Plans were in the making today by
officers of the Federal Golf Associ-
alton for the windup of the 1899
series of matches between Uncle
Sans employees and the presenta-
ton OF the trophies won by the sue
cessful teams in the tournament
sponsored by The Star.
AS Joe Balestri, Bob Elan, Bill
Lawrence and Al Schneider returned
to their jobs at the Government
Printing Office to receive the back
pats that come the way of winners,
Tournament Director Chuck Redick
and his committee moved to arrange
the details of a dinner, probably to
be held at one of the country clubs
around town the last week in Oc-
tober.
And while the boys mulled over
the way G. P. O. won the title on
the last putt on the final green at
Indian Spring, they talked of a
shorter series next year. with pos
sibly six teams in each of three
divisions. This years matches DEM
onstrated beyond doubt that even
though all departments and agencies
should be represented, the links class
isn't present in all of them, and
that toward the end Of the series
some of the teams have little chance.
Chuch Redick is an ace handicap
per, as he demonstrated in arrang-
ing the 1899 matches, which couldn't
foretell winner until the final putt,
but he can't produce 80 teams with
a chance to win. S6a shorter series
with fewer teams is more than likely
next year. Instead of stretching out
for five months, the tourney, accord
ing to Redick, should end in two
months.
Two Journeys on Today.
Two major tournaments were on
today at a brace of widely separated
clubs, as Marion Brown, the Manor
miss, started the defense of her
Middle Atlantic title at Washington
and most of our better amateur
pro duos started at Indian Spring in
the qualifying round to determine
16 teams which will open at match
play tomorrow in the Grosner match
play amateur-pro tourney. Marion
will have stern opposition at Wash
ington this year, for the field hap
pens to be one of the best ever
gathered for the Mid-Atlantic.
And at Indian Spring everything
points to one of COLTS best shows.
I wonder if any of the crack anna
teur-pro combines can put together
a better ball as good as the 81
cracked out over the same course a
couple of years back by Roger Pea

a busy day sightseeing and meeting
national celebrities today. The Kan

the barometers dropping like a
wounded duck and there's a big blow
ahead.
Catholic Universitys game with
Detroit at Brookland is the lone COL
legiate attraction on this weeks pig
skin calendar here. Georgetown,
George Washington and Maryland
hit the road. and at least two of
them are ploughing into stormy
weather. We mean Georgetown,

vile. George Washington is even
money against Butler, and Catholic
University is going to surprise by
knocking off Detroits hot outfit, but
as for the other tWo-Well, we hope
we're bum prognosticators.
The Terrapins surprisingly were
impotent against Western Maryland
in winning by only 1910, although,
giving the Terrors their due, they
were a grossly underrated foe. Be-
tween the 20-yard stripes Frank
Dobson's men piled up sizable gains,
but within striking distance of the
goal-line their offense wilted like a
lettuce leaf. The Terps had no
climax runner, no ball-carrier who
could convert the hard, driving work
accomplished in midfield into tan
gible results, and it almost proved
disastrous.
Terps Falter Near Goal.
Pershing Mondorff did get away
once for a 19-yard run and touch
down, but the times Maryland vas
checked within hailing distance of
pay dirt overbalanced this one scor-
ing jaunt. Western Maryland
brought its opponent to a grinding
halt on the and 81 yard lines,
forcing Mondorff to attempt field
goals, and several other times broke
up marches at the 30-yard stripe
with bristling brand of defensive
play. No, Maryland didn't lock too
good from an offensive viewpoint,
and it's doubtful if it will show
enough punch to knock off the Muir
raymen of Charlottesville.
Virginia's defense was akin to
Western Marylands. Navy consist
emily penetrated Cavalier territory,
but couldn't muster a big scoring
punch. It's hard to laugh off two
touchdowns, but the tickle finger of
Dame Fortune manipulated the
strings on three touchdoWns-and
both of Navy's fell into that cate
CORY, as it won 14-12. Virginia has
a powerful, deceptive running and
aerial attack, a stout defense, and
an abundance of reserves. It's a
combination Maryland hardly can
hope to beat.
Syracuse in Dangerous Mood.
With two successive setbackS under
its hide Syracuse will be in no mood
conducive to Georgetown victory,
and if Jack Hagerty can get his
Hoyas over this formidable barrier
it will be minor miracle. With the
exception of Lou Ghecas, who top
ped off brilliant afternoons work
with an 85-yard punt return for a
touchdown, Georgetown's backs were
something less than impressive as
