st Andrews, Scotland, May i0.---
 UP)--if records monn anything, and they must because everybody from plumbers to governments keep them, tho Walker cup skir. mlsh betwoon America and Gront Britain hero tomorrow md Sntur. day should Do decided by nothing moro substantial Shnn ono point.
 Twice sInGo It's inception in 1o2i tho ovent has been contested .0vor st Andrews, with tho Americans winning c to Q, and 8M to b M. Tho 1922 or c to c match iB tho standouk of tho sories, and saw tho lAmorlennB como through only after ono of tho finest rallies In sports history.
 Francis ouimoL American caps | tain, who has played in oil tho cup
 matches, in one of his Iittlo talks | td the younger members Of the team, used tho 1929 match to-day in pointing out that tho boys wore not to go discouraged if the British woro off to m carly load.
 "l remembor as well RB if it woro yost0rday," Ouimet said, "h0w we sat around tho night before thnt match started and fIgurod out how we'd mop up tho four- somo matches the first day, and NO haVo Q comfortable lead to work on in tho single. Well, wo were n pretty sad bunch the next night, having lost throo of tho four four. BomoB.
 "And for n while tho next day tho singles looked worsc. At ono tIme we woro down, collectively, no flower than 27 ~hoics. Nearly everybody was down anywhere from two to five at tho end Of IS. Whom we started the afternoon round our chances didn't seem to bo worth a nickel.
 On the 34th too with Roger Wothored two down, but managed to tie thanks to n putt on tho final 433, 1 couldn't sink again in 50 ycnrs. Fred Wright was in tho same fix with Ernest Holdorncss, but Fred went me ono better by taking tho last threo holes for . win.
 "Aii over the course 1t was the down at ono timo to Willis Me- Kenzic, but went crazy Co take eleven of tho first twelve holes of tho afternoon round, to win and {. Doc Willing had to sink q nino footer on tho final green to lick Willie Murray. It was Willing's putt, incidentally, which clinchod the cup.
 But the darndest comeback be- longed to Don Moe in 1880. He had a beautiful 72 on the first round against Bill Stout, but went to lunch four down. That was enough to break a mans heart, but Don didn't quit. Not even whom hc lost the first three holes of tho after noon round to 20 seven down. And he lost those three holes when Stout, who was red hot, got 3-3-3, two under par. Beginning at tho 22nd hold, Don started coming back, and he didn't quit until he had won seven of the next ninc holes to square the match. Even the British were pulling for him when he and Bill, all square, stood | on the tee of the seth hole. Don won it and the match when hc laid his iron second two feet from the cup. He had G7 that round, tho lowest ever shot in the match es.
 "So, if you boys find yourself | getting licked, don't despair. Just remember Moe and Rotan and Willing and--yes, Ouimet."
 "Ill remember that, Franc!s," drawled Gus Moreland, but you 1 won't mind if I try the Moreland system, willya?"
 Whats the Moreiand system 2" asked Ouimct.
 "Try and gete 'em 70 down and | work like the devil 10 make 1t | eleven" tCopyright 1924. by United Press) |
