WASHINGTON, May 26.-Ninety per

Drive is Most Important
Shot of Present Day Golf
Oumet Not Convinced by Articles and Arguments to
Contrary-Cites Specific Instances to Prove His
Point-Good Driving Makes Match Easy or
"Strugge"

and two players, one a marvellous
putter and the other a fine driver.
The first man cannot reach the green
in two and the other can. Player
number one hits two of his best
shots and is not on. Player num-
Der two reaches the green on his
second. Now the first man must
either lay his approach dead or sink
long putt for possible half. The
second player not only has an al
most certain half but also a good
chance to win the hole.
For the sake of argument we will
assume that the second fellow
misses his putt and the first man
sinks his and gets the half. How
often will that happene How often
will the first man 60 down in one
putt on the greens? We know it is
tact that if golfer can average
two puts to the green in eighteen
holes OF play he is putting splen-
didly.
Now all this / set down here as
additional proof that the drive is
the test of golf today. Good driving
makes match an easy one or a
"struggle"-to get back to my
meaning of that word. And the man
who Struggles" in golf is one who
rarely gets by.
Omaha daily bee., 1920-02-15
BY FRANCIS OUIMET.

i had an interesting golf chat with
Charles Burgess, my clubs profes.
sional, the other day about that
much mooted question: Which is
the most vital shot in golf? Now
Burgess, by the way, understands
the game as we'll as any man |
know and what he says goes with
me.
While | appreciate the fact that
have written On this question before,
feel called upon to do so again be-
causse a different phase of it was
presented to me. To get right to
the meat of it let me say that lead
ing golfers differ on the subject just
as much as others. Jerry Travers,
for instance, has always maintained
that the putt is the big play of the
game, whereas Chick Evans and J.
H. Taylor back the irons. So it
goes on down the line.
| know | am ope ming up many an
argument when | maintain once
more that the drive is the most i'm
portant shot of the game. The last
time | came forth with this view
there was a lot of replies and articles
produced to show l was wrong. Bu'
none of them have CONVINCED me
am. There is that Pittsburgh tourna-
ment still cropping up to convince
me that wild driving from time to
time put me into many awkward po-
s'tions. Now on those holes where
| got off the tee in poor shape it was
never a question of my trying to
win each one in question. The i'm
mediate problem was to struggle for
4 half.
Will Eventually Win.
Now | use the word Struggle"
here intentionally, because it plays 4
strong part in my golf psychology.
When | am playing an opponent
who is keeping on even terms with
me by ho.ing long puts or laying
approaches dead tc the hole | soon
get the feeling that I have him well
in hand and will eventually win out.
This is. due to the fact that ! knoa
he is struggling and that sooner or
later one Of his struggles" will miss
connections
The same feeling comes over me
when, my opponent hits poor one
from the tee and my effort is good
Then l am quite comfortable, be,
cause. while he may get a half or
even win the hole, he certainly mas
to Struggle" to do so. On the othe-
hand ordinary play on my part vii,
undoubtedly hold him at bay; and
the chances are that | will take the
hole.
Consequently the man to fear is
the player who drives nice long
balls down the middle of the course
He's the fellow who is in position
to do things. The result is you are
inclined 70 believe you have 10
struggle" to defeat 'him-and
you do.
Now that is about the theory Bur-
CESS, my clubs professional has. In
our talk he kept expounding to me
the numerous advantages that went
with splendid drives and he cited a
rather good example to prove his
case, one that l set down here be-
cause it impressed me.

Nebraska Takes Longer End
Of 80 to 20 Score
Rough Play Marks
Game.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. l4.-The Mich
igan Aggies were again downed by
Coach Schissler's Huskers Saturday
night when the former took the short
end of 80 to 20 score. The game
was the Huskers all the way. They
had registered nine points before the
Aggies scored. Patty was again the
shining light with a total of 2l tai
lies. The game was marked by
rough play on the part of both teams
to some degree.
The Aggies, however, were re-
sponsible for more fouls than were
the Huskers. Gilkey, star forward
for the Aggie, was put out in the
second half of the game when he
made his fourth personal foul He
also had four technical fouls regis
tered against him.
Scheilenberg opened the scoring
for the Huskers with a field goal
from the center of the field. Patty
followed with free throw and a
field goal. Bailey and Smith each
added a goal and the score was 9
to for Nebraska. Gilkey then made
one point for his. team on foul
goal.
The half ended. % to 7. The same
teams took the field when the Sec
ond half sstarted. Both coaches
started sending in substitutes to-
ward the middle of the second half.
Players on both teams were called
for fouls often during the latter part
of the game. Michigan was making
a desperate effort to get in the lead
and Nebraska was returning their
agorcssiveness witt, similar action
