For Bethesda in Rouf
OF Kenwood Golfers
By MerreII WhittIesey


Bethesda Country Club, which
Is believed to be the first to make
extensive use Of junior golfers in
the Maryland State team cham
pionship, Is finding its youth pro-
gram paying of.
Bethesda had four teen-agers
in it's lineup in its 1872 rout Of
Kenwood yesterday. the big sur
prise of the quarter final
matches. The match was con-
sidered a tossup but Bethesda
made it no contest, adding in
suit to injury by winning 8la
out Of a possible nine points in
the three matches played at
Kenwood.
Bethesda now meets Prince
Georges. 11-7 winner of Bonnie
View. in one semi-final. The
other will be between the last
Baltimore team. Country Club of
Maryland and Columbia. The
Country Club Of Maryland hand
lily defeated Chevy Chase, 12Ka-
5k. while Columbia SKINNED by
Manor. 9h-8h.
Bethesda High Schools Be-
man brothers, Deane and Del.
Dwight Mock, q University Of
Maryland freshman, and Jay
Randolph were the youngsters
in the Bethesda lineup and they
helped the wining team to eight
points.
The semifinal match between
Prince Georges and Bethesda
should be close, with Prince
Georges probably a slight favor
ite if both clubs have their best
men. However. Prince Georges
had unexpected difficulty in beat
ing Bonnie View only lit.
Baltimore's Country. Club of
Maryland corralled all Of its good
amateurs for the first time this
season and had little trouble
with Chevy Chase, which was
without its star amateur, Bobby
Brownell. Chevy Chase had con-
ISOLATION, however. when its top
team of Pro Ward Burgess and
Jim Flather scored an unexpect-
ed 21a-1a point triumph over
Andy Gibson and Eddie Meyer.
This was at Chevy Chase.
The Columbia Manor match
was so close that one of many
shots could have decided it. but
the payoff appeared to be on the
18th hole in match at Manor
between Martin Mccarthy and
Byrn Curtiss against George
Thornton and Jim Hunt of the
host club.
Thornton and Hunt could
have tied the match and forced
a playoff between the pro COM
binations with a bogey s on the
hole, or won it outright for
Manor with a par 4. They both
hit good drives but had trouble
from that point and both took
IS, losing to a bogey.
The best golf reported were
best ball 66s four under par at
Columbia. by Pro Clagett Ste
vens and Ben Hartig of Manor,
and the Columbia duo of Earl
Skinker and Col. Ken Smith.
Bob Wharton had an individual
SO at Manor Pro AL Houghton
and Gil Willett of Prince Georges
were 4 under par with a 68 best
ball over their home course.
