THE schoolboys certainly are domi-
mating golf affairs around the
Capital these days, but II John Burke.
the Georgetown freshman, doesn't win
the Chevy Chase tournament we WON
der what Charlie Pettijohn will do for
eating money for the next few weeks
Charlie laid it ih big chunks today at
even money that Burke, winner of the
medal in the Chevy Chase affair, will
win the tournament, all of which
seems sort OF screwy but may turn
out to be q good guess by the Petit
john kid. All Burke has to do is to
win four matches to win the tourna-
ment, a hard enough assignment in
any affair, but particularly in such a
good field as that which has qualified
for the Taft and Sherman Trophies.
Burke looks Ike the best golfer in
the field. particularly on the strength
Of the II he sho: yesterday to win the
medal. But It's also a proven fact
that the best golfer doesn't always
win. And then there's something
about the medalist jinx, or has that
been completely disproved? All the
husky Burke kid did was to come to
the last hole on that tough Chevy
Chase course needing to tie bespec-
tacled Spencer Overton, the Maryland
champ, and to win. His second
shot ended about feet on the green
and the 40-foot putt for the bird never
wavered
1t went into the cup as II it
had eyes, and with 1t went the
medal.
Close observers say Overton, who
watched Burke stroke the putt, said
he was In his car headed for Baltimore
before the yell went up when the ball
dropped.
Burke clashed with Overton in the
opening round today, and If he licked
the Maryland champ he drew some
thing just as tough in either Bobby
Brownell or Volney Burnett.
A ND don't let any one tell you golt
isn't a screwy game when the
checks are down. Consider the case
Of Russell Hollebaugh. the portly goli
ball peddler, for example. Russ Is a
good journeyman golfer, you know
the kind, guy who can stroke the
ball pretty good, but one who never
wins tournaments or championships
Often a bridesmaid, but never q
bride, as it were. Well Russ went along
all right until he struck the short
tenth in that medal round. He hit the
green from the tee and then proceeded
to take four puts, which put him
right up with Bob Jones Augusta form
He finished with an 80, and landed In
a playod with four other guys. And in
that playo1 Russ flung No. iron
shot 3 teeet from the pin at the first
hole, where bird would win him
the single place open. Three feet to
putt and he'd taken four puts In q
single green not long before. And with
all the checks down he holed 1t, Just
as Burke had holed a 4O-footer shortly
before. The whole thing sounds nuts
when you consider all the angles. Four
puts on one green to practically blast
himself out of the tournament and
then 3-footer to hole to stay in.
In way, too, it kind of gave an old
timer thrill to see Harry Pitt get
back on his nTallet. Harry scored a
IA to tie for third place, and he met
Parker Nolan today Harry has thrice
won the tournament, the last time in
1881.

WILL TAKE STEPS
TOCURBPRACT|CE
Failure to Appear After Be.
ing Paired Is Unfair to
Other Players.
BY w. X. McCALLUM.

THOSE careless fellows who enter
a golf tournament, permit
their names to be drawn for
match play and then default
without notifying the committee in
charge are going TO be behind the
eight when the next Woodmont
Country Club tournament CONES up.
Leopold Freudberg, golf chairman at
the club where the tournament trail
around Washington started This year,
is red-hot against such players and
intends to bar 'em from future Waot;-
mont affairs
There was one default in the first
flight Of The recent tourney, and down
In the third flight there were a half
dozen. Each default kept some other
| competitor out OF the tourney.
Anxious to Please.
WE STAGE golf tournament for
olr members and our friends" ,"
Leo said today I'VE want it to be
a good affair and one OF good sports
manshio and good competition. Now
when we have flock of defaults scat
tered through the tournament we
don't like it, and the men who failed
to qualify don't like it.
1T makes us look bad when those
things happened, and 80 it won't hap
pen again at our club I intend to see
that some action Is taken barring those
men who defaulted this year, without
notifying us Of their reason. One
competitor showed up 10 minutes late
to play his match. Obviously we
couldn't let him start, and he
shouldn't have put his name in If he
couldn't appear on time.
I'VE don't intend to be unreasonable
about it in case of illness or business
affairs, but We also don't intend to be
the goat for lot Of Defaults"
Need for Action.
| T SEEMS to me that there is a spot
for the District Golf Association to
step in and make out a black list of
defaulters who let their names be
drawn for match play and then fail
to show Up the next day, thus keeping
out some fellow who really wants to
play.
1t wouldn't be a lot of trouble to
keep such list and very, very shortly
you'd find that there were no more
defaults in the first rounds Of golt
tournaments-without notification OF
reasonable excuse. Penalize guy
who defaults by keeping him out Of all
tournaments held within the associa-
ton territory and you'd, soon tame
the defaulters.
Big Tournaments Clash.
THE Baltimore Country Club tour
nament and the Hermitage Coun-
try Club invitation down at Richmond
are going to conflict this year. The
Baltimore club has set its tournament
dates for May 81, % and 20, the same
dates as those announced today fol
the Hermitage Club affair. Many
Washington amateurs are planning
the trip to Richmond and will pass ur
the Baltimore tourney.

