...strokes he now made it look as though he would lose again when he pushed his drive into the rough on the tenth, took a bogey 5, and three-putted the next green. But this time, with the gallery waiting for Guldahl's game to crack wide open, it did the opposite. So calm that he appeared preoccupied, he got birdies on the next two holes, played the remaining five in par despite ricocheting off a spectator into a trap at the 15th, combed his hair for the cameramen while strolling across the packed home green to sink...
Frankly a grind, Paul van Zeeland's extracurricular activities were limited to taking long walks in the country and pitching pennies at a crack in the sidewalk, but no roistering senior in a beer suit was ever more loyal to Old Nassau. Punctually every year Paul van Zeeland sends cards to every instructor under whom he studied. In the autumn of 1934 when Paul van Zeeland and a Yale friend attended an important banking conference, the latter scribbled the just-arrived score of a football game on a card and slipped it to the former-Yale 7; Princeton...
...plane was the Bermuda Clipper, a new Sikorsky S-42B flying boat powered by four Hornet motors and flown by a crack crew of eight Pan American employes headed by Captain Harold E. Gray, veteran of the Pacific and South American runs. Trundling up from Pan American's temporary base at Port Washington, L.

Officials noted its exact position: 313 yd. 17 in. from the spot where it had been hit. That drive, hit last Sunday afternoon before a big gallery of other professionals, got its author, 24-year-old Professional Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., $200, first prize in Sports Illustrated'?, first annual driving contest, held as a curtain-raiser to the Professional Golfers Association annual tournament which started the next...
...last week's Marouf Tenor Chamlee showed the agreeable voice and the discreet musicianship people expect of him. Norman Cordon was comical as the suspicious, crack-voiced vizier. Pretty Nancy McCord, who used to sing in Broadway shows, made her Metropolitan debut as Princess Saamcheddine. She hit the proper notes, but acted woodenly and could not hide the fact that she has a pale, uninteresting voice. Listeners felt that the Metropolitan's Marouf was well worth repeating, but could not come up to last season's smash hit in English, The Bartered Bride...
