he will not become a competitor in

Bob is determined not to resume his
old ways as the most formidable golfer
in the big title affairs of the links.
But even though he is firm in his de-
termination not to become again the
foremost figure In the field of compe-

starting off the current year with his
entry in the initial tournament to be
held by his own pet club-the Au-

first tee down there at Augusta will
have in it all the elements of drama
that have been lacking since he
turned his back on competition Once
more it will be Jones against the
deld-with the master again the
popular favorite. But since 1890
when Bob quit the game-the scoring
pace has become faster, new winners
have appeared and, best of all, the
pros have gained a new spirit. Bob
should win the tournament. but he
will be no cast-iron cinch to win. At
the age of 80 he still is the worlds
finest piece of golfing machinery. but
itsn't it possible that nearly four
years of tournament inactivity have
dulled the keen edge of his will to
win?
Another angle to the picture is that
this tournament has received the
finest bit of ballyhoo ever put on on
behalf of links affair which does
not carry with it national title,
solely because the one-tirne emperor
again is to cast his driver in the

national tournament scene.
IT have talked with Bob many
times on this matter" Keeler says.
