In the Junior championship
little David Meeks found himself
seven down at the end of nine
holes to Joey Maples but would
n’t give up and really made a
battle of it on the back nine. It
was a little too much to over
come however and Joey held on
to finally win by 3 & 1.
A fine score worthy of note,
Jo Joines firing a very fine 76,
even par for the ladies and the
best of her career, and Dr. Tay
lor Adams came within two shots
of his age the other day with a
fine score of 84. Har^; in there
Doc, you’ll make it yet!

Comment On Sports
By Pete Fntchie
Washington, D.C.—GeneSar
azen was commenting recently
on the trend these days in golf
and -among the golf pros—to
dress and act for the camera.
Little old Gene says things
have gotten so bad along the pro
circuit players check with each
other, like girls, as to what
they'll wear before playing tele
vised tournament rounds.
As usual, the diminutive and
outspoken veteran is right. He
still wears his knee-length
knickers, just as he did when
this writer first watched him
play in the thirties. And he
still plays good golf and
competes in the major tourna
ments.
Purses weren't so large in
the pre-television days and
the country wasn't quite so
golf conscious. Today every
town has its group of country
club dandies, who spend lavish
ly on their golf dress.
Shoes are just right, sweaters
are almost girlish in color,
sport shorts and slacks must
be just right in color and fit,
etc., etc.
In fact, walking out on the
course at many clubs today one
has the feeling he*s watching a
fashion show for men—and
there’s a lot of acting talent
going to waste both at televised
tournaments and at club cham
pionships in the average cities
and towns.
Installation of the nation’s 100
millionth telephone highlights
the fact that Americans are the
most communications-minded
people on earth, having a tele
phone for each two citizens.
