little golfing battle-ground. Army War
College inhabitants today set about
the business of restoration following

The hardy officers Of the War COL
lege asked for it-again. They turned
over their snappy layout to the golfing

Shirley Considine. who said he
worked for the Herald, was adjudged
the winner, thanks to close-mouthed
partners in his foursome and a gen.
erous handicap from Mr.. Herman,
who handed him l2-stroke handicap.
Considine shot an 81, so he said, and
claimed a net score of SO.
In second place came Maury Fitz-

from scratch, Fitzgerald bagged q 10.
