the two victories scored by each
team in the Scots foursome yes
terday. At moor today those two
points on the British side loomed
large. It looked as though they
might enable the defenders to
gain at least a tie, in which case
they would have kept the Cup.
On the morning round the Brit
ish players had fully held their
own. Four of them went to lunch
holding leads over their American
opponents, giving them a stand-oft
at that point. Like Ward, Frank
Stranhan, the Toledo strong boy,
was trailing his opponent, Charlie
Stowe, by two holes, and the
American camp was not happy.
And then Ward began to play.
Word swept around the course that
he had won three of the first four
holes and caught Crawley, the mus
tachioed 44-year-old dean of the
British team. Next the news came
that he had shot the tough out
ward nine in "a, two under par,
to go two-ulp at the turn. In the
time it took to play six more holes
the former National Amateur
champion had beaten his man, and
the Americans were on their way.
Playing under pressure on one
of the worlds most exasperating
courses, Ward was three under
tours for the IS holes in the aft
ernoon. He had Scotsmen in the
gallery comparing him to Bobby

? Whether U. 6. troops and their

any lasting contribution toward es-
t%ablishing the four freedoms in
Italy is a moot point for the his
torian to decide. AS the last few
thousand troops prepare to with

the peace treaty, most Italians re-
member the colorful aspects Of the
occupation rather than the objec-
tives OF military government.
Italians had a nara time with

Many Americans were greeted by
their Italian friends with 'tokay''
for 'hello." AS time went On, the
word b e came standard usage,
even in newspaper headlines.
The GI also frightened Dante's
language with "Sciuscia." (shoe
shine). "Sciuscia'' was the name
applied to the street urchins who
sprang up in occupied towns and
made fat earnings shining the
shoes of the Americans.
The "Sciuscia' brought out a fun
damental difference between the
American and Italian mentality.
The Italian press almost unani.
mously attacked the shoeshine boy
as an evil outgrowth of defeat, a
symbol of servility toward the
"conqueror." In italy, shining
shoes is equivalent to social deg
radiation. The CT, on the other
hand, universally liked the little
boys who, they felt. showed more
initiative than many OF their cid

the faces of the thousand or more
persons who pass in and out on
Saturdays, observed her depar.

To continue, the young woman
returned in about 10 minutes, and
confronted the alert clerk, and de-
manded, "T'd like to bring the
