...slightly mythical Southern plantation, with a swarm of smiling Negroes in the great house-and another swarm of Negroes out in the cotton fields, where it is hard to see if they are smiling or not. Probably not. But for Allan and his dashing cousins, 'Dolph and Ralph, Valley Hall is a world, and the best of all possible...
...number one, Yale's Franz Dolph won the medal with 73, downing Alan Steinert, 4 and 3. At number four, Frank Dodge lost, 3 and 2, and at number five, Crimson captain Warren Iliff was crushed...
...first three Eli golfers will be Frank Dolph, John Gilford--who are undefeated so far--and Long Island amateur champion Tom Gillison. The Yale course is difficult, long, tricky, and full of blind holes. The Crimson squad went to New Haven yesterday to practice on it.

This year Bachelor Bob, 25, was again leading the league when he snapped a bone in his hand a month ago, has since slipped to a respectable third (behind Detroit's George Yardley and Syracuse's Dolph Schayes). For these deeds Pettit gets about $20,000 a year from the Hawks, and the devout admiration of St. Louis fans. If he stays in one piece, say the experts, Bob Pettit may turn out to be the greatest player in the history of the game. Even St. Louis Captain...
