Virginias Is best amateur golf
ers meet the District Golf Asso-
cations version of this city'S anna
teur stars in the second annual
team match at Manor Country
Club today. Play starts from the
first tee at / o'clock.
Bobby Brownell, District ANA
teur titlist and captain of the
hosts, led his lineup to a 1872
1912 victory last year at Char
3ottesville. but this year the meth
cd of selecting the District team
was taken from Brownell's hands
and instead the top player from
each club was selected with few
variations.
Virginia, however, is sending its
top available contenders and, de-
spite an unfamiliarity with the
course, the visitors are the favor
ties to square the series.
H. M. Dummy BlankinShip of
Lynchburg, non-playing captain
of the visitors, will not announce
his starting lineup until Just be-
fore the match starts, although
Brownell made pairingS for his
team last week.
Visitors Practice.
Several Virginia players arrived
yesterday afternoon and played
a practice round at Manor. Most
of the District golfers played over
their home courses. among them
Comdr. Frank Heyer. the Belle
Haven Club champion, who set an
unofficial course record with a Go
over the Alexandria layout. Comdr,
Heyer knocked in eight brides
and was over par three times.

Georges in the second and Maury
