Many Good Young Golfers.

THIS years title tourney should be
= one of the best of the lengthy
series that started back in 1914 for
the De Sibour- Reyburn Trophy. There
are more good youngsters around
than in many years past. competition
is getting better, the scoring Is i'm
proving and golf as whole Is I'M
proving in caliber around WASH
ington.
If you don't believe it. cast an eye
over the scoring at Columbia in the
sectional tests last week, where the
general scoring average was much
lower than in many of the sectors
throughout the land. And Columbia
is a tough golf course, by any yard
stick.
Peacock already has shown that he
can play the Manor course. He holds
the unofficial amateur record for the
layout, made in 1884, when he banged
the ball around the par 10 course in
81 whacks. Par then was II, and the
course hasn't been changed much
since.
But the caliber of opposition has
changed since last year. A year ago
Billy Shea and Bobby Brownell hadn't
developed to the point where they
could seriously challenge the suprem-
acy of the topliners. such as Peacock,
Yoder and a few others. Today these
kids are plenty good, and along with
Billy Dettweiler, the youngsters may
cause an upset or two in the coming
District title tourney.

PEACOCK CHOICE

A MATEUR golf swings back into

District amateur championship
scheduled for the wooded reaches OF
the Manor Club next Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday.
Out near Norbeck, Md, where
Roger Peacock will defend the Simon
pure crown he won at Washington
last year for the second time, select
field of amateurs will gather FRIDAY
to play in the 18-hole medal round
to determine the 16 who will play-off
at match play for the title.
Back on the scoring streak he en-
toyed at this time last year, Peacock
will be a favorite to win again-the
outstanding player in a field which
probably will number about SO anna
teurs-but the 24-year-old star from
Congressional will have no royal road
to victory in the title joust.
Upsets occur in golf tournaments,
and while Peacock will be the un-
doubted favorite, some red-hot kid
may start banging them in from all
corners of the green and bump him
off.

Pine Valley Trying Course.

WINDING and angling through a
w pine forest between the Tucka-
hoe and Delaware Rivers 16 miles
from Philadelphia, Pine Valley has
been called the hardest course in
America" It was not planned for
the average golfer, but was designed
as a monument to the game as the
game should be played. Every shot
must be hit to a spot.
The course Is laid In sandy soil.
Great expanses of this stretch from
tee to fairway. Drives must carry
over the sand to the fairway. Then
the fairway ends and another stretch
Of sand forms a hazard for the sec
ond shot. The championship course
Is 6,703 yards long and is par 70.
Some critics have pointed out that
Pine Valley unfairly favors the
Americans. who almost always pitch
their shots TO the greens. The
Britons, masters Of the pitch and run
will have no opportunity to use the
shot here. Capt. Tweddell decries
this theory.

among the most primitive of living
things. Great masses OF them COM
pose the green slime on stagnant
water. These tubes contained, be-
sides the algae, only tap water and
such single-celled organisms as are
always found in water.
He weighed these tubes. Then he
prepared other sealed tubes contain
ing only water, which he used as con-
trolls. The weights of the two sets of
tubes balanced exactly. All we're
tightly sealed. Consequently the
weights should have continued ex-
actly the same, regardless Of what
ever chemical and biological reac-

forms of matter might change but
since nothing could be added to the
whole, the total mass could not
change. Mass cannot be produced

them again. The tubes containing

Where did it come from? Only one
