DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
1 by ROBERT E. HARLOW
A case for a Solomon* to decide will come up before the exec
utive committee of the United States Golf Association at its next
meeting when it will rule on a request froln Oscar Guilfoil, who
wishes to know if his talented and beautiful daughter Virginia,
will be permitted to play in the amateur championship if she
accepts a position as a physical education instructress, with the
understanding that among her duties she may be required to give
instruction in golf.
Miss Guilfoil is visiting in Pinehurst, having come here Sun
day with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar D. Guilfoil Jr., to wit
ness the North and South Women’s championship. Miss Guilfoil
not having .played any golf for the past several months did not
enter the championship this year. She was runner-up in 1937.
Mr. Guilfoil, father of the star golfer, has exchanged letters
with Edward L. Cheyney, chairman of the amateur status and
conduct committee for the'U. S. G. A. and inquired if Miss Vir
ginia’s amateur standing will be denied if she accepts a position
in which giving instruction in golf is included in her duties. Mr.
Cheyney has written Mr. Guilfoil that it is his opinion that by
accepting such a position, Miss Guilfoil will professionalize herself.
Mr. Cheyney’s opinion is not final, as he has advised Mr. Guil
foil he will present the matter at the next meeting of the execu
tive committee of the U. S. G. A. for final judgment.
Golf is included in most physical education programs, although
it plays but a very small part in the task of this sort, which really
has to do with the health and proper exercise for students accord
ing to their needs.
Miss Guilfoil is prepared to manage the executive duties of a
director in physical education as well as to instruct in swimming,
archery, gymnastics, tennis, volley' ball, basketball, track, soft ball,
golf and other sports..
The young lady is eager to retain her amateur status in golf,
and at the same time she desires to obtain a position for which
she has spent four years in Syracuse University in preparation.
Meantime Mr. Guilfoil is obtaining, opinions of directors of
physical education, and he has a letter from Lewis P. Andreas,
director of the department of physical education at Syracuse Uni-,
versity, which presents an interesting view of the case.

—The par 70 shooters were
strictly out of the running to- :
day as the country’s touring
golf pros took the Asheville
Country Club course apart and
neglected to put it together
again. What they did put to
gether, however, were some of
the lowest scores of the winter
tour. When Dick Metz came in
with a six under par 64 ^for a
new competitive course record,
it looked pretty good, but be
fore the afternoon was over,
both score and record had been
equaled by Ralph Guldahl and
Lloyd Mangrum.

a gentle spring shower, Mrs..
Estelle Lawson Page, the de
fender from Chapel Hill, N. G*.
and Dorothy Kirby, of Atlanta,,
converged into the final' round
of the Women’s North an<i
South championship here today. •
Mrs. Page again was in th.es

day saw her establish an unoffi
cial record of 6J8 for the reno
vated No. 1 course, and defeated
Deborah Verry of Worchester,
Mass., by 5 and 4. ,
Miss Kirby, matching Mrs.
Page’s pitiless pace, accounted
for Jean Bauer of Providence,
R. I., by 3 and 2.
Mrs. Page stroked her way to
the turn in 36, one above men’s
par and .stood one up to Miss
Verry’s 38. The New Englander
had lost the first hole, when
Mrs. Page pitched her approach
dead to the cup for a birdie
three. She drew level at the
third when Mrs. Page trapped
her bid for the green.
A bunkered second put Miss
Verry down again at the fourth,
but again she righted herself

MOLOTOFF ASSERTS ;
MOSCOW, March 29.—W—
Premier-Foreign Commissar j>
Vyacheslaff Molotoff tonight de
clared before Soviet Russia’s
parliament that “our position ia
(neutrality in the war” and “the
safeguarding of our land.” "K
Molotoff announced this pol
icy at the end of a review of
foreign affairs in which he) v
charged that “the hopes of the ,
British and French rulers to use
the Soviet Union in war against;
Germany have been frustrated/*
He asserted that the conflict
with Finland “was a welcome
opportunity for a number of im
perialist states to embark on
war against the Soviet Union” /
and mentioned the United States
and Italy among “other imper
ialist countries” besides the al
lies whp sent “military aid” to )
Finland.
\ Molotoff said Russia’s rela
tions with the United States,
“have not improved of late” but
he added they “have not be
come worse unless we take injto ,
consideration the so-called moral
embargo against the Soviet
Union which, now that peace*
with Finland has been concluded*
is devoid of any significance/*
He pointed to activity in Hie
Near East and warned that
countries there might be “play
ing with fire.” - - v - - " ~
This was taken as an obvious
reference to British, French and
Turkish military activity.
