MED him, recovering from head
operations undertaken to relieve
pressure on his brain following an

Attends Roosevelt Wilson Match.
Tuesday Brownrigg attended the
Roosevelt-Wilson match as spec
tator, his head bandaged At that
time he hoped to compete in the
coming tournament. That night he
collapsed, was rushed to the hospital
and two operations were performed
The medicoS found blood clot

Grafton.
With Brownrigg out of the tour
ney the championship Is wide open,
for freckle-faced Bill, consistently
the best golfer among the school,
boys this year, had been figured the
lad to whip, even against such stars
as Buster Mrstik and Alton Will
lett of Bethesda, Art Myers. Charlie
Griffin and Joe Barse Of Roosevelt,
and Neil Sullivan, Jack Coyle and
Charlie Price of Georgetown Prep.
Will. Be Pulling for Brownrigg.
One thing Is sure However much
the boys may want to win that
championship themselves they'll be
pulling for Bill Brownrigg and his
early recovery. These high school
golfers happen to be fine sportsmen.
Men many times their senior could
take lessons in craftsmanship from
the youngsters. So while the cham
pionship goes on without Bill
Brownrigg the boys will be waiting
for news from the bedside Of the
lad who might have won.
