TOPS LIST OF 74 QUALIFIERS FOR CENTENARY OPEN WITH

AGGREGATE SCORE OF 135----

St Andrews, July 5. Defending champion Gary Player, of South Africa, planted himself firmly at the top of the 74 qualifiers in the Centenary Open Golf Championship here today, `when he returned a 68 over the 6,936-yard Old Course for an aggregate of 135.

Sukemasa Shimamura, with a 75 on the Old Course (aggregate

146) was the only Japanese player to qualify.

Player and O'Connor were the only two golfers to break 70 in both their qualifying rounds.

Mastery

In heavy rain, the conditions were far from easy but Player showed such mastery that he said afterwards: was not under any strain, There is no point in trying to whip up your enthusiasm at this stage."

Flory van Donck, Belgian winner of the Canada Cup In- dividual Trophy last week, had an 80 on the New Course 10 total 154, but failed to qualify.

The second Japanese player, Sukemasa Shimamura, did better than Ono, returning a 75 on the Old Course to total 148.'

Though the final cards were not expected to be returned until about 2045 GMT, it began to look as if the qualifying score would be around the 148 mark.

The question, which has been debated for many years,

entred a new stage last year when the ILTA decided to set up a special committee to riport on the problem. The

committee, including French star tennis Player Jean Borotra, one of the "Musketeers" of the pre- war years, reported in favour of the Open tournaments which would pit amateurs against professionals as in golf tournaments.

Proposals

Various proposals have been set forth for the organisation of such tournaments which would change the face of the big Jour championships-Wimble- don, Forest Hills, Garros and Melbourne.
