Banagan, Backbone of Golf at Columbia Club,
Unique Mixture of Diplomat, Kindly Despot

Any day Of the year around noon
you can see Red" standing in the
locker room, pencil and paper in hand,
waiting for the golfers as they come
in the door. Got a match, Mr.. Quen-
tell?' asks Red" Nope" says Carl.
You play with Bob Quirk, and you
give him up," says Banagan. That's
the way Of it. No questions asked.
They know Banagan is fair in his
handicapping. and where there might
be an argument elsewhere there isn't
any argument with Banagan's matches.
Through the years they have found
him so eminently fair that no one
questions his arrangements. OF course,
part OF the system Is the fact that no
one gets hurt in the pocket at Colum-
bia. The usual match there Is for a
dollar. with a 50-cent bye, and any
club member can afford to lose buck
and a half.
Arthur B. Shelton, the veteran Sec
retary Of the club, was talking about
Banagan. We've seen him, man and
boy. for 2o-odd years." said Arthur.
I can't imagine q more valuable man
or q man with finer personality than
Red" he said. I'VE almost had to
tell him to get out to make him go on
this trip. And then he didn't want
to leave until after the week end. He
thought something might go wrong
while he was away.

Red" ought to be happy on his

for a while, so long as the newness Of
his surroundings lasts. But we'll take
guess that he'll be back within q
couple weeks. on the job again, where
they told him to stay away for .

He isn't happy anywhere except at
