A Stroke Back of
Croonquist's 70
l. S. U. Take Long Lead
For Team Title Now
Held by Stanford
BY BILL KING,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

MANCHESTER, VT, June 25.-
One of the keenest battles for med
alist honors anywhere appeared in
the off1ng today as the las COM
petitors in the National Collegiate
Golf Championship, drawn from
more than 80 institutions, trained
their sights on the last l8 holes of
the qualifying competition on the
Ekwanok course.
Retiring President Neil Croonquist
of Minnesota paced the field yester-
day when, after being straight down
the middle on every fairway, he
wound up with a par 70. That
round gave him single stroke lead
over four rivals-Johnny Burke of
Georgetown. the 1888 champion:
Warren Berl of Stanford, last years
defeated finalist; Bill Cordingley of
Harvard and Bill Clark of Dart
mouth.
Play in Series of Showers.
Exactly So of the 145 starters
turned in cards of rs or better
after making their first tour of the
6,565-yard course, despite a series
of showers. ..
Frank Newell, the first entry from
the University of California at Los
Angeles to compete in this event;
Jack Selby of Princeton and Bert
Mcdowell of Louisiana State, who
was runnerup to Burke two years
ago. were only two strokes off the
early pacemaker.
Other low scorers included War;
rem Tansey of Michigan State, Henry
Castillo of Louisiana State and John
Emery of Michigan, all with 73's,
and Cary Middlecoff of Mississippi,
Ray Higgins of Georgetown, Tom
Leonard, jr, of Virginia, Tom Hoax
of Iowa State, Buck Luce of Texas
and George Sharpe of Louisiana
State, with 74s.
L. S. U. PAGES Teams.
Louisiana State took a long lead
In team scoring for the title won
last year by Stanford. The four
lowest L. S. U. scores totaled 294,
nine less than Princeton's. Other
low team scores were: Georgetown
305; Illinois, BOG; Duke, 307; Iowa
State, 308; Ohio State and Texas.
3l1 each. The team championship
is decided during the 36-hole quail
flying test, which also reduces the
field to "a for match play.

Second In the pro-am were Virgil
(Buck) Worsham and Ralph Bogart,
the kid pair from Chevy Chase and
Congressional, scoring 10. Worsham
tied with Bob Barnett, his boss at
Chevy Chase, for first money in the
pro sweeps at 72, inasmuch as
Houghton took the money in the
pro-am.
The pros, at meeting before
the golf tourney, decided to recom-
mend to the Middle Atlantic P. G. A.
the opinion of the local group that
the sectional qualifying rounds for
the national P. G. A. championship
be held at the Country Club of Vir-
ginia. A bid on behalf of the Rich
mond club was made several days
ago and probably will be accepted
by the sectional P. G. A. for tour
ney early in August.

First of the big time golf pros

sional and is well known around
Washington. He will be around town
until the Red Cross match and plans
to play in a pro-senior match at
Beaver Dam next Friday.
That Red Cross tournament is
going over big" said Penna, with
the same big grin that made him
one of the more popular pros around
Washington decade ago.

In Federal Golf
Tourney Play
Matches Due This Week
To Settle Title Fights
In All Sections

