Charles Bassler, who was
shunted to third place in the
Middle Atlantic pro tournament
ratings last year after two sea-
sons on top, has regained COM
mand after that brilliant four
under-par 66 yesterday at Wash
ington Golf and Country Club.
Despite a 79 at Kenwood early
in the season, the worst score
he has turned in since he broke
in as a pro at Chevy Chase
Club, the star from Rolling
Road in Catonsville, Md, leads
the sectional pros in averages
with 72.4 per round among those
who have competed in a ma
jority of the tournaments.
BaSsler was medalist in the
National PGA qualifying, quail
fled for the National Open but
forfeited his place, won the pro
sweepstakes at his home club
and Washington, and tied at Be-
thesda.
It was windy and still damp
at Washington yesterday and
only four pros in a near-record
field Of 81 shot par or better.
But Charley had six brides and
went over twice in his round
which was just two shots of the
competitive course-record "a
owned BY Claude Wild.
Kerfeot Provides Help
Bassler and Henry Kerfoot,
the latter with only one handi-
cap stroke. put together a best
ball of 81. Kerfoot made use of
his stroke for q net birdie on a
hole where Bassler went over.
He pared the two holes Bassler
missed, and helped with another
birdie for the lowest best-ball
score for two top golfers in
some time.
The SO by Kerfoot. an upcom-
ing senior at Wake Forest, was
tremendous, considering h e
knocked a ball out Of bounds on
the 9th for a 2-stroke penalty.
Kerfoot, who will be out of
golf for six weeks this summer
on an ROTC assignment. is
awaiting word as to whether
Wake Forest will send him to
the National Intercollegiates
next week Wake Forests con-
ference baseball champions have
gone so far in the NCAA play
offs that they're testing the
Deacons' post-season budget.
While Henry isn't wishing the
baseball team any hard luck, he
hopes it leaves a little in the
school treasury.
Gibson Second at 68
Andy Gibson of the c. c. Of
Maryland in Baltimore, who took
some tips from bis fellow pros
from Scotland in the Interna-
tional golf championships at
Columbia. had SO, but was only
second best to Bassler. Johnny
Musser of AL View had his Sec
ond best round Of the year. a
SO, a figure matched by Norfolk's
Harold Oatman, who had II pars
and a long putt for a birdie 8
on the 10th.
Hubert Hoffman Of the host
club had 70 minus is handicap
for a net So to top the amateurs.
He was followed by Leon Rosin
of Rock Creek with 79-13-66.
Kerfoot's SO was low by three
strokes in the amateur sweeps.

A story about q mother lion
was related by the Rev. John g.
Watson. The story runs like
this:
"One day q sailing vessel
landed on the coast Of Africa.
and some Of the sailors went in
land to cut, wood. A certain
sailor was apart from the others
when q Foness sprang to q posi-
ton at his feet.
After looking up at his face.
the beast walked to q nearby
tree. On q limb Of that tree. the
sailor caught sight Of o baboon
clutching two lion cubs.
Striking with his az, the sailor
cut down the tree. The lioness
sprang on the baboon and slew
It. The Cubs then ran 10 their
mother.
The Rev. Mr.. Watson did not
say that he saw the event. or
talked with the sailor. Very likely

Against Mr.. Dale's contract Of

the Jack OF spades. Mr.. Dale
won with the queen. He saw
that II he could win either three
diamond tricks or four clubs. he
would make his game.
But the important thing was
to keep Mr. Abel out Of the
lead. as a spade return by him
through the king-six would prob
ably mean defeat.
Mr.. Dale decided to 60 after
the diamond suit first, but he
didn't lead a diamond from his
own hand. He went over to
dummy with the king Of clubs
and returned the four Of dia-
inonds. Mr.. Abel could have
worried him a little by putting up
the nine spot although the final
result would have been the
same.

But with his miserable hold

returned the five Of hearts on

In this hand there was actual

in with the third round of dia-
Ynonds as he had only a double

There are so many children that

which has been postponed be-
cause of difficulties Of both fl
nances and getting adequate
teachers. The youth group is very

"a In South Africa, under the

Cyrus Weller, Liberal Judaism
has grown from four members in
1888 to more than 5000 today.
When Rabbi Weller first went to
johannesburg, only four people
were brave enough to face Ortho-
dox scorn and meet with him.
Today there are nine congrega-
tions firmly rooted in the main
cities of South Africa. An admir-
able school system has been es-
tablished. The Sisterhood carries
on many social service projects
for the natives, etc. In 1888 when
Liberal Judaism began, Rabbi
Weller met vigorous opposition
from the Orthodox community
who heckled his early services
and saw that no Jewish hall
would be rented to the group. The
World Union had guaranteed in
1888 his maintenance for six
months and passage back to the
United States If he failed to gam
a foothold in South Africa. Within
three years the congregation had
grown large enough to build
Temple Israel in 1886, Temple
Shalom in 1946, and Temple
Emanuel in 1854 in the city of
johannesburg, plus six other con-
gregations started by r b b i
