Rock Creek Park is not going to
| enter a team in further matches
/ for the Bill Davis Trophy among
/ public links outfits this year In
stead the Rock Greek lads are or
ganizing a 12-man team for next
year, and will try to win the city
public links team championship.
I'D accept on behalf of our club
any challenge from any other outfit
| If it came from real team" says
Tommy Doerer, Rock Creek Park
manager. But I find our boys don't
go for 30-man teams. Well play a
small, strong team, but not a big
and unwieldy outfit. Besides, We
want only the best"
