BOB OLINK CLUB, HIGHLAND
PARK, Ill, Aug. 24-Two past
champions and two young men OF
the new school paired off here today
in the serni-f1nal round of the West
ern Amateur golf championship.
Chick Evans. who eight times has
won the championship, was pitted
against Frank Dolp, Portland, Ore.
who won the event in 1926.
Gus Novotny of Chicago met Law
renee Moller, Quincy, ILL.,, in the
match to decide which of the young
players will compete in the title
contest of SO holes Saturday.
Novotny consistently has upset
speculations of tournament OBJ
servers. He first blasted Bon Stein,
defending champion, then belittled
the prophesies of experts by down
ing the hardy DR.. o. F. Willing of
Portland, Ore, one up in the second
days match play.
Quarter final matches resulted as
expected with the exception of the
Novotny match. Chick Evans de-
feated Kenneth Hisert Of Chicago,
6 and 5, and Frank Dolp eliminated
Ira L. Couch, Chicago, 4 and 3.
Moller advanced to the semi-flnals
over Rial Rolfe, Chicago.

Panama, he selected for the leadership
man who had been noted for his
quiet, faithful performance Of duty in
all circumstances. A capable engineer
an exceptional administrator, gifted
with the golden quality of silence, Col
Goethals. as ne then ranked. proved to
be the ideal man for the job. He went
to Panama without proclamation OF
purpose. save to the effect that he in
tended to make the dirt fly.
To say that Goethals built the Pam
anna Canal is to attribute too much to
him. He finished 1t. on the excellent
foundations laid before he was as
signed to that duty. But 1t is not too
much to say that he finished 1t in sur
prisingly short time and In remarkably
efficient manner. He made short cuts
through administrative confusion. He
infused the entire working force with
the spirit of accomplishment. He solved
technical problems with little exposition
Of their complexity.
To the people of the country Goethals
achievement was the more striking be-
cause of the delays and disappointmentS
that preceded his detail. He did not
shroud his work In mystery. but pro-
ceeded with his task as If 1t were mainly
his business and not a matter that war
ranted frequent announcements and
bulletins. His taciturnity was at times
irritating to those who were anxious
lest the work was again tagging. Grad
ually. however, confidence spread that
silence meant achievement and there
was no fear on the score of the COM
pletion Of the canal in due season.
There was nothing spectacular about
Goethals. He was an engineer. accus-
toned to dealing with obdurate ma
terials, and he concentrated upon the
task. That he completed 1t ahead OF
time was characteristic of him.
