in the kind of golf they played The mo-
ment one or the other was presented with
chance to win hole he seemed to de-
velop stage fright and tho number OF
golden opportunities that were thrown
away during the round were too many to
describe in detail. Stearns was the worse
offender in this respect. Dyer gave him
chance after chance, which he failed to
seize.
