The meeting, over which Mrs.
Walter L. Weible presided in her
new role as president of the
Women's District Golf Association,
moved further along the road of
organization for 1941 by adoption
in full of the new team regulations
proposed several weeks ago by a spe-
cial committee headed by Mrs.
Stratemeyer. These regulations pre-
viously have been~printed, and set
up new team match rules which
will tend, Mrs. Weible said, to make
the matches more businesslike.
The Executive Committee also
voted to lift the ban on tournaments
in July and August, which means
that some affairs will be played in
those months Action also was
taken to include in the list of off,
GERS of the association the two
handicap chairmen, making the OFF,
GERS now number seven in all,
Courses to Be Remeasured.
One of the important steps was
authorization for appointment of a
committee to include Mrs. w. B.
Jarvis of Columbia, Mrs. j. A.
Anderson of Argyle, and Mrs. Charles
L. Vaile of Kenwood, to take steps
toward remeasuring of all the golf
courses included in the association
membership.
Our handicaps here are too low -
Mrs. Jarvis said, because the
courses are not accurately measured
and the parS for them are too high
I am sure when we have the courses
accurately measured, and the pars
for them are lowered-as they will
be-most of our golfers will find
their handicaps raised. It's ridicu-
lous, for example, on some of the
courses around Washington. And by
and large most of us feel our handi-
caps are too low as measured by the
par of the courses on which we play
What We are seeking is a fair par
and fair handicaps. We think we
will get these things by accurate
measurements and strict adherence
to the par regulations of the United
States Golf Association"

.Landon Sends Friends
To Third Straight
Defeat on Court "

Despite valiant second-half
rally, Friends School still was look

of the season today, with Landon it's
third successive conqueror yesterday
on the Friends court. -
Big Paul Bakers IA points had
given Landon a 24-7 lead at half
time, but the hosts answered the
pleadings of an enthusiastic stu
dent body and outscored their
guests by nearly 81 margin in
the third and fourth quarters. The
17-point deficit proved too much,
however, and Landon won, 1898. 1t
was the second victory in three
games for Bob MacCartee's team.
Cashing in on 9 of his II oppor-
tunities from the foul line, Armand
Newmyer came within one of tieing
Baker for individual scoring honors.
Baker, incidentally, was held score
less in the second half.

mind again, but he insists that If
Fritzie Zivic whips him at Madison

William Wade HinShaw, golf
companion of Columbia Pro Fred

mer opera star, today presented to
the Middle Atlantic Golf AsSocia-
ton a senior trophy to be held in
perpetuity by the association and
to be the main prize in the organi-
zation'S annual senior event.
Hinshaw, who is 70 years of age,
and is a prominent member of the
Columbia Country Club, long has
been active in the affairs of the
United States Senior Golf Associa-
ton. An active golfer himself, not
withstanding his advanced age,
Hinshaw has played the Columbia
course in 73 strokes, and once in a
while he licks Fred Mcleod, with
whom he plays in good weather.
The two seldom miss their daily
round when the course is playable
The presentation was made to
Albert r. Mackenzie, chairman of
a special committee appointed by
the Middle Atlantic Golf AsSocia-
ton to work out the details of the
first tourney to be held by the major
sectional links organization in this
territory. The cup first will be in
competition in June at Hot Springs,
Va, where the initial senior mid
Atlantic tourney will be held.
Details Being Worked Out.
Mackenzie still is working out the
details of the affair, but probably
the minimum age limit will be SIS,
and the tourney will be open to all
members of the 20 member clubs
of the organization who have
reached their 55th birthday at the
time of the event.
A few years ago Hinshaw pre-
sented to the women of the Co
lumbia Country Club trophy bear
ing his name, which annually is
the main prize in a club event.
Hinshaw is a man who took up
golf after passing middle age, and
is one of the most popular mem
bers of Columbia. He attributes
his good health partially to the
game.

Wants TO Hold of .leost
One Title When He Quits

The day was when Armstrong felt
undressed in public unless he wore
at least two crowns. At one period
he was balancing three tiaras on
his iron noggin, and the world was
draped tastefully at his feet. He was
-featherweight, lightweight and
welterweight champion of all the
earth, simultaneously. A man who
has lived in that sort OF style
always is reluctant to turn IN his
epauletteS and walk the streets
again as a private citizen.
That is why little Henry is stop
ping on his way to retirement TO
call on Mr.. Zivic-Zivic has his
welterweight. uniform and Henry
would like to take it with him
when he goes. The thought OF a
couple of more jackpotS has some
thing to do with it, too. Should he
beat zivic. Armstrong is good for
another purse or two, and fellow
with a strong scissors-hand always
can find time to clip one more
coupon after he retires.
Zivic left the little Negro brutally
beaten the last time they fought.
Hallway through a busy evening he
found the range of Henry's eyes
and began to cut along the dotted
lines. In the final round Henry
almost was totally blind and Zlvic
was hitting his jaw like gong.

League Scoring Mark
Eyed by Burns, Ace
Of Hockey Eagles
Center Now Well Ahead
Of Record Poce; Tough
OIympies TO Invade

A new Eastern Amateur Hockey
League individual scoring record OF
lis points was the goal of Norm
Burns today as he and his league
leading Washington Eagles pointed
for their sixth successive victory
tomorrow night when they meet the
Boston Olympics in another hockey
match at Riverside.
The Eagles made it five straight
last night when they whipped the
Jersey Skeeters in an overtime game
at River Vale, N. j., 5-3, and Burns
added two points to his total. The
Eagle center's only goal came in
the third period, but he was credited
with an assist on Ross Knipfels
game-winning shot.
Burns Has SIS Points.
Burns grand total now stands at
S. points, Al goals and IA assists. in
Washington's first 81 games. Thirty
four matches remain on the schedule
and the Eagles star already has
more than half the number Of the
league record of 108 points set by
Alb Ceilings with the Rovers last
season. Burns closest rival. in
cidentally, is Sammy Fasano OF
Atlantic City-16 points in arrears.
The Eagles apparently will have
their hands full with the Olympics
tomorrow night, since these all
Americans from New England have
developed into the surprise team OF
the league. Not only do they share
with Atlantic City the distinction
of being the only teams to defeat
the Eagles at Riverside this season,
but they have won four and tied an
other in their last five starts.
Olympics Make Record.
A long way from the team which
started off by winning only one OF
its first II games, the Olymplcs
now hold the leagues longest win
ming streak-eight in a row.
