Downey, Fau|k Reach
.Women's S Golf Finals
With Riley, McWane
By the Associoied Press

HOLLYWOOD, Fla, Jan. 81
Defending champions, Polly
Riley, Fort Worth. Texas, and
Bea McWane, Birmingham, Ala,
squelched a belated rally by their
semif1nal opponents today and
won spot in the finals of the
Women's international Four-ball
golf tournament.
They will make their third bid
for the championship which they
won in 1949 and again last year
in the 36-hole final tomorrow
against Mary Lena Faulk, Thom-
aSville, Ga, and Mary Ann
Downey, Baltimore, over the
Orange Brook Country Club
course.
Miss Riley and Miss McWane
defeated Pat Gardner, Midland,
Texas, and Marjorie Lindsay Nc
MILAN, Milwaukee, 2 up.
Miss Faulk and Miss Downey
also had to fight off a rally to
beat Carol Diringer, Tiffin, Ohio,
and Mary Agnes Wall, Me-
nominee, Mich, and l.
The Gardner-Lindsay team
came to life too late. Miss Nc
Swane put her team 4 up and
S to play by winning the 18th
with birdie 3 on a 12-foot putt.
Miss Garner took the 14th with
birdie 4, the 18th was halved,
and Pat gained the 10th with a
16-foot putt and a birdie 3. But
Pat and Marge had trap trouble
on the 18th and lost the match.
The Wall-Dirlnger duo began
its rally on the 14th where Miss
Diringer had a birdie 4. Miss
Wall sank q 15-footer for q
birdie at the 18th. Miss
Diringer took the 10Th with a
par 5 and her team was then
2 down. The match ended with
the 17th halved.

have been host to the biggest
names. In addition to Snead,
Bobby Jones has played there,
Johnny Farrell. Gene Sarazen,
Ralph Guldahl, Jackie Burke
and many others. The assist
ants have included Toney Penna
and Lew Worsham.
Congressional originally had
a pair of par skies, the Ga
yard par six first and the 611-,
yard tenth. Both, to the de-
light Of the members, eventually
were broken up. The course
now measures 6.663 yards and
has a par of II. The records
recognized are taken from the
present course, excepting a few
minor changes in recent years.
Tommy Armour played the
course in SO when the 10th hole
still was par six. The fading
card of that round still is in
glass case just outside the mems
locker room.
But the unofficial record at
Congressional is an all-putts-
holed 81 by Cox in 1910, a round
in which he won exactly $1.25.
Witty was playing with Harry
Pitt, DR.. Robert A. Keilty and
the late George Brobeck.
AtOnes For Putting Errors.
Cox was out in "a that day on
the par 81 front nine despite two
three-putt greens. But on the
back nine he atoned for his
putting errors. He dropped a
25-footer for a birdie on the
10th, a 15-footer on the 18th and
birdied the par-5 18th after
reaching the green in two. Witty
followed with a 25-footer on the
14th, a 20-foot birdie putt on the
18th and then on the par-4, 364-
yard 18th he arched his second
shot, a nine-iron, into the cup
for an eagle 2.
That left him seven under par
for seven holes and he envisioned
a birdie on one of the finishing
holes, which are not too difficult.
Il remember as if it we're yester-
day." Cox said the other day. II
figured I could get at least one
birdie on the last two and shoot
a 27." But he missed 15-foot
birdie puts on both the 18th and
18th and had to be satisfied with
a 34-28, 81.

Another summer of confusion
in the areas schedule of golf
tournaments is in the making
because the Maryland, District
and Middle Atlantic Golf Asso-
Citations all are waiting for mid
die and late February dates for
their annual meetings.
Because of the delay in an
nouncing the master schedule,
some Of the clubs arbitrarily are
announcing tournament dates,
and this undoubtedly will make
for conflicts.
Columbia Country Club has in
formed the District area clubs by
letter that it will hold its annual
member-guest tournament the
last week in June. Congressional
Club, which has been holding it's
member-guest during that week,
now has announced June 1917
for qualifying and match play
June 1921. according to Tom
Wheeler, chairman of the golf
committee.
Congressional planned to hold
its tournament the second week
in June after learning of Colum-
bias dates, but Congressional al
ready had approved June 9-10-
II for the Women's Eastern
championship, a 54-hole medal
play tournament being held here
for the first time.
The Women's District Golf
Association, with 18 tournaments
to place in it's A, B. c and D
classes, is far behind in schedul-
ing because dates and sites of
the major events have not been
announced.

