Selection Of June and 4 for
the Walker Cup match means
that Americas top amateurs
won't be around for the National
Open at Denver.
They wouldn't figure in the winning
Of the title anyhow, but there's always
the possibility that an amateur may
slip in with a good round or two.
On that Curtis Cup match there's
Washington gal who would give
lot to get on the American team.
The gal is Helen Dettweiler. holder
of the District championship, and
while just now she's little more
than an outside possibility for the
team, she may win couple of tour
naments and do so we'll during the
coming winter and spring that the
team selectors will put her on the
group.
For three years, ever since the
Curtis Cup matches at Chevy
Chase in 1884, HeIen's main
ambition has been to play in
the international matches.
Realizing that the only way to win
a place on the team is to get it the
hard way-by winning tournaments
Helen is working on her game at Au-
gusta with that one thought in mind,
to win spot on the Curtis Cup team.
Despite her victories in the District
and Maryland championships, Helen
still is little shy of the competitive
kick needed for Curtis Cup play. But
she isn't far from it. She hasn't done
much in the national, but she did
pretty we'll along the winter circuit
last year. If she can win a couple
of important victories during the next
six months she can also win spot
on the Curtis Cup team. It's the one
big ambition of her life, and Helen
has plenty of determination; and also
a lot of golf at times.
