Club Expects
Large Entry Sun.

Country Club members expect
their friendly visitations to pay div.
idends this week for they've prac.
ticed golfdom's reciprocal theme OF
you come to my tournament and
I'll come to yours"
If that practice means anything
and given a good weather break
members and the tournament
committee, headed by Vic Sieben
chairman, expect entries to run &
good deal stronger in the short
stop tournament Sunday than it die
in their first early in May.
Match play will begin at $3.50
a. m. Sunday with sixteen in
the championship flight and
eight i'm all others, Vic ANNOUNCE
ed. This is the second of three
short stops scheduled for this
season.
Merchandise prizes will be given
in all flights and the entry fee is
one dollar. Entrants may qualify
on their home courses.
The boys from the local club
have been active in tournament
golfing circles this summer, partic-
ipating in a number of short stops
at Benson, Glenwood and others, in
the Central Minny event at st.
Cloud, and in the 54-hole medal
play at Alexandria Sunday. Usually
this practice reaps dividends when
the club shoots its own tournament.
While no advance notice indi-
Gates it, there is strong possibility
the event may draw some Of the
heavyweights of the sector. Such
active central Minnesota golfers as
Roy Gilbertson, the Benson ace,
and Vegoe and others from Glen
wood, may find their way to Sank
Centre Sunday.

BONNER. after a few years of
quieter golf, strobe into the top
rank of state golfers last week
when he dumped four favOrited
golfers in a row to windup in
the semi-finals ut Minneapolis
Town and Country Club. :.
Even though the handsome Don
failed in the match against
Gene Christensen, his flying
trip in the state amateur is
called the absolute top in his
golfing career.
Don has played in some of the
events around here this year. And
it is something of a feather in Pat
Dubois golfing hat that twice he
nipped BONNER out of the race.
First it happened in late May
when Dubois won the short stop
tournament here in his own back
yard and BONNER wound up in sec
ond place as runnerup. Then
at Glenwood, where Pat copied

in the trail dust Dubois left behind.
Defending champ of the 81
hole tournament at Alexandria,
Pat took in that event this
weekend. A year ago, his
game oiled with heavy rains, he
ran away with the field to win.

rounds, Pat found himself sew

smaller pike, like those gotten
out of Osakis and other stock

the fry planted in this lake is
beginning to grow. There
is also the possibility that the
recent floods have dumped new

something rare in a frying pan.

in Sank Lake. Few ever did,