Everything depends on this week S
play in The Star-sponsored match
play golf tournament for Govern
ment employees. AS the 30 teams
from as many Federal agencies align
their forces for the final drive
toward section championships, there
isn't a single leader which can call
itself certain winner.
BY the end of the week winners
in all three sections of Glass A and
in both sections of Glass B will be
known. Section winners will play
off for the championships in Sep
tember.
Here is the way the tournament
stands entering the final few days
Of play:
In Section /, Glass A, Agriculture
tops the parade with 18 points won.
Federal Bureau of Investigation is
next with 151s and Justice is third
with Is. But tomorrow Agriculture
meets Social Security Board and
must take points to clinch the
victory. Justice meets Civil Service
Thursday.
A. and ID. Needs Points.
In Section Accounts and Depos-
its. the 1888 champion, is leading
with 18 points, with Farm Credit
next at 1872. The Accounts and De-
posits outfit looms as sure winners,
but in its last match it meets Fed
eral Housing, an outfit which was
good enough last yearFt reach the
final round. An upset here might be
troublesome for Accounts and De-
posits.
In Section 8 General Accounting
Office leads with 18 points. War
Department is next with is points.
General Accounting needed 31a
points to clinch the section victory
in its match today at Woodmont
against Interior, which happens to
be tough outfit. War meets Con-
gressional Library, comparatively
weak team. and may win all points.
AS the Glass A teams now stand
Accounts and Deposits is the only
outfit which looms as a certain
winner, and even it might be upset.
Glass b Races Tight.
The same situation exists in Glass
B. In Section l of this class Recon-
struction Finance Corp. leads with
1872 points and meets Army War
College. an outfit which hasn't
demonstrated outstanding strength
in the final match Friday. Inter
state Commerce Commission, close
on the heels of the leaders with
l612 points, meets Soil Conserva-
ton in the final match of the series
July l.
A three-way tie is possible in Sec
ton 2, Glass B, where Public Build
ings. with 1872 points, meets Rural
Electrification Administration with
1872 points. Patent Office, with Is
points, can sweep all c points with
Maritime Commission in the final
contest Friday.
The whole thing, and the way
it has worked out down to the final
matches in all sections, again

The story thus far: Lucy Granville s
engagement to Greg Hanson is secret
because the socially prominent Hansons
object to it. Greg does not admit it,
but obviously his familys objection is
due to the peculisrity of the Granvilles.

studious brother Guy live, intends TO
divorce his wife, Elizabeth and marry
the actress, Rita Star. After a scene

was mailing the letters as usual"
What letters?'
why Uncle Luke's mail, you
know. I told you how finicky he
was about the mall
Chalmers turned to Laval.
Il - 7 always mail the letters,
sir" Laval stammered. "Mr. Luke
was furious if they didn't make the
10 o'clock collection"
But Mr.. Granville was dead!"
Il guess I wasn't thinking"
Laval said meekly.
Emptied Waste Basket.
Il don't care about the letters
you mailed. What I'm getting at
is that the waste basket was as
clean as whistle. and if Mr..
Granville had done his mail, there
should have been something there,
torn envelopes papers - some
thing!"
"Oh, yes" Lucy exclaimed, almost
without thinking. Uncle Luke
threw away scads of letters-the
ones that didn't send any postage,
you know"
Il emptied it, if you must know"
Bertha said suddenly "Mr. Luke
was dead and / set about tidy;ng
up the house. That was why I
cleared up things in the study first.
I knew there'd be people in and
all"
But my good woman" Chalmers
groaned, this was murder-not just

his guests and acted frightful!"
"Bertha!" Lucy admonished. She
bit her lip as Chalmers gave her a
suspicious glance
Suddenly there was sharp knock
on the door of the study, and then
the door opened and Chalmers as
sistant, Tony, entered.
Chalmers stepped forward eager
ly. What did you find out, Tony
he asked, "about that Star woman?"
"She had a motive all right"
Tony said. "The fellow in the bar
of the hotel where she stays said
Luke Granville came into the bar
looking for her yesterday afternoon
about five and they had a row. He
overheard everything that was said.
Granville had come to tell her he
was through with her. First she
acted like she didn't know what
he was driving at, or what had put
him into such rage: He told her
Block had tricked her. She denied
knowing any one by the name of
Block. Anyway, he left, after max
ing it pretty clear she was all
washed up as far as he was con-
cerned."
Lucy Urges Truth.
Sandy Block looked extremely
uncomfortable as they all stared at
him. Lucy was thinking, $50 that
was what put Uncle Luke into such
vile humor for the dinner last
night with the Barkleys."
