seven boys to Lincoln. Nebr., Au-
gust 81, is working with Emmet and
the District Golf Association. The
latter group may lend aid with some
Of its Junior golf funds.
If four boys make the trip, the
semifinalists will qualify, but If the
maximum OF seven represent this
section, Emmett will take all but one
Of the quarterfinalists. Otherwise
the tournament will be played out
for the title and prizes alone.
