HOST cLUB.sTAR ON BIRDIE BINGE
Kerfoot Plays Overton
odoy in Invitation

CART and Del Beman in a play
Of. In the championship he lost
to Claude Wild in the second
round. He hasn't played in q
golf tournament since. Henry
had used up his eligibility with
the Deacons the previous year,
when he was captain of the golt
team.
The host club star is one Of
those youngsters with great
promise as a schoolboy, but
whose tournament golf for the
next four or five years was re-
stricted because of college work
He plans to enter business here
and should be a welcome addi-
ton to the golf scene.
Kerfoot's opponent today was
Spencer Overton. the perennial
threat from Baltimore. who
played a delicate approach shot
to the 18th green that sealed a
1-up victory over Jay Randolph
of Bethesda. the Southern Con-
ference champion.
Overton was too far on his
second and had a downhill shot
to a slippery green. The spec
tatorS seated around the club
overlooking the 18th green were
making the usual bets among
themselves that he couldn't get
down in two shots.
But the three-time Maryland
Amateur champion studied the
shot. played 1t carefully, and
stopped 1t within 3 inches Of the
cup.
Other second round matches
in the championship fight today
are Ralph Bogart. 1851 and "a

man Of Bethesda; Claude Wild,

misguided yen to hit the ball too
hard. You can remedy this by
hitting the bali within your
maximum power. depending on
how much body twist and hand
action you use to produce the
needed clubhead speed.
Skying the ball with the driver
results from teeing the ball too
high. You should tee it just
high enough to let the clubface

touching the ground. Tee it any
higher and you're in hot water.

Bowl-minded Navy, catapult-

2,000-Yeor Space Trips
Seen by Prof. Piccord

LAU Same, Switzerland.
Nov. 9 (P1.-Prof. Auguste Pic
card. famed SHAKESPEARE and
deep sea explorer, believes
space travellers of the future
will go on trips lasting several
thousand years and return to
earth without aging.
The 73-year-old Swiss told a
lecture audience here last night
that round trips to distant
solar systems will eventually
become possible in space ships
driven by the force of light. He
said they would travel near the
speed of light, l86,324 miles a
second.
Such machines will enable
man to reach a solar system,
say, 1000 light years away and
return to EARTH" Prof. Picard
said.
The journey would take 1000
years as measured on earth. he
said. but the travellers would
show and feel no trace of the
passage Of time.
only on landing would they
perceive that the earth's calen-
dar meanwhile advanced by
1000 years" he declared.
Everything in the space ship
will have been suspended and

ton. but strict reality, estab-
lished by Einstein's theory Of
relatively and now provable in
the laboratory"
Prof. Picard said immense
technical problems remain to
be solved. He said the fuel prob
lem is the main difficulty in
future space travel even within
our own solar system. He esti-
mated that with the fuels now
used. a rocket weighing 100
tons would be needed for a
round trip to the moon. TO
accumulate sufficient force with
conventional rocket fuels TO
leave our solar system. he said
a rocket measuring three cubic
miles would be needed.
such proportions are OBJ
viously absurd in practice, "
Prof. Picard said. land new
forms of energy will be indis-
pensable in the future"
Though the direct utilization
of nuclear energy is unlikely
in space travel. the conversion
of nuclear energy into light rays
seems theoretically possible.
Prof. Picard said. He predicted
this would enable a space ship
to reach Mars in 35 hours
Jupiter in four days and Saturn
In six days,
Even on these relatively short
trips. the travellers will be UNI
aware Of the passage of time.

a routine.
@. Is probable that the United States public is in
for additional shocks insofar as Russian scientific
progress is concerned? If what form do you believe
these shocks will take?
A. Yes, it is most likely that we are in for a few
shocks. With the powerful multi-stage rockets
they must have used to launch Sputnik H. the Soviets
have definite immediate capability to fire payload
of possibly over 100 pounds one-way trip to the
moon With just trf1e more speed the top stage of
their rocket would permanently leave the earths grav

Another possible surprise they may have in store
for us is manned ascent into orbit with ensuing
return and recovery previously explained 1t is hard
to predict which of the many possibilities along these
lines the Russians will come up with next But there
be doubt that the first successful conquerors
of outer space the Sovets reap whole bunch
of easy fruits
@. Is it possible for the United States to launch
satellite with the military hardware available?
What is this hardware and what could it do?
A. Yes But any further comment in this regard
would have to from the Department of Defense.
Q. What can be done by the United States to
achieve superiority in the satellite and missile fields?
How long do you estimate it will take?
A. Before we can achieve superiority in these fields

you can't do it with money

The Louisiana Senator. who
returned last week from an ex-
tensive trip that included 33
days in Russia, did not discuss
the Presidents proposal. He
explained he has not had suffi-
cient time to study the overall
problem.
He said he is inclined to be-
lieve "the Russians are behind
us in missile development" in
general. He emphasized. how
ever, that the problem of get
ting ahead or staying ahead of
the Russians is not one of
money or isolated crash pro-
grams. He stressed the need for
coordination. direction and
unification and long-range
measures to develop and retain
scientific talent.

Before making these COM
ments at news conference in
his Capitol Office, Senator
Ellender reported to the Presi-
dent at the White House on
