Arthur Nehf pitched eXcellently
against the Yanks until he was hit
in the groin by a batted ball. He

he undoubtedly would have been hole
high.
The seventeenth hole at the Column
bia Country Club, Mackenzie's home
course, offers a grand test for a long
hitter. From the front tee it meas
ures 2S5 yards, from the back tee
900 yards. The play is from one hill
to another, with a valley between,
through which runs q. brook.
In front of the green the hill de-
sends with a sharpness that is pre-.
cipitous. 1t is impossible to roll a
ball up that declivity. If you drive
the green you have to carry all the
way. Roland has made the green
many times from the front tee. Once
he did it from the back tee, leaving
himself a 14-foot putt.
1t takes a high ball to carry 800
yards. On these shots he hits under
the ball, Sitting back" a bit on his

he doesn't try to be one. He really
believes Bobby Jones can outdrive
any one if he cares to do SO.
Before the 1926 Walker Cup
matches Roland and Watts Gum
played a practice round at Summing
dale with Bobby and George Won
Elm. With nothing att stake, Bobby
was hitting the ball as hard as he
could. Mackenzie says Bobby out
drove him that day
A good sample of the power that
Mackenzie can put into his woods
came at the thirty-sixth hole of the
first round of the 1924 amateur cham
pionship at Merton. The Washington
youngster was playing George Won
Elm.

The shot from the eighteenth tee
at Merton is over a. quarry, with q

beautiful drive, but Mackenzie missed
his, carrying the quarry, but stopping
in the rough.
He was 295 yards from the flag, but
he took out his spoon and dashed his
ball 20 feet from the cup. Won Elm,
who was Is yards in front of Roland,
played a. brassie shot that stopped on
the back edge of the green.

Mackenzie played them In 80 strokes.
This was largely due to great driv-
ing. On the fourth, fifth and seventh
holes, all measuring 900 yards or more.
he drove the green and got birdie
threes. On the second hole, about
500 yards. he was home with a drive
and spoon, for a birdie four. And
the course was wet.
Canmonading Scotchman.
The best driving he ever did, how
ever, was In the first round Of the
British amateur last summer at
Muirfield. Going out, with Guild, a
Scottish champion. as his opponent.
Roland slaughtered par of SO, over a
yardage of 3,444. by turning in a 80.
Most Of the time he was driving
into the wind. But he played low
screaming shots that annihilated dis
lance. OF those nine holes, Roland s
tee shots threatened or surpassed 800
yards. Four of the holes were par
5--No. s, 507 yards; No. s. ASS yards;
No. 8. 465 yards; and No. Q, AIS yards.
But on each of these he was home in
two.
On the 35S-yard second hole. with
side wind prevailing, he drove
hole-high and rang up a birdie three.
1t was the best cannonading he ever
has done. 1t looked the more impos-
ing because Guild was a short hitter.
I think that the best augury of
Roland MacKenzie's future as a golf
er is that these long drives mean
nothing to him. The average person

STAR
SHINES FOR ROSIES

The first college star to make. good
in his first year in professional basket
ball is Harold Cookie" Cunningham,
giant center, who will appear in the
lineup of the Cleveland Rosenblums
against Washington at the Arcadia
next Sunday and Monday nights.
Cunningham, who stands 6 feet 312
inches, and weighs 205 pounds, was
a star on Ohio State University's
quint for three seasons, twice being
named on all-Western fives as tap off
man. He averaged 10S points a sea-
son for three years, which is an ex-
cellent mark for II games of Big Ten
competition.
The big Rosenblum center also
holds what is believed to be a col
legiate record under the ruling that
each individual player must shoot the
fouls committed against him when he
Gagged % points in the Iowa Ohio
State clash during the season of
1924-25.
After several weeks on the bench
Cunningham ousted Rich Dieghan
from the regular center berth with
Cleveland this season, and he is prac-
tically certain to start against Wash
ington at the Arcadia.
