The last time the rebel yell was

green's. All the old confidence, all
the old rhythm was gone. 1t was
pathetic to watch him step up to
a six-fOot putt-he who only a
few years before had made Gala
nifty Jane" a household word. He
literally shook and his face went
white under the pressure.
But yesterday he was the Jones
of Old Loose, easy, just a trifle
carefree Take his shot on the 18th
hole. A heavily trapped, narrow
mean par a. Badly in the woods
with his drive. he elected to play a
four-iron on his second and go for
the pin. He gave it all he had and
wound up putting for birdie 3.
That's something else about the
Jones of today. In his prime he
was the boldest of all players.
Tommy Armour in fact, attributes
most of Jones success to his abso-
Lutte refusal to play safe.
He is taking the gamble again
now It's all or nothing.
AS Jones confidence returned, so
did that of thousands OF GeorgianS.
He is their man and as word of
his low scores spread, they started
coming in. He had far and away
the biggest gallery yesterday, and
if he can stay among the leaders
for the first two days. all Georgia
will be here on Sunday to see him
make his bid down the pay-off
stretch of 36 holes.
And if he should win it, you won't
have to get the results over the
radio or in the newspapers. You'll
hear it--in one rebel yell that will
shake the eardrums of every pick
aninny, cause white caps on the
SWanee river, and knock every boil
Weevil off every boil of cotton In
the deep south.
