...with Enid Wilson, who had whipped the pick of the U. S. for the British women's title in May, on hand vowing to do as Bobby Jones had done, the leading links ladies of the U. S. assembled last week at Peabody, Mass. with a chore cut out for them: to keep at least one major amateur golf title in their country. The chore looked harder when chunky Helen Hicks, the defending U. S. champion, failed to qualify with a miserable 89. British Champion Wilson had a neat 79, only two over ladies' par and the tied first-place...
...Hadden' became his god. William hated to leave at night. Probably he wouldn't have left if Brit hadn't told him he should go to night school. One day when Brit was not in the office and someone called William to do a chore, he uttered a remark that became an office classic. He was sitting in his cubby-hole among the piled up out-of-town newspapers. Instead of coming out at once when called, he answered: 'I am busy...
...Northwestern backfield (Meenan, Potter, Olson, Rus-sell), big, blond Ernest ("Pugger") Rent-ner affects a nonchalance which some-times discourages Coach Dick Hanley.

...York Academy of Medicine, a great surgeon and teacher, is one of those friends. He and Mr. Satterlee sat immaculate at opposite ends of a long table. They intermittently scowled and smiled at each other. Dr. Hartwell, a tall, bald, big-boned, well-groomed gentleman, thoroughly hated his chore of speaking for New York medicine. But he and most of his associates want Drs. Coffey & Humber and their cancer extract kept away from New York. They are positive that the Californians have no scientific foundation for their work and claims. They fear that the hope of a Coffey-Humber cancer...
