The arrival OF the oxford and Cambridge golf
team ia Boston on the good ship Mayfiower was
different sort of pilgrimage from that of the sturdy
band that landed from another Mayhower at Pym-
oGth Rock many years ago. The descendants
from the early pilgrims less sturdy IL re-
ports true. and their determination to conquer
none the less keen; but in Drawing the long pro-
aran,me for their entertainment by golfers on this
side of the water they are facing dangers of which
their forefathers knew little. and. though Il may
undermine their gOlGng form, it will nevertheless
give them splendid insight into the progress made
a., ter fayorfte sport since the first links were laid
out here IN 1857.

first time an English golf team has come tn Amer
