Speaking Of Golf I* JOt MAPLES Local golfer* got ? Jump on the 1981 season this post Sunday when ? tana front the Boone Golf Club went to Hickory (or a match with the Lake Hickory Country Club, and the reeulu though not a com pirte success, were encouraging. 3B Hickory woo the match by the rather narrow margin of 82 Vj to 85 Vi, a seventeen point spread. If one more iwosome from the local dab could have picked up nine points, the outcome would have been different. Boone players ara encouraged though and are al ready talking about turning the tablet when the return match ia played on the local course during the latter part of next month. Here ia a rundown on all match es: Ma plea-Ernest Hayes (B) df Pete Sherrill-Tommy Bumbarger frO. John Broyhill-Horace Dowllng (B) df B. Bumbarger-H. Eckard M. Jack Groce-Bill Rowland (B) df S.

Low for Lube Hick ory with scores of 74 were Tommy Bumbtrger and Hickory Pro, Pete Sherrlll. The folks at Lake Hickory pot on their usual fine feed for the players after the match and thoae that stayed, and I'm glad to re port that moat did, gave testimony to the fact that it was wonderful, by the amount they consumed The Boone players may not win all their matches, but they'll take a back seat to no on* at the din ner table. I think all of our player* are agreed on one thing, the greens at Lake Hickory were the best they have seen in a long- long time. Not only were they beautiful, but they putted juat like ? rug. This is one time that the players can't Ma me missing putts on the greens. I've played a lot of golf courses and hive never seen greens that played any better. It is a real pleasure to play a course that has greens as fine is they were. Pete Sherrill gives much of the credit to a new greensmower he lust got, and of course that li a ma lor factor, but without the grass, a mower isn't any good and thev had the grass. We hope to have an announce ment about the opening date of the local courae In the paper next week. Right now, Us touch and go, with the rain keeping the fair ways and greens pretty soft, a lit tle too soft to roll just yet. The grass on the greens la coming out slowly but nicely and a few days of mild weather will help them considerably. To get on the greens at present, would not only leave footprints but would sUo wear the grass out too quickly around the eup. Reason being that wet graaa wears out fast and the fact that It hasn't started growing very faat as yet. This situation can change very fasktiils time of year though and we Mp4 to have good news for all you loeal golfers next week.

Selective Service Tests To Be Given At Colleges The annual Selective Service College Qualification Teat will be offered to college students April 27 at approximately BOO colleges throughout the nation. This is the only teat that will be given for the 1060-4) school year. There will be no special test given for atudents who are unable to take the test on April 27. Application materiala for the test are now available at the near eat local board office. Students are urged to make application earlv. The application must be postmark ed not later than midnight. April 6. Full instructional materials are iaaued with the applications. The score made on the test is a help to local boards in conaidering students for deferment from in duction for study aa undergradu ate or graduate atudenta. Mr. Jo* W. Todd, Chairman of Local Board No. 96, Watauga County, announced that the test in Boom will be held at Appalach ian State Teachers College. He urged students to take the teat "The test ia for the student's benefit as well as for the Nation's good", Mr. Todd said. "A lodal board should have full Informa tion about a student In order to claaaify him, including hia class standing and a score on this test. A hi?h test score may compensate for low class standing: and high claaa standing may compensate for ? low test score," he added. "Some students do not take the teat because a student deferment extends a registrant's liability" Mr. Todd said. "Other deferments also extend liability age," he add ed, "such as thoae for members of the ROTC, for example. And 110 registrant can remain oat of ser vice beyond about age 23 without an exemption, or a deferment which extends liability." "The purpose of student defer ments is to give promising stu dents an opportunity to continue to prepare themselves for careers in support of the national inter est." Scientific and professional en gineering organizations are urg ing students preparing for careers in those fields to take the test, Mr. Todd pointed out.

KENNEDY'S HOUSING PLAN President Kennedy has sent Congress a $3 .290,000,000 save-t he cities housing programs, to be run by a proposed new Cabinet-rank Department of Housing and Urban Affairs. In a special ten-point message, Kennedy called for prompt hou? ing legislation to spur the economy and reinforce the cities in their "desperate struggle against blight and decay." Comment On Sports By PETE FRITCHIE Washington, D. C. ? Laat week w? talked about Ik penaaal nte la the American Ln|M. This week well take a cloeer took at things in tht National, tht old#r league, aod the only remaining eight team Major League The toam to boat, oa the strength of IMP* taaaOM. must be the PUtaburgh Puales. However, the Pirate* might not aaioy things aa much la 1961 a* they did laat season. For aw thing, the Pirate* got off to a good lead laat year, and they held on firmly until the end. The Cardinal* and Brave* chal leaded, but they couldn't pull the Pirate* down long enough to crawl over them in the *c ramble. Loa Angelet waa a disappointment to many last year. They ihould be bock in the fight thi* year, or it could be Lao Durocher aa man ager next year. Milwaukee aad Charlie Dreaien are a question-mark problem. The ace pitcher* of the Braves aren't getting any younger and even though two men on the pitching itaff threw no-hitter* at the enemy la*t season, they cant go on for ever. We hope Warren Spahn does, however, and alio Lew Burdette, for that matter. Dresien thought he had it made lait season with the Braves, but he didn't knock any buildinga down and Fred Haney looked bet ter and better aa a manager aa the 1960 season wore on. So Charlie ia out thi* year to redeem himaelf. The Cardinala were the 1000 *ur prise uader Solly Harms They hare great pitching and they must be counted ?? contender* on the strength of their Iteo record. It would be nice to see old Stan Mu ?ial with one more pennant wia ner before be bangs up the (hoe* ? but the Cards will have to beat the Pirates and Braves, and may be the Dodaers, if they get Uwre. The San Pranciaco Giants could make a run (or it too. They cer tainly have a team with great stars and much talent. It depends on the Job done by new manager Al vin Dark. As the reader may know, the Giants needed late-inn ing pitching last year, to hold the leads they often had, but couldn't find it and fizzled out. The Pirates must be the favor ites, and then the Braves, Cardin als, Dodgers and Giants, in that order, is the way it must stack up now. But there is usually a sur prise team ? last year the Cards ? which comes along to upset the applecart. VISITORS AND CREDENTIALS The new Administration is pre pared to receive any official for eign visitors with all protocol, even those who may come from outer space, said Angier Biddle Duke, chief of protocol for the Depart ment of State. Protocol demands that any of ficial visitor from any country here on earth or elsewhere first present his credentials. These must be in acceptable order before the visitor and his visit can have of ficial recognition. APRIL 1st! ,|. . And We Have Everything You'll Need to APRIL FOOL The Trout!
