AssoClabco FIeSS opoftS WHICH,
NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-After
watching the scores roll in from
the % sectional qualifying rounds
for the National Amateur cham
pionship, it is possible to under
stand Bud Wards threat to round
up team of amateur golfers and
lick the pros Ryder Cup team.
Not all the Nations best amateur
golfers were competing yesterday
when more than 700 players fired
two rounds apiece in hopes of win
ming one of the 140 places in the
Amateur at New York's Winged
Foot Club September 9. Ten of
them, in fact. drew automatic ex-
emption because they had won the
title in previous years. Still 1t
would take lot sharpshooting to
beat the kind Of golf yesterdays
leaders played.
Three Turn in 141s.
The top men in three districts
turned in 36-hole scores of 141 and
four other players were only a stroke
behind. There were a couple of 68s
and SOS recorded on individual
rounds and scores in the low 70s
were quite common.
Practically all the nationally IA
nous players who were required to
play through the sectional tests
were steady enough to qualify. The
most notable failure was Charley
Yates, 1888 British Amateur cham
pion and Walker Cup star. He shot
rounds of 77-72-149 at Atlanta
and took only the first alternate's
berth, three strokes away from the
sectional limit.
Among others who failed to quail
ify were Tommy Taller, Jack Mum
ger and Don Schumacher, who ran
up against big and fast fields in
their districts. But such as Ray
Billows, 1887 and 1889 runner-up;
Boo Sweeny, former British anna
teur champion, and Bob Clark, the
public links champion. all qualified
handily.
Makes Grade with 162.
The leading scorers we're Bobby
Dunkelberger of High Point, NJ c.;
Jack Shields of Tulsa, and Albert
(Scotty) Campbell of Seattle, who
shot the 14ls. The worst pair of
successful rounds was turned in at
Minneapolis, where Don Peddie
managed to qualify with 82-80-l62.
Automatically exempted were for
mer Champions Marvin BUD
Ward. Willie Turnesa, Johnny
Goodman, Johnny Fischer. George
Dunlap, Jess Sweetser. Francis Oui-
NETT, Max Marston, Jesse Guilford
and Chick Evans.
