GOES TO SCHOOL,
FORFE|TS TITLE.
BY CHICK KENNY

heavy amount OF play this week,
what with the D. C. championship
now in full swing, and club cham
pionships listed at many of the
courses.
A brilliant field of performers
are now at Columbia in the midst
of the qualifying round. The
championship IS wide open as the
reiening titleholder, 17-year-old
lad Bobby Brownell, is vending
his way to Duke University to en-
roll as a freshman. So regardless
of what happens a new champ is
bound to be named following the
finals of the match play.
1t is hard to fathom who will
win this title this year, as score
or more of top flight tourney stars
hold equal chance of anneXlng the
crown. The names Of Harvey
johnson, the Georgetown Unlver'
sity ace, who will be playing his
home course. is given slight edge,
as are Willie Shea. the reignlng
Middle Atlantic champ; Volney
Burnett, Levi Yoder and Claude
Rippy, to mention a few.
according to information
cleaned from several of the play
ers who staged a practice round
yesterday over the Columbia
course. the green's are extremely
fast, which may prove trouble
some to many.
Just in the way Of prediction
or something. let's say that 10
will bag the medal. We are tax
ing the word of Freddy Mcleod:
the Columbia pro, who should
know his own course and some
thing about the way the boys will
react in the qualifying round.
Pairings have been made for the
first-round play in the KenWood
Golf and Country Club champion
ship which gets underway Satur.
day. Levi Yoder won the medal
last week and is slated to meet
Dewey Zirkin in the feature OF the
opening round.
Five flights are carded and the

Road course Sunday. Semifinals
