Quarterback
ANSWER

4. Punt. No! A touchdown IA
vorite doesn't have to give up
the ball here. Especially with
a kick from regular punt for
nation.
3. Trap. Against a tough $50
defense, it would likely pro-
duce small yardage. .
2. Quick kick. Excellent de-
tense to quick kick against.
/. Pass down middle. Best
choice. The 6-3-2 defense is
weak against a pass with
three deep receivers. With

afford to gamble with a pass
which could go all the way.

Puts Character in Course

Witty Cox, host pro to the
Celebrities golf tournament,
knew what he was talking about
when he said he put some char
acter into the back nine by
adding four new tees and about
$50 yards.
Before the tees were added,
the back nine was a breeze after
the 18th hole. The 18th was
almost a cinch birdie for good
players, the 18th was not too
hard a par 3, and the last four
were birdie holes.
Cox made the 18th more diff
f1cult with a new back tee, made
it impossible to reach the 18th
in two shots and added a tee on
No. II that turned it into the
most deceptive hole on the
course, demanding pin-point &C.
curacy from the tee.
Twenty-Five of the contest
ants went over par on the 18th
yesterday, Chandler Harper TAX
ing s and Ivan Gantz z. Twenty
seven went over on the 18th.
However the toughest hole was
the par 3 second, which most
were playing with spoons, and
where 80 of the n went over par.
The par breakers were SO I'M
der par on the parse front nine
and only IL under on the par-35
back, and 10 of those II strokes
were Bis by Dick Mayer and Bud
Holscher. The title will be won
or lost on the back nine.
There was considerable talk
that the courses tough par 3
holes would determine the cham
pion. AS an example of how
deceptive they can be. Doug Ford
played them in two under par
yesterday and Tommy Bolt in six
over par.
1t probably was the first tour
nament in some time in which
nobody shot 80. The highest
scores were 78s by Art Wall and
Eddie Joseph. Al Besselink was
the only player to pick up and
he would have had less than so
had he turned in his score.

Brownel are having their best
year against top competition

only two reasons for not SEN

he said, was that Ginn's victim
was not harmed.
The other, the jurist told
CHM, was that you are unable
to control your impulses and

IT wouldn't be any place else
but at Mckinley next year for all
the money in the world" DR..
Bish told the students. He pre-
dicted the addition of Negro stu
dents, by swelling the schools
enrolment, will enable it to be-
come a better school.
He also suggested that the COL
ored students be received in the

added that it would probably be
harder for the newcomers to adj

The principal said Mckinley
now is slated to enroll about 430

also predicted the high school
would acquire some Negro teach
ers. The changeoyer win give
the school about a third colored
pupils in the fall and will mean
mixed classes, DR.. .Bish said.

Some will be transfers from

others, previously scheduled to
go to Armstrong, will enter from
the city's 10 colored Junior highs.
