It's getting so that q fellow finds
1t hard even to keep track Of the
number of club championships he
wins. That happens to be the
case with Howard Nordlinger, the
straight-hitting gent who rules the
links roost at the Woodmont Coun-
try Club.
Howard won the title again yester-
day, licking Ellis Edlowitz in the
final by 6 and 5. Some one asked
Howard how many times he had
won the Woodmont title. II think"
and he paused. "Yes, I'm sure
this is the fourteenth time" That
is slightly better than par for the
course.
Howard beat Bob Phillipson 2
and ! in a semi-f1nal, while Edo
witz licked Ed Workman in 81 holes
in the other semi final. Then How
ard turned on the heat against Edlo-
witz, turning in IS and being only
/ over par at the finish.
At Manor, Defending Champ Earl
McAleer won his way to the final in
the club title tourney, where he'll
meet Lee Ritter for the crown.
Ritter had beaten M. P. Candy
earlier to reach the final, but that
was before Canby's hot round, when
he shot a subpar 68. He bagged
six brides and wound up with a 6
on the home hole when a par 4
would have given him a 66.
