Heavy Late Qualifying for
Southwest Predicted;
~. Champ Unable TO Play
McPherrin Urges
High Handicap
Golfers to Enter

A field of fewer Imperial Valley
golfers and more from out of the
state was predicted Monday for the
Southwestern golf tournament at
the Barbara Worth club after a
disappointing number of linksmen
turned in qualifying scores on the
first day of the tournament Sun
day
Less than a score played their
first rounds. indicating that the
play will DC heaviest Tuesday and
Wednesday. the headlines on quail
fying. Golfers from out of the
state clubs were expected to start
arriving Monday evening.
There appears to be mistaken
idea prevalent that this tournament
is for the lower handicap players
alone" Judge R. D. McPherrin, as
sociation president, said. This
isn't true. The tournament is just
as much for the higher handicap
pers and the prize list has been ar
ranged with that in mind
Qualifying will continue through
Wednesday. with players expecting
to 90 into the championship flight
playing their medal rounds that
day. Match play will start Thurs
day with the championship flight
playing two matches. All other
flights will play one match. Single
matches are slated for Friday in all
flights and on Saturday will fall
the Sc hole Semi-finalS in the cham
pionship. Sunday the 36 hole finals
will be played. Meanwhile, other
flights will be playing l8 hole
matches.
Most of the top notch valley golf
ers played practice rounds Sunday
warming up for the qualifying
round. Results were not too heart
ening for those who hoped to place
valley player in the finals. Dave
Taylor, valley champion, announced
that business would keep him out
of competition and few of the other
ace players were hitting the bali
well.
Dick Lott, former champion and
now a member of the Glendale
Junior college golf team, will COM
pete and Tom Crosbie, runner-up
in this years championship, was
given a good chance to go far.
Neither however, has reached the
peak Of his game. Ward McPherrin
appeared to be playing the best
golf day in and day out of any
Barbara Worth player

It's pity that valley trackmen
cannot enter more than three
events, two field and one track or
vice versa, because down in Cal
exico there is a boy who could
take places in at least five events,
possibly more.
His name is Armando Amador,
his friends call him Coon, and
he is the greatest all around ath-
lete that ever hit this valley. He
was all-valley end in football. was
the best basketball player in the
valley high school league and has
been pasting a baseball all over
the lot for the past two seasons at
CaleXico high.
Last year Amador ran the mile
in the valley track and field meet
and took fourth place. He ran a
fine race despite the fact he did
not train a single day for the event
Will Win Mile
This year, Amador predicts, he
will win the mile run in the valley
meet because there are no runners
in the valley who can travel the
distance in less than 4:58. He
ran the mile in slightly more than
minutes last year.
THE only trouble is" Amador
pointed out, II haven't any track
shoes. Last year I ran in baseball
shoes and that slowed me down
considerably when I tried to sprint
home in the back stretch"
The mile run, however. is not
the only event in which Amador
is capable of taking part. Last
week he attended the quadrangular
meet at Central high field and
tossed the shot Al feet, 4 inches. 1t
was the first time the CaleXico
boy had even tried to throw the
iron ball.
With practice Amador might
make Jim House of Imperial put
forth his best effort to win in the
county meet. House has tossed the
shot Al feet, three feet further
than the present record.
Coon" might also do all right
in the high jump. A week or so
ago he played baseball in Yuma
and wandered over to the high
jump pit where some of the Yuma
stars were practicing. When they
had moved the bar up to feet
inches and after all of Yumas
jumpers had faltered, Amador
leaped over the bar, baseball clothes
and all, without even putting forth
all of his energy.
Il think I could really do some
pretty good high jumping if I had
time TO practice" Amador said, AL
I have to jump over now are fences
in Calexico back yards"
Amador would also like to try
the broad jump. He has outleaped
all Of the neighborhood kids in
Calexico but he doesn't know just
how far he has jumped.
Count Amador In
So when you start figuring out
who is going TO win the county
track and field meet this year
when May rolls around, don't over
look Armando Amador, who will
probably enter the shot put, high
jump and mile run.
