and when the golf ball simply
doesn't fly very far, that par
wrecking card of 78 yesterday is one
Of the finest Helen has submitted in
tournament this year. admitting
that the blond girl friend has played
lot of fine golf this year. Further
more anyone-man or woman-who
makes a score of 78 over that test
ing course at Army Navy, has done
creditable piece Of golf, and when
woman shoots that course in 78
it's tops. That's why the women
around town are talking about
nothing else today but Helen Dett-
Weiiers score.
Now Helen isn't blase about her
course record breaking propensities
There isn't a more re-
freshingly unsophisticated gal
among the feminine golfers Of
the town than this same
Helen Dettweiler.
She thinks golf-and scoring--is
such grand fun that to her The
playing of the game and not break
ing records remains the big thrill
Even the playing of a game Of golf
without coming near course record
has a big kick for Helen. You'd
kinda think otherwise, considering
the past three or four years. when
Helen has come fairly close to steal
ing the show in majority of the
feminine golf affairs. But she re-
mains the unspoiled and not-a-bit
blase girl golfer. For which we
bless her and hope she stays that
way.
Breaks Three Records.
Reaching back into the dim and
even-now dusty record department.
we find that Helen's latest course
record breaking stunt gives her
three competitive course records this
year, all made in medal play and
all under competitive conditions. In
addition to her win of a man sized
turkey for winning the gross award
in that delightful tournament staged
at Army Navy by the capable women
of the service club, headed by Mrs.
George F.. HuSsey. Helen has shat
tered the course record at Elkridge,
with a II. in the Maryland state
tourney; and at the Rodgers Forge
course, also in Baltimore, with a
medal-winning 10.
All these scores were shot
under medal play conditions,
which are at least two shots
round tougher than the match
play game.
Give her medal play tourna-
ment over 70 holes. spaced at about
one round day, and Helen would
be tops anywhere in this territory.
She is, as medal play golfer, this
year. Here Is her latest record
breaking card:
Out -- SAB 545 444-38
In --- 553 GAS 543-4O-78
She wound up the round by driv-
ing the green at the 18th, which
happens to be a mere matter of
200 yards from the tee, and nearly

The gals really wound up the sea-
son in quite a blaze of prizes, and
each winner. as one girl friend said,
got the bird" as she toted of a
plump gobbler for a pre-Thanksgiv-

figure out that Army-Navy put on
quite q show.
