Little Blows Short Ones.

r AWSON LITTLE, far off the form
and tenacity he showed to de-
~ throne Ross Somerville on Thurs
day. never really got his nose out in
front of Dunlap in the semi-flnal. He
did get l up twice in the morning
round. but he couldn't hold it, after he
put on a fine show to win four OF SIX
holes in the middle of the round, there
by converting three-hole deficit into
one-hole advantage. But Dunlap, TAX
ing only one putt on each OF the last
three green's, went to lunch up.
In the afternoon it was all
Dunlap, for again the New York
er won the first hole, and after
that he never was worse than
up. No gent can miss as many
4-foot puts as Little missed yes
terday and go anywhere in this
championship.
The same puts that rolled into the
hole against Somerville, brushed the
edges of the cup against Dunlap, while
George was deadly with the blade OF
his aluminium putter. Only once dur
ing the day did he miss a holeable
mutt and he sank so many and
footers he had Little dizzy. That match
was won less than 10 feet from the cup
and the better putter won it. OH the
tee Little outranged Dunlap by any
where from 20 to 80 yards.
Marston, playing the 1S-year-
old Munger, outmaneuuered the
kid from TEXAS at eUery turn.
He mad Munger congratulating
him ON his good shots, Which is
q bad thing to do in major league
golf, where nothing but good
shots are erpected.
Munger seemed a little awed by the
reputation of his opponent and instead
of concentrating on the hard-hitting
game he employed to beat Westland and
Esan, he played Marston's game. When
ever Max wandered from the line, Mum
ger did the same. The result was IN
evitable and Marston waded through
the mud and s!uSh to 6-and-o victory

When Class Will Tell,

!TT is possible" said brilliant
coach not much more than a
decade ago, ito get along at a
pinch with mediocre guards" He
added that if you are reduced to the
necessity of using one inferior player
to fill out your team, guard Is the po-
sition for him.
Well, probably in some measure
the rule still holds coed, mas
much as a lively center on one
side and a crack tackle on the
other, a supporting quarterback
yards behind, will carry him
along-until teams come along
that require a lot Of beating.
Then your inferior guard spells the
difference between defeat and victory.
If Fats Ellinger and Moe DAILY de-
velop a guard to replace Milton Sum-
merfelt that guard will be one of the
most important members of the eleven.
He will be a man gifted with ability to
extend himself over territory so large
as to make the rest of the line seem
more powerful than it really is.
In his offensive stance he will SO
deceive that no opponent knows whether
he is going to charge ahead or pull out.
In charging ahead he will seldom be
knocked down as he pursues his deVaS-
tating course.

N 10 years ago at Flossmoor, be-
coming a member of the Il Beat

semi-finalist back in 1915 at the De-
troit Country Club, before he put on
the weight he packs around with him
at the mature age of Al. In between
he has done exactly nothing, outside
of being member of a couple of
Walker Cup teams, the last one seven
years ago Dunlap. 25-year-old son Of
a wealthy New Yorker, semi -flnalist
in the British Amateur championship
this year, and a good golfer in the
past. has been noted chiefly for his
stellar play at PinehurSt. where he eX-
GELS on those sand greens and where he
learned the chipping and putting which
has carried him to the final in this
championship
Never before has little George,
who weighs not more than 135
pounds. been beyond the third
round in the national. Marston,
on the other hand. is a portly
gent. the perfect picture of the
middIe-aged banker. blessed with
years, prosperity and big tummy.
He weighs something more than 200
pounds Dunlap is the dashing D'Ar-
tagnan, fencing with the finesse OF the
master; Marston the Porthos, who re-
lies on strength and endurance to win:
Not that Max doesn't have bag full
of golf shots. He has all of them. but

contestants is marked.

Marston is the Babe Ruth who poles

golf course. In turn Dunlap has beaten

Held and w. Lawson Little, jr.. while
Marston has won his way to the final
by trouncing no less distinguished eol1-

scholastic champion from Hill School,

1t has been too funny championship
to hazard a guess as to the winner; too
many times the dope bucket has been
kicked around. The championship may
well hinge on a three-foot putt on the
thirty-sixth green. My guess is that
If Dunlap is not too tired from the
strain, he should win, for he is young,
never has won the title before, and Is
certainly as good golfer as Marston.
But Max. the iron man, has taken
new lease on life and has changed lot
from the foot ball he used to be after
he won 10 years ago. Time was when
any gent could come along and cuff him
out of the tournament, but he has been
tough out here He must like the West.
for it was in Detroit he first went to
the final, at Chicago where ne

it, is a very obvious indication Of
worthy purpose.
