a hat. mixes well. and draws
the names out one by one, there
are bound to be some strange
Ipairings.
That's the way the draw was
made for the National Amateur
championship that starts Mon
day at the Country Club Of vir-
ginia in Richmond.
Ali pairings were hat-drawn
after the five members Of the
Walker Cup team who qualified
were distributed throughout the
draw.
Last Monday night at the Sub
urban Club in Baltimore Ralph
Bogart of Chevy Chase stopped
en- route 10 the shower to say
something to Frank Michalek Of
Mount Pleasant. another Of the
successful qualiflers.
After the brief conversation
Bogart said. Good luck In the
tournament, Frank" and Micha-
lex replied. Same to YOU" So
what happens? They meet In
the first round Monday morning
at Richmond at 1880.
Twelve minutes later Jack
Rountree Of Bethesda and Bill
Cole of Baltimore. two more Of
the qualif1ers at Suburban, will
have a go at it. The above four
are in the same half Of the Sec
Iond quarter of the draw with
Perky Cullinane and Gerry Nc
Ferren. Through strength in
numbers, the Mid-Atlantic area
stands a fair chance Of produc-
ing a quarter-finalist from this
bracket.
And how about Tom Pritch-
ards luck, or lack Of it, in the
blind draw? Pritchard is the
i240-pounder from Congressional
who has been playing golf just
Ia couple of years. although some
what longer than has been
printed.
He dumbfounded everybody
including himself. by qualifying
for the Amateur in his first crack
So his first-round opponent is
Bob Sweeny. last years runner
up. And If Pritchard should
continue his amazing rise in the
game and beat Sweeny, guess
who his second-round opponent
will be? Only Willie Turnesa
National Amateur champion in
1888 and '48 and the British
Amateur titlist in 1947.
And for a coincidence, five OF
the amateurs who qualified in
the Virginia trials at Hermitage
are packed in the last dozen
names in the third quarter OF
the draw. Wynsol Spencer is
Virginia's big hope for the title,
and If he wins his first match
he plays Jack Muther. who like
Spencer, qualified at Hermitage,
Tom Strange of Virginia
Beach plays Tim Holland. who
led the Metropolitan New York
qualifiers, and the winner plays
Harry Easterly of Richmond.
This could be an all-Virginia
second round match because
Holland is running the $4,000
tournament in New Jersey this
week. and hardly will be at for
tournament golf the day after
the Calvalcade of Golf is over
Sunday.

old from Hampton, Va, and
Randolph Macon College, is

Hectic Life
On ACC Tour !
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star star Correspondent

ny MEhhELL WhlIIAESEx
Star star CORRESPONDENT
RALEIGH, N. c.. Sept. Its
been grits with the South Caro-
lima team at sunup, lunch with
Clemson's bruising football team,
q whopping roast beef dinner at
noon with North Carolina State
the next day. and chicken with
Duke today on Operation Foot
ball Acc" a flying tour Of the
Atlantic Coast Conference by 81
sports writer's and RADIO and Tv
men.
There's been transportation by
commercial liner. a chartered
plane, autos. station wagons and
chartered buses and a schedule
so tight that the morning phone
call comes mighty soon after bed
time.
The five-day swing through the
eight conference schools con-
tinues today with a 8 o'clock bus
ride to Wake Forest, practice
and then lunch with the Deacons.
Then comes q 32-mile ride to
Chapel Hill for practice and then
dinner with North Carolina.
Visit Terps Tomorrow
Tomorrow there's a 7 o'clock
call and another chartered fight
to Charlottesville. Practice and
lunch with the Cavaliers. then
plane again to Baltimore's
Friendship Airport. From there
to College Park for practice,
dinner with the Maryland team,
a quick trip through the new
field house, then an interview
with the Maryland coaches at
the Dupont Plaza Hotel. =
The trip has included a ses-
sion with Wilburn Clary, one of
the ACES top officials. who
drove 900 miles to explain some
1855 changes.
A general report to date could
say there is ample manpower at
all stops, surprising confidence,
general curiosity on the part of
the players at being spied on by
so many sleepy eyes and coll
lection Of well-fed squads.
Also there's no set pattern.
South Carolina starts earliest,
with first practice at 6 am. The
Gamecocks also have more hol-
Ter than any of the other schools.
They go back at 4.
Ice Cream q Reward
There's more of q country
high school atmosphere at Glenn
son, which works at Z am. and
4 pm. North Carolina State,
because of five night games,
works at 8 am. and tbs pm.
The State squad gets a pint of
ice cream after night practice.
Duke works at 9 am. and $40
pm. Some of the schools who
do not work as early as South
Carolina, Clemson and Maryland
figure that the early practice is
too much out of line with the
way a boy lives. The ones that
work early do 1t to escape the
heat.
To date Coach Rex Enright at
South Carolina has given the
smoothest speech, Frank Howard
at Clemson the funniest, Earle
Edwards at North Carolina State
a practical evaluation, and Bill
Murray at Duke his usual eau
tious one.
The football players stand one
by-one and are introduced to the
press. Then Commissioner Jim
Weaver makes a talk to the play
ers observing the rules. The
coaches have been sticking
around for a long question and
answer session.
Operation Football ACC made
Its biggest hit with the players
at Duke because the coaches
had to meet the press at a ight
session. the boys were excused
from a meeting, and actually
cheered the tourists.

By james 6. Deone

Commissioner Renah F. Cama-
lier said today he is certain the
city heads win give every con-
sideration to the need for addi-
tional classes for retarded Dis
trict public school pupils.
Mr.. Camalier said he agrees
with school officials that elimina-
tion of extra teachers for re-
tarded pupils from the pending
budget is tragic. He pointed out,
however, that the deletion was
caused by the Districts difficult
financial situation.
On Sunday The Star disclosed
that more than 100 apparently
retarded children now are in
regular classes, rather than sep-
arate classes school officials feel
they should have.
Asked for IS Teachers.
The Board of Education in its
appropriation request for the
fiscal year beginning next July
asked for IS new teachers for
retarded classes, along with 80
other teacher specialists, mostly
for the handicapped. The item.
totaling $225,l55, was turned
down by the Commissioners.
Mr.. Camalier in a statement
said:
prior to the submission Of
the budget to the Board of Com
missioners covering school ac-
tivities, attended several con-
ferences relative to certain
phases of the school program.
