Harvard Hubbard's game may not have surprised
his friends for they say lie is the best golfer In
Harvard but II certainly unexpected TO tho
majority of the onookers. Perhaps the adjective
that best describes It Is dextery. He has dash

his strokes rather than forcing them out There
Is apparently no attempt 10 get long ball. yet the
distance covered g usually surprising. He makes
a full swing and follows through perfectly, Inc

spectators were naturally in his favor and this
brought amusing situation In tho shape of
a rival clique Of Harvard boys. who seemed to
forget that Hubbard also Harvard man In
