WOOD, BURKE WIN

Take $4,000 international
Event With 3-2 Win Over
Metz And LaffOOn
BY r ROLLINS

CORAL GABLES, Fla, March 9.
-R-Craig Wood and Billy Burke,
who gave par a 38-stroke drubbing
through 1874 holes, won the IS, 0cO
international four-ball golf tourna.
ment today with a 3 and 2 victory
over Dick Metz and KY Laffoon.
$1,000 Apiece
Conceded NO better than a FOL
chance before the tournament be-
gan, Burke and Wood teamed per-
fectly to win $1,000 each. The run
ners-up earned $500 apiece.
From the time Wood dropped a
20-foot putt on the fourth hole until
Burke sent a 2%5-footer curling into
the 31st cup, Metz and Laffoon
never really threatened today. They
were never in front as Burke and
Wood took a two.hole lead in the
morning and gave their rivals few
opportunities the rest of the way.
Hole after hole Wood and Burke
fired their approach shots to the
greens and shot for brides while
Metz and Laffoon struggled for
halves. 1t was tense and on the
whole u~ninspiring golf, with only
seven of today's "a holes won Or
lost. The Wood-Burke combinations
steadiness decided the match.
The very first hole was a harding
er of what was to come. Wood nail
ed his approach dead to the pin for
an easy birdie four and Metz had
to chip in from 80 feet to get a half.
Wood rammed home a 20-foot putt
to win the fourth. Metz sank a 15-
footer to take the eighth, and the
match stated even to the 18th.

Cub got its bath, a student
confided to us that after a

he was afraid the Cub would
be the same way, SO he

SHOW TO HAVE ATTRACTIVE RING

An idea for making high school baseball go like a
house afire here this year was advanced during the past
week by as ardent a baseball fan as there is in the city Of
Wilmington and we feel it is worth passing along for
action.
Last year the high school squad looked pretty ragged
-. not so much in its play as in its uniforms. The equip
ment was in terrible shape and there were no funds with
which to purchase better.
This year, the fan suggests, an idea which proved
feasible in Raleigh should be tried. There no less than
1000 season tickets were sold at a buck apiece before the
season opened, giving the school $1,000 with which to
give the team the equipment it needed.
This, the fan points out, could easily be done in Will
mington. The city has long been known as one of the best
baseball cities in the south and there are certainly 1000
fans in the city who will give a buck to see the boys
play this spring.
The idea, we understand, has been suggested to Bob
Black, director of athletics at the high school, to H. M.
Roland, superintendent Of schools, and to one or more
members of the school board, all of whom are reported
to favor it.
So now, all we are waiting for is some action. Who
will start the ball rolling?

ALL QUIET

All is quiet in the semi-pro baseball field here this
season and fans are beginning to wonder if the Tide Water
loop will function again this spring. Plans had been made
been no definite action taken. Work is running around
among the fans that Bert Kite, president Of the loop and
head of the Wilmington Pirates, is making plans to bring
the University of North Carolina team here for the open
inc game which the Pirates will play at Legion field

Visitors: Few visitors landed at
the local field last week. The Coast
Guard Grammar came in several
times during the week to gas up
while on neutrality patrol. In
winter that's a cold job, they tell
us. Horace Barnes, Lumberton air.
port manager, landed here in a
Luscombe Thursday. That day a
large Army bomber came over and
circled the field, but we got fooled
when it disappeared to the south
without even so much as lowering
the landing gear.

Aero Chatter

March winds prevented the mode
airn1ane meet at the airport yes
terday, much to the disappolnt-
ment of the many model builders
and fans that gathered for the
event. Quite a few really nice
models made their appearance and
we had hopes of seeing some rec
ords broken, but the wind blew
on. One attempt was made to fly
one of them, only to end in a
crash after a flight of about five
seconds, when the office was turn
ed into a temporary workshop, and
all damage repaired. 1t is planned
to hold the meet at the airport
next Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock if the gales of March will
turn lamb instead of lion. One
model made quite a few flights

semble model that n of the p1-

when we tried to launch it with a
II foot rubber band and the wings
left it on the take-off. The person
at the other end of the band got
a scare when the fuselage and tail
assembly did verticals around his
head but the remains of the wings
we're replaced and We flew a
clipped-wing job around the hangar.
One of the students shot landings
in the Cub, and after a rather
rough landing the instructor said,
Take that model and go in a
corner of the hangar till you learn
how, then We'll try it again!" That
ought to help model sales!
Quite a bit of interest has
been shown in the model club
with about 80 boys register
ing. 1t is hoped that a club
room may be secured, and
classes in construction and de-
sign started. Members hope to
stage meets every month, at
which three trophies will be
presented to winners. The tro-
phys are the Wilmington Aero
Club Cup, awarded winners
in the Junior Division, ages
up to 16; the John Anderson
Cup, awarded winners in the
Senior Division, ages from 16
to 21; the Pickard Medalia,
awarded winners in the Open
Division, ages ver Fl; and
the Pickard Trophy, to be
awarded to the person whose
model has the longest flight
average. After looking at the
trophys, we thought of build
ing models too! Plans are be-
ing made to hold meets with
model clubs in other cities.
