Reese Hair, the tall, angular gent
who won the club championship At
Washington few years ago, knows
the answer. Reese looped q high slice
off the fourth tee at the Virginia
course. The wind caught the ball and
it ended on the sixth green, so yards
of the line. He picked the ball of
the green. dropped it in the sixth fair
way and walloped his second shot
over the trees onto the green at the
fourth hole, 200.odd yards away, get
ting down in two puts for birdie.
Emulates Sarazen.
IT'S almost as much Of a stunt as
Gene Sarazen did at the same hole
10 years or 50 ago. but Gene not only
hit both greens. but bagged an eagle.
He knocked his second shot high over
the trees onto the fourth green and
ran down q 30-footer for the eagle s.,
a characteristic SaraAen flourish.
In that nine-hole round Hair
came close to accomplishing
what has been done only once
before around Washington.
Some years back Archie Clark
played nine holes at Congressional
in level par (36) without par hole
on his card. He bagged a flock of
brides and took 9 on a par 3 hole.
Hair had three brides and 81 for
the par IS first nine at Washington.
He had his only par hole on the ninth,
par 8 affair.
Warner Gray, one Of Roland Mac

ERHAPS they did not realize
- 1t. but some 1900 basket ball
fans witnessed something at
L Tech High School last night
that had not happened for nearly
two years when the George WASH
ington basket ball team had the
score tied on 1t In the second half
by q fighting Westminster five.
Not since that night in 1885. when
Davis-Elkins came from behind to
win. had any visiting team been found
on even terms with the Colonials In
the last 20 minutes Of q game In
Washington. but Westminster last
night had as good q chance as the
Colonials with less than eight min
utes TO play.
That G. w. eked out . 1880 tri-
umph-its closest margin of victory
in its last 23 home games-was due
to the accuracy Of Tom O'Brien and
Sophomore Bob Faris. who coolly pot
ted two short ones to break a 28-2S
deadlock. Hal Kiesel and Faris then
sewed up the decision with a pair Of
throws from the foul line.
Demo Bothers Coionials.
THE Colonials' close call was due To
two factors-their own failure to
click In anywhere near the manner
local fans had become accustomed to
know and their inability to stop Andy
Demo, who scored more points against
them than any other single opposing
player this year. The fast-stepping
Demo had a peculiar way Of charging
into the basket and propelling the ball
through with one hand that seven
times accounted for two points. His
one successful chance from the foul
line raised his total to IS points. one
more than Long Islands highest player
could score against G. W.
More than ever it now appears
likely that the Colonials will have the
hardest six days on their hands next
week. After facing Loyola of Chicago
here on Monday. George Washington
must face Westminster and Geneva in
return games. And, according to q
handful of Westminster rooters who
were on hand last night, they'll be
waiting for G. w. up at New Whining
