Course Takes
a Beating
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July
7-(P)-With two scoring rec
ords being set in as many days,
the Golden Valley course, g.
582-yard championship layout,
has taken the beating of its life
and appeared doomed for more
par-busting today as some of the
country's top pros drew beads
on a double round of best-all
team competition.
In yesterdays first round of
the 126-hole marathon, which
concludes Sunday with the win
ming twosome splitting a first
prize of 81 800 in war bonds, a
total of 81 brides and four
eagles were posted by the eight
competing teams.
Leading the way was the fav-
ored jug Misrepresentation Mel
son powerhouse with best ball
of 31-3O-6l as compared with
par 37-37-73. They fashioned
this phenomenal score-an all
time team record for par-break-
ing-despite a high wind and a
rain which pelted their faces for
the last eight holes.
McSpaden, winner Of five Of
his last l3 tournaments, carried
the match most of the way. At
ter taking DOGGY 6 on the first
hole when he knocked two balls
out of rounds, he dropped a 40
foot chip shot on the 498-yari
sixth for an eagle. This started
him on a sensational streak dur
ing which he went 10 under par
on nine consecutive holes.
