He used the word ''whensoever." :"
a word all inclusive as to time. He
spoke to the Americans Of his day,
of the immediate morrow and of 9TH

lieyed liberty worth fighting for and

Having broken through, the big.
silent Bostonian VIII be harder to
beat than ever.
In addition to his fine golGng
ability, his stamina will be a lead
ing factor as he is likely to be the
freshest man in the field after the
third round. in case he gets by
early opposition.
Guilford's long range and his fine
putting touch combine to give his
defensive stand a first-class chance
But facing Evans, Ouimet, Jones,
Gardner. Hunter, Johnston and six
or eight others, one bad round is
always enough to close the book.
There is no predicting any golf re-
suit. The ancient game is entirely
too replete with surprising turn
overs to be figured in advance.
Ouimet won his first fame In
Brookline. in 1913, when he stopped
Vardon and Ray. and 1t may be over
the same turf that he comes back
to glory. We could certainly pick
no individual star with better than
an even chance to beat him. Oui-
met shades the field with Jones.
Guilford and Evans closely punched
at his heels.
Miss Hollins and Miss Stirling are
the two prime favorites for the
women's championship with Miss
Glenna Collett only a stride Away.
Miss Hoilins had her greatest year
In 1913, and if she maintains this
same pace Miss Stirling must come
back to her best golf to have a
chance of winning. Miss Collett,
with another years experience,
won't be far away. Her game also
improved immensely last year. and
by next October she will be a for
midable factor Miss Stirling will
play less golf this season and that
means she will play better golf as
the former champion overplayed
herself between May and October.

even break in scoring. each team get
ing four points. In this frame,
Guyon shifted his lineup, sending
in a new pair of forwards-Thomes
and Weldon. The half ended, II to
10, in Eastern's favor.
When the second half opened
Guyon made another switch, yank-
ing Turner in ravor of Kent. This
was a otly-contested period and
Western, by a brief squirt, reduced
the opposition's lead to one point,
II to 16.
Western was dangerous for the
remainder of the game. After
Frisby missed two chances at the
foul line to deadlock the score,
O'Dea Gagged one, putting the figures
at is to 16. Frisby then tied the
count on one of the pret:iest plays
of the matinee. He took the ball
at the end of the court and dribbled
down for a goal under the basket.
Then O'Dea sent his team out in
front with his fifth basket. Frisby
again muffed at the foul line. Baird
then jumped into the limelight by
the rim for a 2-pointer, again
tying the score at 20 all.
O'Dea had another chance at the
free line and missed. On the next
play Re committed a foul and was
sent to the showers. When O'Dea
was chased, Cardwell was moved up
to center and Prender was injected
into the lineup.
With a few seconds to gn. Dornin
yanked the ball out of scrimmage
and tossed in the final goal of the
game.
