|HOYAS TROUNCE
ST. JOSEPHS At.
con GRESSIONAL

Georgetown University golf team
served formal notice on opposing
teams in the Eastern Intercollegi-
ate Golf League that opens at Con-
gressional Country Club, May 8
and Z, Of what to expect by hand
ing a 7-to-0 shellacking to the
indicated st. Joseph's College
team Of Philadelphia, yesterday at
Congressional.
The Hoya team, the greatest in
the history of the school, scored
lopside victories in all its matches
and was never in danger. Strange
as it may seem, the last man on
the team was yesterdays bright
est star.
Redheaded Johnny Burke, the
youngster who back in 1885 won
both the Rhode Island State anna
teur and open titles, bettered par
by two shots over the tough Con-
greSSional course, and would have
been even lower had he not missed
two short puts for brides. In
the qualifying tests for the team
he barely made the grade, al
though he is easily the best player
on the team.
In his match against Jack Nc
Gala, Burke won nine straight
holes and finished off his oppo-
nent on the eleventh green. Willie
Shea, District and Middle Atlantic
champion, was only shot in back
Of Burke in the individual scor-
ing, with brilliant subpar round
of II.
Then came Billy Dettweiler and
Harvey johnson with 74's and
Maury Nee with a IS. Shea and
Nee defeated Jack Burns and Ed
OMalley, of st. Joseph's, Z and
6, while Shea was trouncing Burns
individually, 7 and Z, and Nee
was winning from OMalley, s
and 3. ... ..
Dettweiler defeated Bill Mills,
5 and 3, and johnson duplicated
Burke's one-sided victory with a
9 and 8 win over Ed Filmyer. Dett-
weller and oJhnson won the best
ball, and 6.
The District scholastic golf
championship lead continues to
be held by Georgetown Prep after
yesterdays fifth straight league
victory over Western High, 61a to
~.
Western was indicated up to
this match and was in second
place in the league standings.
Second place now belongs to Con
zaga and Bethesda Chevy Chase,
with four victories and no losses
apiece.
Bethesda knocked off Roose-
welt, 6 to 3, and Gonzaga barely
eked out a 5-to-4 victory over Gen.
trail High. In the other matches,
st. Johns defeated Montgomery
Blair, 6 to 8; Wilson defeated Ana
costa, 8 to 0, and Dewitt handed

with IL points apiece, are the
leaders in the Women's District
Golf Association second team
championship, while Columbia and
Congressional stand at 14-all in
the race for the third team cham
pionship.
Out at Woodmont Country Club
yesterday, the host club team
took advantage Of its knowledge of
their home course and handed
out a onesided 71a-to-11s defeat
to Washington Golf and Country
Club. Army and Navy, the other
deadlocked second team topped
Manor Club, 5 to 4.
