P. G. Cornish was the win- per of

a medal competition

played over the Old Course during the week-end with 0

Know Your Angles

Believe me, the problem of overcoming snookers can return of 85-13Nett 12. A. be just as disturbing to the professional player as to the

Sutcliffe being in second place with 80874 and F. Yeh, amateur enthusiast. But most notable professionals have a first class knowledge of billiards. And knowledge. of this game not only helps them to get out of snookers, but also helps in laying them. Mental pictures of angles come more easily to the mind of the billiard player and to know about angles is one of the "musts" for the snooker player.

The competition, over the New Course resulted in a tie be tween Dr J. Gray (89-18=71) and E. C. Drown (85-1471) Dr J, Gray being declared win ner by Virtue of his score at Nett 24 for the last six holes against Nett 25 returned by E. C. Drown,

Third place on this Course was occupied by I. L. Shaw who returned 80-8-Nett 72.

HANDICAP REVISIONS

I have always thought that had my uncle, Walter Lindrum, taken to Championship Snooker, he would have proved himself difficult to beat because of his superior ability at billiards. His positional play is second to none and his ability to make strokes depending on angles that most players would never dream of considering would. put him well ahead when it came to the modern safety

Hollywood's Perennials Do Look Their Age Off The Screen

By MICHAEL RUDDY

Ginger

The perennials, Hollywood calls them. Who are they? Rogers, Fred Astaire, Gary Cooper, Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck, Humphrey Bogart, Ray Milland, Cary Grant.

All are in their late forties or over fifty. They all look years younger and with the magic of make-up and great cinematographers they appear at least ten years younger on the screen.
