Voigt was one under par for the first nine holes - and 4 down. Ouimet had played the nine in 30. A young Yale player, Sidney W. Noyes, pressed Ouimet in the afternoon but was put out 1 down...
...goes to a zombie tycoon. Bela Lugosi. who looks like a comic imbecile, can make his jawbones rigid and show-the whites of his eyes.