| gressional champ, was licked in the
final round Of the Hermitage tourney

Duke Team Is Favored,

nUKE is the favored team by virtue
OF an undefeated season and their
25-point dual meet victory over North
Carolina, but in a meet of this kind,
where the points are mighty hard to
get due to heated individual competi-
ton, one team may be greatly hin
dered, another greatly helped.
The Tar Heels are very much in the
running-so much that the experts
are figuring the team battle to be the
closest In the 14-year history of the
affair.
Pasco and Guckeyson are the two
outstanding performers in the meet
The former, a slender and handsome
youngster who runs with such ease
that fans wonder how he gets to his
destination SO quickly, will be shoot
ing at the 100-yard dash record to put
in his memory book with the 220-dash
mark he now holds
He will also attempt to better his
22o mark and it is likely that Coach
Son Read of the Cadets will allow
Pasco to shoot" at one of the marks
IN tomorrow's preliminaries.
Evening star., 1937-05-13
Five Share Dash Mark,

THE l0o-yard record of ss was first
set in 1925 by Foster, star of
v. M. rs fine team Of that year. 1t
has been tied four times-by Hamm
Of Georgia Tech in 1928, by Wisner of
Virginia in 1881, by Lynn of Clemson
in 1888 and by Widmyer of Maryland
in 1895.
The 22o mark Of 21,l, set by Pasco in
the preliminaries of the 1886 meet,
broke . record Of 212 held jointly by
Hamm Of Tech and Brownlee of Duke.
~ Guckeyson, one OF the greatest ALL
around athletes in the history Of the
Southern Conference, may possibly
come out Of the annual event with a
total Of Is points, which would be the
f1rBt time that has ever been accom-
plished. Guckeyson pitches the jaw
elm over 200 feet, pushes the shot over
46 feet and hurls the discus over 1877
feet. To gather Is points his tough
est going probably will be in the shot.
He is rated favorite in the javelin.

.LEvINSKY AND
 DOYLE TO FIGHT
Washed-Up Heavyweights Top London Program
 Tomorrow Night

London, April 26-(UP)-Kingfish Levinsky, Chicago's eccentric her. ring handler, makes his pugilistic debut here tomorrow night in 12- round bout against Coroner Jack Doyle, better known in America as the "hirizontal Heavyweight"
 The 12-round battle is scheduled at 9 p. m, in Wembley arena un- der Marquis of Queensbury rules, but past performances of both indi- cate nothing gentlemanly about this scrap. Both are wild, two-fiSted slammers without the semblance of defense, ringcraft or boxing ability.
 The experts predict Londan'S bloodiest bout in years with Levin sky 2 ti l favorite and even money Trims errant lad will not last the route.
 The Levinsky-Doyle affair is at- tracting more attntion tehan any other bout on the card although Eddie Phillips is defending his Brit ish light heavyweight title against Jock McAvoy, middleweight cham pion of England. The third bout brings together Small Montana of San Francisco, former claimant to the worlds flyweight title, and Pat Palmer of London-10 rounds.
 Levinsky is expected to weigh in at about PIP, and Doyle 210.
