Lux Golf League
STANDING
NOTES

The end of the third week found Drufa- -Gowen all alone in first D ace with three wins and no loss es. Their win last week was the result of an exceptionally good round by Diamond "Dick" who came in with a 46. The leaders had to be on their toes every moment be- cause F. Lux and Cahill were also on their game, each registering 8 "hirdie"-F. Lux on the 17th and Cahill on the 14th.
 Rudy Kuester kept his word and won his match seeing his partner was away on his vacation.
 Art Wunch would like to have someone else play the IS, IS and 18th holes after ssast week.
 Hugo DiCorpo is getting back into the groove and If he continues to show the improvement that was evident last week, he and Slason will make 1t tough for the rest of the league.
 To prove that a team cannot win if one of its members is absent, all one has to do is to look at last weeks results. Reid, Book and Kreger were absent and their teams lost their matches.
 Be sure to show up if you. want to finish in the money.
 The following were in the 70 Club last week:

them the cause for complete rup-
ture involving open hostilities.
The underlying reason for this
partial mutual forbearance up to
now is that neither London nor
Vichy wanted to fight each other.
Despite the efforts Of German par
tiSans like Laval, Marshal Petain has
avoided throwing in his lot COM
pletely with the Axis, and London
has correspondingly refrained from
extreme action that might drive
Petain and his moderate supporters
to desperation. Such Frenchmen un-
doubtedly are Influenced in their
present policy of collaboration" with
the Reich by the hopelessness of at
tempted resistance and also by the
fear that Germany will retain con-
troll over the continent of Europe
even though complete Axis victory
can be prevented by Britain and
America. So long as those stubborn
facts and future uncertainties per-
sist in their minds, they hope to
continue to act along present lines.
But London's impatience over the
Vichy attitude has been growing
daily. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, to learn that more stringent
blockade measures are to be taken
against French shipping.
