about 50 of those coming from Chicago, Denver or Karisas
City, he said. -
The same people who travel miles to play lit thd
tournament will often go to other tournaments such as '
the Colorado Open, Tesmer said.
What started out in 1968 as a fraternal organization of
Der Loaf und Stein bar has grown to national propdr
tlons, Tesmer said ,
Croquet enthusiasts

Tesmer said. The tourney is organized by a board of di
rectors Which is made Up of croquet enthusiasts, he said
Like pool, Tesmer said, a circuit exists in which some
players are well known for their croquet playing skill.
Lincoln much like Minnesota, boasts a player of ex
ceptional skill called Fat Dawg, alias Steve Hatten, Tesmer
said. r ' T-1 ' 'v
Tesmer Said he foresees the day When people may play
croquet professionally.
"We have discussed at the board meeting in Kansas
the possibility of bringing In cash prizes," Tesmer said. -"If
we did this I think people Would follow croquet for,
the money."

Players in the tourney are required to pay a green fee
in order to olav. he said.
Before play starts, Tesmer said, players are divided into
flights of six players. Each flight receives instructions on
the yules before the games begirt.
In the years since the tourneys conception, many
changes have taken place, he said. During the first
tournaments, it was illegal id practice beforehand, Tesmer
said.
Now, people have custom made clubs which they carry
in attache cases, and practice well before the tourneys
begin, he said, adding that the tournament even attracts
some semi-pro golfers.
