Jones Never "Coasted."

n ACK in the days when Bob Jones
II was rampaging up and down the
land, winni4 g 13 major tourna-
ments in eight years, he knew how
potent is the threat-how confident
becomes the ability-of a gent who
begins to win holes when he Is far
down. Bob never let EN- get their
heads up. He turned on the heat
when they were down and slaughtered
'em by the most colossal margins
known to golf.
He took no chances. Two up?
Let's make it three. And then let's
make it four. And five, and so on.
Bob knew we'll that holes slip away
like sea sand when the other fellow
gets the bit in his teeth. and that
nothing aids ebbing confidence more
than a couple of holes knocked of
long lead.
That's the lesson Billy Dettweiler,
and Maury Nee must learn If they
are going anywhere in their chosen
game-to crush the other fellow by as
many holes as possible; never to with
hold the winning punch and to win
as far away from the club house as
possible.
Both of 'em are youngsters-Maury
is only 19 and Billy is 16. They
haven't yet been through the fire long
enough and hard enough to find out
that the most merciful beating they
can administer is the one by the
widest margin. But they will learn.
for both of 'em have a lot of golf in
them.

DETTWE|LER, NEE
TAUGHT ALESSON /
Both Lose in Big Matches 7Y
After They Apparently "
Have Them Won.
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.


A COUPLE of golfing lads
" around Washington, both
~ of whom have rosy fu-
lures as links champions
in the making, must learn that
golf is no pat ball game and
that when they get a man down
they cannot coast home to vic
tory before they can go far in
the tournaments ahead of them.
Maury Nee, the all-around athlete
who graduated from Georgetown Prep
few days ago with highest laurels.
and Billy Dettweiler. who is a student
at the Hoya Prep School, are the lads
who must learn that when they get
a fellow 2 down they must get him 3
down and that when they are dormie
5 up they must try and win the next
hole
Match play golf is that kind of
game. There are too many kinks and
quirks along the bunkered pathway,
too many astounding things can hap
pen ever to relax and attempt to
coast home after a lead has been
piled up.
No better example ever has come
up anent this "coasting" business in
the drama of match play than Billy
Dettweiler's match in the semi-final
Of the Columbia tournament against
Ernie Caldwell, the lanky sharp
shooter from Hillendale, who eventu-
ally won the biggest local golf joust
of the year.
Playing II holes in under par.
Billy was up with to go on
Ernie. He had Caldwell groggy, await
ing the knockout blow, and then, at
tempting to coast home. saw the
match vanish from his grasp when
Caldwell laid him a stymie on the
nineteenth hole. Maury Nee did much
the same thing against Bobby Brownell
in the scholastic tourney a few weeks
back.
