New Setup for Title Tourney
To Be Topic of Fair Golfers

The pattern of the District wom-
ems golf championship for 1s43,
if the tournament is played, will be
laid before the annual meeting of
the District Womens Golf Associa-
ton at the Kenwood Golf and
Country Club next Thursday. For
weeks members of the Executive
Committee Of the WDGA have been
going over various plans for the
District championship. They will
announce their findings a week from
today, when Mrs Walter l.. Weible
of Kenwood becomes president of
the feminine association for the
third straight year.
Mrs. Weible today asked all inter-
ested women to attend the luncheon
and annual meeting. which starts at
1890, December 8, and probably 100
or more feminine golfers, looking
far different from the women who
donned spiked shoes for tourna-
ments, will attend the affair.
Several proposals have been made
to change the form of tourney for
the District championship. Most
of them center around the unusually
large field this year at Chevy Chase,
where nine flights competed. The
women agree that something must
be done to break up such a large
group of competitors on one course,

Golf Pro Houghton Joins
ToiIers for Uncle Sam;
Mrs. Fox Leader

AL Houghton, a gent fairly well
known in golf circles around town as
pro at KenWood, Prince Georges and
chief professional golf promoter, now
is working for Uncle Sam. AL has
landed a job with one of the Gov
ernment agencies and no longer
heads the Prince Georges Club,
where he was the first president.
Mrs. E. J. Fox. former tournament
chairman for the WDGA. is the new
Golf Committee chairman at Ken

administrator, succeeds Mrs. l. E.

Remember Russ Hollebaugh? Russ
used to be golf salesman, and a

before an illness stopped him. Russ
now is manager of the local branch
for the outfit which employed him
for years as a salesman of golf
equipment. And he is doing all
right, although the company doesn't
have too much in the way of golf
goods to sell nowadays.

tourney into two classes, with the
top golfers of the town bracketed
in one division, while the others
play for the class B title. The lower
handicapped women, or the better
golfers, according to this line of
thought, would qualify 80 women
for match play But that would
take six days to finish instead of the
usual five. However, a match play
field of 80 would remove any proba-
bility that potential champion
might fail to qualify. as is possible
under the 16-qualifier system.
It's no secret that few clubs care
for nine flights of golfers using the
course for full five days. Such a
schedule, obviously, leaves little op-
portunity for the club to handle its
own membership, since the more
than 140 golfers involved use the
layout until midafternoon or later
That was the chief complaint at
Chevy Chase this year.
So the women probably will come
up with some scheme for changing
the method Of playing the District
championship. Just what it will be
isn't generally known, but it will be
a change. And it is entirely possible
that the whole schedule may be can
celled next year. Decision as to the
holding OF the usual schedule Of
tournaments rests with the execu-
tive committee. which will hold it,
