Frank Clark
Tops Brother
InArgyIeGoIf

Frank Clark made one of the
finest shots of his career to save
a 3-and-2 decision over his
brother Dave yesterday in the
quarter-finals of the Argyle
Club golf championship.
Five up after a three-under-
par SO on the front nine, Frank
watched Dave chip away at the
lead until he was only 2 up at
the 18th. Here Frank bunkered
his tee shot, then hit an eight
iron from the sand that almost
went in the hole for a two. 1t
caught the edge of the cup and
slid three feet away. Frank
sank the birdie putt that ended
the battle.
Frank was one under par for
the distance.
Pat MARITIME. the last of three
brothers to survive the matches,
defeated George Ashton, up,
and will meet Clark in the semi
finals today. Ray Horne elimi-
mated Lee Dixson, 6 and 4, and
Bill Gartner defeated Joe Kot-
van, 4 and 3, in the other
matches.
MARITIME also made some mir
acle shots to save his match. He
got a half on the first hole with
a pitch shot from a downhill lie
below the elevated green that
stopped four feet from the cup.
He also holed a 40-yard pitch
on the fourth.
MARITIME hit only eight greens,
but shot rs against Ashton's II.

time from ulcers which again brings
up the fact that it seems I've never played
against a well man yet, but I've taken
beatingS from two very fine sick ones
Gene Sarazen in 1922 and Compston in
1928"
The first round of SO holes found the
BritiSher swapping Hagen. At the end of
9 Compston was up; at the end of 10,
4 up; at the end of SO, he was IA up
The next days round was even darker
for Hagen. After II holes he was 18 down
and needed to drop 20-foot putt to avoid
being beaten 10 and 10 to CO. "If don't
make the putt, thought all those beauti-
full ShillingS must be paid back to customers
because of no afternoon round" Hagen
recalled
He sank the putt to guarantee at
least a start of the final round 1t was
Short-lived. On the first hole of the after
noon round they halved, Hagen having
to drop 1-foot putt and making Archie
putt from 6 inches. That wrapped it up,
18 and II, the worst beating of the fabulous
Hagen's career.
STUNG AND INUNDATED, Hagen
went into training for the upcoming
British Open. He did the whole bit
endless practice, Turkish baths no dates
81 locked my little black book in my
trunk. And he won the Open at Sand
Wich, third of his four victories in the
classic, with 1922 Sarazen finished second
with 292, CompSton followed with $685.
Some years ago, attending one of the
abandoned Celebrities Tournaments at
Columbia Country Club here, Hagen played
the 10Th hole and talked of that memora-
BILE match. Two years before-1926-
Bobby Jones and played an exhibition
at Sarasota, real estate promotional
gimmick-and I swamped him, II and IL.
1t was Bobby's worst beating, but it didn't
panic him. That year Jones went on to
win the British and U. s. Opens.
Il bore that in mind after CompSton
laid me low and it helped to win the
British Open and several other big tourna-
mentS back in the States" incidentally,
Hagen received the biggest fee ever paid
a golfer for a 72-hole exhibition-$7,6 600
for the Jones match. After he had bought
the amateur Jones a $1,000 pair of dia-
mond-and platinum cuff links, Hagen
pocketed the other $4,000, although not
for long.
Hagen even got revenge on CompSton
in head-to-head play. He and Harlow per-
suaded Archie who was not above exploit
ing his remarkable victory and new fame,
to come to America for a return match,
SO holes in Boston and SO in New York.
After the Boston round the Haig employed
some of his legendary psychology. II kept
arguing with Harlow. for Archie's benefit,
about New York being the poorest golf
town in the country he wrote in his book.
ARCHIE INSISTED, there will
be present about nine people and dog.
Well make no money at all"
"All Compston could say, over and
over, was, Well now, Bob, how about that,
sir? How about that?'
AT least I knew he was thinking
more about the gate than he was about
me-" Hagen chronicled. 81 suggested the
second match be set at Coney Island and
good old Archie agreed with me whole
heartedly.
az believe you're right, Walter. I've
heard of the place. Tons of people at
Coney Island, by Jove!'"
Hagen beat Compston, 8 and 7.

1t might have been made less

familiar bulls-eye blade disap-
peared before the start of the
Masters. He bought a duplicate
and then began the struggle
back to his former peak.
! Colts great putters are

to be known as outstanding

they can't do anything else.
But Beman candidly admits
that he won his two biggest
titles with his putter.

United States Amateurs, I wor

believes he's in better shape

He'd like to be able to prepare

get ready properly, he believes
he'll be tough to handle.

Morconi Flying
To Los Angeles
To Sign Contract

LOS ANGELES. Aug II (AP)
Joe Marconi is coming back
to the Los Angeles Rams.
The big fullback will return to
Los Angeles by plane tomorrow
from his home in Frederick
town, Pa, and Ram Coach Bob
Waterfield expects to be waiting
for him with a contract and a
pen.
Marconi earned Waterfield's
ire last season because of his
weight-233 pounds. Marconi
pleaded to be traded at the end
of the season, then held out all
during preseason training.
Now, 10 pounds lighter than
he was in 1861, Marconi is on
his way west to rejoin the Rams
Word is that Waterfield is
anxious to forgive and forget
and there's a lot to forget
Waterfield fines Rams $50 day
for late reporting. That would
put Marconi's tab at $1,000.
Waterfield hasn't mentioned
any fine for Marconi.
I've agreed to terms" Mar
conf told the Los Angeles Her.

