BY WALTER McCALLUM.
You have to give credit to Frank
Emmett, formerly of Georgetown
Prep, for carrying through the plan
for the sixth interscholastic cham
pionShip which will come off this
week end. In the face of apathy
on the part of school officials, and
with the boys themselves burning
with desire to find out who is the
best golfer in the high schools in
and around Washington, Frank,
known generally as the father of
schoolboy golf" in this territory,
finally has put the thing over. For
long time 1t looked as if the op-
position would win. and that there
wouldn't be any schoolboy tourney.
But Frank kept working through
and with the active support of the
District Golf Association, the tourn-
ament now is assured 1t will
be played tomorrow, Saturday and
Sunday over the Kenwood, Manor
and Washington courses, and at the
end the boys will come up with a
worthy successor to Buddy Sharkey,
the former Gonzaga lad who won
so handily last year.
Emmett Taking Entries.
Emmett is taking entries at
Woodley 1921 and will accept them
up to noon tomorrow. An entry
fee of so cents will be charged,
which is little enough. The pro-
gram calls for an 18-hole qualify
ing round at Kenwood tomorrow,
with Is to qualify. First and Sec
ond round matches starting at 8
and HAS m. will be played Sat-
urday at Manor, with the semi
final and final matches carded for
Washington at and HAS Sunday.
And now the boys should get to-
gether and give Frank Emmett some
kind of testimonial. 1t was arranged
almost solely through him. Frank
has been a real friend of schoolboy
golf around this boys town. The
tourney is open to any high school
boy in Washington or within
radius of Is miles of the town.
which lets in David (Scotty) Ross,
the Rockville High boy who can
win. But George Vass of Western.
Ralph Bogart and Earle Skinker of
Wilson won't be any soft touches.

Plans we're in the making today at
Chevy Chase for an amateur-pro
event on June 13 to be played as
curtain-raiser to the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association championship. The
title tourney, biggest affair on the
amateur calendar around Washing
ton this year, will start on June IA,
and is open to members of all mem
ber clubs. All the clubs around
Washington, with the exception of
Argyle and Belle Haven, belong to
the association.
In the planned event, each pro
may have only one amateur partner,
who must be an entrant in the
tournament The entry fee will be
SIS per player. which should make
good sized purse for the winners.
Amateurs will play from scratch.
Entries for the amateur champion
ship of the association will close
Monday, June IL. with w. R. Nc
Callum, secretary of the association,
at Chevy Chase. Already most of
the prominent amateurs of this Sec
ton have entered the affair, in
which there will be at least four
flights.
