was sound golf all the way, the kind

could be counted on the fingers Of one
hand and. considering that another
strong wind prevailed, his performance

Ouimet says he is feeling fine and
he certainly looks to be in better health
than in long time. There is never
any question about his golf, so that II
his health continues good we may say
this is the first of series of long tri
unphs this year. Olimet will compete
in the amateur title meet and other
tournaments of note this season, and
right now we cannot see how any one
is going TO beat him out.
