Thus, a playâ€" er who wins his match in the third round of match play, will receive a total of $50 in War Bond prizes. If he goes on to win in the fourth round, he will receive a total of $75 and if he wins in the semiâ€"finals, he will receive a total of $100 in War Bond prizes. In addition, the victor in the final round will receive an engraved trophy emblematic of his Allâ€"American Amaâ€" teur championship. Under the original plan, individual awards going. as high as $500 were contemplated and prizes were to be available only to the winner, the runâ€" nerâ€"up and semiâ€"finalists in match play and the low scorers in the qualiâ€" fying rounds. Under the new plan, the money will be divided among a considerably larger number of players and the highest individual award will be a $100 United States War Savings Bond. ; ‘The change in the method of disâ€" tribution, Mr. May said, was made in response to numerous requests from leading amateur golfers who felt that their amateur status might be affected through acceptance of large individual prizes even though such prizes were in the form of War Bonds. In addition to these prizes, totaling $750, Mr. May said that War Bond prizes would be awarded to the five low scorers in the two eighteenâ€"hole qualifying rounds in the tournament with $100 going to the first place winner, $75 for second, $50 for third and $25 each for fourth and fifth, but that no single player would be perâ€" mitted to accept more than a total of $100.

Amateurs competing in both tournaments will be permitted to accept additional War Bond prizes up to a limit of $100 in the Open event, Mr. May said. There will be a total of $1,000 in War Bond prizes for amateurs in the Open, bringing the grand total of awards for amaâ€" teurs in both tournaments to $2,300. ‘A redistribution of the $1,300 in War Bond prizes to be awarded to winners in the Allâ€"American Amateur golf tournament to be played here at the ‘Tam O‘Shanter Country Club from July 20 to 25 was announced today (Monday) by Tam O‘Shanter‘s president, George S.

His ultimate goal is a height of 16 feet. Entries in the dual meet competition among them hold seven of the year‘s outstanding performances by Ameriâ€" can athletes in the 13 individual events which are carded on the program beâ€" side the quarterâ€"mile and mile relays. Five of those seven top performances have been turned in by Pacific Coast representatives, but the Big Ten deleâ€" gation is optimistic over prospects for its best showing in the meet‘s history. Coast teams have won five times in the past, by margins ranging from 101 to 35 in 1938 to 80â€"56 last year. Big Ten Track Meet June 16 At Northwestern Typical of the field‘s usual caliber was that of 1941 when ten of 16 first places on the Allâ€"American College Track and Field Team were picked from among the Pacific Coast and Big Ten stars. Heading the list of outâ€" standing individuals in the 1942 meet is Harold Davis, brilliant sprinting star from the University of Califoria, whose recent time of :09.4 for the 100â€" yard dash has been accepted for recâ€" ognition as ticing the world‘s record. To the usually brilliant field which makes it the number one dual track event of the year and one of the nation‘s outstanding track and field spectacles, the sixth annual Big Tenâ€" Pacific Coast dual track meet has added an exhibition by the world‘s greatest pole vaulter, Cornelius Warâ€" merdam. The dual meet, between top ranking stars from the two Conferences, will be held as a twilight event June 16 at Northwestern university. The Big Ten has the year‘s outâ€" standing performances in two events, by Bob Fitch of Minnesota with a discus throw of 166 feet 2%% inches and by Dave Matthews with a halfâ€" mile time of 1:53.8. Matthews, howâ€" ever, placed only third in the Big Ten championships behind Campbell Kane of Indiana, who ranked at the top among college halfâ€"milers last year. The Big Ten also has Bob Wright of Ohio State, peer of all college high and low hurdles last year and unâ€" defeated in 1942 outdoor competition after failing to finish in his first start. Comparisons of championship perâ€" formances in he two Conference meets gives the Pacific Coast team an edge Other outstanding individuals in the field, all from Southern California, inâ€" clude Cliff Bourland, whose 440â€"yard time of :46.9 this year tied the Los Angeles Coliseum record, LeRoy Weed with a twoâ€"mile time of 9:04.2, Gill Greene with a high jump of 6 feet 8 inches, and Bill Schaeffer with a pole vault mark of 14 feet 6 inches. 100 FAT LADIES LOSE 20 LBS. EACH ‘Eileen‘ Still Playing To Packed House "My Sister Eileen" is the madly funny adventures of two sisters, Ruth and Eileen Sherwood, who come to New York from their home in Columâ€" bus, Ohio, in search of careers. Eiâ€" leen, the beautiful wants to be a great stage actress, while Ruth, who is plain but witty, seeks, to be a successful writer. ‘They pay a month‘s rentâ€"in advanceâ€"to Mr, Appopolous, a Greek landlord, on a basement studio in his house in Greenwich Villiage, the Bo hemian section of New York. The former occupant of the apartâ€" ment is a fancy woman and Ruth and Eileen are soon beset by a series of wouldâ€"be admirers, ranging from a professional football star to six roâ€" mantic cadets of the Brazilian navy.

Matinees are priced at only $1.10 for the orchestra, inâ€" stead of the former price of $2.20. Under the clever direction of Broadway‘s master of comedy, George S. Kauiman, it adds up to a great evening of hilarity. In the original cast of thirty, are beautiful Marcy Wescott, playing Eileen, clever Wiseâ€" cracking Effic Afton as Ruth, Guy Robertson, pleasantly remembered as the leading tenor in "The Great Waltz" and "Rose Marie," and Philip Loeb, who starred on Broadway in "Room Service,‘ . In his review of "My Sister Eileen," Ashton Stevens, critic for the Chicaâ€" go Heraldâ€"American, wrote: "It is enormously funny." of seven to five, with one event a tie. But with the javelin not in competiâ€" tion and a probable Big Ten slam in the discus to offset the Coast‘s cerâ€" tain strength in the high jump, the Western Conference is optimistically viewing its chances. The Coast team will be favored in the mile relay, in which California set a world‘s record at the 1941 meet, and the Big Ten will be conceded an edge to repeat its sprint.

The two beautiful English girls are Maurâ€" een O‘Hara, formerly of Dublin‘s Abâ€" bey Theatre and the London stage, and Anna Lee, English film star, Both are obviously slated for top stardom and their sharing of the femâ€" inine leads in the film is another exâ€" ample of Hollywood‘s new lavishness with talent in its productions.
