later told me I could sit on the seat
because no one could see me after
dark. We again stopped and this
time the car left us.
i was awfully cold so I asked If /

ed up and down with me then, SO that
I could warm up.

other stop. Here was taken out of

Shot a Sub-Par 7z on Old Golf Course at St
 Andrews

St Andrews, Scotland. May B. (UP) - America's Walker cup forces were cheered today when Johnny Goodman, ace or tho squad. shot a sub-par 72 on the old course at St Andrews. The United states open golf champion equaIled par 90 going out, and clipped one stroke from par 37 coming home. Johnny's short game which has been worrying him con- siderably was in excellent order today, and he would have scored much better if his putting had been up to his standard.
 Lawson Little, who has been hobbling about In carpet slippers due to q strained tendon in the right, foot, was improved today and planned to play a round late in the day. The other "cripple, Gus Moreland. who has been suf- fering with a slightly swollen knee. shot a 75. His round was the next best to 0oodman's, Jack Westland having toured the course In 7s, while Chandler Egan had n 7e. and George Dunlap and so. The British contingent continued to shoot steady if not especially brilliant golf. Two of the Macs. Aric Nc. Ruvie and Jack Mclean, were but two strokes past par with 1s's. which also was the score made by Roger Fethered. Harry BentIey had a 78 as did Eric Fiddlan. This was onimeta birthday and the American players planned sur prlae party, with ''cake and every thfHH's for toaIzhf.
