...swing similar to that of famed Francis Ouimet, Vines shot a 72 in the first round. It was not the best score of the day (bespectacled Skip Alexander of North Carolina turned in 67). But it was better than that posted by Defending Champion Dick Chapman, 1939 Champion Marvin ("Bud") Ward, onetime British Amateur Champion Charley Yates (now a U.S. Army private) and onetime U.S. Open and Amateur Champion Johnny Goodman, the pride of Omaha, who was playing on his home course...
...Chicago jazz style, rough, nervous, backed by a driving pulse, got its start when Austin High boys played in their gym on Friday afternoons in 1923 and 1924. One of them, the late, great Clarinetist Frank Teschmaker, taught Benny Goodman some stuff.

Beside Waldstein, the other players available for mound duties against the Elis are Jake Schwede, who took over for lefty Bud in the sixth. Saturday, Burgy Ayres, and Charlie Brackett. Schwede, although slightly wild, pitched competently against the Crusaders, rescuing himself from very tight situations twice. Once he leaded the bases with one out, but managed to finish off the next two men, and cut off any scoring that inning...
