Browneu, Marion Brown
Top D. C.. Golfers for '36

year was assured by her victories
in two major events and two club
championships. She holds the fol-
lowing 1888 championships: Mid
die Atlantic, District, Indian
Spring and Manor. Her supremacy
was so clearly defined that NB.C.
held it's annual tournament this
year in her honor.
And yet there were several sign
posts which did not point to a
clean sweep of the season for Miss
Brown. One of them was the per-
formance record of Helen Dett-
weller of Congressional.
Early in the year Miss Dettweller
won the Maryland State cham
pionship at the Elkridge Club in
Baltimore from a field which in
cluded all of the top-notchers in
the Middle Atlantic section.
In the women'S national event
at Wilmette, Ill, this year, follow
ing a strenuous broadcasting tour
on baseball, Miss Dettweiler lasted
until the second round, when she
was put out by Mrs. Frank Gold
thwaite, of Fort Worth, Texas,
and 3. In the national. Marion
Brown failed to qualify.
Still the best match player IN
the District, in spite of her defeat
on the twenty-first hole in the
semifinals of the Middle Atlantic
by Helen Dettweiler, Betty Meek
LEY, Indian Spring ace, was with
out local or sectional title fol
the first time in many years. But
in District minor events, Mrs
Meckley was second only to Heller
Dettweiler in low gross winnings
and in the final match against the
Philadelphia team at Chevy Chase
she was the mainstay Of the Wash
ington squad.
DAVY BEST SPORT
Four other local women players
who acquitted themselves well OF
the fairways this year were Mrs
iMyron Davy, of Congressional
Mrs. Montgomery Blair, Of Chev!
Chase; Mrs. George HusSey, o
Army, Navy, and Mrs. Arnold NC
Nit, of Congressional.
All the world knows by now how
Mrs. Davy helped Patty Berg Sc
new record by defeating an op
, ponent in the nationals by tn
white wash score of 10 and 8, bu
all the world doesn't know hoN
well Mrs. Davy took that defeat
: She's still taking lessons and prat
| ticing, undoubtedly for next year
: nationals.
Mrs. Montgomery Blair, play
!, ing for the first time in a loca
tournament following a. two-yea
s lay-off, took the Corby Cup a
t Columbia Country Club from
field of SO contenders, with S6-1
E -73. Mrs. George Hussey, G
!; Army, Navy, came in for two lo0
4 nets toward the end of the seaso
Il in the Presidents Plate at Coz
gressional and the N. B. c., tourne
at Manor.
u u Mrs. Arnold McNitt, of Col
~ gressional, established somethin
of a local record by taking so pG

COLON|ALS PREP
FOR TIGER TILT
ON FURMAN GRID
BY CHICK KENNY

GREENvILLE, S. c., Nov. 4
Arriving here today at 1918
O'Clock, the George Washington
University football team was
scheduled for a two-hour work
out on the Furman University
athletic field this afternoon in
preparation for its clash with the
Clemson Tigers tomorrow after
noon.
The Colonials received a con
siderable blow early this morning
while speeding to their deStina'
ton when it was revealed that
Guy Renzaglia, regular tackle OF
the team, would not be available
for the game.
The G. w. vet, who is playing
the best ball of his three-year
varsity career, sustained a badly
bruised shoulder in the Ole Miss
game last week, and has not re-
Sponded satisfactorily to treat
ments. He is with the team, but
will view the battle from the
two thread or three thread variety
sidelines.
SCHIERING REPLACES
Coach Bill Reinhart announced
that he will use Hal Schlerlng In
Renzaglia'S right tackle spot. This
and the quarterback position loom
as the only positions in the G. w.
lineup that may be changed from
last weeks starting array. Al
Quarterback Reinhart is expected
to start Tom Grady in place OF
Frank Merka.
Much interest is centered on
this game here between the Colo
malls and the Tigers. Beat q;
W." Grown the Colonials" and
similar banners are strewn about
town.
A BUS awaited the team when
It arrived here today, and the en-
tire party was whisked away to
the Hotel Poinsett, headquarters
for the ColonialS. A number OF
G. w. alumni were on hand when
the train pulled into the depot. A
crowd of 10000 is anticipated for
the game.
G. w. HOPES DIM
:. It is doubtful if George Wash
ington can beat this Clemson
team, which is regarded as per-
haps the finest in the institutions
history. The club is well-bal-
anced array and has ample re-
serve strength not only along the
line, but in the backfield as well.
It is Reinhart's hope that his
team can get the jump on Clem
son by shaking loose Vic Sampson
or shooting over a score by way
Of the pass route with Bob Now
aSkey on the receiving end.
In six games played to date only
undefeated and united Tennessee
has defeated the Tigers, and this
by a 20-7 score. In turn, Clem
son has defeated Presbyterian, Tu
lane, South Carolina and Wake
Forest, while being held to a =
tie with strong v. M. I. In every
game played to date, Clemson has
shown a powerful offensive.