Women's S Amateur
Bans Shorts and Also
Eliminates Qualifying
BY the AsSoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Two
radical changes were made today
in the National Women's ANA
teur Golf tournament-there will
be no more qualifying rounds
and the players can no longer
wear shorts.
The United States Golf Asso-
citation, at its annual meeting,
announced that the 18-hole quail
flying round had been eliminated
from the 1858 tournament which
is scheduled August 24-29 at
West Darlington, r. I.
A poll of players showed the
women in favor of an all match
play tournament. 6-1.
Joe Dey, jr., executive secretary
of the USGA, also announced
that the Women's committee had
decided not to permit shorts to
be worn in USGA championships.
He didn't say why.
The golf executives also picked
the Olympic-at-Lakeside Club
in San Francisco as the site for
the 1855 National Open. This
years tourney is scheduled at
Oakmont. Pa, and the 1854 event
at Baltusrol. N. j.
It was announced that the
prize money in this years Open
will be redistributed so that the
winner will receive $4,000 in
stead of $4,000 and the last 80 of
the so money prizes will be in
creased from $100 to $3.50 each.
The total purse will be $4,000.
The Walker Cup team will not
be picked until spring, Dey said.
The team will meet the British
September As at Marion. Mass.
Amateur Rules Relaxed.
The USGA reelected Totten
P. Heffelfinger of Minneapolis
as president and also slightly
relaxed its amateur rules.
It was agreed that the college
faculty member who does not
make a living as golf profess
sional would be permitted to
teach the sport without endan-
gering his amateur status. Under
the old rules he was regarded as
a pro. Also. boys working in
golf shops would be permitted
to be classed as amateurs until
they reach the age of 81. The
age limit in the past was 18.
The association moved toward
a Nation-wid uniformity for de-
termining handicaps by adopting
a new system which will pro-
duce both basic and current ham
dicapS.
A basic handicap is designed to
show a players golf ability over
a considerable period. A current
handicap is designed to show the
at-the-moment state of his game.
Heretofore the association has
recommended basic handicaps
only. The new system embodies
the current handicap methods
of the Chicago District Golf AS
ISOLATION.
The following are the main
points:
/. Basic handicap will be COM
puted from the lowest 10 of the
players las so scores. When
fewer than so are available. 20
per cent of the available scores
will be used.
computed from the lowest 10 of
the players last Is scores. Pro-
visional handicapS may be made
when the player has turned in
more than six but fewer than
Is scores.
3. The new system will use a
handicap chart. based on figures
in the present Chicago District
Golf Association chart, making
use of differentials between
scores and course ratings.
4. Efforts will be made to de-
wise a uniform method for rat
ing eNurses. Until this time
plans now in effect may be used.

Catholic Teams Face
Possible Crisis Today
Over Dant Eligibility
By Bill Fuchs

The Metropolitan Catholic
League may meet a crisis today
and there's a possibility it may
not survive.
st. Anthony's is scheduled to
meet DeMatha in the first game
Of a basketball doubleheader at
2 pm. However, if Coach Jack
Bohne of the TONES sends Har-
vey Dapt into the game, Coach
Paul Galarneau of DeMatha
may pull his team off the floor.
Galarneau hasn't said so. In
fact, everyone connected with
the case is strangely silent. But
the report is out that If Dant
plays today, the league may col
lapse.
All Oppose Use of Dant.
All of st. Anthony's league op-
ponents have been against the
use of Dant. He was transferred
from Gonzaga because of aca-
demic difficulties there last year.
A league rule banned transfer
students from participating in
athletics, unless the Board Of
Directors ruled otherwise. The
board voted Dant ineligible on
two occasions, but last week. at
the insistence of the Very. Rev.
John S. Spence, director of ed
ucation of the Washington arch
diocese, the rule was changed
and Dant was made eligible.
Power to rule in cases of ELI
gibility also was taken from the
board which is made up of the
athletic director or moderator
md coach from each school. In
stead. two non-athletic members
from each school and repre-
sentative of the diocesan Board
of Education are to rule on ELI
gibilities.
So today. the matter is ex-
pected to reach a climax. Most
of the leagues coaches and ath-
letic directors are reported to
be behind any refusal to play
against the TONES with Dant in
the lineup.
Disapprove of Method.
Dant is a better-than-average
basketball player, but the mat
ter has gone beyond considera-
ton of him as an individual.
Most coaches are reported to
agree that the rule needed re-
vision. They do not approve the
method in which it was done.
One thing is certain: The
small DeMatha gym will be
crowded to overf1owing and in
the gathering will be the ath-
letic directors and coaches of all
the schools. Pastors and prin-
cipals also are expected to be on
hand.
If the first game is not played,
the second game also is expected
to be called off. That one
matches st. Paul'S against Car
roll.

Marine and Field Club in Brook
lyn when he was pro there.
Cox still holds other course
records, GA at Westchester in
the official amateur record. Bobby

ment two years ago. That's a

Bobby Brownell, eight-time
District amateur champion, holds

Bobby ripped off a 66 in the
qualifying for the member-guest
tournament two years ago. That's
a partner event, but partners
can't help 66s much and Brow
nelPs score was official and gave
him the medal. Col. Jimmy Will
son holds the unofficial amateur
mark, 81 in the same tourna-
ment another year. The case
that holds Armour's card in
cludes other unofficial 66s, two
by the late DR.. Howard Smith
and one by Parker Nolan.
Snead's round is low by only
a stroke. In addition to Brown
ellis 66, Jack Isaacs, the Mary
land Open champ, shot that
same score in a pro-member
tournament in which Cox was a
stroke back with 81.
Host To 2 National Journeys
Congressional has been host to
two national championships, the
IntercollegiateS in 1885 and the
USGA Junior in 1949, but neither
produced golf to threaten the
records.
The women'S record was set
only last fall by Mrs. Maurice
Click of Baltimore when she
won the 54-hole medal play
Payne Cup tournament in a
walk. Mrs. Clicks final round
on a blustery day was IA. That
climaxed great year in which
Mrs. Click won the Middle At
lantic, Maryland State, and Bal
timore City titles.
Three former national wom-
ems champions are co-holders of
the unofficial Women's mark,
Grace Lenczyk, Helen Hicks and
Beverly Hanson. They, along
with Pat O'Sullivan, boast 72s.
Congressional'S scores have
been made over some noted
holes. Tommy Armour always
has said the par three 18th
is one of the Nations great one
shot holes. The Middle At
lantic pros once voted the 10th
as the finest par 4 in the Mid
die Atlantic section.
Warner Gray. one of Cox's as
sistants, substantiated all of the
records uncovered by Cox and
Tom Wheeler, the Golf Commit
tee chairman. Warner caddied
as a 7-year-old when Congress
soinal opened it's gates, and ex-
cept for Navy duty has been
there ever since.
