...many of the gangsters could place Von Elm. Until last year his activities in the East had been infrequent and unobtrusive. But Robert Tyre Jones Jr. they remembered well indeed, the chubby Buster Brown of 17 from Atlanta, Ga., who qualified so brilliantly in the amateur championship of 1919 at Oakmont and blazed through his matches to the very final. Two former champions had sickened at that fell onslaught, tall Bob Gardner of Chicago and seasoned Walter Fownes of the home club, and only with difficulty did ponderous Dave Herron at last fix a damper on the ardent cherub...
Canadian Professional. Dominion professionals played their trade championship as the usual curtain-raiser to the Canadian Open. Leading U. S. professionals seldom mix in this affair.

Peers, Ambassadors, Princes of India, clergymen, social leaders of every strata -some in toppers, patent leather shoes and formal afternoon attire, others in humble headgear, stouter footwear and business clothes-all rubbed shoulders.

Last week, the students of North Georgia Agricultural College (Dahlonega, Ga.) took stock of their condition. It was evident to them that the college was "on a decline." Morale was lowering, proceeding toward the dogs of disruption. The guardian who should have been standing in the way, President M. B. Dubose, seemed empty of aid, impotent. "Investigate and take this man away," the students unanimously petitioned the trustees. Staving desperately, President Dubose threatened "no diplomas," "summary dismissal." He was ignored.