Hitting the high spots OF the
1888 golfing season, two names
seem to stand out above the rest
in all local and sectional tourna-
ments affecting the District.
They have their rivals, some
much closer contenders for the
No. berth than others. but by
and large the best amateur golfer
in the District for 1888 was Bobby
Brownell, of Manor Country Club,
and the best feminine golfer, Miss
Marion Brown, also of Manor.
Bobby's star did not rise until
well along in the season. In June,
at the Pennington Country Club
at Charlottesville, he was elimi-
mated by Otto Greiner, Balti-
more's junior star, in the finals
of the Middle Atlantic amateur
championship, 4 and 3. Otto went
on to take the Maryland amateur
title.
In August, Bobby had his re.
venge. In field of 81 top-notch
youngsters playing at Indian
Spring, including Baltimore's
chief threat, Otto Greiner, the
Manor star won the Middle At.
lantic junior title with the bril-
liant score of 145 for the two
medal rounds.
Again, he headed the entire
Middle Atlantic field of qualifiers
for the national amateur cham
plonship at Congressional Country
Club that same month, shooting a
one-under-par 143 over the lengthy
River Road course.
At Oakmont he was not put out
until the second round, and only
after he had eliminated a Walker
Cup star, Reynolds Smith, Of
Texas, 2 and /.
RHODE ISLAND REDHEAD
Meanwhile another young
golfer, a redhead from Rhode
Island, going to Georgetown Uni
versity. had won the intercollegi,
ate golfing title at Louisville, KY
Still student at Georgetown, he
entered the District Amateur
championship at Congressional
and made a clean sweep of that
event, defeating Frank Goodwin
of the host club, 3 and 2, in a
> masterful final round. BY rights
this victory should have made him
supreme in the District golfine
field over Bobby BroWnell, but
Johnny Burke is from Providence
r. l., not the District, where hi
resides only during the schoo
term.
In the public links field, Andy
Oliveri topped all competitors fol
the District title and the privilege
of going to Cleveland for the ma
tional event. with the extremely
high score of 312.
Among the pros, Leo Walper
"the whistling hill-billy" from thu
East-West highway, took an earl!
lead by winning the Middle Allan
tic P. G.. A. title, with 294 for 7.

MEETINGS FOR
SOIL TESTING
ARE SCHEDULED
At Gladding's Garage, For PO-
cOmOke, Wednesday, Feb
ruary 2, At 1880 p. M.

A series of soil testing meetings
for lime requirements has been sched-
uled for Worcester County farmers
to be held at the following places next
week:
Berlin, Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2 P. M,
Municipal Building.
Newark, Tuesday, Feb. 1, 7:3O P.
M, Fire House.
Snow Hill, Wednesday, Feb. End,
$3.50 A. M, Co. Agents Office.
Stockton, Wednesday, Feb. End, 2
P. M, Fire House.
Pocomoke, Wednesday, Feb. End,
1880 P. M, Gladding's Garage.
1t is suggested that farmers take
their soil samples just as soon as pos
sible, drying them out so that they
are in condition for testing at the time
of the meeting. However, these sam
pies should not be heated.
The sample should be taken out
of the top six inches of soil and can
be taken easily with a spade. One
half to one pint of soil per sample is
ample for lime test.
Local growers are using this SER
vice more and more every year thru
this county. In many cases it means
the saving of considerable to the farm
ers when it is not necessary to buy
lime. On the other hand, where the
lime is needed, it is of great assis-
lance to the grower in getting his
maximum yield.
