for all vehicles. He has also announced that a new com- munications system has been installed which will facilitate the speeding of news to various points here at the Dickin- son Country Club - if someone learns how to operate it. Accommodations have been made available for Bachelors in Peoples' Inn of Relaxation. Dormitory overseer Peoples has announced there is no room in the inn for married couples. Keeper of the Mails Reilly has promised that all mail will be forwarded with speed and minimum censoring to all participants during the tournament. Letters of un- usual interest, e.g. those from Club Harem, Wilkes-Barre, will be posted on the Official Board. Starter Del Duca called the first foursome to the tee. Strangely enough no one moved until Stockwell V. Morris well-known Vacuum Cleaner Executive, announced his reluctant withdrawal. Stetz, Montgomery, Jenkins and Frank each recorded four impressive drives and the tourna- ment was under way. Pre-tournament favorites, Trout, Andrews and Yohe expected stiff competition from Parker and Sensenich. The latter two were representing the Phi Delta Delta Country Club. Caddie Master Ziontz has provided a field of com- petent assistants to aid the golfers in their trying under- taking. Many of the golfers, not wishing to rely on their own strength, took advantage of this caddie service. D. Fenton Adams, assistant director of the tournament, has just announced that Frankston Films. Ltd. has been re- tained to record the tournament on film for posterity.

THESE ARE THE YEARS THAT WERE Dickinson Country Club is nestled in the confines of maiestic Cumberland Valley, sleepily tucked between the Appalachians and the blue, still waters of the Conodogui- net Creek. We are here with the WDSL microphones to cover one of the most coveted sports events of the decade - The Trickett Invitational. A field of fifty-nine of golfdom's most enthusiastic advocates are assembled for the 130th playing of the tournament. Each golfer who can finish at least three rounds will receive as a reward for his endurance the highly coveted Certificate of Achievement. Tournament chairman, M. Shafer, having full faith that the club record would not fall, has announced that the course is in great shape and is groomed to present to each competitor every type of hazard which they may expect to encounter. ln a pre-tournament speech, the chairman, with words of warning, informed each golfer that based on individual past performance there was little hope that he would last the full three rounds. Head groundskeeper, Ember Rupp, has announced that recent rains which flooded the parking area should not dampen the spirits of the entrants. There may be a little crowding, but sufficient space should be available 1

Needless to say, the crowd is tense and after those four drives we can sense the keenness of the competition. Entry after entry passes the 'registration desk and moves to the first tee. Drive after drive signals the commence- ment of a long, difficult ordeal for each entrant. From our vantage point we can see that, of all things, trouble has arisen, not on the golf course, but near the vending machines which have been strategically located for convenience of the golfers. It seems as though Walk- a-Mile Betty has lost thirty-five cents in one of the ma- chines and has sworn that he will invest only in OP's from now on. It looks like Mayor Willy Brandt and Peanut Bittle have been forced to apply half-nelsons on Betty to help him shakily continue with the match with the knowledge that he can never lose on OP's, though they may not always be available. As the tournament progresses we shall switch to various points on this hazardous Dickinson Country Club Course, but right now Champagne Tony Moses is ap- proaching the first tee. Moses uses a heavier driver than most and believes that constant practice is the answer to success. Playing with Moses are E.B. Maxwell II, one of the games coolest competitorsg Dr. Carey Trout, a pro- fessional in his own right with the ability to diagnose each shot, and Mel the kid Dildine - WAIT! Dildine has not shown up at the tee and we understand that they've sent a search party out for him. Ober will fill in for Dildine - Ober???
