By WALTER McCALLUM.

Three links championships, one Of
them a city affair, and the others
women's country club titles, were to
be decided today
Youth was riding high in the
saddle at East Potomac Park, where
sturdy Andy Oliveri, twice a former
titlist, faced slender Bill Brownrigg
a Kenwood member, for the District
public links championship over the
36-hole route, with every promise of
a close, tough match and a decision
hinging on the work around the
greens.
Women's championship final
rounds were in progress at Colum-
bia and Washington, with Mrs. E. r.
Randall the favorite to win at
Washington over tall Mrs. John S.
Connolly, and with the Columbia
final between steady Mrs. Lloyd G..
Pray and Elinor Finckel strictly a
toSSup.
Before the war Oliveri, not long
won the District municipal links
championship. He served a short
hitch in the Army, from which he
was released more than year ago,
and now is working as an electrician
at Quantico.
Brownrigg Starred in School.
Bill BroWnrigg is a former school
boy champ, and one of KenWood's s
top golfers, who got into the public
links tourney when the authorities
decided to open the event to club
golfers. A few years back Bill got a
lick on the head from the mad
vertent club swinging of a high
school team mate. 1t laid him up
for while, but for year or more
he has been playing good golf, and
he can become one of the best. To-
days publinX final should be closely
fought. Both young men are on the
sunny side of 25, and both know
the ins and outs OF match play
Oliveri won fairly easily by and
2 from Joe Gambatese in yesterdays
quarter final, and then eked out a
last hole semifnal victory over stall
wart Ted Burrows of Indian Spring,
after turning 4 up on the graying
poultry merchant who used to win
public links titles himself.
Brownrigg licked j. K. Bowers 5
and in the quarter final, and then
went to the turn in the semifnal
even with Government employe
Gene Fossum. There Brownrigg had
a hot streak and Fossum cooled off
and Bill Won five straight holes and
