STASzOWSKI, W|LKOS ON WAY
 TO GOLF GLORY
zenlmOns Loses 20 Hole Match-W. J. Sweeney
 Senior Champion Of'42
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Two extremely opposite male phy- sical specimens, heavy, tall and young Frank Staszowski from Green woods, a "short" nine hole-golf links up Winsted way; and short, slightly mild-mannered Eddie wilkes of the Wethersf1eld Club, went after the 43rd annual Con- necticut amateur golf championship this morning at the Country Club of Waterbury.
 For the contestants, the final re- suit means a great deal, for neither has competed in the state amateur meet before. and either is apt to win what is confidently expected to be a close, interesting and exciting S6 hole match, played before and after 'lunch-hour.
 Staszowsld, an eaSy-moving 200 pounder, was a slight favorite to win as he has "game" that includes power-drives of 250-275 yards oil the tee, excellent iron shots and put- ting ability that needs no apologies to anyone. Yesterday, a downhill IS footer on the 17th green gave him @ one-hole lead when he needed 1t most to eliminate Alpheus Winter, Jr. the Brooklawn golfer who was god enough to put the danper on defending champion Bobby Walsh by the convincing count of 1 and 3.
 No Pressure
 wilkes, a steadily improving play- CT easily disposed of Eddie Shick- oWski, the chunky Hop Brook lad who defeated East Mountains Vic Zemmons, in a 20 hole match yes- terday. . staszowski stopped Dom soccolli of Wethersheld, & case hardened tournament veteran 2 and which is another indication that the Win- sted farm-boy has the golf game that should bring him the cham- pionship todaq, though Wilkes flg- ures to be plenty tough" all the way.
 Hop Brooks Pete Burke, after losing his first round match, seems well on the way to the consolation prize as he put together two one over par 70 rounds and has now reached the finals of the division in which he has been playing Since his Tuesday setback.
