morning as an army of junior golf
ers sWarmed over on the popular
city-owned links to participate IN
the tenth annual indianapolis Times
InterscholaStic golf championship |
tournament.
The usual field of near $50 links
men was expected to take part in
the 18-hole qualification test today
before shutdown. The sun played
hide and seek with early starters,
offering a murky sky that prompted
early starters to tote along rain
coats and umbrellas.
McCreary Tries Again
While the field was without de-
Tending champion, Louis Heinleln
having graduated, it was not with
out a champ. Dick McCreary Jr.,
winner of the title ii 1888, who |
graduated from Shortridge last |
week, was in the field making his |
last bid for his second title. Bill
Heinlein, present Coffin course pro, |
is the only two-time winner of The |
Times event in its ten years OF |
history. He won in 1923 and 1929 |
while a student at Cathedral.
Heinlein continued on after VIM
ming his first real title and captured
the state junior, state amateur, In
dianapoIs district and finally the
state open golf championship.
Match Play System Used
Last week, Billy Reed Jr., winner
of The Times championship in 1882,
captured the 1885 district champion
ship and last year won the Indian
spolis Public Links individual title.
The Times tournament is decided
upon match play basis. All en-
trants played an 18-hole qualiflca-
ton test today. The high School
players with the 80 best scores will
be paired up into a match-play
bracket. Match play will open to-
morrow morning and continue
through Thursday. The first four
rounds of match play, first, second,
quarter final and semi-final matches
will be 18 holes each, with a round
each morning and afternoon tomor
row and Wednesday, and then on
Thursday the final match will be
played over the 36-hole route.
Grade SchooIers to Vie
In addition to the high school
championship. a grade school cham
pionship will be staged. Grade school
boys play on the same basis as the
high schoolers, except that the num-
Der who make up the championship
fight depends upon the number Of
entries and all the matches are 10-
hole affairs.
The Indianapolis Times offers the
capital prize trophy to the winner
and a gold medal to the tournament
medalist today. In addition there
are many other prizes annually pre-
sented by golf pros. Already Neal
Mcintyre. pro at Highland, has post
ed beautiful No. l and No. irons !
to be used as prizes. George Sou
tar. pro at Broadmoor, offers fine
No. / iron; Dick Nelson, Meridian
Hills, beauty No. 7 maShie nlbllc;
Roy Smith of HillcreSt Hagen
model putter, and Bill Heinlein,
who knows how to appreciate tie
prizes as a former contestant, a
Bobby Jones clipper iron.
Prizes Are Plentiful
Russell Stonehouse, at Riverside,
offers his usual prize but wishes 10
await the windup and donate the
prizes necessary to complete the
prize list. Johnny Vaughn, Pleas
ant Run pro, Massie Miller of South
Grove and others have said: Count
me in"-so the usual galaxy of eX-
pensive and useful awards will be
handed out to the winners.
