Gossip of the Golfers
BIZ GRANTLAND RICE"

Ned Sawyer's fortytwo-hole victory
at Midlothian, establishing record IN
championship affairs, brings up one
queer twist in golf psychology. At the
twenty-seventh hole Maxwell, his OPP
ponent. was up. At the end of thir-
ty-three holes he was 3 up and 3 70
plav. A collapse here gave Sawyer his
chance. Maxwell lost three holes In
a row. Under ordinary conditions any
golfer who had such a lead shot away
would have utterly collapsed. The
stunt of going six extra holes under
such conditions was well beyond the
normal psychological span.
Almost the same thing happened sew
eral years ago in match between w.
! Travis and II. H. Wilder at Garden
City. Wilder was 4 up and but 4 to
go. Travis won the next two holes.
At the thirty-ffth Wilder was four
feet from the cup on his third and
Travis was thirty feet away on the like
with a double slope in the green TO
face. The long putt had to travel up
one ridge, break down and then curl
upward again. Travis then made what
Jerry Travers calls the greatest putt
he has ever seen. He dropped the ball
squarely into the cup for his 4 and
Wilder promptly missed from a short
distance. Travis then won the thirty
sixth hole and squared the match. But
after losing four holes in a row Wilder
got going again and carried the battle
on 20 the forty-first cup before he was
finally overthrow.
Another feature match at forty holes
was the battle between Oswald Kirkby
and Max Marston al Englewood last
spring. Kirkby apparently had the
tfirty-sixth hole won, but Marston
dropped a niblick shot from below
steep bank within fifteen inches of the
cup for a half. The two then battled
on even terms with par golf until
Marston finally missed a 3foot putt on
the fortieth hole for a half.
Yesterdays meeting between Ned
Sawyer and John c. Anderson recalls
their clash last summer in the amateur
championship at Merton. They fought
all even duel for thirty-six holes. On
the first extra hole Sawyer was on IN
while Anderson was twenty yards
short. Sawyer looked TO have the
match sewed up. Anderson clipped 10
within seven feet of the cup on his
third, while Sawyer's approach putt

While the steady advance in the

While the steady advance in the
price of meat, and the paganda
directed against excessive meat eat
ing, have both resulted in the
amount OF meat consumed per
capita, there is still considerable
overeating on meat.
Meat should never be eaten more
than once a day even by those
who do hard, physical labor; and
let us remember that meat includes
eggs, fish and fowl-any one OF
these foods once a day is sufficient.
Overeating on meat causes a ire
mendous waste in grain supply. 1t
has been estimated that at least
four pounds OF grain is needed
to produce one pound OF meat in
animals used for food. One pound of
sir DIN steak yields 1.155 calories
of heat in the body, while the four
pounds of grain needed to produce
this one pound of flesh food, will
yield over 5000 calories of heat
when used in the body. In this
way any excess OF meat over and
above the moderate amount actually
needed in the body for a specific
purpose becomes very expensive
food

Experience has shown that longer

the additional cost of the oversize,
