with the problem of building roads

Although gasoline rationing un-

tourney will be played a week from
today at the picturesque course In
the Pennsylvania mountains.
; For several years Arthur B. Thorn,
former Woodmont pro-, now located

SO pairs and was won by Lew Wor-.

Sixteen duos from WashingtonS
competed with many links stars :
from Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Thorn invites Washington golfers
to play in the tourney and by
doubling up on transportation the
entry list from the Capital may be
fairly large. But the boys are
thinking more than once nowadays
before they use full tank Of gaso- i.
line to play in far-away tourna-r

one-day variety.
There's little doubt, however, that
the Lancaster tourney will draw 10
or a dozen pro-amateur pairs from
the Capital. In contrast to th6o
usual local event. each pro has only

eastern fringe of California had the
unexpected honor of playing host to
the Washington Redskins and more
than a hundred other visitors last
night when track wash-out de-
layed the Los Angeles bound Santa
