Putts (or Birdie Ail Day The Michigan youth putted for birdies on every hole of the 11 played In the afternoon except for one, where he barely missed a twelve-foot putt for an eagle on the 542-yard third after he had parked a hransie shot on the green. Kocsis gained a three-up lead at the end of nine holes of the morning tour by shooting the first nine in two under par, to Thompson .17 and he held the three-up lead through the Incoming nine for the first 18 holes. His par-shattering 32 which might easily have been a 31 had a fifteen-foot putt for a birdie on the ninth dropped after rimming the cup came from a combination of long, straight drives followed by beautiful irons over the flat yacht cluh layout straight to the small, well-trapped greens.

Aug 1-The All-American, now 64 strong swept through an intensely active two-hour football drill today at Pyche Stadium which went far toward covering the fundamentals necessary before the players can be sent through a scrinimace. No All-Star team ever has made more rapid progress in its fust two practice sessions and. In fact, this year's team, the largest in the four year history nf the series sponsored hy the Chicago Tribune, has been organized more quickly than any other. With 13 days of practice remaining, many of which will have double sessions, the coaches do not anticipate any serious trouble choosing the men who will bear the burden f.f the gsme sgainst the Green Bay Tarkers, world professional champions, Sept. 1.

Thompson, shooting evrn par. looked sad in comparison, for in several spots he scrambled to get his figures. Little Joe won the first hole of the match with a binlie, lost the next to a par and went behind on the next, never to catch the flying Kocsis whose card for the day showed eight threes and two twos for 10 of the 23 holes. Kocsis. with his new trophy In his baggage, headed a party of 20 golfers which left here by train late tonight to compete in the National Amateur championship which starts Aug.
