Granada - TEE TALK

-By ANN RANDOLPH From the conversations around the pro shop these days, we know there'll be some mighty nice golf played here this winter. But ... right now everyone else seems to have SOMETHING to straighten out. Our winter visitors "just haven't had time during the summer months to get out on the links" and our own vacationers "only played golf a few times because-." Anyway, after much practicing is done I'm sure we'll see happier faces around the Granada. Winter Residents Returning Mrs. Rosamond Jordan has returned from a summer vacation spent in Chicago and points north, south, east and west. In spite of her long absence, she was our ringer score winner for the year-with a neat 82. Myron Davis and son Robert showed up for their "first walk" around the fairways and roughs Thursday. He's the paddock and patrol judge for Hialeah and several eastern race tracks. Mrs. Wilbur "Umps" Clark is happy about selling three memberships . . . which is pretty good for a week. James Canfield was one of the new members after Wednesday, and Mrs. Rose Kehoe and Son Robert were additions to the lists yesterday. Grimes Wins Medal With 81 Qualifying round work for the men's tournament went very well. Lawrence Grimes, a 16-year-old regular at our course, shot an 81 for the low score. In his first round of match play next week he will meet Dr. A. Leo Vollmer. To list some of the other low scorers-R. B. Wallace, 82; J. Campbell, 83 Gordon Taylor, 84; J. Curry, 87; and Bob Searle, 88. A total of 16 have entered the tournament and on Wednesday Bill Gorman beat Frank Howard, 2-1, and Gordon Taylor defeated Frank Spencer 6-5. The Greater Miami Women's Golf Association's championship at the Miami Country Club this week was a huge success and everyone had loads of fun-especially Mrs. Billie Harting since it appears she'll win the event again. They will hold their final meeting and an election of officers at a luncheon Tuesday, the 25th, at the MCC.

Tourney Windups, Sweepstakes Fill Riviera Weekend

Riviera Country Club golfers will complete a 4-man, 2-ball sweepstage tomorrow and leave the links open for the final round of the Class tournament and the third elimination in the Senior match play Sunday, Leonard Ott, club pro, announced this morning. Three matches will determine the champions in the A, B and C classes of the Club and Class tournaments, and one, between William Carr and Wilson Leary, is for the consolation award in the championship flight. Matchway drives for the Class A trophy will be L. H. Tope and R. A. Marshall; Dr. Karl Vetter and Budd Moore for the B title; and Walter Hunkey and Dr. George Mitchell are paired for the final division crown. Eight match players will start Sunday to whittle their numbers in half in the third round of the Senior tournament. Ott said. L. H. Tope has a chance to gain a double triumph with his competition against Sam McCormick. Others entering the third round are: Sam Anderson and John Sullivan; Cy Monk and Jim McCaskalll; and Dutch Kirkland and Irving Thomas. H. L. Thornquist won the club championship with a win over Carrol Lattimer on Tuesday.

Gator Strength Is More Than Forbes

JIMMY KYNES BILLY PARKER LAZAROUS LEWIS FLETCHER GROVES BULL GATORS: Four of the outstanding players performing for the University of Florida are Jimmy Kynes (left), captain for tonight's game; Lazarous Lewis (right), the place kicker who beat North Carolina State and tied Tulane; Billy Parker (upper center), the Gators' fine punter and fullback, and Guard Fletcher Groves, who is expected to be one of the best linemen to face the Hurricanes yet this year.

Sports Board Holds First Meeting Today

Coral Gables begins to "feel its way" into the professional sports supervision arena this afternoon with the first meeting of the Sports Commission to discuss budget and regulatory matters. Several of the members named to the board by the city commission Tuesday night were pleased with the opportunity to take an active part in the program when interviewed, but admitted that they hadn't had much experience that would not commit themselves to expressing any convictions of policy until after they had met and talked over their ideas with the other members. "Clean Sports or None at All" Generally the attitude seemed to be, "We'll have clean sports in Coral Gables or none at all," as expressed by Andrew N. Houston, paint dealer and former city commissioner. Even the members who have had some background with sports promotion preferred to wait for common approval of their ideas before they spoke. Carl A. Singleton, owner of the liquor store which bears his name and a sports promoter for 16 years before coming to the Gables, favored "allowing the promoters plenty of leeway to book the events they wish as long as they operate fairly."

BIG TONY YOVICSLN, who captained the University of Miami basketball team through its 14-game winning streak last year is one of the lettermen returning to form the nucleus of this year's team. Basketball is the least of Tony's worries today, however, for he starts at end for the Hurricanes against Florida tonight. After the Alabama game he'll switch into cage togs for the 'Canes first game, against Tampa, at the Coliseum Dec. 12.

MEMO TO ADVERTISERS HOW TO MEASURE Advertising Values

MEMO TO ADVERTISERS A.B.C. REPORTS HOW TO MEASURE Advertising Values WE ASK advertisers to think of the circulation of this newspaper in terms of the distribution of their advertising—the size, quality and interest of the audience to which their advertising is addressed. From that viewpoint our circulation becomes a more direct factor in business plans. There are well-known standards for circulation values just as there are definite measures of weight and quality as used in the purchase and sale of merchandise. The standards for evaluating circulation have been established by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, a national cooperative association of 2000 advertisers, advertising agencies and publishers in the United States and Canada. This newspaper is an A.B.C. member. The Bureau has a large staff of experienced auditors and at regular intervals one of these men makes an audit of our circulation records. Based on the information thus secured, the Bureau issues official A.B.C. Audit Reports. These reports tell how much circulation we have, where and how it is distributed, how much people paid (important because paid circulation proves reader interest) and many other facts that make it possible to invest in newspaper advertising on the basis of known values. For complete and verified information about the distribution of your advertising, when it appears in this newspaper ask us for A.B.C. reports. CORAL GABLES Riviera-Times ABC This newspaper is a member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Ask for a copy of our latest A. B. C. report giving audited facts and figures about our circulation.
