Former Walker Cup players,
led by Bill Campbell and Bill
Hyndman, led the way yester-
day as all but three berths
were filled in qualifying tests
for the National Amateur golf
championship at Des Moines,
September Ola
Thirty-six hole competition
at q scattered sites built the
amateur field to 197-with
three more to be added today
as the Florida sectional COM
pleteS three days of Nation
wide qualifying. OF the final
field of 200, 26 drew exemp-
tons, including defending
champion Labron Harris of
Enid, Okla.
Campbell, five times a mem
Der of United States Walker
Cup teams, turned in the fin
est performance, firing rounds
Of SO and Sc for a nine-under-
par total Of 1876 at his home
course in Huntington, W. Va.
Hyndman, long a top amateur
but like Campbell never a Ma
tional Amateur winner, showed
he's on top of his game with a
sizzling course record IS at the
Concord Country Club in Phila-
delphia. Coupled with his 70
in the morning round, Hynd-
man had a 1873 total-low for
his area-in qualifying for the
tournament for the seventh
time.
Jimmy Gabrielsen, a Uni
verSity of Georgia student who
spent the summer working in
a pro shop in Rochester, N. Y,
matched Campbell's 1876 in the
Rochester qualifier but his
score came on a par 10 course
compared to the par 70 at
Campbell's diggings.
In addition to Campbell and
Hyndman, ex-Walker Cupper;
Bob Gardner, Jim jackson, Bob
Cochran and Charlie Smith
also made the grade as all the
name players who were re-
quired to qualify made the final
list.

Washington born and bred,
Looney has not been golf born
and bred. AS BELTS one of Irish
ancestry, his first love was box
ing. Not that he was ever con-
Sidered a threat to win an
Olympic title, but he was at
least one of the namelesS horde
who helped raise funds to send
our heroes to Berlin in 1895.
I've been in boxing since
1882" Looney said, with the
boys clubs and with the AAU.
And I took an amateur team
to Ireland after World War II"
This was just before he took
a lively interest in golf and
became chairman of the Prince
Georges Golf Committee in
1916. Since then he's been the
hub of the clubs tournaments
and last year began to branch
out by running some of the
Middle Atlantic PEA tourna-
mentS.
He had some time on his
hands, because he retired from
the Nays oceapographic de-
partment in 1861 at the age of
SIS, and this helped to keep him
busy and smooth a financial
hurdle caused by the serious
illness Of Mrs. Looney after
Jerry had peen retired for six
months.
Jerry is moving to Denver to
be near his daughter and his
three grandchildren, but be-
fore too long he also figures
to be near the pulse Of Denver
golf activities.
IT hope to get into golf in
Denver" he said. Several
Prince Georges members have
connections out there and
they've written about me. I'll
miss Washington, Of course.
I've lived here all my life and
I have a son and a new grand
son here. 4
But my daughter lives only
a mile and a half from Cherry
Hills Country Club. That's
quite a golf course, I hear"

Alouettes third game Of the
season last week.
Cassidy, 30, a six-year NFI
veteran with Detroit, Cleveland
and the Eagles, played II
games with Philadelphia as 6
split end last season before he
was sidelined with a broken
right leg.
He has played only a few
minutes in Philadelphia ex-
hibitions this season and his
release apparently means that
Baylor rookie Ronnie Goodwin
has won the job.
Both Leagues Cutting
Cassidy was the best known
player to get the ak as the
NIL and American Football
League made cuts, the NIL
teams cutting their rosters to
43. the AFL to 80.
I Actually, the rosters will re-
main in q state of flux at least
until the week end, because
teams have 48 hours to claim
any player put on waivers.
Should a player be claimed, his
parent team has another 40
hours to recall him.
Players placed on waivers
with an injured notation, if
claimed, can be recalled to
their original team but can't
be activated for a minimum of
four weeks.

