Manor and EIkridqe,
Upset Victors, Meet
In State Team Golf


sociation's team matches usually
follow the form sheet for q round
or two. but yesterdays first-round
matches were an exception.
Manor did not show a losing
foursome in walloping Indian
Spring. 1412-31z, at Manor and
Bethesda Country Club edged
Hillendale. 1919, in Baltimore, In
mild surprises. A shocking up
set was Elkridge's 11h-61a tri-
umph over the Country Club OF
Maryland, champions In 1916
47-48.
Elkridge rarely even bothers to
compete, but the Baltimore club
caught the three time former
champions off guard at Elkridge
and almost doubled the score.
The surprises started In the top
foursome when Pro Jimmy Roche
and Alex Knapp won all three
points from Andy Gibson and
Eddie Johnston.
Sweetser Is Victim.
Jess Sweetser played in the
second spot for Elkridge with Bill
Eager, the former Maryland State
champion, but lost to Eddie Meyer
and Ed Finnessy.
Elkridge and Manor meet next
Sunday. with the site to be de-
cided by the flip Of coin, inas-
much as both played at home
yesterday. Billy Griffin had q 73
for Manor. a fine score from the
seldom-used tournament tees, and
under summer rules.
Pro Harry Griesmer dropped q
3-foot putt for a par on the third
extra hole to give his Bethesda
team its triumph over Hillendale
by the playof route. Griesmer
and Tony Popolaski beat Pro
Charley Betschler and Bob Jones
in the playof after dropping three
points to them in the regular
match. --
Washington Beats Columbia.
Washington Golf and Country
Club, runnerup last year, defeated
what appeared to be- a strong
Columbia team, 12a-51a, and
meets Bethesda. probably at Be-
thesda. next week. Baltimore c. C..
defeated Suburban, 13h-4h. and
plays the winner of the Congress
sional-Kenwood match, which was
postponed by rain until Saturday.
It apparently rained harder at
Congressional than at the other
seven courses.
Prince Georges, defending cham
pions. routed Argyle, 1872, and
meets Rolling Road, a 151a-2h
victor over Bonnie View in the
second round. The champions lost
Mike Ondo and 1t. Jim Kinder
from last years team and added
Bob Chandler and Jim Gipe. The
site Of the Prince Georges Rolling
Road match also will require a
toss OF a coin.
