1t is a classic of wide importance for
Jayhawker golfers. -.i--l
The golf played by Barnes and
Hutchison will be especially interest
ing due to the difference IN the
Shawnee and Country club courses.
The former course is of a sport ma
ture, naturally rolling and dipping
and equipped with sand green's. Most
of the courses in Kansas are sand
greened. The Country club is a grass
greened links. The methods of ap-
preaching the two sets of greens will

Fullerton Gives Lessons.
Bob Fullerton. probably the most
famous of Topeka golfers, perched his
angular frame upon a hard counter
in his hardware store this morning
and delivered little lecture on the
ethics of golf that would have been
worth many lessons to beginners at
the game.
To begin with Bob knows his
stuff He was reared in Scotland
with golf sticks in his handsome
in his fingers. He doesn't believe in
the American style of giving lessons
by word of mouth.
when we came over to this coun-
try" said Bob, and began teaching
you Americans how to play golf, we
being told everything. You Americans
didn't then and don't now have that
ability of absorbing information by
watching. The means of information
in America is by asking questions
Bob shifted his cigar to the other
corner of his mouth and continued:

cover in Scotland when we gave
lessons, the one taking instruction
made. He would mimic our very
stroke, our stance-everything. Very
few questions would he ask. It should
be that way always. OF course the
man of America, just taking up the
game is stiff, and awkward. He goes
into action on the swing just like a
lumber wagon. But gradually his
muscles set to the clubs, and the
swing-until he shoots a pretty fair
game
Fullerton's object in the above re-
marks. was just to bring attention to
several points in watching the play of
Barnes and Hutchinson, Friday
These two famous players won't
have time to stop and answer lot Of
questions as they go around the
course. And they probably won't
want to. They'll be too interested in
their play.
But admonished Bob, "just
watch them and you'll get enough for
a thousand lessons"
cit is the lads just reaching man
hood like 'Boney' Bonebrake and
Pete Middleton that are going to en-
joy and benefit most from the
matches. The kids can go out in the
back yard when they go home and
mimic Barnes or Hutchinson to
nicely. And if they'll follow up the
strokes and other forms of play like
these two pros-they'Il have some
thing of inestimabIe value in their fu-
ture game"
