Flowers Tell Time

It is a simple matter to tell the
time if your watch has stopped, If
you have a knowledge of the actions
of different plants and flowers, so ma
ture lovers say.
An early riser is the goats beard,
which opens at three, hides it's yellow
face at eleven o'clock in the morning.
The cats cara yellow bloom found
on the roadside and the well-known
pink convolvulus wake at six o'clock.
Sharp at seven the scarlet pimpernel
opens it's eyes, to be followed at in
tervals of an hour by the hawkweed
and the ch1ckweed.
At noon the nippleworth goes to
sleep. The water lily retires at four.

Of the victor of a gladiatorial con
test standing over his vanquished
rival, looking toward the spectators
for their verdict. They are repre-
sented with thumbs down (the latter
being the meaning of the words police

the defeated. A well-knOwn philOlO
gist has passed the opinion that ''the
thumb symbolized the short Roman

the death of the vanquished gladi-

share of the prize money offered in
the South, snaring several tourna-
ments and finishing we'll up in others.
Considering this players own bril-
lance and the vast amount of golf
he has played and seen, there is high
tribute in his statement that the
greatest strategy he ever witnessed
on a golf course was engineered by
Arthur Havers, the Britisher, in win.
ming the British open from Walter
Hagen in 1923 at Troon.
"Havers made the grandest shot on
the seventeenth hole that I've seen
in all my life," says Smith.
1.-THE seventeenth at Troon, a par 8
hole measuring 230 yards, was, for
all purposes, a four-stroke hole dur
ing most of this tournament. and
especially on the last round.
Afraid to Make Attempt.
"Under prevailing conditions. all of
us were afraid to try for the green
from the tee.
1.-The seventeenth green is a plateau
affair, with deep traps at both sides
and in front, and during the 1923
tournament was as slippery as ice.
During the final round a regular gale
was blowing from the left. Those
who tried to drive the green with a
spoon, using either a hook or a slice.
came to grief, invariably going into a
bunker.
"As a result, Barnes, Hagen, Kirk
wood-all of us. in fact. who had a
chance to win--played from the tee
into rough at the right of the green.
Then we would chip over the bunker
on that side, hoping to get near
enough to the cup to hole putt for
3. but not much upset IL we took
4. There was plenty Of room for
a chip shot, as the only cup was set
10 feet from the bunker on the left
side of the green.
"Out of the coterie which had
started the final round with a chance
for victory / finally ended UP with
a total Of 297 and Joe Kirkwood had
2os. Havers and Hagen still were
out and 1t seemed that 295 would win
the championship.
"Havers. who was playing ahead of
Hagen, and who had established a
two.stroke lead over Walter at the
start Of the round, came to the sew
enteenth needing two 4s for 295.
But, instead of shooting for a 4 on
the seventeenth, he elected to try for
par 8.
"1t was daring strategy, but he
had the nerve and skill to try it. Ig-

The Yale star thus secured his place
among the greatest of modern jump
ers. but Templeton points out that the
real record-shattering in the period
since the war has been done by four
others, including Bob Legendre and
three famous negro stars, Sol Butler,
Ned Gourdin and De Hart Hubbard.
A product of Dubuque College.
Iowa, Butler, Templeton notes, jumped
"a feet 9ia inches at the interallied'
games in Paris, 1919, on an extremely.
wet and slippery runway. With
firmer footing he easily might have
added foot to his mark. The next
year. in the Olympic tryouts, Butler
did "a feet s inches in spite Of bad
take-off.
Then" continued Templeton. came
Gourdin of Harvard, who broke O'Con-
nor's world record of "a feet 11%
inches with leap, of 25 feet 8 inches.
The most startling athlete of all
was the third of the famous trio of
negro jumpers, Hubbard of Michigan.
| From the first year of his college COM
petition the only conjecture as to his
| performance in every meet was
whether or not he would do 25 feet. He
| beat this mark many times, but fell
! just short of Gourdin's record, but he
| capped the climax last Summer at
Chicago by jumping 25 feet 107s
| inches for a worlds record.
| "A year before this dramatic climax
to Hubbard's college career another
man upset the athletic worlds idea of
the broad jump possibilities For years
| Bob Legendre, the wonderful all
around athlete from Georgetown. had
competed in meets as a broad-jumper
without startling any one. After fin
| ishing his college career he was con-
| sidered to have lost much of his old
speed and spring, yet. competing in
| the pentathlon at the Olympics. in
1924. he jumped 25, feet 612 inches for
| a new worlds mark.
1T isn't any wonder, therefore, that
people do not give Comins' mark much
consideration or expect 1t to survive
for long. But it must be remembered
that Gourdin and Legendre competed
their full three years in /. c. A. A.
A. A. meets without displacing
Kraenzleins S old record. Only such a
star at his best can hope to beat it.
To my mind that "a feet inches is
really great. an achievement which
think will survive an onslaught of
many college generation"
