By WALTER McCALLUM.

The golfers in the big Depart
ment of Agriculture are cultivating
lot of respect these days for tall
Maurice Cooper, the man who led
the Aggies links team to second place
in the match play championship
tourney sponsored by The Star.
Maurice is a fighting sort OF
golfer, who gets better as the
going wakes tougher. He not only
is the Argyle Country Club cham
pion, but also he holds today the
Department of Agriculture cham
pionship.
Cooper won the title at Indian
Spring yesterday with a card OF
76-52-158, topping by three strokes
the 80-Sl-l6l turned in by the
veteran Wilbur Seay. A few days
ago Cooper won the Argyle title,
downing hapless Walter Lephew by
a big margin. They've known about
Cooper for a year or two around
that club, but the golfers of the
town, in the main, do not know
much about this serious-faced Gov
eminent employe. If he played a lot
of tournament golf they'd know
more, for Cooper has the kind Of
fighting heart needed for winning
golf.
Cooper Strong Finisher.
In the final round of The Star
match play tourney, fighting hard
against a strong Accounts and De-
posits team. Cooper holed a birdie
3 on the 18th at Kenwood. Then
from the back of the green at the
18th he Clipped in for deuce. He
bagged the only on the long
18th to give the team of Cooper and
Seay an even break against Johnny
Miller and Jack Palmer. That sort
Of golf wins tournaments.
Around the department over
which a potential Vice President Of
the United States presides they are
saving that Maurice Cooper has a
lot of golf in him, and that the boys
he led into second place in The
Star tourney also know what golf
is all about. They finished the
round robin tourney with total Of
6 points, against 7l5 for Accounts
and Deposits. the winners. General
Accounting Office was third with Az
points.
Now Chuck Redick, the tourna-
ment director, is figuring out plan
to get together a group of team
participants for the presentation
ceremonies of the trophies to be
awarded by The Star. For two
years they've held dinner to mark
the end of the tourney. This year
Redick thinks the dinner should be
passed up apparently the boys
didn't want it, judged by the turn
out at the last one" he said. 80
we'll pass il up this year.
Thomson at Army Navy Today.
Handsome Jimmy Thomson, the
slugging bambino Of golf, was to
wind up a brief stay in the Capital
today with an exhibition match at
the Army Navy Country Club.
