Knowing full we'll how the "old lady"

year its players may lift the inside"
ball on the green If it is within 6
inches OF the cup. Furthermore, the

for its approval.
I'VE are saving our comment for

told the Associated Press. Henry
Cotton, the British open champion,
commented angrily on the experiment.
British opinion is almost unanimous.
Team play between the two coun-
tries may in time become seriously
endangered If the U. s. g. A. formally
adopts the new rule year from now.
The American Walker Cup team will
not be permitted to do any lifting"
when it plays the British next sum-
mer at st. Andrews. There are bound
to develop what the British call "in-
cidents" in the years to come.
