AUDIENCE ENJOYS
U. N. C. GLEE CLUB
FORUM CONCERT
Stars may “Shine on Ala
bama,” but they did a pretty
good job in Carolina last night
when they illuminated the im
promptu out-door serenade given
by the University of North Car
olina Glee Club after its su
perb Forum presentation. It’s
hard to imagine the parking
space at the Country Club as
the perfect setting for romantic
troubadours, however, when the
Glee Club started off with “I
Love You Truly,” it didn’t take
long for the younger Pinelands
romancers to gather round and
join whole-heartedly in the fun.
This is putting the cart be
fore the. horse, but it’s the last
and lasting impression of the
Glee Club before it set out on
its homeward journey, singing a
cheery song that invariably end
ed in a growl which sounded
suspiciously like “Beat Duke.”
The program at the Forum
was practically perfect. To those
who heard it, it is needless to
say, more; to those who were
unable to attend—try not to
miss it riext year.
An advisory board meeting of
the Forum will be held this
morning at eleven at the Holly
Inn.

AUGUSTA, Ga., April 4.—<ff)
—They drew lines from tees to
greens today at the Augusta
National golf club and Lloyd
Mangrum followed them all.
Hitting woods and irons as if
the ball was tied to those lines
he took the lead in the first
round of the seventh annual
Masters’ tournament with a 64
that set all kinds of records.
It was eight under par for
one of the most testing courses
on this or any other side of
the Atlantic* It broke the course
record of 66 held jointly by
Gene Sarazen and Byron Nelson.
It set a new competitive record
for championship golf in this
country. It was, in the final
analysis a round that complete

The 'Wnly thing comparable to
Mangrum’s 64 was Demaret’s
30 for %the* back nine. Until he

HARNESS HORSES AT
TRACK RETURN TO
OWNER’S STABLES
By Wayne Groves
Two stables of horses ship
ped away from the Pinehurst
race track today, A. T. Morri
son returning to his home 'base
at Bucyrus, O., with nine trot
ters and pacers that he had
been training here since the
middle of January. The other
stable to leave was that of R.
Horace Johnston of Charlotte,
N. C., who is returning his
horses to his private track at
Whitehall Farm, near Charlotte.
Members of the Morrison sta
ble made nice progress while!
training here, the two best liked
ones being, Brooklyn, p, 2:041
last season’s champion two year
old pacing gelding, that will be
seen in the principal three year
old paces on the Grand Circuit,
the coming season. He is gen^
erally regarded as one of the
most promising colts in his di
vision. Morrison has another
chancy juvenile in Scot’s Emi
lee that worked in 2:231 while
here. She is eligible to the most
coveted two year old pacing
events on the leading tracks.
The R. H. Johnston horses
that are trained by Lee Smith,
are well advanced in their work
and will be raced early at the
half mile track meetings through
Ohio and la$er on the Grand
Circuit.

DUNKELBERGER 3-1 VICTOR
George Dunlap Jr. is still ift
the North and South open cham
pionship and today in the semi
final meets Bobby Dunkelberger,.
the Southern champion.
. In the other match Skip Alex
ander will play John B. Ryer—
son, world traveler, whose putts;
have resounded in the. cups of/
more than 500 courses.
Mr. Dunlap sneaked into the
semi-final in one of the most
astounding finishes seen here in
years, which came to an un
happy ending for Chuck Alex
ander (Skip’s little brother)
when he hit his second shot ;at
the 20th hole too hard and it
finished, in a thick brush -beyond
the green and could not be
played.
George had just struck .his
second on the green for a cer
tain four and young Mr. Alex
ander, who evidently does not
believe in miracles, did not
bother tp return to the fairway
and take the 100,000 to one shot
that he could hole out for a
five and that Mr. Dunlap would
oblige -by three putting so that
the hole might he halved.
The eighteen was a . comedy of
errors, with one. brilliant stroke
to remind the gallery that thk
contestants were really hfghn
toned golfers. Mr. Dunlap, HadI
lost the 17th to go one down..
His four wood did not hook:
quite enough and found a bunk
er on the -Tight of the 17thr
green. Chuck was well on withi
an iron and won with a pan
three.
Both hooked off the 18th- tee.
Mr. Dunlap’s ball was .close to
a towering pine. He could not- "
take a full whack at the ball.
For an instant he deliberated
playing itv left handed, but de
cided to shorten his swing and -
try and hook the ball far enoughs
up the fairway to make cer
tain of a five, as Alexander was
in great trouble in the sand
road which runs along the prac
tice field.
| Mr. Dunlap then played a
great shot. He had to start,
the ball for the far side of the
fairway but the hook took effect
and left Mr. Dunlap within rea
sonable range of the green.
Meantime Mr. Alexander was
blasting his way out of sand
and ‘rough. He finally took.
