"HE play then would be, II the
Il angle was right, to stroke the
ball for the corners where the
6-inch area presents itself. But the
biggest factor in favor of the square
cup would be the fact that the ball
which hits the back Of the cup would
be striking against a fiat surface in
stead OF a rounded surface. 1t would
have no effect on the ball which
barely drops into the cup from the
near side, but 1t would have a tre-
mendous effect on those puts which
rim the cup and stay outside. Most
OF that kind would drop into and stay
In a square cup, where they now pop
out and cause golfers to 60 into men,
tai tantrums.
The rules and regulations governing
the ancient game being what they are
there isn't much chance to change
either the golf cup by legislation or
the main rules governing the game.
They are good rules and have stood
the test of time. But there is and
has been plenty OF furore about al
legged overemphasis on putting. with
some foundation, when it is consid-
cred that putting par is 36. Just half
the. strokes on the normal par 72 golf
course.
In our opinion the square cup would
reduce the present emphasis on putting
and would result in better scoring for
duffer and expert alike. 1t is worth a
trial, at any rate, for II cannot do any
harm.

Earn Dettweiler Magic" 73

-HE young man rebels against
going above 73 on his home
golf course. No matter how
A poorly he may hit his shots on
the first nine holes. along about
the middle of the second nine Bully
Dettweiler gets 1t in his head that he
Is going 10 shoot up TO some extrava-
gantly high score like rs. for example,
and then he really begins to take his
golf seriously.
1t happened yesterday at Congress
sional, where the youngster Just
couldn't get started until the last four
holes. It really was too bad, too. For
Billy took a terrible 80 on the first
nine. which Is above par, and when
he came TO the fourteenth it ap-
peared as II he was going TO shoot up
to something foolish like a rs. OF
course there are a lot of folks who
wouldn't give much more than their
right arm for rs, but to Billy that
was Just too much.
So what does ne do7 He steps out
and gets himself three brides in the
next four holes, starting at the fif-
teenth and finishes with the old "a,
the magic figure. Billy Just cannot
seem to go higher than that.
A 20-footer slid into the cup for a
on the f1fteenth. A 4-footer went
home at the sixteenth. and at the
seventeenth he barely missed a IS
foot try for his third straight bird.
AT the eighteenth he drove to the
edge OF the green, where he had a
bad lie. and took a putter. He didn't
do so well with this shot from 40
feet away, for had the ball turned
over once more 1t would have gone
into the cup for an eagle deuce.
Poor Billy. He just cannot hit his
shots at all. Where 10 to most folks
is just part of a telephone number. to
young Billy 1t is his daily ambition.
And II he misses it at all he misses
only by shot, usually on the lower
side. Gosh, I'd like 10 finish like
that some day when / am about z
down with 4 to play" said Billy.

bliss Of Beaver Dam failed to return a
card.
II GLAND MACKENZIE has a new
N method of handicapping which
seems, he says, TO work out fair
ly well. Instead of conceding holes
up or strokes, Roland adds q number
of strokes to his own score. 1t works
like this: Playing with partner who
scores about 80 against two men of
about IS caliber, Roland adds strokes
to his own score.
A couple of days ago he gave 16
strokes. which meant that he added
a stroke to his score OH all but two
holes. One of his opponents scored
8S. Roland had a 70, and with the
Is strokes added, ne also scored an 8s.
It's new and for pro 1t works out
well.

disillusioned woman with temper of her own.
She flrsts loves Johnny Talland, without seeing
