Witty Cox says that Sammy Snead,
the 25-year-old from White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, was the best looking
youngster he saw in half a season
OF campaigning around the Southern
golf circuit there must be something
to it. And when Gene Sarazen and
Harry Cooper and a flock OF other
pros say the same thing the Snead
boy must have lot on the ball besides
q mighty sock from the tee.
Witty paused alongside his tee shot
some 260 yards from the white mark
ers at Congressional and asked: Who
do you mean, the best one among the
old tournament golfers or the young
sters? Do you mean Guldahl or men
like him who have been around few
years or kids like Snead?"
That's it," we answered. Kids like
Snead." 1t was almost like putting

their belief that the Indiana senior

as I've been coaching him he's al
ways been pretty much heavy-fo footed
runner. Perhaps you've noticed that"
The implication was denied, but
Coach Hayes rolled right on.
We're beginning to break him of
that now. He ran very well in this
meet and by 1889 should be running
much better. What his best will be
then? really couldn't say. He's
tried almost all, and he's improving
in each one"
Hayes dove into his mental record
book, came up with statistics showing
that Don's best mile was the 4 min
utes l07s seconds he ran last year,
that his best $50 has been 1855. He
indicated that, in the next two years,
his sandy-haired, compactly- built,
pleasant faced prize pupil should be
able to improve appreciably on those
times.