Latimer Leads
FaIteringFour'
Into Amateur
By ROBERT SOMMERS
Star Staff Writer

Those four dazed creatures
who stumbled off Sparrows
Point Country Clubs golf
course near Baltimore yester-
day with entree to the National
Amateur don't refer to them
selves as qualifierS.
They call themselves she'll
shocked survivors of perhaps
the highest scoring qualifying
test in the Nation and certainly
the most brutal in this area in
years.
The 154'S-10 over par-Shot
by Dick Latimer of Columbia
and Sheldon Blades of Easton
led the 38-man field in the &c.
hole test, with Jack Doser of
the WaShingtonian Country
Club and Jimmy O'Fara of the
Country Club of Maryland next
at 155.
Des MOines Next Stop
They will join Deane Be-
man, the 1860 National cham
pion, and Fred Mueller of
Manor in the Amateur Septem-
Der ola at the Wakonda Club
in Des Moines, Iowa. AS a for
mer champion, Beman was eX-
empt from qualifying and Muel-
Ter won a place in Portland,
Greg. Monday with 148.
Yesterdays qualifying round
was more impressive because Of
the players who didn't make
it than those who did. Ralph
Bogart of Chevy Chase failed
miSerably with 83-S3-166 and
Claude Wild of Burning Tree
shot 159.
OF the four who made 1t
only Latimer was considered
among the favorites, and he
almost blew it, even though he
shot rs in the morning, the
best score of the first round.
He needed Al blows to nego-
tiate the front nine Of the
6,848-yard par 36-36-72 course
in the afternoon and took SO
coming back for 70.
Latimer, who played the
front nine In one-under-par IS
in the morning, was even par
after the first three in the
afternoon, but then bogied five
of the next six holes to make
the turn in Al. He pulled his
game together somewhat COM
ing back and bogied only two
holes.
A 33-year-old insurance
salesman, Latimer will be play
ing in his second National
Amateur. He qualified last
year in his first attempt, but
lost in the first round to Dick
Martinez of California. !
Survives Rocky Start
Doser, 24-year-old son of the
Washingtonian pro, also is
playing in his second Amateur.
He qualified in 1858.
Doser survived the rockiest
start Of any Of the qualifiers.
He was eight over par on the
front nine, but played the
next q holes in a mere three
over. He shot even par SO on
the back nine to finish the
first round with 80 and then
turned in a 38-37-75 in the
afternoon.
TIL biggest surprise of the
qualifier was O'Hara. the only
man in the field able to match
par for one round. Jimmy shot
83 In the morning and all but
kissed his chances Of qualifying
goodbye. But he plugged away
in the afternoon and almost
broke par.
O'Hara, 20. admitted later
that this is only the second time
he's ever qualified for any kind
of a tournament.
And II OHara was the most
surprising, then Blades was the
most surprised. At Al the old
est Of the qualifiers. Blades
didn't start playing golf until
he was 80 in 1854 and only
reached a level Of proficiency
that started him thinking about
such tournaments three years
ago. He shot 78-76-l54.

ment does not burden but helps
the free flow of interstate COM
merce. Discrimination in hiring is
one of the chief shackles on our
free enterprise economy. Any
steps towards insuring that the
best person for job gets that
job contributes to the efficiency of
our economy, rather than burdens
it."
| The Attorney General said the
case has "the gravest Importance
to fair employment in Minnesota.
If the decision of the Colorado
court is allowed to stand, a large
segment of Minnesota's citizens
those who seek employment OF
promotion in interstate commerce
will be deprived of the protec-
ton our legislature intended them
to have under our. State Acts
Against Discrimination" Mondalt
said, These people cannot look tt
the federal government for pro
lection against discriminatory EN-
ployment since legislation has re
peatedly failed to pass the Con
gress. Thus, they will be deprivet
of a basic right in a free-enter

"a. The union referred to by Rev.
johnson is the church and oneself.
What is ones state? Do we see
faults in others and not In our
selves? We must examine our
mind, body and spirit. Three OBJ
servations were: 1. What kind OF
thinking faculties do we have?
Clear or cloudy. We would be bet
ter off not to have such a perfect
memory but be satisfied with the
spirit Of God. The church Is COM
posed of people who would be
much better off If they were born
Of the spirit Of God and body OF
our Lord Jesus Christ. 2. In our
physical bodies, is it a clean vessel
for God to be in? 8. Our spirit
or soul, which Is our hearts must
be kept pure. If we can truthfully
answer yes to these questions then
the State Of the Union Is good.

good but, the truth alone is not
enough, we must also know the
motive behind the truth. (3)
Friend, or Antagonism - this
has worked well when the other
two strategies fail. In conclusion:
the congregation were reminded to
put on the armor of faith in a
God who is able to keep us through
the ministry of his angels who
have their job to do both on earth
and in heaven"
