NJ INNEAPOLIS, August "a
nH Stripped of all super.num-
wv erary players. 81 survivors of
the qualifying rounds were
paired off today for match
play in competition for the national
amateur golf championship at Mini
kahda Club.
At the top of the draw stood George
Won Elm of Los Angeles in the first
match to defend his title, having
gained admission to hole competition
by virtue of a hard-earned 154, just
two strokes inside the limit of 1856, at
which IL golfers tied for the last seven
places.
At the bottom Of the lower bracket
was Bobby Jones, but he was there
through a scintilating performance
that equaled the record of 142 for
medal play in the event. Two years
ago, Clark Corkran of Philadelphia
made the same score, and three years
ago Dexter Cummings scored 1873 at
Lochmoor Club. Detroit, in the West
ern amateur.
Jones stood out head and shoulders
above the qualifiers after his record
of 31-36-67 yesterday but today
faced a possibility that a momentary
slump on his part might meet the best
gam Of an unheralded player in the
18-hole matches and cost him further
chance to redeem the title he lost to
Won Elm last year.

'|OWANS LEADING
LIVE STOCK SHOW
Lively Competition Among
Farmers at international
Exposition in Chicago.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, November 30.-Bedecked
with ribbons showing supremacy in
animal husbandry, farmers of the ira
ditional Tall Corn State, Iowa, ex-
pected to clinch honors for the largest
number of first places at the fnterna-
tional live stock exposition today.
Although denied blue ribbons in the
major grand championship events, the
Iowans were so far in the lead at the
twenty-seventh annual exposition that
nothing but long series of grand
slams by their closest competitors
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and California
could sweep the all-exposition victory
from their grasps.
Biggest Plum to California.
California, however. was apparently
satisfied, having won the biggest plum
Of the entire show-the grand steer
championship. This honor went to
California Stamp, crossbred An
gus-Shorthorn, bred and entered by
the University Of California.
Indiana also had reason to be
pleased, one of her sons. Chester Il.
Troyer of Lafountaine, having been
crowned corn king with a near.perfect
10-ear exhibit. Montana had the wheat
king, c. Edison Smith of Corvallis.
Among the State agricultural col
leges, the iowa state College, at Ames,
was far in, front. with those of Kan
sas, Kentucky. PENNSYLVANIA, Califor-
MIA. North Dakota, Illinois and In
diana bringing up the rear.
If the exposition were confined to
horses it proba bly, would be a run
away race for Ohio and Canada. Don
Vegas, entered by G. A. Dix of Della
ware, Ohio. won the American-bred
Percheron championship.
Winning Reserve Champion.
The reserve champion in that event
Is Hesitation Again, owned by G. S.
Sonner, also of Delaware. The junior
champion in that class was another
Ohio stallion, Sir Laet, entered by w.
H. Butler of Columbus.
Canada equines scored heavily In
the prize awards of the opening day,
Monday.
The most important events on to-
days program in the animal husband
ry competition were the intercollegiate
meat. Judging contest and John Clay
divisional competition for various
breeds of live stock. Both are col
legiate contests.
Prince Henry de Linge of Belgium
and Secretary Of Agriculture William
Jardine are familiar figures at the
exposition. Prince de Ligne will
award the King of Belgium's trophy
to the prize Belgian stallion tomorrow.

his way clear to accept the sugges-
tion, and sentenced the defendant to

Americas Healthiest Girl Named.
The crown of Americas healthiest
girl rests lightly on the brow of shy
Marie Antrim. whose bewilderment at
winning the championship was equaled
flashlights of photographers She fell
just short of being perfect, her score
being 99.15.
Young Christensen, the new boy
hsalth leader. also neared perfect fig
ureS with a score OF SO.
And as a style champion, Olive Van
Vuren had no peer. Her ability and
taste made her foremost in the All
fashion show.
Miss Antrim, whose parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Guy Antrim, have six other
children, is blue-eyed, bobbed and
pretty. But she could not understand
just what had won for her.
Il have no special diet" she said.

the College Springs High School last
Spring after an excellent scholastic
record. He won his letter at foot

He likes the farm, doesn't crave
q college education. but intends to
take a short course in agriculture
to help him in his work. His skin
is tanned and unblemished. Long
hours of farm work and plenty of
rest at night keep him in condition.
He doesn't bother much about girls,
but he does not dislike them.
Drinks No Coffee, He Says.
Plenty of milk and vegetables, no
