanta boy, who is the captain of
the team, and Austin Parks from
Roxbury School in Connecticut.
First year boys who will play on
the varsity next year include Jackie
noftuoi1or tho 19-yoor-nld hrOt hor
Of Billy, and member of Congress
sional; Billy MCGOWAN of Kenwood,
son of the base ball umpire; Jules
Titus of Army-Navy. and Joe Meseck
OF Jersey City, N. ].
But Emmett is not satisfied with
sending the G. U. Prep boys out on
the championship chase, away from
their private course at Garrett Park
He is planning another metropolitan
schoolboy tournament, just as he
staged last year, when Frank Allan
won the tournament from Mike Oil
veri, and Maury Nee went down in
the first round before determined
little Bobby Brownell, the kid who
later won the District junior crown.
The dates of May "a, Is and 26, have
been set tentatively for the metropoli-
tan schoolboy tournament and it prob
ably will be played at Indian Spring.
Manor and Congressional, with the
final at the last-named club just as
it was played last year. Allan, the
title-holder. will not be eligible this
year. for the Scranton. Pa. lad Is out
of prep school attending Georgetown
University, while Maury Nee is doing
his golfng around South Bend, Ind,
where he is tabled as a possible
varsity end on the foot ball team next
