. ’ SPORTS. MAY G0 PLACES - INU.S. AMATELR Eight Capital Entries Al Have Experience Enough to Be Formidable. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ! VERY one of the eight local | lads who will go to Cleveland | to play in the national ama- | teur championship for Law- son Little's crown Rext month has had | ample experience to go well in the | simon-pure classic. Three of them are | .tried veterans, men who have gone far | in the tournaments around Washing- | ton, while the other five have had ex- | perience enough to go directly into | oMmatch play in the big tournaments without any sign of nerves. But,| strangel yenough, for all of them the coming title joust will be the first match play experience in a national‘ championship. | Here is the dope on the boys who | qualified: Levi Yoder, Indian Spring, the local | leader in the medal rounds. Qualified in his second attempt, after failing | at Five Farms last year. Winner of the Manor tourney and a semi-finalist in the Middle Atlantic. | Roger Peacock, Indian Spring. Twice | Maryland champion, winner of most | of the tournaments around Washing- ton, a match player of the first water | but & lad who has bad rounds, caused | by indifferent putting. Peacock will| be making his second appearance in | big-time golf. Qualified in 1933, but failed to get in match play. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. Local Angler Lands Prize Pitt Has Possibilities.

The kid wonder of 1925 and 1926, Hufty won the North and South championship in the latter year and subsequently won a couple of local invitation tournaments. Hufty's weak- ness is putting, but if he finds the greens at Cleveland to his liking he can go well. And if he regains the keenness of his younger days he will take a lot of licking. # All in all they are a bunch of good golfers, but the familiar faces of last year are missing. Not one of the brave band who traveled to Brookline, Mass., for the 1934 championship will be in there this year. Perhaps this year's qualifiers will do better than those of last year, for Martin Mec- Carthy’s advance to the third round vin 1934 was es far as the local en- trants got.

EORGE VLK is one of the hes in the will be a lot of help to Tulsa. I surely am sorry to lose him.” This from Arthur J. Bergman, head foot ball coach at Catholic University, in announcing the resignation of his tant of the last three years, who has joined the staff of Gloomy Gus Henderson, colorful coach of the Golden Hurricane of Tulsa University. Bergman will not fill the vacancy immediately. Vik's principal reason for leaving Catholic University was to accept a job in a Tulsa oil irm owned by his father-in-law. This and the coaching position can be handled jointly. Vik, a graduate of Notre Dame, played on Knute Rockne's undefeated Ramblers of 1930, a team which Rockne considered his best. He de- veloped a number of star flankmen at Catholic University, notably Vinnie Fraatz and Red Fleming, among the best in Cardinal history. In Tulsa's colorful style of foot ball the ends are of extreme importance and Henderson, it is said, feels for- [ of Vlk. Tulsa will play George Wash- ington here on the night of Novem= ber 15. Vik, who was graduated at Notre Dame in 1931, was mentioned widely for the All-America, but declares he “got more publicity from having a| | funny name than from playing foot | ball,” His name is pronounced “Velk.” EARLY BIRD ON GRID EMMITSBURG, Md., August 22— With Joe Lawler, former Catholic U. athlete taking up his job as new head coach, Mount St. Mary’s began foot ball practice yesterday with 75 men on the field. | ‘The Mounts apparently are the first | in the country to begin grid toil.

For Dickey laid 50 to 1 against a 3 on the eleventh hole by Gay Harrell the other day and be- fore Gay had missed a 10-footer by | hitting the ball smack into the back of the cup, whence it jumped out and nung on the edge, Dickey's nerves were not what they should be. Gay pulled his tee shot over into the ditch alongside the green, and as they were going down the hill Dickey cracked | that he would lay 50 to 1 that Gay | wouldn't get a 3. “Even if I lose that’s | a good bet,” said Gay. “And a miracle may happen.” | It almost did, for to get the ball on the green from the lie he had very | nearly was a miracle. He knocked it | out 10 feet from the hole, much to | Dickey's surprise and chagrin, and then proceeded to knock all the scrap out of the Dickey man by smacking the putt into the back of the tin. Had | the ball been hit a shade softer it would have stayed in the cup and | Di_key woul have been out 50 smack- ers. But it did stay out, even though | Calvert's nerves won't recover from the shock for awhile. “I'm cured.” Dickey said, “of laying foolish odds.

HALF-DOZEN Washingtor golf pros were at Hershey, Pa., to- day striving for a slice of the $4,000 in cash put up for the paid gentry in one of the East’s major tournaments. Those from Washington who were to play were: Al Houghton of Indian Spring, Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase, Leo Walper of Bethesda, Md.; Al Tre- der of Manor, Clff Spencer of Bea- ver Dam and Walter Cunningham of Burning Tree. Tom Belshe, president of the Dis- trict Golf Association, is working hard these days to promote interest and to get a flock of entries for the first mixed foursome tournament to be staged by the association at Indian Spring on September 11.
