emperor-O. B. Kee1er-Bobby Jones
bicgrapher and crack golf writer, will
accompany the team and write pieces
on the play of Jones and the others,
with emphasis on Jones. 30 will Scott
Chisolm of California, who will devote
much of his writing to the deeds Of Don
Moe and DR.. o. F. willing, the PACING
Coasts representatives on the team.
The resolution passed by the District
association proclaimed that the local
golf body believes the alternAtes should
accompany the team, in case one Of the
team members breaks an ankle or twists
his putting stroke, which would put
Roland Mackenzie and Maurice Nc

And now comes the hard.hearted
U. s. q. A. with the declaration that
the Walker Cup team Is made I'D Of

the United States must loose q point.
AS we recall them, the Walker Gun

has not done 80 for many years, but he
still is able to hold his own in any

years ago.
Ed Eynon Is driving the ball 30 far
from the tee that he makes the short
game easy and his putting IS accuracy

shot to the third green and hole the
putt for q birdie 3.
Away back two decades ago Eynon
the late DR.. L. Lee Harlan, ed Brooke
and John G.. Davidson were the out

was the youngest and most brilliant
of the quartet, and although he was a
shade behind the consistent Harlan
he managed to win many tournaments
In 1917 he annexed the Midatlantic
after having won the District amateur,
and was generally ranked as Washing
toms leading player.
OF late years he has not played tour
nament golf, but that does not mean
he cannot Probably II Eynon entered
the invitation events today he would
upset some of the youngsters who we're
barely able to toddle when he was q
big timer
