Victorious in GoodaN
Runyan Battles for
Place in Open
MeSpoyden Ties Winner
At Medal PIoy, Yet Is
II Points Behind
BY BILL BONI,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Though
he is $1,000 richer for his victory
yesterday in the fourth annual
Goodall round robbin, Paul Runyan
will be just one of some thousand
other golfers when he steps on the
first tee this morning. Along with
those thousand others, he'll have to
fight for the right to qualify for
next weeks United States Open
championship at Fort Worth, Tex
However, there isn't much doubt
he can make it. Any man who can
finish seven rounds on a tough golf
course % shots over par and still
beat IA of the country's best pros
shouldn't find it difficult to win one
of the II places awarded the IS men
competing in the metropolitan dis
trict sectional qualifying round.
Tourney of Many Angles.
Runyan's victory in the Goodall,
his first of any kind in three years,
was proof that the match play
round-robin is a tournament of
many angles, in which they pay off
not only on the kind of golf you're
shooting but also on the type your
opponents deliver.
In medal scores Runyan finished
in a tie for fourth place with Jug
McSpaden. Each had 5l3. Yet
McSpaden wound up the four days
play with net score of minus one,
meaning he had lost one more hole
than he won in his IA matches,
whereas Runyan had plus 26.
Runyan's rounds included two
75s, a rs and a II. On one of the
75s he lost only four points. on the
other he won two. On the 76 he
also netted two. And on the II he
broke even against United States
Open Champion Lawson Little and
McSpaden.
He's Hot at Right Time.
Little Poison" also had two Cos.
The first one came in the third
round, and brought him IA points
against two rivals who were found
ering all over the course. The sec
ond came in yesterdays final round,
when it counted most Runyan was
matched with Vic Ghezzi, who was
leading him three points, and Hor-
ton Smith. He beat Ghezzi 4 up
and Smith 5 up, to knock Ghezzi
down to second-place tie with
Gene Sarazen.
Paul played remarkable golf on
that last round. Out-driven con-
siStently by both his rivals, time
and again he would hit woods and
irons that rolled right up to the pin.
His paddle putter was doing tricks,
and he played at his best when the
pressure was heaviest.

Birdie Last Hole Earns Alton We Met Schooboy Golf Champions
Air of Futi|ity About Open Golf
Trial at Columbia; Big Fields
Lined Up for Club Events

Twenty eight golfers with cham
pionship leanings were playing
today at the Columbia Country
Club in 36-hole test to see which
four of that number have to make
the lengthy trip to Fort Worth,
Tex, to play next month in the
National Open championship. Out
of the entire list there are about
six who really want to go, and
probably most of those will not
qualify. In every sense of the word
the whole thing is a struggle of
futility, for it's an open secret that
many of the % pros and five
amateurs will not go even if they
qualify. The situation is unusual
this year. Ordinarily the pros are
keen to 60 to the open, if it is held
at a reasonable distance from the
Capital. But this year that 5000
mile round trip and its attendant
cost, plus the item of being away
from the job for a week during
busy time of year isn't making a hit
with the pros.
Has Air OF Futility.
In past years we've known some
of the boys deliberately to hash up
the final hole and toss a chance
to qualify, knowing they wouldn't
go anywhere in the National, and
that it would be an expensive trip
to make. The same thing may
happen this afternoon, if it isn't
too obvious. Or even if it is obvious
The whole thing has about it an
air of futility which it wouldn't have
if the championship were to be
staged within overnight reaching
distance of Washington.

Lifts Crown From
Devitt's Skinker
Loser Pairs With Nee
For Cummings Cup Tie
At Columbia Club
By WALTER McCALLUM.

S1Xteen-y -year-old Alton Wlllett,
of Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School. who hasn't learned to shave
more than time or two a week, is
the new metropolitan schoolboy golf
champion.
The youngest of the two tall
Willett brothers, both of whom
caddie at kenWood to augment the
family income, stepped up to
12-foot putt on the 18th green at
Congressional yesterday and nom
chalantly knocked it in for the
winning birdie. That putt did two
things 1t not only knocked the
crown from the tow head of Earle
Skinker of Dewitt Prep, but it de-
stroyed the aura of invincibility
which has hung around that
youngSter since he started winning
among the schoolboys last year.
Skinker Lost Three of Four.
Earle has no excuses. He was
2 up with TO go, and
dropped three of the last four holes
to lose the match. Willett bagged
1l4o Ollly dlC VI GlldC olLClS4l oIlNC
on the 18th, but it was in an i'm
portant spot. 1t won the title for
him.
Earlier the new champion had
bumped off little Charlie Griffin, the
baby faced boy from Roosevelt, who
licked his brother Carroll Saturday.
Alton beat Charlie and 4, with a
round of IA, while Skinker polished
off Art Myers of Roosevelt 2 and
! in the other semifinal. In the
final the boys were not so good. They
had approximately medal rounds of
go but Willett had it when he
needed 1t.
Two Pairs Tie at Columbia.
Columbia Country Club has an
other playoff coming up in the Cum
mings Cup tourney, on which hinges
the best-ball championship of the
club, Earle Skinker, after taking
licking in the schoolboy tourney,
rushed over to Columbia to team
with Maury Nee for a best ball of
II. That was tied by Page Cornwell
and Craig Mckee, so they'll have to
play off. 1t made only 54 holes for
the Skinker boy in a single day.
Don Buckingham and Ray Swearin-
gen missed a tie by single stroke,
with Y.
Winners of the tie will meet Mar
tin F. Mccarthy and George F.
Miller, the champs, in a challenge
match, to be played some time in
June.
Peacock, Rippy Pressed.
There will be no lifting of eye
brows around golf circles in WASH
tngton to learn that Roger Peacock
and Clasde Rippy. best-ball cham
pions of the State of Maryland, are
in the final round in the tourney
for that title. But they didn't get
there without real scrap.
Roger, with 70, and Rippy, with
a 70, had to turn on the heat at
Congressional yesterday to lick per-
sistent John Mackenzie and equally
persistent John Farrell of Hillen-
dale, 2 and l. The winners had a
best ball of 81.
A Neutrality-suspicious. final |
round will be played at the Baltimore
Country Clubs Five Farms course
next Sunday, with Peacock and
Rippy meeting Spencer Overton and
Erford Barnes of Rolling Road. The
latter pair bumped off Edgar Lucas
and Bill Eager of the Baltimore
Country Club, up, after being 4
up with to go.
