THE crowd engulfed us. Starbuck, half
crazed by the shock of victory unfore-
seen, was swept along toward the club
house; the surging wave passed over us;
the last stragglers hurried to be in at the
presentations; we two were alone on the
last green.
Narrower stopped YEARLY to tie his
shoe. To my inexpert judgment, it didn't
need tying at ALL
"Well," he said, al certainly did ruin
that last hole"
Across from the house man was COM
ing; as he approached, we saw that it was
Ted Ashton.
Looking for you," said Ted Al might

to let you know-about that match OF
ours in the first round. don't know why

"Cut it Quit" said Narrower shame
facedly.
"As matter of fact, l ,couldnt have
caught on-I thought you'd gone to
pieces; but after my attention was called
to it"
"What! Who did that?" said Narrower
savagely. "Did you9"
"Never world" denied.

Francis. Didn't speak of it before

Only, l appreciate it. And-you ought

By the way, why don't you trot up to
the house tonight? The folks've missed
YOU"
"Now, what do you think of that"
asked Narrower staring after Ted in re-
treat.
We took to the showers, escaping the
crowd. Later we lodged through the
side-door, and so to the Inn, where we
dined, by special dispensation, in my
room. At half past eight Narrower rose,
and changed his tie for one of mine that
he liked better.

The crowd held its breath. l don't

next tee.
Narrower said nothing, but saw the
lines on his face deepen. l didn't dare
to look at Peggy.
They halved two holes; Narrower won
the thirteenth. All even again and five to
go. Just here Jimmy went sky-high for
the second time; and again he spoiled
Harrower's shot, and took the hole on
technicality. And Narrower, grimly
sportsmanlike, said nothing. He won the
fourteenth, halved the fifteenth, won the
sixteenth-and stood one up with two to
play.
Never in all my life have l seen man
lose his senses so completely as Jimmy
Starbuck lost them then. He had come
out after luncheon with the expectation
of an easy triumph. AS he saw the cham
pionship slipping away from him, he for
got everything in the world save that
he wanted to win-and one of the primary
instincts is to devil the other fellow.
Jimmy took to standing where Narrower,
in the act of playing stroke, couldn't
help seeing him out of the corner of his
eye-and Jimmy didn't stand still. Twice
he coughed when Francis was at the top
of his swing. Once he handled an iron,
so that the light flashed back from it into
Harrower's eyes. There's nothing in the
rules against all this, of course
JIMMY won the seventeenth. The
championship hung on the last hole.
Narrower and | were standing together
at the tee when Jimmy came over to us
and stuck out his hand. Narrower took
it, and the gallery applauded diffidently

lose this match, I'm glad it's to you-be-
cause I'd hate to see you smeared twice

IL beg your pardon?" said Narrower.
IL said I'd hate to have you smeared
twice the same day
"That doesn't mean anything to me.

Narrower started "Whats that?"
"Well, naturally, it would be some con-
ISOLATION if you pulled through this-after
losing the >,ther."

We have stopped intentional fouling by
dividing fouls into two Classes-technical
and personal--and by disqualfying II

lily contact fouls.
Now, we have ruined the game to just
this eXtent-in 1908 when Harvard dropped
basketball colleges all over the East
dropped it-Amherst, Brown, NJ. l. r.,
Tufts and Others and the feeling against
basketball wasn't confined to New Eng

against the game came the constructive,
intensive work on the part of the COM
mittce We met with conferences for the
study of athletics. conferences with mem
bers of the faculties of the colleges that
had dropped the game. We wrote articles
for college and school publications. We
held meetings to interpret and explain
the rules. We made direct reference to
the coach who taught intentional rough
ness; we have, think. pretty well
smoked out this gentry by now. In
short, we made every intelligent effort
that busy men could in an avocation such
as basketball rule-making must be.
Progressive men from New England,
I'm Tower, of Williams, and from the
West, in Doctor Naismith of Kansas;
Doctor Cooke, of Minnesota, and Mr.. ST.
John, of Ohio, were added to the Rules
committee and two years ago Harry
Fisher retired. The Rules Committee has
been unanimous in it's beliefs since his
retirement.
And what has been the result of all
this work. There is no voice as far as
know certainly none of any great weight
raised against the game. Colleges every

been adopted as standard by the Y. NJ. c.
