Houghton, McMaster Also Qualify. | IN ADDITION to these Al Houghton, the silver-thatched pro at the | Chamberlin course at Old Point Com- i fort, Va., who learned the game around | Washington and formerly was attached | to the Kenwood Club, and Carroll T. McMaster, burly, good-natured pro | from the Woodholme Club of Balti- more, won places in the championship, | completing the quota of five awarded | to the loca! qualifying group. To Cox and Barnett the national | open will be an old story. For a dozen years Cox has been up in the national lime- light. Last year he finished sixth in the | tournament at Baltusrol with a mml of 289. Barnett also has qualified | several times, as has Houghton, who is regarded as a Washington product. Spencer qualified in 1935 and was third over the first day's play at Oakmont with a card of 73. Cunningham quali- fied back in 1933 and will be making his second trip to the national.

BOB BARNETT wouldn't have given & plugged dime for his chance to qualify as he wound up the test 5, 6 for & 71 after coming to the thirty- fifth with a brace of 4s for a 68 and | a total of 142. He chipped badly after overshooting the green at the seventeenth, and then trapped his second shot at thle eighteenth. Coming out too strongly the ball ended in a hedge behind the green and he played a left- handed niblick shot back to hole out for a 6. “I think I blew my chance right there,” said Bob. But it wasn't so, for he finished second. The others blew, but not Barnett. Helen Dettweiler Plays Home. AND at the end much of the drama centered about big, heavy-shoul- dered McMaster.
