No popular music, CT course, no
dynamics no selections with high
range; instead we use classical
music and many, many folk
songs. Rhythm is very important,
especially with orthopedic cases. "

BRIT0NS MAY Use
WEEKEND GOLFERS
Americas Walker Cup
Team May Face Coal
Grimed Players

LONDON, Feb. 16. -(P)- Ameri.
cas- Walker Cup team may face
some weekend golfers with coal
grimed shirts as well as traditional
gentlemen foes with old school
ties when the Yank amateurs chal-
lenge Britain at St. Andrews in
May.
Newspapers have launched a
campaign to spotlight unknown
artisan players miners, car
penters, bus drivers - who anony-
mously stroke par in their steady,
twice weekly appearances on the
links.
First the Evening News announc-
ed a nationwide tournament for
weekend golfers with the avowed
purpose of disclosing new talent
for the Walker Cup Defenders.
Then George Harrison, News OF
the World sports columnist, fired
this saivo at the sedate ruling
house of British Golf, the Royal
and Ancient club of St. Andrews:
IF we are to make any genuine
effort to prevent our major titles
from disappearing over the At
lantlc horizon, we must obviously
encourage every t~op-class golfer,
regardless Of the condition of his
pocket"
He reported a few figures - little
known, perhaps, in the exclusive
parlors Of the Oxford and Cam.
bridge University club, heretofore
chief source of Walker players -
that 200 OF the $1,000 registered
artisan golfers break par regular
ly.
They are organized into 1876
clubs and gain access to expensive
curses but not the clubhouses
- by paying reduced fees for the
"of' hours.
Today Harrison boosted in his
column that the r. and A. had in
vited the Artisan Golfers Associa-
ton to submit the names of eight
Of its best players.
They will probably be invited to
participate in two regional try
outs for the Walker Cup team,
since the solicitors would be the
last to admit passing UP a par
buster because of his social status
or the lack of a blue-hued college
scarf.
