But for playing shots into q

TEE TO GREEN
By. MERRELL WHiTTLEsEY


The personnel Of the Ryder
Cup team will be far from this
departments thoughts the next
couple Of weeks. because at
Yarmouth, Me-. on Casco Bay,
the folks just aren't pro golf
conscious.
But before leaving, the
thought occurs that the London
golf writer's have basis for their
complaint that the team Amer
lea is sending to England in
October is not q very exciting
one.
The British golf fans want
to see Ben Hogan, Sam Snead,
Cary Middleton and Jimmy
Demaret. and q supporting
cast. What they're getting is
the supporting cast without
the stars.
The PGA, which selects the
Ryder Cup team from its mem.
bers, has q point system by
which the tournament pros
who finish in the top eight Of
each tournament pick up Ryder
Cup points. There are bonus
tournaments, like the Masters,
National Open and the PGA
championship. This goes on
for two years. or from one
Ryder Cup match to the other
But the top 10 in cup points
still have to meet q rather
absurd qualification. They must
have played in the twon PGA
championships between Ryder
Cup matches.
Middleton and Demaret, Sec
ond and seventh In cup points
did not play IN the Pea cham
pionship last month, and were
not chosen for the team
Lionel Hebert, the new PGA
champion was 18th In points
but was named to the team a.
the PGA champion.
All this is very inconsistent
although the PGA states the
Executive Committee selects
the team on the basis Of rules
for Ryder Cup eligibility. In
the process, points earned are
considered a measure Of current
ability.
That current playing ability
is a meaningless phrase. Snead
and Hogan play in only a few
major tournaments, but they'd
be 2 to / to beat any two MEM
beers Of the United States team
at head : to : head, or Scotch
foursome play.
Snead was 18th in cup points
prior to the Eastern Open last
week, and could have made the
team by finishing third or bet
ter In Baltimore. That tourna-
ment was the deadline for cup
points, and the team was
named last Monday.
Snead and Gene Sara1en
each have played on six Ryder
Cup teams. with Walter Hagan
next at I'VE. The Baltimore
sponsors hoped Sam would be
anxious enough to make the
team to play in Baltimore, but
apparently he wasn't.
They contacted him at Hot
Springs. Va; In fact, woke him
up. Sure. Sam would like to

MRS. WASHBURN LECTURES AT ASSEMB.
ON GREECE-"ANCIENT AND MODERN"

Wise though his plans are,
artful beyond all dreaming,
they carry him both to evil and
to good.
In literature the ancient Greek
drama or tragedy is one OF the
most perfect forms of writing. Its
form is classical and preset.
When fancy and passion flare up
they are allowed their way but
only according to a pre-ordained
logical pattern. A brief passion
ate outburst in the "Choricon"
sung and danced by the chorus
and / just read you such a "cho-
ricon"-grief and passion will be-
come unleashed but though deep
and sweeping it will only be a
brief outburst. The dramatist will
quickly revert to the traditional
form of the drama to prove his
craft-and, incidentally, his self
control.
In art, sculpture for instance,
we have a curious blend of the
ideal with the real, the religious
with the secular. We have the
effigies of the gods, portrayed as
men and women, but as nearly
perfect human beings IS is hui
manly possible. Because such was
the, religion of the Man-centered
ancient Greek world-the gods
are men-only men larger than
life. And if individuals have ply
steal flaws the gods should not,
so that while every detail of the
human body is portrayed accu-
rately and painstakingly-the
sculpture becomes man in the alb
stract-without flaws
So in the ancient Greek world
we find philosophy, art, litera-
ture, religion and life merging
their aims. That was the aim of
the ancient Greek anyway. Not
to produce experts and specialists
and authorities in any one field
but well rounded personalities.
Aeschylus and Sophocles, for in
stance, are military figures as
well as men of letters, and so was
Thucydides, the great historian.
