said .Nothin'.o If I'm not mis-
taken. that's an old Sam Snead
truiSm.
The book points out that 90
shooters often aim at the pin
with q brassie. while Burke aims
at the pin only. with a wedge.
He suggests that If an average
golfer is undecided between q
four or five iron for a shot and
decides to play an in-between
shot. the player would be much
better of to take either the four
or five and hit 1t full. That way
he has $3.50 chance OF the
shot coming of. If he tries to
be cute and play a half shot, the
average golfer has no chance.
Burke claims the average golf
er should ignore the scorecard
and create his own par. some
thing that Witty Cox was harp
ing on, before Burke was caddy-
ing. That's the way Cox and
Burke agree a golfer can best
enjoy his game.
Jack claims a club should not
be held any tighter than a book
you're reading. or tighter than
when q player takes a club from
the caddie. He says it's a major
myth that VS. formed by the
thumb and index fingers should
point toward the right shoulder.
They should not, he writes, un-
less you have extremely large
hands.
And Burke debunks this bust
ness that a golfer should be
ashamed to use a putter from
of the green, or a Texas wedge
as the pros call it. From a tight
lie that's often the shot, even
though it's often distracting to
the opponent, as it was to Dali
Rees when Burke beat him in q
Ryder Cup match by putting
from Is yards off the green.
Burke borrows a crack from
Lloyd Mangrum in pointing out
that many Of today's good put
tiers are jabbers more than
strokers. Once Mangrum hit a
three-foot putt that hung on
the lip for a frantic moment
before it dropped in. His OPP
ponent remarked it was a "slop-
py looking stroke. which Man
grum didn't deny. But without
removing the cigarette from his
lips, Mangrum cracked, Are we
playing how. or how many?"

While speaking OF Killebrew's
prowess, Senator Welker at one
point said he had great respect
for the speed of Mickey Mantle
Of the Yankees, but I'd like to
see him matched with Harmon

Naturally at the Touchdown
Club the talk got around to foot
ball, and it was brought out that
killebrew was some shucks as a
player in high school. He was q
running, passing and kicking
quarterback, and had scholar
ship offers from a number of
major colleges.
In basketball, he was second
high scorer In his high school
conference, with $40 points In

batted over 400 in baseball, and
was q member Of his schools

Harry Griesmer could win the
Maryland Open next week if he
can shoot something close to par
in Fridays Pro-Amateur at
Columbia Country Club. The
tournaments are not related,
except to Griesmer.
Harry won the State Open In
1916, but when other triumphs
didn't follow in a hurry he lost
confidence. Since then he mas
played numerous good rounds,
but seldom two straight.
Now he has two good rounds
in a row, a par II in the pro
sweepstakes at HagerStown last
Friday, and a one-under-par 50
over his home Bethesda course
yesterday, best of q seasons
record field Of 81 pros and 1872
amateurs in a pro-am event.
If Griesmer can keep his
streak rolling at Columbia, he'll
be in wonderful mental state
for the State Open Monday and
Tuesday at Manor.
Griesmer Only Par Breaker.
Griesmer, last player of the
course, was the only par breaker
at Bethesda. His drive hit a tree
on the 18th hole and left him
with a three-iron shot to the
green, where most Of the other
pros had been using wedges. But
Harry hit a great long iron shot
IL feet from the stick and cozied
the ball close for his So.
He had to have 1t to beat
Andy Gibson, the Baltimore pro
who won the pro sweeps last
year at Bethesda with a SO, and
Clarence Doser, the Woodmont
pro who had his third straight
par round or better and fourth
in his last five area starts.
The surprising angle Of the
day was that 81 pros turned out
after q three-day holiday week
end. which left most of them
exhausted. OF course, the 5000
added to the pro sweeps was an
incentive. but Griesmer saw to
it that most Of that stayed at
home.

Borfner, Coss Clash
Today in Feature Of
Mid-Anantic Tennis
By Casper Nonnes

Two young college stars will
meet in the quarterfinal round
Of the Middle Atlantic clay court
tennis championships today in
what should prove to be one Of
the best matches of the tourna-
ment.
Bobby Bortner Of Richmond,
19-year-old University Of North
Carolina sophomore. will seek to
continue his upsetting ways
when he meets top-seeded Tim
Coss of Swarthmore College at
8 pm. on the Edgemoor Club
courts.
Bortner provided the major
upset of the tournament Mon
day by beating fifth-seeded Don
Plat Of Canada. and yesterday
ousted Hugh Lynch, for years
one Of Washington's ranking
stars, after a three-set tussle,
81, rs, 81.
Hettleman Meets Thackara.
Another feature contest, at 4
pm, will match fourth-seeded
Buzzie Hettleman of Baltimore
and Jim Thackara, one-time
Middle Atlantic titleholder, seed
ed seventh. Last year, Hettleman
had Thackara at match point in
the seminal round, but de-
faulted to play in the Mems
National Grasscourt champion
ships. Hettleman reached the
uuarterfinals by beating Harrison
Straley of Richmond. 60, 6-3,
and Thackara won from Bob
Cage, GO, 6-3.
The match between Lynch and
Bortner was even until the third
set. when the former Princeton
star lost his edge. In the first
set Lynch used his forehand and
cagey placements to offset the
stronger service and harder
backhand Of the Richmond
player. Bortner had q chance to
take this set when he led, 45,
1910, on Lynch's delivery, but
the latter made a fine volley to
deuce the game. He then went
on to win the set.
When, Lynch ran up q AZ lead
in the second set it seemed he
had the match in hand. But his
opponent changed tactics at this
point and concentrated on keep
ing the ball in play, drawing
Lynch up to the net and passing
him. Bortner broke through
Hugh's delivery and then took a
"a lead. Lynch made a stand
at this point and won his service,
but lost the set 8-6. The WASH
ington star was tired in the third
set and could take only one game
from his younger opponent.
Floyd Extends Coss.
Coss had his hands full with
Don Floyd yesterday winning in
three sets, Us, SIS, e.. Both
men are steady backcourt play
ers who occasionally venture to
the barrier. In the final set Coss
had little more sting to his
backhand and volleys, and that
provided the edge.

Louise Brown, the Canadian star,
In a weN-played contest, Ga,

pion had too much tournament
experience for hs1 opponent.
