It's strange stuff of which fame
is made for the greats in sports
And you never know what
quirk it will be that plummets g
man to renown. i. Take the case
of the now famous Ed Oliver.
And the purpose of this epistle is
to announce the st. Paul Open
Golf Tournament at Keller July
Is to %. And Ed Oliver is the
twist that gives it some color fol
this season.
You see, outside of Eds own
bailiwick a few weeks ago
darned few people had heard of
him. Perhaps he'd been in big
time golf but he hadn't shown
to advantage until-he played
in the National Open, reached
the final round. And then.
.. He went on to fame. ..
He got famous by being dis
qualified for teeing off too ear
ly I'm this final. Now here
Is q case Of an individual. Oh
liver must be one or else he
dropped his rule book just be-
fore that last match. Be
cause the lad was I'm q three
way tie with Gene .Sarazen
and Lawson Little who went on
in q S6-hole playoff. Oil

Thence, It would indicate from
this, that has labeled him color
full at any rate.
Advance posting by the commit
tee of the st. Paul event has spec
ulated on this fact. They have
also signed Sarazen and brought
back promise from Cleveland that
Little will appear. He did not sign
however. ;. The boys at st. Paul
are quick on the trigger to point
out that the appearance Of the
three again may be the battle Of
the century" A hackneyed phrase
but one that conjures up titanic
struggles among Herculean souls
What they have forgotten that
a certain battle of the century has
been raging in France for 10 these
many weeks. But no matter.
This is all the battling we
want. =.
You see, because said Oliver teed
off so quick they thought he was
Mercury they slapped his wrist
and counted him out. So the bat
tie between him, Sarazen and Little
didn't materialiZe at the National
Open. They hope 1t will in ST
Paul. It is quite within the realm
of possibility, they point out, that
the three may turn in Identical
scores-they hope. ). They qualify
it briefly with the appendix that
stranger things than that have
happened in golf before" Ev-

OF course in the next para
graph they let you down complete

thew have built up, with "at any
rate, Oliver probably will draw
tremendous gallery when he tees
off at st. Paul."
College is a great boon to
sports. Bob Vandesteeg mas
inst returned from graduation
from optometry college in Chi
cago. I find that since his
return even he can keep accur-
ate check on our table tennis
scores. Gable tennis used
to be known as ping pong, but
because that sounded a bit
