this smallness by the rapidity OF its

FIGURE TO QUALIFY
IN NATIONAL GOLF
Appear Far Ahead of Gipe
and Burton in Quest of
National Crown.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

DH W. h. MCSALLSM.
~ NE week from today four pub
lie links stars from Wash
ington will land in San
~ Francisco to prepare for the
sixteenth national public links cham
pionship Of the United States Golf
Association, starting August over ths
Harding Memorial course. What will
they do?
The four are Claude Rippy, public
links champion of Washington for the
last three years; Andrew Oliveri, a
stocky, sturdy lad of italian extrac-
tion; Bobby Burton, a Navy Yard
mechanic and frequent qualifer for
the national, and James r. Gipe, a
Navy employe who will be making his
first trip to the big championship.
Oliveri Presses Rippy.
ON THE record, Rippy figures to be
the big shot of the local entrants.
Runner-up for the national title last
year. top man of the Washington
public links boys over lengthy
stretch, Rippy figures to be one OF
the feared competitors in the ma
tional tournament. But this year
hasn't proven that he is so far in
front Of Oliveri, a lad who has come
along fast over the last two years
He licked Oliveri by a single shot
in the 72-hole qualifying test with
score Of 284, against 235 by Oliver.
There's nothing very conclusive about
one-shot licking over 72-hole
stretch. But this pair appears 10 be
way out in front of the other two
Burton and Gipe. Rippy and Oliveri
should qualify for the championship
and may go well. But the public
links championship is a tough spot
for any clubsu1nger with title as
pirations. These boys who came ur
the hard way. on the public fee
courses. are no siSsies in action. They
go fast from the opening tee shot
