trials for the United States team in
the Pan-American games in Buenos

The -trounced Washington

of rs, and the IS done by Mrs. Neck
ley at Washington in The Star Cup
tourney last spring These were the
best. The other "bests" were not
nearly as good Nor has any local
feminine golfer shown any indica-
ton that in competition she can step
along with par, the steady and in
flexible plodder who has little pa
tienne with mistakes.
Mrs. Davy maintains that with
her handicap of one stroke she has
been enabled to obtain favorable
pairings with better players in the
big tournaments. That, of course, is
a good point. The whole thing SIM
mers down to the fact that handi-
caps are, after all, only a relative
measure of the ability of any player;
and they are not by any means, an
unbending yardstick of scoring No
woman player anywhere is going to
shoot consistent 76s at Columbia,
or consistent IT'S at Congressional.
That latter course, by the way, has
the same par as the shorter and
demonstrably easier WoodmOnt
course.
Perhaps there is considerable
merit on both sides of the handicap
question: those who favor the lower
ing of par, and those who. like
Mrs. Davy. insist that no woman
reasonably can be expected to hew
right to par golf every time she
starts in competition.

| cts Have More Assemblies

think that, after seeing the as
sembly program presented by the
Flathead students last week, all of
us enthusiastically agree that we
should continue exchanging these
programs with an even greater
number of schools. Not only have
these programs brought US some of
the best talent in the Libby, Troy,
and Falthead high schools, but they
also promise entertainment from
other schools in the future.
These assembly programs furnish
a link between the various schools
that promotes interest and good
will among the students. They help
students become acquainted with
those of other schools and also
awaken an interest in what the 9TH
er schools are doing However,
think that the main virtue Of the
assembly programs is that we get
to see entirely new talent each time
students we have never seen per-
form before. Although Johnny's
piano playing is familiar to the stu
dents in Whitefish, it is totally new
to us, and. when we hear it, we en-
JOY it much more than talent we are
used to hearing.
Since the assembly programs that
we have had SO far this year seemed
to work so smoothly, | hope that
next year we can have many more
