Twenty minutes later the

jumper was leading by a length

go when he fell, breaking his leg
and had to be destroyed. Glen Boy

Even when AL Houghton, the
Silver Fox of Old Point Comfort,
was leading with a 36-hole score
of 142, to Cox l44, Dave never
Wavered. He came pretty close
to calling the winning score. too,
only Cox bettered his guess. When
dopeSters started predicting that
big Ed Oliver, of Wilmington, and
Houghton and Witty were going
to knock par for a loop during
the two days of play, Dave just
shook his head and muttered, "280
will win it," Cox knocked two
strokes off that score, but not one
single pro busted par in one single
round.
TWO EQUAL PAR
The closest the pros and the
four amateurs entered came to
trimming the tricky Washington
layout was the par 10 that AL
Houghton shot on the first day
and the 10 Cox shot on his last
round.

get a couple of tickets for the
Redskins game?"
From a competitive standpoint,
tomorrow'S game Shoul dbe one of
those good old fashioned conflicts
in which hide will be torn from
limb.
INTENSIFIES SITUATION
The situation was intensified
when the Redskins moved to
Washington and appeared on the
field weekly with a fellow in the
backfield named Sammy Baugh.
While Baugh will hardly start
tomorrow's game, he'll be in there
before the afternoon is over. In
the meantime pair of stalwarts,
Bill Hartman and Andy FarkaS,
strangers to the Giants, will carry
on.
New York has not particularly
improved its personnel since the
disappointing campaign of a year
ago, but they still have the inspir-
ing Tuffy LeemanS in their back
field. Leemans, who left his ap-
pendiX in Washington before he
reported to the Giants this fall, is
said to b eeven better than before
the operation.
SPEED ACES
LeemanS will be counterbal-
anced on the Washington team by
rookie ace, Andy Farkas, erst-
while University of Detroit star.
Both are speed personified, Lee
mans being the wiser and more
experienced. FarkaS is shifty and
is adept at finding new openings
when his path is blocked.
Before tomorrows game is far
advanced, the $4,000 standing,
STOPPING, craning, sitting spec
tators may expect to see a passing
duel between the Giants famed
Ed Danowski and Washington s
C celebrated d "Slingin' Sammy
Baugh.
Ed has completed Is tosses out
of 40 attempts for a total of 328
yards. Baugh out of the last two
games with injuries, has COM
pleted IL out o. 13 passes.
Max Krause, Washington vet
eran is at present the best ground
gamer of the local troop. He has
skipped over 206 yards in 81 times,
carrying the ball for an average
of 9.8 yards.
STARS IN AIR
Another to whom Washington
has taken more than a fancy in
his brief Sojourn here is Rookie
Bill Hartman. He has completed
18 out of 20 pitches for gains of
3l3 yards, being second to Danow-
ski in heaving the pigskin.
The Giants have been in Wash
lngton since Thursday, takig daily
practices at Griffith Stadium.
They have won one and lost two
games this season. WASHINGTON
has won two and tied one and
are very much in the race for the
Eastern honors as well as for the

It, with most of the city's course
mentors on tap, but the anna
teurs were so sadly in the mi
nority as to be practically non
existent. One reason might be
the fact that the District Golf
Association dumped the Open in
the laps of the pros early in the
fall season and with a complete
ly laissez-faire attitude, con-
trihuted very little moral sup
port to the Open buildup. It
strikes me that the Open should
be just as much their job as the
pros.
No one can say that the pro-
fessionals didn't get to work on
the tourney far in advance. In
fact so wrought up did they be-
come on the methods to be en-
ployed in arousing interest in
the fall Open that they had a
couple of internal Schisms which
took a week or so to iron out.
They staged pro-exhibitions,
proam events and whatnot
weekly to keep enthusiasm high.
