PIon Apt to Be Adopted
At Meeting Of City
Group Next Week

Feminine golfers of Washington,
out of the headlines since their sea-
son ended late in october, will hold
the windup affair of the 1910 sched-
ule and a preview for 1941 next week,
when officers for next year will be
installed at the annual meeting at
Columbia Country Club. The meet
ing will be luncheon affair, sched-
uled for 1890 pm. December 5.
While the meeting itself is to be a
routine affair, punctuated by few
speeches and a gift presentation to
Mrs. Robert A. Lacey. retiring presi-
dent, succeeding weeks will be busy
ones for the linkswomen of the city.
Mrs. Walter L. Weible of Army Navy,
slated to become president, will call
the Executive Committee together
soon after the annual meeting for
down earth discussion of the 1941
season.
Record Season Ahead.
Like 1910. which was bigger than
1899, and 1899, which was bigger
than 1888, and so on back to the
days when an entry list of 40 was a
big one, the 1941 season again will
break all records for competition
and size Of entry lists.
First on the list of possible
changes to be made In the 194l
Journeys will be a revision in the
method of playing the important
team matches of the Women's Dis
trict Golf Association.
Mrs. Weible and many others favor
use of handicaps among second and
third teams, while keeping the first
team competition at scratch to pro-
vide the championship touch. In
previous years all matches have been
played at scratch, and some clubs
have found trouble getting out teams
of sufficient skill to keep them in
terested in the competition. when
team is getting licked consistently
you can't blame them for losing
interest" said Mrs. Weible.
Split Field Popular.
There is no doubt that the split
field method of playing the major
tournaments will be retained in
194l. First used in 1910, this scheme,
which split the field according to
handicaps, worked out well, reducing
congestion and permitting the
tournaments to finish early in the
afternoon.
The major schedule will be much
the same as last year, with the Dis
trict championship probably going
TO Manor The Maryland State d.ls
tourney is due to come to WASH

Irwin on Active List
Again as Injuries
Riddle Redskins
Young Is Out for Season.
With Several Others
In Uncertain Shape

Don Irwin, once one of the Ma
tional Football Leagues hardest
running backs, was back on the Red
skins active list today. eligible to
play next Sunday and In any sub
sequent playoff games. but two
other Indians definitely were out for
the season and the physical condi-
ton of five others was undeter-
mined.
Irwin has been assisting Coach
Ray Flaherty ever since he was put
on the inactive list at the start OF
the season and is thought to be In
excellent shape. He can be used
either as blocker or line plunger.
Bill Young, the most seriously in
iured of any Redskin this year, faces
a months or six weeks internment
at Emergency Hospital with badly
torn lateral ligaments in his right
knee. hurt when he was clipped
from behind in the final quarter OF
last Sundays game in New YORK.
The other Redskin who may be
through for the year is Bob Hof1-
man. the rookie blocking back from
Southern California who stepped
into a regular role when both Eo
Justice and Max Krause were in
iured early in the campaign.
Hoffman's cruciate igament IN his
right knee was torn by Giants
block and he definitely is out OF
SUNDAYS game, but the Redskins
physician said he stood a chance OF
being able to play thereafter.
Despite the fact that his right
hand, found to be broken, is in a
cast, End Bob McChessney insists
he'll play next Sunday land every
Sunday thereafter if Flaherty VIII
let me .'' can still block and run
interference if I can't catch many
passes" McChessney concludes.
The condition of four other Skins
is uncertain. Frank Filchock is not
expected to leave the hospital until
Thursday and probably won't play
against the Eagles here Sunday: Roy
Zimmerman and Sammy Baugh
both are troubled with bruised feet
and Erny Pinckert's knee isn't any
too sound. Although Baugh was
kicking in practice all last week, 1t
wasn't until after the Giant game
that it was revealed that his right
foot was sore-hence the assigning
of the punting duties to Jimmy
Johnston.