ANOTHER STRONG FINISH
Palmer Ups Lead to 8

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. IL (AP) .
-Front-running Arnold Palmer
staggered a bit during the third
round of the American Golf
Classic today, but quickly re-
gained his composure with
three brides on the last seven
holes to stretch his lead to six
strokes.
The big hitter from Pennsyl-
vania, seeing his advantage
shrink to two strokes after the
first II holes. put on another
of his charges before an i'm
menSe gallery and all but
wrapped up the top prize of
$4,000 in the $4,000 tourna-
ment.
Going into the round, Palmer
held a five-stroke lead over
Don January. A double DOGGY
6 on the No. 8 hole gave Palmer
a two-over-par 81 on the front
nine, but he came in with a
two-under par SO on the back
nine, failing only to put to-
gether a third straight Sub-par
round. He might have sue
ceeded in this, except that his
birdie putt on the 18th went in
and out of the cup. Palmer
goes into tomorrow'S final
round with a 206 total after
rounds of 81, SO, 70.

(AP) - The hospital switch

caller, DIR. Anderson will be

tients and a conference. Please

When reached, the dean of
major college football coaches
replied briskly: I'D love to talk
football with you but I'm on all
night duty here and things are
buzzing. How about later?"
DR.. Edward N. Anderson. a
devoted teacher of youth, is a

his life would severely tax any
one half his age.
The admitting doctor and
personnel executive at Rutland
Veterans Hospital is about to
embark on his 37th coaching
season at Holy Cross.
Ignores PresSures
With the demands of his
medical career, why has Ander-
son remained in coaching, the
pressures of which cause most
men to seek retreat at As?
The Iowan, who has never
stopped hustling since he made
Knute Rockne'S Notre Dame
varsity team as a freshman,
doesn't give age a thought.
II just got into both careers"
DR.. Anderson said. Maybe it's
habit. Of course, we have no
spring practice at Holy Cross.
And there is not as much pres
sure here as in some other
parts of the country.
Its not that don't like to
win as much as the next fellow,
but I believe the East has
shown a little more common
sense about football, treating it
like a game.
And then. change is a good
thing. Each job serves to stimu-
late and whet the appetite for
the other"

WIN LOSE OR DRAW
How Hagen Came Back
After Compston's Rout

News Item: Archie COmpstOn, one of
day in England after a prolonged Illness
He was 60.
BEEN BEATEN AT GOLF lately by
18 and II to play? Don't say it can't hap
pen to you. 1t happened to Walter Hagen,
and historians contend that he was the best
in the world at match play. Archie Comp
ston was the man who lowered the boom.
CompSton was tall O6-3) Stern-looking
golfer who had been BritainS leading pro-
fessional but not a true celebrity until he
thrashed Hagen in probably the most lop-
sided of all matches between top flight
golfers.
If the scheduled 72-hole challenge
match over the Moor Park course in Here
fordShire, England, was uneven that April
day in 1923, it was matched by the con-
trast between the Britisher and the Amer
lean. MY wrists held out much better
than my legs" Hagen once quipped, poking
fun at his fondnesS for the grape and at
tendant conviviality.
CompSton, though, was austere with a
capital A. When the USGA suggested that
profanity be forbidden during tourna-
mentS, Archie solemnly intoned: Good
golfers don't curse" During the 192Os, re-
marking on the success of American golf
erS, Compston vowed that it was due to
Prohibition
Hagen probably had to put the cork on
the jug to keep it from spilling he was
laughing so hard.
BUT 1T WAS NO LAUGHING matter
when Hagen met Compston for what was
considered a record Stake-750 pounds, or
at the time about $3.50 in U. S. currency
That defeat by Compston had been a
terrific blow to my pride" Hagen wrote
years later in his delightfully."- candid book
titled "The Walter Hagen Story" I'D had
the smile wiped off my face temporarily,
but hadn't lost my sense of humor"
In his own story, Hagen set the back
ground for his challenge match with
CompSton. He had been in Hollywood max
ing film and hadn't played any golf for
two months prior to his trip to the British
Isles in late April. Due to the fact that
I'd had no practice I thought the match,
scheduled the day after my arrival in
England, should be postponed" The Haig
recorded. Fearing the committee would
think was abiding, I cabled them after
I'd sailed on the AQuitanid, asking for
short postponement.
I'm a return cable they refused. 1
presume made mistake in sending the
cable from on board ship, since they knew
full we'll, if I'd already sailed, I'd arrive in
time to play"
Bob Harlow was Hagen's manager in
those days. Knowing of his mans penchant
for the gay and late life, Harlow produced
a Scotland Yard detective to shadow
Walter for the next couple of days. The
EUening Express carried story with head
lines that read:
HAGEN'S HUMAN ALARM CLOCK! A
DETECTIVE TO GET HIM OUT
OF BED TOMORROW! ONE DAYS
PRACTICE!
THE HAIGS APPRAISAL of CompSton
was that "he was an indefatigable golfer
:. a big, homely fellow the semi-bull
type He gave the impression of serious
battler but actually he was temperamental
and highly emotional. He was capable of
playing inspired golf. In order to shoot his
brand of golf he would practice until he
was actually ill., He was suffering at that

There's an excitement the

You look forward to it, yet with

Dual Existence
Since he captained Notre
Dame from right end in 1921.
DR.. Anderson has lived a dual
existence. While on his first
coaching assignment at Loras
College in Dubuque, Iowa, An
derson played professional ball
for the Chicago Cardinals.
His next stop was Depaul in
1925 and a parallel completion
of his medical studies at Rush
College.
Dating from 1888, DR.. Ander-
son has served split terms at
Holy Cross, from 1888 and
1850 to the present. Minus
three war years, he spent the
interim at the University of
Iowa, where he won coach Of
