All records attendant to the
tournament teetered as the field
cautiously spread over the par

Apparently the only mark which
might make a stand was the scoring

A few bold souls predicted even
that would be broken. Under a
steaming sun which was drying out
the course, many of the players re-
ported improved practice rounds

Never before has the Open been

all the low SCORING in practice has
been done on the first nine holes.
Special rules appeared in pros

the week soaked the 7O05-yard

would be permitted to lift balls en-
bedded in gumbo mud at some
fairway points
For the first time, former cham
pions were permitted to compete
lnsuring one of the most colorful
fields in the Opens history.
Harold w. Pierce, president of the

sounded the concensus when he
said that unless foul weather comes
again the tournament should be one

No one could give him any en-
enlargement about the weather.

TWISTED YOUTH
 REJECTED HERE
17-Year-OId Lad Weighs 226 Pounds; Marines,
 Navy Seek Reduction

A young man from Winsted came down to Waterbury today to sec about enlisting in one of the ser vices. Unaware that there is a na- val recruiting station. in Torrington he made the long trek to this city to talk the situation over with rep resentativeS of the various services.
 He visited Sgt. Maxwell P. Dick erson at the marine station, and was promptly told that his 22e pounds were too much for his 1T years and his 66-inch stature, as far as the marines were concerned Wanting to try every avenue, the young man went next door, and consulted Preston Thorns at the navy recruiting station.
 An examination showed that the applicant was also more than 10C pounds over normal weight for the navy as well, the average weight for his age and height being 119 The two recruiters calculated that they could allow about 25 per cent leeway above normal, but this brought the excess poundage down only to 30 pounds.
 The young man inquired about the reserves - no use, requirements were the same. He suggested that serving with the navy or the mar ines would enable him to bring his weight down -- no use, the services insisted the reducing come pre- vious to his enlistment.
 The recruiters consulted theii tables again. If the applicant re- duced for two years, he would then be 19, and it would not be neces- Sary to lose so much weight-and al the end of two years, the services would probably still be taking men But that seemed Q long time tC wait.
 They consulted the tables onct more. If he could add two or three inches in height, he could be al lowed more weight, and wouldn't have to lose but fifty pounds. Roadwork every day might do it.
 The young man went back tt Winsted to think 1t over.
