ABBOTT UPSET

Pvt. Pat Abbott of Pasadena,
Cal. counted upon heavily TO carry
on his fairhay feud with Corp.
Bud Ward of Spokane. Wash, was
Sidelined yesterday in the first
round of match play in the ALI
American amateur by Gus No
votny of Lagrange, I'll. This upset
was all the more startling because
Abbott only few days ago lifted
the western amateur champion
ship from Ward, who had held the
title two years.
To replace Abbott, however,
there was 21-year-old Johnny
Holmstrom of Rockford, Ill, who
already has caught the crowds
fancy. Holmstrom, who graduated
from the University Of Illinois only
last month, shared medalist honors
yesterday with Johnny Lehman,
35-year-old Chicago insurance
executive.
Even with Abbott gone. there
were plenty OF individuals around
to compete with Ward, national
amateur champion.
Along with Holmstrom and Leh-
man were Johnny Goodman, for
mer n tional open champion;
Frank Muscles Stranahan,
Ohio amateur and a trans-Missis-
sippi champion; Ensign Alec WEIGH
of Rockford, H.: Earl Stewart of
Austin, Tex; John Stoltz, North
University star. and Lieut..
Richard d. Chapman of Knoll

ways of scoring. One of them is to
add up all of the scores made by

add up all of the scores by the
pair playing the East-Wcst hands.
and those of its opponents. and
then subtract the total points of
your two pairs from those by your
opponents. to see how many net
points you have. which may be
either plus or minus. The other is
