(U.R) Ten Neg roes played golf Saturday on an Atlanta public course previously reserved for whites. They were the first Negroes to tee off since the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Atlanta courses open to all citizens, regardless of color. The first Negroes showed up about 9:30 a.m. EST, said pro Bill Hall at the North Fulton Course. They "got in line like everybody else" and teed off when their turn came, Hall said. Six Negroes comprised the first group. Four others showed up later, and took to the course. There were no incidents as the play progressed. About 150 white golfers also were playing the flat North Fulton Course laid out northwest of the ex clusive Buckhead residential area. Shrine Stars Win Praise Miami, Fla.

In the North camp, all ap peared to be in readiness for the " game. One pro-team scout, after watching Holleder work out, said "Army must have real ly needed a quarterback to take that kid away from end." Hol leder will play end Monday.
