So Predicts Two OF Eng.
lands Great Professional
Golf Stars

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 3o.-P-
The st. Andrews Course will de-
feat U. S. golfers when they try
to take the Walker Cup from Great
Britain next summer, two of Eng.
lands top pros predicted today.
Dai Rees, the Ben Hogan OF
England when it comes to winning
golf purses, and Charley Ward,
G r e at Britain's third highest
money-maker last year, have seen
many Of Americas top amateurs
in action since they Joined the
touring golfers of the PEA last
fall.
In Tucson for this weeks SO, 00o
open, Rees and Ward agreed that
man for man the first Walker Cup
team the U. s. has assembled since
1888, after which play was stop
ped because of the war, may be a
wee bit stronger than their op.
ponents, but not strong enough to
beat the British team and the st.
Andrews course.
Generally speaking the stand
ard Of play among amateurs here
is higher than in England said
Rees, "but I think st. Andrews
will beat your Walker Cup play
ers. Why? Because It's tricky
You can so out against the wind,
and come back against the same
wind"
Said Ward: cit will be the
Americans first visit to old st.
Andrews. Few golfers have ever
mastered the course on their first
try. Our boys know more about
it,"
And, said Rees and Ward, Brit
ish pros may put up 4 "good
show" for the Ryder Cup next fall.
Rees and Ward are qualified to
compare the English and U. s.
pro golf circuits. They cleaned
up in Great Britain last summer,
but have barely made travelling
expenses in the American winter
circuit.
Right now the U. S. caliber Of
play among the pros is better,
much better" said Rees. "Of
course, the English game was
thrown out Of kilter by = much
longer layoff because Of the war.
1t will improve and we should Be
bale to match the best players in
the United States.
"This winter in. America has
taught us one thing: the English
players must develop the ability
of rolling three shots into two, like
you do over here.
when our men get close to the
green they think Of a chip and two
puts. Your pros never think OF
anything but a chip close to the
pin and one putt. Wen have to
change our way of thinking"
The two English players, both Of
whom served five and a half years
with the Royal Air Force, Will
continue playing In the U. S. vim
ter circuit until March. They have
accepted an invitation to play in
the Miami four-ball tourney In
March and will fly back to Eng
land March IA.

an employe Of the U. S. CONNER
cial Company, of q japanese who

cupied after the surrender. \The
USCC said the last Japanese to be
reeatriated left the island on Nov.
10, 1916.

by Charles Wade, another USCC
employe at Truk, to Richard B.

poration, ana is engaged in colon
izing Operations on captured Pa
cific islands with the cooperation
OF the Navy.

at lunch, rumors were flying about
that there was a Japanese hiding
out IN the swamp below the Off

brush between headquarters and
supply and the dock. As we walked
out OF the mess, up drove Manuel
