EXPLAINS CARD PLAN

THE players will play in four
SomeS. The brackets of four play
ers teeing off together. Each man
literally plays the other three men
because when the matched play is
over score cards al. compared and
the man winning the most holes is
winner of the foursome and will be
paired the following day with the
winner of the lower bracket, Thus,
not only will the man be out to
beat the player he is paired with
but at the end of the match he
will compare his card Gf he defeats
his opponent, with the winner of
the other pairing. The hClder of
the best card is termed winner.
This eliminates a second round play
between the winners of the pair
ings. Sunday morning the upper
and lower bracket winners will be
paired for the finals. Simple, isn't
it," McLaren commented.
The pairings and time for teeing

I see by the papers that Indiana
is "a doubtful State" That means
the people who run the public opin-

going on election day.
But there is one thing that is not
doubtful about this State-and that
is the ability of its people to pro-

I hope that-regardless of which
