Swartz, second oldest Goodyear

Grant was born in Akron, grad-uated
from Central High School,
and then attended Ohio State

WEBER BREAK PAR
WITH SCORES OF 10
Arthur A. Handler Shoots
Hole-In-One To Win
Accuracy Prize
TITHILE the entry list was
¥ V not as large as last year
the Goodyear Championship
Golf tournament, which drew
a field of 696 entries to Loyal
Oak course June 28 to July 1
for qualifying round play,
was hailed as the best han-dled
and most interesting
i tournament ever held at
Goodyear.
Every one of the 696 en-tries
has qualiSed for match play.
Match play in the various flights
begins at once and the •rst rounds
must be concluded not later than
Sunday, July 15. One match a week
is to be played in each flight there-after.
Thirty-two players have been
placed in Flights A to K, and match
play in these flights will be in pairs
until all but the champion has been
eliminated. In Flights L to P there
are 64 players, and the Brst round
of match play in these flights will
be by foursomes, the low man in
each foursome to win the round,
and the others to be eliminated.
Three 70 Scores
Defending Champion Jack Deet-jen
lived up to his reputation to
come through with a.score of 70.
Two other golfers broke par with
70 scores, Dick Weber, 1932 cham-pion,
and Walter C. Linke, tire
builder. Linke broke into the lime-light
with a great 18 holes of golf
Saturday.
The most astounding feat of the
tournament was the hole-in-one
made by Arthur A. Handler, Crude
Rubber Dept., in the accuracy con-test
at the thirteenth hole. He not
; only wins the accuracy prize but a
' trophy for his hole-in-one.
This is the second hole-in-one
made in the three Goodyear cham-pionship
tournaments. Homer
Smith, truck tire builder, made ·a
hole-in-one at Maplecrest in the
1932 tournament.
G. R. Reiter, 251-G, made the
highest gross score of 172. He and
nine other golfers are in Q Flight,
and this group will probably have
as much fun out of the match play
as any of the others.
Below are the prize winners of
the qualifying round:
Grand Prizes
1.-J. C. Murphy, 205C-Suede
Jacket.
2.-Paul Limrane, 1198--Golf
Jacket.
3.-C. B. Hoover, 251.4-Big Ben
