playing So holes through

to be muggy.
But once Brownell gets a goli
stick in his hands he still has
the urge. He pounded out a two

round yesterday despite several
puts that stopped on the Lip

Bobby has all the shots Manor
requires. He has pet ways OF

strokes yesterday, with Del Be-

Manor never has played easier
The course is pleasantly soft

rough was cut to fairway level
before the tournament, for some

One of the surprises of the
tournament was the failure of
Baltimore's Eddie Johnston to
qualify. He also missed out in
the recent Maryland Amateur.
Johnston has been one of Balti-
