Spring goes after one of the
few titles he hasn't won in this
area when he tees off tomorrow

The way Bassler has been 60
ing he looks as if he'll be hard
to beat. He's finished on top
IN five Middle Atlantic PGA
tournaments and came close to
winning the Eastern Open
against many of the top tour
ing pros.
His principal challenger could
be Dick Whetzle of Woodholme.

also has been going good. Be-
sides winning the State Open.
Whetzle set a course record SIS
at Manor in the National Open
qualifier and won a couple of
pro-amateur events.
Clarence DoSer of the WASH
ingtonian Country Club is al
ways tough and Emery has
been most effective when the
price has been right. He won
the pro-amateur at Belair with
a $500 first prize and finished
third in the pro-amateur at
East Potomac last Monday. al
