Storm-Hit College Golf
TO Settle FinaIisfs
In Matches Today
By the kssoeiofsd Press

AMES, Iowa, July IA storm
harassed national intercollegiate
golf tournament expected to ready
today the fnalists for a delayed
36-hole championship match.
The tournament, its qualifying
round temporarily disrupted by
thunderstorms last Monday eve
ming, was thrown out of gear
again yesterday. The four semi
finalists barely had begun their
play when a 45-mile-an-hour
wind and rainstorm struck the
heavily wooded Iowa State course.
The storm lasted As minutes,
causing postponement Of the semi
final finishes until today and a
24-hour delay in deciding a
champion.
Morris williams, jr., Of the Uni
versity of Texas and Eli Bariteau,
San Jose State Colleges amateur
titleholder of California. were
stranded after making their Sec
ond shots on the No. 2 hole. They
and their gallery followers ducked
for cover from the approaching
storm.
Harvie Ward of the University
of North Carolina and Tommy
Veech, the big lad from Notre
Dame, were second off the tee
but. they finished the two holes.
Ward missed a 2-foot putt for a
win on No. 2 as the wind howled.
Ward had to settle for a halve
par S and he and Veech were all
even for two holes. Williams and
Bariteau played No. / In par As
and were to commence today from
their positions to the right Of the
second green.

|Trans-Miss. Card
BY me Asseeiafsd Press

LINCOLN, Nebr.. July IAN
old-time Texas golf brawl, ladies
fashion, was in store for Lincoln
Country Clubbers tn the 10th
women's Tfans-Mississippi gol1
tournament today.
The feature seminal match
pitted Polly Riley Of Fort Worth
Trans champion the last two
years. against Betsy Rawls OF
Austin. the current Texas State
champ and 1948 public links titlist
of that State.
In the other semifinal match
Betty "MacKinnon Of Mount
Pleasant met the long-driving
steady-putting Marjorie Lindsay
Of Decatur. Ill.
Miss Lindsay advanced to the
semis with the best medal record
of any Of the competitors. She
was II strokes under regulation
figures for three days of shooting
over the 6,330-yard par-79 Lincoln
Country Club course.
Miss Rawls. a Texas University
student who upset Miss Riley in
the Texas State last year, got
into the next round by whipping
Mrs. Russell Mann OF Lincoln, q
former Trans champion, 1 up on
the 18th green. The match was
even at the turn and both were
three strokes under par at the
finish with 76s.
Miss Riley, q great match
player, was 2 up at the turn and
played 1-under-par golf in elimi.
mating Gertrude Marcus Of Glen
dale, Calf, S and 4.
Miss Lindsay had her troubles
yesterday. She was even with
Mrs. Noble after nine holes, but
found her touch on the back nine
to close the match on the 18th
green, 3 and 2. Mrs. Noble had
applied the pressure most Of the
day.
Miss MacKinnon was four
strokes under par in defeating
Miss De Moss. 4 and 2.
Miss De Moss got the only eagle
Of the day, a 8 on the 430-yard
seventh, when her approach was
true to the pin about 2 feet away
Miss MacKinnon was even with
mems par for the seven holes
coming In.

They say that If you can't
break 80 you have no business
on q golf course and if you can
break 80 you have no business.
Proof of this is being offered
at Prince Georges Golf and
Country Club in the $4,000
Washington Star Open tourna-
ment. Many of the entrants
are breaking 80 and have no
business. At the quarter-pole,
26 players have broken 10 and
as only the low Is pros and ties
get prize money in a PGA tour
nament these are the only ones
who are playing for profit at
this point.
If you are a professional
golfer and merely make habit
of breaking 80, you are not in a
very good business. Scores of
10 and above will get you moth
ing in this league. If The Star
Open is any indication, SO play
ers are participating in this
stop on the circuit for the exer-
else. That's how tough playing
golf for business can be.
Even Sam Snead, who stands
as perhaps the finest swinger
of a golf club the game ever
has known, winner Of So major
tournaments in his career and
present holder Of the PGA and
Masters championships, could
bolster this theory. Despite the
fact he played we'll, shooting a
3-under-par SO, is players were

My 5weetie Favorite
las 10 Select Boats
Race for Gold Gun
Nv the Assoeioisd Pysss

DETROIT, July IA small
but select field Of 10 boats was set
to churn up the Detroit River to-
day in a scramble for the Gold Cup
Race Trophy-one Of the major
prizes Of American speedboat
racing.
Two former winners, piloted by
Bandleader Guy Lombardo and Al
Fallon Of Detroit, were included in
the group. that survived grueling
qualifying tests.
The race will be run in three 30
mile heats, the winner to be picked
on a point system.
Fallon and his Miss Great Lakes
were cast in the role Of defending
champion, while Lombardo was to
pilot Tempo vi in which he sped
to victory in 1916.
The favorite's role was held,
however, by Detroit's My sweetie,
which burned up the 2h-mile
course at a 92.402 miles per hour
average speed to lead the qualiflers.
Race rules called for entries to
complete three laps at speed Of
65 miles per hour and that assign
ment proved too much for most Of
the original entry list Of IS boats.
My Sweetie. which has its pro-
peller at midship instead Of the
stern, hit better than 100 miles an
hour on the straightaway in its
runs this week and was given a
fair chance of coming close to the
10000 miles per hour record for
Gold Cup competition.
That mark was set by Harold
Wilson In his Miss Canada III a
couple of years ago.
Wild Bill Cantrell, who has
driven in the last two 500-mile
auto races at Indianapolis, was
ticketed to drive My Sweetie in his
bid for his first Gold Cup title.
One of the most highly rated
contenders was r. Stanley Dollar,
u - VI SeA4A = oAASAoSOS WAAV F4OeCA
his Skip-a-Long at an S4.736-
m.p.h. clip in qualifying trials.
Henry j. Kaiser's Hot Metal was
one of the unknowns. Hot Metal,
with Norm Lauterbach at the
helm, just got under the qualify
ing mark yesterday with 67.601
trip.
The West Coast industrialist's
second boat, Aluminium First, did
not qualify.
The rest Of today's field and
their qualifying marks included
