School Teacher Quits to Play
For D. C. Golf Title. Shoots 81
By Merrell Whittlesey
Betty Garber, a sports-minded
school teacher (until yesterday) is
a solid contender as the District,
Women's Golf Championship enters
the match play rounds today at
Woodmont, but only after she quit
her job to play in the tournament
and forced the Women's Golf Asso
ciation into executive session to con
sider her entry.
More than a month ago Miss Gar
ber, who bears a resemblance to
Babe Didrikson Zaharias, applied
for a week's leave from Wilson High
School to play in the tournament.
She has been teaching physical edu
cation there for 10 years.
But when it came tournament
time and Miss Garber had a substi-:
tute ready, her grades in and she
had offered tc report after the tour
nament each day to go over next
year's curriculum, her application
for leave wras denied.
Instead of withdrawing from the
tournament, Miss Ga/ber decided to
resign, a move that almost created
an uproar at Wilson as a number of
atudents threatened to skip classes
and w’atch her play—until she
talked them out of it.
May Seek Reinstatement.
She said today she may apply foi
reinstatement, "after next year,'' al
though she has not heard yet
whether her resignation has been
accepted.
As Miss Garber Is not a member
of one of the WDGA's member
clubs, her entry was not accepted
until last Thursday when the Exec
utive Committee approved her name
provided she paid a $10 assessment
as an unattached player, plus a $3
tournament entry fee.
A former public links champion,
but never a contender for the city
title, Miss Garber was a trifle nerv
ous as she started her qualifying
round at Woodmont Country Clua
yesterday. Playing the back nine:
first, she posted a 44, but soon gained |
control of her shots and came back
in 37. the best nine of the day, for
an 81.
Paradoxically, if Miss Garber had
been teaching golf at Wilson site
probably would have been permitted
to take leave to compete in the
tournament, but as she gave up golf
classes several years ago. the tour
nament did not fall within the line
of duty.
Mrs. Stokes Game Strong.
While Miss Garber's entrance into
the tournament was the topic of
conversation. Defending Champion
Mrs. Walter Stokes played most of
the golf. •
Playing from the men’s tees
over the 18 holes, as did the entire
field, Mrs. Stokes was out in 40 and
back in 39%for a 79. The Manorite,
a three-time champion, played con
sistently good golf all the way and
did not make any lohg putts.
Miss Garber's 81 was tied by Mrs.
I,. G. Pray, who, heartened by a
lesson, from Fred McLeod on Sat
urday. decided to play in the
tournament after snapping out of a
streak that almost caused her to
lose interest in the game.
All of the favorites except Mrs.
B F. Little of Army Navy, a semi
finalist last year, made the mateh
plav grade. Mrs. Little u’as out
with a 97. Mjg. George Bailey, jr„
of Washington missed the title
flight for the first time.
Mrs. Richard Kreuzburg. also a
semlflnalist last year, almost missed,
out when her year-long jinx,
shanked short iron shots, caused
her to send nine chip shots scooting
off her eight and nine irons at
right angles.
Gains Title Flight.
But she was hitting her long shots
*o well she managed to gain the
title flight by struggling around in
91 after shanking two shots in a row
on the 18th hole, which left her
farther from the green in 4 than she
was in 2. Woodmont Pro Gene
Larkin offered some helpful sug
gestions after her round, however,
and Mrs. Krcuzburg hopes to im
prove.
If today's matches run true to
form, there may be unexpected fire
works tomorrow as Miss Garber
and Mrs. A. B. Bower will meet if
both win today. Mrs. Bower has
been playing the best golf of the
season, but slipped yesterday with
an 86 in her qualifying round.

M.A. Pros lo Clear Up
Handicap Situation
The Middle Atlantic PGA will
go into executive session following
today's pro-amateur tournament at
Congressional Country Club to dis
cuss the future of the bt-weekly
pro-ams.
Questions up for discussion are:
(11 Are the pros going to continue
to hold the pro responsible for his
partner’s handicap? If so, what
will happen when the pro does not
use the proper handicap?
12) Can the pros play all amateurs
from scratch?
.(3) Would the latter mova re
duce the entry list?
<4) Will all events be played un
der summer rules?
While the questions affect future
tournaments, the pros have none of
those worries as Congressional is
supplying all the members in today's
unique events, and all the prise
money.
It is a special pro and two
partner tourney with 38 pros sched
uled to turn out to help make Willy

"Step Lively!”... IMPOSSIBLE
Working on the ocean floor is one job that
can’t be hurried. Brewing of fine beer is
another.... From its slow-motion start
to its leisurely finish, the brewing of
BUDWEISER demands time and patience.
Choice barley must season for months. The
malt prepared therefrom must age for
weeks. The cool temperature of the brew
requires a long, alow fermentation. Finally,
the ageing period takes many more weeks
before perfection in brewing is reached.
Time... time... more time. That’s why
yourminutee with a glass of BUDWEISER
are so brimful of satisfaction.
