EGE A naoe: VICTOR MAY CLAIM RUNNER - UP HONORS TO VIRGINIA VAN WIE Helen Hicks, Opal S. Hill and| Maureen Orcutt Are Outstanding COURSE RECORD IN DANGER Field Includes Many Lesser- Known Stars Who Might Score Upset Miami, Fla, Jan. 31.—The battle for runner-up honors in the world of ‘womens golf will begin here Feb. 5. ‘When the Miam!-Biltmore women’s invitation tournament ends four days later, one of three fair club swingers will rank second to Virginia Van Wie, queen of the nation’s golfers. The three contestants are Helen Hicks, Hewlett, L. I.; Mrs. Opal S. Hill, Kansas City, Mo. and Maureen Orcutt, White Beaches, N. J. xk * Miss Hicks was national champion 4m 1931, and is generally regarded sec- ond to Miss Van Wie in U. S. rank- ings. Mrs. Hill is defending cham- pion in the tournament, having won the first leg on the Grace Doherty challenge cup last year. Miss Orcutt 4s a dangerous golfer who shoots in the 70's. ‘With these three competing, the course record of 84, set two years ago by Mrs. Ernest Hogarth of Lorain, ., is in danger. Last year Mrs, Hill shared medal honors with Mrs. Es- telle Drennan of Tulsa, Okla., with a round of 88. But with Helen and) Maureen to press her, this veteran | ‘who gauges her game by the class of opposition may bear down to shoot under 80. zee Of course, some candidate may rise from the ranks to overthrow the fav- orites. She may be one of the fol- Jowing linkswomen who will make the rounds: Mrs. Tom Wallace, Sapulpa, Okla.; Mrs. John Arends, Detroit; Bea Gott- lieb, the New Yorker who beat the Prince of Wales last year; Ariel Vilas, Chicago: Mrs. Art Millea, Mount Kis- co, N. Y.; Mrs. J. J. Lannon, Boston. Winner of this meet is expected to be chief competitor of Virginia Van ‘Wie when the 1934 women’s national tournament rolls around this sum- mer.
