"plus one"
Westland, probably golf's most IA
nous poker face" claims the dis
tinction of being one Of the few anna
teur stars Of today who did not learn
the game from a professional. His
father, Canadian now residing at
Everett, Wash, taught Jack.
A 10 shooter himself, the elder
Westland took his son out golfing at
the age Of IL and had him breaking
80 before he was II years old. Today
Jack is 20, tall, straight, equipped
with muscles of steel and one of the
best fighting hearts in the game.
Westland can play q par tune with
his woods and short irons, but his
finest work is done with an old rusty
putter he has kept in his bag for Is
years and one of the most peculiar
putting stances in golf.
When he puts, Jack cocks his head
around so far that only his left eye
glimpses the ball, giving one the i'm
preston that he is about to putt
away from the hole. How he cans
his quits so brilliantly with such an
aim is mystery of golf.
Jack, who played on the University
of Washington links team in his COL
lege days and won the Pacific Coast
collegiate title In addition to placing
in the finals Of the national collegiate,
also rates as the most silent of
players. During match he seldom
talks or smiles.
Of the links he can't talk much
anyway. In the same brokerage office
with him in Chicago are two former
national amateur champions and
Walker Cup players. Chick Evans and
Bob Gardiner. Each has played on
three victorious cup teams. and they

and authorized me to seek the
sentiment of the other pros.
"I have talked to scores Of pro-

at the prospect Of such a tourna-
ment, because, for one thing, they
agreed, it would settle the question
of match play supremacy. After
each P. G. A. tournament some one
always raises the point that some
amateur is better match player
than the p. G. A. champion. Well.
