A GOOD BOOK TO READ
THE CUP AND THE SWORD
Alice Tisdale Hobart
BObbs- Merrill S2.75

(Reviewed by Miss. Bertha Faust,
Phi. D.. Instructor in English, Wash
ington College, Chestert0wn, Md
Alice Tisdale Hobart's The Cup and
the Sword is an interesting novel
which tells the story of a California
family during a period Of almost
twenty years It is almost history
of the grape producing region Of Cal
ifornia; and the reader gets a vivid
impression of the country - ardent
sun, crumbling ashy soil, mile after
mile of cultivated vineyards and bril-
liant grain fields, the blue Sierras
on the horizon.
The story begins in 1928. Eliza
beth Rambeau has come to California
to recuperate from an unhappy love
affair. She has always lived in Eu-
rope with her expatriate father, and
the other members of her family are
quite unknown to her. AS she meets
them one by one we see them through
her eyes.
The most interesting member of the
family is its founder, JeanPhilippe
Rambeau, who came from Alsace as
a penniless boy. He is now over
eighty, fine and sensitive old man,
proud of his French heritage and
mystically devoted to the beautiful
vineyards which his love and skill
have brought into being. He has
realized all his ambitions; he is very
wealthy; his wines are equal to the
best European vintages; he has a
large and loyal family; but his mind
is gradually breaking under two great
sorrows. The first is that the Pro-
hibition Act has branded as criminal
the occupation which has been almost
a religion to him; and the second is
his realization that his family is be-
ing disrupted by wealth, by the ac-
quisitiveness which he himself has
given is as an inherited trait, and by
the violence and unscrupulousness of
The times.
Old Philippe dies unhappy. His
children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren go on, to meet poverty
and sorrow in various ways and to be
changed by their experiences. AS the
book draws to a close, the reader is
made to feel that the spirit of the old
man is still active in his descendants
and that the Rambeau family is, af-
ter all, not unworthy Of its founder.
This novel can be highly recommend
ed to the reader who wishes to escape
for a few hours from war-torn today
into thoughtful and, at times, gentle
yesterday.

His Pro Is Surprised
More Than Champion
By Title victoy

Among q lot Of surprised people
around town, including the new
champ himself, no one was more
surprised when Bill Bailey won the
District amateur golf championship
than George Diffenbaugh. pro at
Kenwood. where Bill plays.
II called him up to congratulate
him." said George. He told me he
was as surprised as any one. But
I'm sure he wasn't as surprised as
I was. You see we didn't know
much about Bill here at Kenwood.
I knew he was q fairly good player.
I'd seen him play with his dad on
Sundays and noted that he had 4
good swing and that he hit that
ball straight. But no one had told
me he was . champion In the max.
Ing and ! guess he didn't think 80
himself.
Guess what he said afterward?
He said, George, I was really
lucky. My best round was rs. and
I won matches with IT'S"
But that isn't the real story. The
true yarn is Of q youngster with a
lot Of courage, good golf shots and
the will to win. Bill Bailey was the
best in the tournament and that's
all there was to it. His modesty It.

in varsity football has fiared anew
in the Southern Conference, but DR..
A. w. Hobbs of North Carolina,
president Of the group, said that he
had received no request for a meet
ing Of representatives Of the is
schools.
Clark Shaughnessy, head mentor
at Maryland, was among the
coaches who expressed their ap-
proval OF letting the frosh partic-
ipate. Shaughnessy said he favored
such q move because OF the speed
up Of the college course to three
years or less.
DR.. Hobbs added htat he did not
contemplate holding such a meeting.
While he did not commit himself
either for or against the plan, DR..
Lee w. Milford Of Clemson, one Of

ence's Executive Committee, said he
definitely favored q meeting to rule

To Fail in Southern Group

Norman Sheppard, athletic direc-

Other coaches and officials who

Joe Will Put on Show
After Links Vets
Clash Sunday
Wood, Evons Will Tackle
Jones, Mcleod; Women
Fill NBC Tourney
By WALTER McCALLUM.


Ats been 81 years since Joe Kirk
wood, the good looking Australian,
last put on the top exhibition of
trick shotmaking existing anywhere
in the game of golf. But Joe will
be one Of the featured performers in
that big war relief links show at
Columbia Sunday at 2 pm.
DIR. Paul M. Stewart, Columbia
golf chairman and general chair
man for the match, announced to-
day that Kirkwood. now at the
Huntington Valley Club of Philadel-
phia, will come to Washington and
will put on his trick-shot exhibition
around o'clock, after the finish of
the match in which National Open
Champ Craig Wood and Chick
Evans will play Bobby Jones and
Fred Mcleod. Or should we say
Capt. Robert Tyre Jones, jr.? He's
always been Bobby to us, from the
time the Georgia lad won his first
amateur championship at Philadel-
phia in 1916. And no finer golfer or
better sportsman ever knocked
brassie shot to a far-away green.
Kirkwood came to this country in
1921, a young Australian who had
mastered repertoire Of trick shots
which he first showed In this coun-
try at pinehurst in the spring Of
that year. Joe was the first-and
probably the best-M all the trick
shot men. So deft was he at calling
q high slice or low hook, chipping
and playing all shots that you won
dered why he never won q big
championship.
Joe used to say he became con-
fused because he knew 30 many
shots, which probably was true. In
any event he was and is the best,
the master Of all the shots any one
else can make, and with plenty of
his own the others don't know.
Practically all the pros around
town have sent in their names for
the woman-pro affair to be held
next Monday at Kenwood. The
women partners OF the pros-three
to each pro-will be drawn from
the ranks Of the higher handi-
capped feminine players, women
