Odds Against Gardner.
Bob Gardner was never considered
quite in the class with Jones, Evans,
Ouimet and Travers and when he was
at Muirfeld in 1920 he was not con-
sidered very dangerous. He was
quoted at 25 to l in the betting In
Benny Savers book and some of our
Americans did not jump to take ad-
vantage of these odds Another case
is that of Freddie Wright who lasted
longer than any of his team mates in
the championship at. Hoylake two
years ago. Freddie is good golfer,
but of all, he was least expected. to
make good.
1t may be some of the less known
members of the team who will rise to
the greatest heights this year Little
is known of DIR. o. P. Willing of Port
land l have had the pleasure of
playing with him several times and
found him to be a first-class golfer,
much better than 1 had expected. He
hits a long low ball and it travels
a long way. He is pretty sure to be
straight down the course also. The
doctor has keen eye. While on the
coast last fall l went on a hunting
trip with him and he bagged most
of the game and 1 had fancied my
self a good shot too. He is a first
class putter and this will count at
Deal more than anything else.
George Roam of Texas is anoth err
that will bear watching. 1t should
not surprise me to see him go long
ways in this tournament. He is a
very long driver and plays his iron
shots we'll. Rotan has much tourna-
ment experience, although he has
never won any big title.
o o O
Capable Golfer.
Harrison Johnston needs on intro
duction. He is one of the youngsters,
and a very capable golfer. He has
played in two of our championships
and has done we'll. His game is
sound in every way and he possesses
plenty of courage. 1t might be his
year to do something big. The same
might be said of Dave Heron who
won our title at Oakmont three years

BY WALTER HAGEN
british Open Champion and Core
spOndent of The Age-Herald and
North American Newspaper
AlliauCP.)

The American amateurs have had
plenty of practice over the Deal links
by this time and should know the
know Deal. 1t is the hardest golt
course to get acquainted with l ever
knew. When Jim Barnes and l play
ed there three years ago, we had our
troubles. Jim's remark was char
,acteristic of the course when he said
Il have played half dozen rounds
over the links now and we are still
strangers, l might play a dozen more
rounds and still feel the same way
about this course
1t has always been my contention
that a good golfer can adapt himself
to conditions quickly. If one has a
variety of shots he will find some of
them suited to a seaside course.
Sandwich, which is just next door
was more friendly to US and we
evolved the problems there much
quicker than we did at Deal.
Our American team, 1 am sure, is
on a par with any ten men in Great
Britain and l think the team match
to be played later at st. Andrews
will prove this Therefore, if they
are to be beaten at Deal when each
man is out for himself, it will be on
account of the overwhe Ginning num-
hers against our boys.
O O O
Too Much Advice.
l am afraid some of the team will
be killed off by too much advice. This
is likely to happen to the youngsters
or some of the less experienced who
not only get an ear full every time
they care to stop and listen but go
out seeking Information.
One wants to keep this in mind.
The British golfers are going to have
plenty of trouble at Deal if the wind
blows. Amateurs on the other side
are not always playing on the seaside
links. Most of the players live in
land and have had no more expert
ence than our own players.
When one is handed too much ad-
vice they are apt to play much worse
than If they had no list of "donts" to
worry about. 1t is a strange fact that
some of our greatest stars have made
a worse showing abroad than some of
our lesser lights. Bobby Jones, Chick
Evans Jerry Travers, Francis Oumet
and Jess Guilford went over loaded
down with instructions and friendly
advice. Much, was expected from
them but history records the fact that
