best years of your life lie straight
ahead. Mans turning point is the
forties- the zenith hour!" Let us
think for a moment, of some of the
folks who gave the world their
finest contributions after they were
forty! Beethoven wrote his lovliest
melodies between the ages of forty
five and fifty-seven. Madame
Curie was fifty-four when she dis
covered radium. Jogre was made
Commander-in- Chief of the French
armies at sixty-two. Charles
Evans Hughes was sixty-three
when he became Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court. "Mona Lisa"
was painted when Leonardo de
Vinci was fifty-four years old.
Wagner wrote "Parsifal" at Sixty
nine and Hayden's Creation" was
done at sixty-seven.
And in our own time there are
Ford, Edison, Schwab, Owen D.
Young and countless others who
did not really reach their top sue
cess until they were past forty!
Does the DEVILS wedge of dis
couragement work have in your
lite because you are no longer
thirty-nine? Well, re m m b e r
what great industrialist once said
about it. at doesn't make too
much difference what a man does
before he is forty. 1t makes all
the difference what he does after
ne has passed that milestone.

International Olympic Group

Brundage now is vice president
of the international group and
those in the know believe he has
edge on Burghley.

session Of the Olympic Commit
lee next Thursday and Friday.
The Olympic president is the
No. l man in world amateur
sports. the central figure of the
glittering Olympic pageant with
access to palaces and chancel-
lorieS.
Il am not candidate for this
Office or any other Office" Brund-
age said. Friends said, however
he would accept.
Both Brundage and Lord
Burghley are former Olympic
athletes.
Brundage finished fifth in the
pentathlon in the 1912 games in
Stockholm. The pentathlon is q

less it's changed" Ray didn't pay
too much attention at the time,
but after thinking it over he con-
sidered it might have been
rather important statement.
During the National Open in
Dallas last month, the USGA an
|nounced a change in the method
of play in the Open next year at
Lew Worsham's course in Pitts
burgh. It was poor timing. as
any golf announcement during the
Open gets only a line or two.
Briefly, it said that 800 players
would qualify sectionally for the
Open championship next year in
stead of 1852 that qualified this
year. The 300 will play a second
36-hole qualifying round. Is at
Oakmont and 18 at the nearby
Pittsburgh Field Club, and the low
$50 will qualify for the tourna-
ment proper.
The USGA said the change is
an experiment and was done to
permit more players to compete
in the open proper. This year the
ratio was about one player at
Dallas for every 13 entries, as
more than 1900 entered originally.
Many of the pros think the plan
will be abolished after one year.
who wants to come from Cali
fornia to Pittsburgh to play a So
hole qualifying round and not
even make the tournament
proper?" one pro said. and many
agreed with the thought.
It will make the Open a 108-hole
tournament next year. but only
the final 72 holes will count. APP
parently Hogan doesn't like the
idea of the qualifying on the scene.
If the USGA doesn't exempt some
Of the big names from the pre-
liminary 36-hole qualifying after
the sectional tsts. the Open may
be minus some Of its top attrac-
ions for the first time.
One Of the frequent questions
following the Hogan and Sam
Snead exhibitions at White Flint

That should not be too amazing,
because there are some people in

of them. The Shields boys are to
be congratulated for bringing

off their left heel, because Hogan
said it would help. That's just
an example of the influence the
top pros have on the average

And another reason the Shields

because they got more kick out
