The sponsors of the $4,000
National Capital Open at Prince
Georges June 5-8 took heart at the
turnout for the National Celebrities
tournament at Columbia Country
Club and are predicting a financial
success for the four-day tournament
that is less than three weeks away.
Incomplete returns show that
1908 spectators paid $12,o22 for the
Saturday and Sunday show, with
POSSIBLY another 81 900 to be added.
The Prince Georges event must
gross almost $4,000 to break even,
but the greatest collection OF golf
stars ever to appear here scrapping
for a $4,000 top prize, it appears
their pre-National Open event can't
miss, based on the Columbia at
tendance.
The greatest drawing card at q
golf tournament today is not top
golfer-it's Bing Crosby. Bing plays
good enough to keep the golfers
interested, but just the fact that he's
around keeps the fair sex interested
and we don't mean bobby soxers
Crosby is one Of the greatest ad-
hbbers in his profession and the
gallery at Columbia hung on every
word. They expected every line to
be terrific.
Babe Didrikson Zaharias fell into
the spirit of the Celebrities event
UP to certain point. Bobby Cruick-
shank kept up a running line OF
chatter, directed at Babe, for the
first five holes yesterday before Babe
told, the Wee Scot she was dead
serious and didn't appreciate the

In foursome with Cruicky, Chick
Evans and Fred Mcleod. Babe was
about even off the tee with Cruicky
and was hitting the ball a little past
Evans on most holes according to
her personal marshal, Karl Corby.
For the records. Gene Sarazen
won the golfers section of the char
ity event with 70-72-142. 2 over par
for the SO holes. The Babe was the
top woman golfer with 73-75-l48
and Representative Leslie Arends

While Maryland's rise In inter-
collegiate competition is expected
to be slow, Driskill hopes the new

by 1913.
Driskill seems somewhat aston.
ished that Maryland made ~

he'll be in no hurry to root out

he was doing, for Walter has had
wide experience and has the
know-how to get things done.
They say he helped write the
book for Capt. Tom Hamilton'S

gram, although Driskill merely
says he was one Of the first ON
GERS to 60 into that work.

next Sunday at Colonial Village.

the same night.
King humbled Lou jenkins in a
four game sfutout over the Virginia

498 to ATS. In the other quarter
final matches Parsons blasted out a
spectacular 4-3 victory over Lindsey
Stott in eight games. Jarman
whipped Al Wright, Al, tallying 654
to 602, and Evans beat Leon Fleisher,
AZ, counting 769 to 686.
Other Matches.
To reach the quarter finals Evans

games. Jarman trimmed Joe

fore Wright subdued Bob Winning,

Parsons fired I59 to 146 to decision
Stewart Burger, 4-3, while the big
upset was Fleisher's 4-3 win from
Mike Avon. The diminutiye Claren-
don star won three of the last four
games from the Hi-Skor team ace.
Again Fleisher was on the verge Of
coming from behind to square his
match at three all with Evans when
a f1yback gave Evans a spare in the
final box on which he counted
heavily to end the duel.
Close Battle All Way.
Stott's loss to Parsons was q heart
breaker. Parsons won the first, 155
to liz. They tied the second with
144s. Parsons won the next two,
121 to 108 and lis to 113. Here Stott
braced to win the next three and
square the match with 100 to los,
125 to 81 and 1873 to 123.
A spare and strike gave Stott a
11-pin lead to start the final game.
The battle was close all the way,
with Parsons gaining a four-pin
lead in the seventh frame, 104 to 100.
Two spare counts gave Stott a 10
pin lead going into the final box.
Stott got eight pins out of a split.

and if you Know Tatum you know
1t would be easier for him to lose

Driskill, while Tatum's man,
will be no figurehead In his new
role. Maryland's future varsity
schedules will be his schedules,
with Tatum. OF course, sitting in
on the football bookings. He'll
map out intramural programs
and attend to all the paper work
that falls on the shoulders of
director of athletics. But he's
going to move slowly and build
soIidIy for the future, and Old
Line alumni who have visions Of
uncomfortable teams In any
sports for the next three. or four
years are only day-dreaming.
Driskilps first aim is to or
ganize coaching clinic for high
school coaches in Maryland and
adjacent territory The agenda
will include everything but cro-
quet. This is scheduled the first
10 days of summer school, or early
in July. He also hopes to have
single-wing football clinic the
latter part of August. Next year
he'd like to import such masters
Of that style of play as Carl
Snavely, Bernie Bierman and
Fritz Crisler to conduct the clinic,
but all that is only in the blue
print stage.
Driskill has no intention OF
trying to force football into
Maryland State high schools,
where it now gets the cold
shoulder. He hopes school om-
cials will see the benefits derived
from the game and encourage
its growth, but he has no idea
