Touring pro Ed Oliver and
George Diffenbaugh. the Kenwood
golf professional, were held all
even by the Woodmont pro team
Iof Fred Bolton and Cliff Spencer
in an 18-hole exhibition yester-
day at Woodmont.
Oliver, one Of the top money
winners on the recent winter tour,
has a date at White Flint today
where he and the new host pro,
Frank Tenney. will meet Lew
Worsham. Washington's ex-Open
champion and also one of the top
money winners of 1852, and Boil
ton.
Bolton hit a ponderous drive on
the 18th at Woodmont yesterday,
Ismacked wedge within five feet
of the cup and dropped the birdie
putt to give the host pros an
even break.
Both teams had best ball Cos
but the individual scoring was not
exceptional. Oliver was approx
limately one under par and Spen-
Ger about one over. They were
the best.
1t took brides to win the last
five holes, however. Oliver birdied
the 14th to get his team even, and
IDiffenbaugh birdied the 18th for
a up lead. Bolton squared the
match with a birdie on the 18th.
Oliver dropped a 40-footer for a
birdie deuce on the 18th, and an
other one-up lead, but it was
Ishort-lived.
Bolton spent most of the after
noon trying to outhit Oliver, one
of pro COLTS longest drivers. Fred
passed him several times, but
admitted Oliver was the master.
Today's match at o'clock, free
to the public-while yesterdays
was closed to Woodmont Club
members-will be preceded by a
clinic presented by Oliver and
Worsham at 1:30.
The public links golfers are
backing their present champion,

Brownell and Ralph Bogart in a
match at East Potomac today at
l o'clock.
BroWnell. the seven-time Dis
trict amateur champion and
Bogart, three-time Maryland and
District Amateur titlist, have been
virtually unbeatable against local
amateur duos. The municipal
golfers believe Graham and Mar
cey can beat them. however, at
