Another letter bearing the

This Is an indication Of his

siderable time-all golfers are

He believes the bug that

Of the Maryland SGA vice

NOTES-Deane Beman has
q dinner party scheduled for
tonight at Congressional to
help celebrate his National
Amateur victory and he's
having another Tuesday at the
Aviation Club In the Hotel
Washington. 1t should be at
least as gratifying as the one

USGA executive director, will
visit Congressional again with

plans for the 1864 National
Open. The entire Congressional
course was overseeded with
bent grass the latter part Of

lush fairways for the Open
next June.
