CREEK TROUBLE
DUBOIS RUNNERUP In
BENSON SHORT STOP

Pressed to twelve holes against
st. Clouds Bill Rau in one of the
best matches Of the day, Pat Du-
Bots wound up as runnerup in the
championship flight against Ben
sons ace Roy Gilbertson, as Andy
Mayer won the second flight and
five Sank Centre golfers competed
Sunday in the Benson Clubs short
stop event. A field of ninety golf
ers was on the entry list.
Dubois with a 80 ended two and
one against Gilbertson, the cham
pion. Gilbertson, who saw service
here year ago, began springing
to the fore in central Minnesota
golf a year ago, is apparently on
his stride at the opening.
Eliminating Ralph Cheseman,
Dubois was two down and four
to go against Rau in his sec
Ond round. He birdied three
straight holes but Rau's single
birdie ended the nine all even.
They kept the race for two
more holes each with pars, un-
til on the twelfth Pat sunk q
30-foot putt for q birdie and
the match.
In his third match he eliminat-
ed Babe Veum, Dawson, medalist
for the tournament. Dave Caugh-
rem got into the semi-finals of the
championship flight and was elimi-
mated by the champion.
Creek trouble was Harry
Hamilton's Waterloo. On three
crossings on his first round he
lost seven balls for which the
three he won as consolation
winner I'm the fourth round
was scant repayment.
Hamilton won consolation in the
fourth beating out Sank Centres
Russ Shulze. But to Andy Mayer,
Country Club prexy, goes the lone
local distinction for winning his
flight. He bobbed up on top as
flight winner in the second.

SAFETY MARKS
BEACH SETUP

With no loss of life in the four
years of the summer recreation
program, safety will be pushed this
year with every precaution taken,
it was announced this week as the
fifth annual beach supervision pro-
gram was ready to get under way.
1t Is not, it was pointed out
by director f. ID. Harvey, that
situations have not arisen that
could easily become water cas-
ualties. But the incidents"
have been kept strictly out of
the accident" column.
There have been several instances
in swimming where youngsters
might have been another drowning
statistic, he said, but increased
knowledge among younger swim
mers, occurring directly from the
swimming lessons at the Park,
were responsible for several lives
saved. Others have been noted
quickly by supervisors or nearby
swimmers.
Life boat and preservers are at
the beach this year again, and
as usual the telephone will
again be installed for use in emer-
gency. With no phone closer than
a block, without it valuable min
utes might be lost in summoning
help. But it was pointed out the
phone is strictly for emergency use.
Supervision hours, to be announced,
asked to cooperate by allowing

HONEST
PETERSON BRIDES,
PAIRS SAME HOLE

Art Peterson hauled off Sun
day and on the same round
birdied and pared the sixth
hole. 1t was on his second
stroke that he got the birdie.
The ball scared up and in one
of those unusual catastropes
that happen on golf courses
struck a swallow in mid-air,
full flight. The bird fluttered
down with a broken wing. Art
says the ball was scarcely de-
Elected. After examining the
bird, he completed the hole for
a par. The record is believed
to be able to stand for the
rest of the season, but you
can't tell what will happen in
golf.

EXPECT SIXTY AT
NIBLICK TOURNEY

From breakfast of coffee and
doughnuts and morning golf to af-
ternoon luncheon and bridge is the
full days program planned for
Wednesday,, June 18th, when the
Niblick Club, ladies auxiliary to
the Country Club, holds it's invi-
rational golf tournament and bridge
luncheon at the golf course. In
vitations to women golfers in TWEEN
ty nearby clubs have been sent by
the Club committee for arrange
ments, Mrs. Pat Dubois, tourna-
ment chairman, announced.
Plans for sixty golfers from
this and surrounding commun-
titles are being made but the
all days event Is expected to
attract more than that, it is
believed. The event last year,
including those who came for
bridge and luncheon, drew
ninety.
The golf tournament, highlight
of the day, is a short stop event
with a trophy for the champion
and merchandise prizes for three
winners in each flight. A break
fast of coffee and doughnuts is
being served in the morning on
the arrival of golfing women. A
1:30 luncheon and afternoon and
bridge are expected to attract
those for whom golf is no incen-
tive. A particular invitation to
the women Of Sank Centre is be-
ing made for these afternoon
events.
A nine hole golf event has been
arranged in addition to the short
stop tournament.
