     Were the pro vs. amateur games played even or with handicap?  If even, how did this come about?  It would seem quite strange and contrary to normal practice, and the games would surely be so one-sided as to lose most instructional value.  If they were handicapped, what were the handicaps?  The basic idea is a good one, which was tried once before in a tournament in Ohio, and in this year's U.S. team championship..
