poned two weeks, and in those
two weeks Houghton built up
such a case of nerves it was no
contest. Stevinson won going
away.
When Amiable AL turned pro,
his curse of losing in-the-bag
matches. followed him. When
the Middle Atlantic PGA cham
pionship was match-play event,
Houghton and Baltimore's three
time winner, Charles Betschler,
won their way to the final over
Betschler's home course.
Baltimore golf galleries are ex-
tremely partial, but they had
little to cheer for as Houghton
built a lead Of 5 up with 6 to
play over Betschler. the delib-
crate, painstaking golfer with the
nerve-racking club-wiggle before
every shot. Houghton was clown
ing, conceding puts, and telling
Charley he would take him AZ
far as possible 50 he wouldn't
look too bad before the home
folks.
That was a mistake. In q
complete form reversal Betsehler
birdied four straight holes and
won them all, pared the 35th
to square the match and won it
with a par 4 on the 18th.
But a Houghton- -Betschler re
match in the second round Of
later Middle Atlantic PEA tour
nament was the heart-breaker of
them all. Houghton was 3 up
and 3 to play, and wanted to
win this one badly. Betschler
birdied 16 and IT, but on the
tough par 4 finishing hole at
Woodmont Houghton sfnacked
his second shot feet from the
cup. Betschler missed the green.
But as Houghton was counting
his revenge, Charley Clipped in
to the cup, Houghton missed his
putt and the match was even.
On the 18th, drive-and-
wedge par 4, Houghton dropped
his second shot feet from the
pima sure birdie. I've got
him now" Houghton thought,
only to eat those words as
Betschler hit a high approach
shot that dropped on the green
and rolled truly into the cup for
an eagle 2.

get a man 8 down try to make
it TO-" Houghton, the softie that
he is, never took that bit of ad-
vice.
AL was q hot-shot amateur 90
odd years ago, when he made
his first mistake of taking an
opponent too lightly.
1t was in the Columbia Invi-
tation Tournament, and Hough-
ton, the young upstart, was play
ing E. L. Bono. AL was up and
6 to play when all Of a sudden
the holes started slipping away.
He didn't care too much, figuring
he could put Bono away at any
time.
But the host club player
squared the match and neryously
stepped to the 10Th tee for the
first extra hole. He caught the
ball right on top, and it trickled
into the ditch in front of the
green. Bono stepped over to offer
congratulations, conceding the
match, but Houghton said no.
Let's play it out" he said, and
confidently lined tee shot $50
yards down the center of the
fairway.
Bono begrudgingly walked
down to his ball, took a penalty
stroke and played a safety out
in the fairWay. He was not as
far in 3 as Houghton was in /.
Without warning Houghton came
up with every golfers dread
the hated shanks, where the ball
shoots off at right angles. He
kept shanking farther and farther
from the green until after he had
taken five shots and was headed
for the railroad tracks that run
through the course, he picked
up, conceding the match.
Columbia was the scene of an
other downfall on Houghton's
part. 1t was in the District ANA
teur, when it was played at medal
play, and the home club mem
bers were shocked to find their
star shotmaker, Miller B. Stevin-
son, 8 strokes back of Houghton
with 10 holes to play.
Nobody else was closer than 8
strokes and only a few of the
faithful followed the head-to-
head struggle between the expert
enced former champion and the
youngster just out of the public
links ranks
Both drove in the fairway off the
ninth, or 62nd hole of the tourna-
ment. Houghton selected a bras
sic for his second shot, swung
sharply, and to the complete
amazement of all present he
missed the ball completely. His
foot slipped and he couldn't stop
the swing in time.
With that Houghton lost his
composure. Stroke by stroke he
watched his seemingly insur-
mountable lead slip exasperat-
ingly away. He lost nine strokes
in 10 holes, and they finished all
square. The playoff was post

Close Out Big Week
In School Series

Schoolboy basket ball players close
out a busy week in the District
public high series with two games
tomorrow afternoon and a double
header at the Armory on Saturday
afternoon. Tomorrow's games are
a bit scattered with Chamberlain
at Roosevelt and Bell at Wilson,
both at o'clock.
Saturdays twin bill opens at l:30
with Eastern against Tech. followed
by Western against Central.
Roosevelt and Wilson are favorites
for tomorrow afternoon against the
two series newcomers, but Cham
berlain has at least a chance OF
upsetting the Rough Riders. The
Volts have shown improvement
right along and turned in their
first series win two days ago when
they defeated Bell. Roosevelt was
runnerup for the title last year, but
this time isn't doing too well. The
Riders have had a tough early
schedule, going against Eastern
Tech and Wilson, and should notch
a win or two before they are
through.
The two boys who have developed
as the main Chamberlain threats
are Tommy Blount and Joe Kolley
with little Buddy Harrell also get
ting in his share of good work
When they acquire a little more
experience the Volts aren't likely to
be the soft touches they are at
present. Experience is where the
Riders have an edge on them to-
morrow. with such smooth perform
ers as Tom Mifflin, Warren Seigel
and Eddie Graham in the lineup.
