Four washington women opposed an
equal number of Baltimoreans in the

Another day for compilation Of
entries for the metropolitan inter-
scholastic championship found Frank
Emmett, in charge of the tourney, ex-
pecting more than go youngsters to
turn in their names by nightfall. Boys
from IS schools within IS miles of the
Capital are eligible, but strangely
enough the Georgetown Prep golf
team won't enter a lad. The golf
season of the Little Hoyas has closed.
and even though the tourney will be
played at Garrett Park starting tomor-
row afternoon, Jackie Dettweiler and
his boys won't be in there pitching.
When the good Jesuit fathers say,
"Stop." they mean just that. and the
golf season at the prep school has
closed.
Ralph Bogart. Buddy Sharkey. Earl
Skinker, George Vass and Henry
Buscher look to be the lads to lick.
Gonzaga. which played one Of its
final matches today. is looking forward
to bid to the Eastern interscholastic
tourney at Greenwich, Conn, late in
June
Hoax Rifles Larkin.
Gene Larkin, professional at the
Woodmont Country Club, laughed to-
day over hoax some lad tried to put
over last night as an excited voice
called newspaper offices with a yarn
about a new course record of 64 at
Woodmont. "I'll straighten that out
today" Gene promised. as he started
on a still hunt for the boys who tried
to put over the fast one" The ex-
cited youngsters claimed that lad
named Guy Brewer, who probably
didn't know he was being taken for a
ride, shot a 5-under-par ga at Wood
mont last evening, to "shatter" the
course record of IS made few years
back by Tom Hudgins. They claimed
that Brewer. who couldn't be reached
for verification, shot the mines in 81
and 80, with flock of brides scat
tered in
Its all a hoax" said Gene "And
I'll give those boys lesson they won't
forget when I find out who did the
calling. Brewer isn't that kind Of
golfer. He might break 80 once in
while, but I was there until after 6
o'clock and he wasn't on the course.
He'd left, in fact. about 4 o'clock, and
didn't come back"
