q flare-up as to where the matches
will be staged is q birdie Of q diff
ferent color. The first match OF
the slate is listed for Saturday with
Central playing Tech and Roose-
welt meeting Western, but what
course will be used Is problemat-
ical at this time.
Private schools supporting golf
teams in the District as well as
other schools in the neighboring
territory have been unable to draw
UP their schedules because Of the
holdup Of thu slate. And with the
school year rapidly drawing to
close, 1t appears as though abbre.
waited states will be the offing
for scholastic devotees.
Time Not Suitable
The reason for the delay in
publishing the inter.high schedule
lies in the fact that arrangements
cannot be made for courses, at
suitable time. According to inform
alton received, James A. Cos
grove, president Of the District of
Columbia Golf Association, is I'M
able to arrange with Birch Z.
Bayh, physical education direc'
tor Of the District high schools,
the time element relative to these
schoolboy matches.
The schedule as drawn up calls
for many meetings Saturday, but
according to Cosgrove the
matches must be played earlier
in the day ON week days, when
the courses are not so congested.
This cannot be done, Bayh
points out, as the youngsters
would cut into classroom work.
The athletics director also said
that football, basketball and base
ball games are played after school
and on Saturday, and in order
for o golf schedule to be worked
out satisfactorily from an AGA
demic point Of view, time allotted
must not conflict accordingly.
Whether or not the differences
will be ironed out within the week
remains to be seen.
Another Possibility
There is still the possibility
that the matches will be staged
at Rock Creek and East Potomac.
and as these courses are operated
by the District Of Columbia
through concession, 1t is believed
that such. a movement will take
place.
Five high schools will make up
the membership of the inter.high
golf loop the coming season. They
are Roosevelt, Central, Western
Tech and Wilson. The school not
to be represented in play this sea-
son is Eastern.
The defending champion is
Roosevelt.
