Full Schedule for Men's Golf
To Be Drawn at DCGA Session
By WALTER McC ALBUM.
Local links solons will gather at 8
p.m. February 18 at the University
Club to map out, in the words of
District Golf Association President
A. Thomas Utz, “a complete sched
ule of tournaments which probably
will be bigger than our prewar
slate.”
The delegates to the District Golf
Association’s annual meeting, first
such meeting since 1943, will vote
on at least four DCGA events, in
cluding the men's championship,
junior and senior title tourneys and
at least one mixed foursome affair.
The latter events, played in one day,
have been very popular around
Washington.
Date for the annual gathering of
the fathers of local golf was an
nounced today by Dr. Utz, who is
slated to be succeeded in the presi
dency by Harry G. Pitt of Manor.
Before he retires, he said, Dr. Utz
will recommend a full slate of events
and hopes that competitive golf
around Washington will return to
its prewar status, with tournaments
scheduled throughout the entire
season.
Although no club yet has been
chosen for the District amateur
championship, Dr. Utz said the place
will be settled by the meeting date.
The tournament usually is held late
in September.
A1 Jamison, well-known local
links pro, probably will take over
the pro berth at the Springdale
(N. J.) Country Club in April.
rr::_ _ ■i
Jamison, former assistant to Wiffy
Cox at Kenwood and holder of
other pro jobs around Washington,
also will coach the Princeton golf
ers’ team If he gets the job at the
home of the Tiger team.
So when and if Jamison becomes
the Princeton mentor it will un
doubtedly come about that a Wash
ington pro will coach one of George
town’s chief rivals in the Eastern
college golf loop. Princeton and
Georgetown have been keen rivals
in golf for many years. Before the
war Tony Sylvester of Bannock
burn coached the Hoya divot lifter*.
At Houghton, tournament ohalr*
man for the Middle Atlantic PGA,
will meet with several other pros
and a few amateurs at Prince
Georges Country Club next Mon
day to go over the proposed PGA
tourney slate, which consists large
ly of pro-amateur events, spaced 8
fortnight apart, with about six
scheduled for Capital clubs. Hough
ton’s plan calls for higher entry
fees, gross prizes and more strin
gent regulation of handicaps, along
the lines suggested by the Mary
land State Golf Association at its
recent annual meeting.
Buying and holding United States
Savings Bonds is the safest, surest
way to security and independence.
WestVirginia,With 13 Straight,
Eyes Metro Court Title Again
»7 me Associate<1 Press.
MORGANTOWN, W. Va., Jan. 31J
—Unbeaten West Virginia, ruling
along on a 13-game winning atreak,
has its eyes on the New York
metropolitan Invitation basket ball
tournament again. The Moun
taineers copped the 1943 affair.
This year’s band of freshmen and
sophomores make up one of the
few major college quintets with an
unsullied record. Beginning with
Temple U. at Philadelphia Saturday
night, they face a rugged February
eampaign, which includes tilts with
Navy, Army and Pitt.
Coach Lee Patton, a freshman
mentor in college circles, spent 14
years producing winning teams at
Princeton (W. Va.) High before
moving to Morgantown this season.
His so far unbeatable combination
lists Bobby Carroll, top scorer, and
Tom Laverte, forwards; Dave Wil
son, center, and Leland Byrd and
Clyde Green, guards. All are native
West Virginians, except Laverte,
who is from Long Island, N. Y.
A stickler for fundamentals, Pat
ton stresses good ball handling and
his club puts this to devastating
advantage in a deliberate offense
erupting out of a whirlwind fast
break.
West Virginia has a game with
Maryland at Colie'** Park on Wed
nesday, February 23.

HAPPY!
- ***355**!
And you’ll be happy too... because once
again he can brew you a glass of beer that
even the experts say is equal in every way
to the world’s highest priced beers!
«
The first imported Czechoslovakian Hope to
reach the country have arrived at Gunther's.
You see, before the war Gunther purchased the
costliest malt, grain and hops available anywhere
in the world. They pursued the same course
during the tsar—the difference being that some of
the costliest imported ingredients were not avail
able.
So when the first shipment of imported Czecho
slovakian Hops reached America, it was only
natural for Gunther to be the first in Baltimore
to receive a shipment of these imported hops.
FEW REAL PREMIUM BEERS
For years Gunther has had standing orders
with importers and suppliers for these costlier
ingredients. For that’s what makes premium
dry beer. Not words or claims. But malt and
hope. Not just good malt and hope but the
fanciest, prize malt and hops.
It isn’t what you pay for beer that determines
its quality. It’s what the brewer pays for the
ingredients—and how he handles them—that
produces a premium beer day in and day out.
And then the price to you depends on ths
brewer’s volume and your demand for the beer.
With Gunther’s beer, their tremendous production
and large consumer demand saved them enough
money so that they could afford to bny only tha
costliest ingredients and yet sell you Gunther’s
Premium Dry Beer at the cost of plain every
day beers. -
Now these imported hops promise an improve*
ment in the dry-beefy character of Gunther’s.
But you can’t make a great beer in a hurry. It has
to age to its full, mellow, dry, beer-i-ness. Bs
patient a little longer and you’ll see.
