...trim (5 ft. 6 in., 133 Ibs.), professedly lazy 19-year-old girl who appears to be neither a perfectionist nor fiercely competitive, but whose name is already on a lot of golf trophies. It is a name that Texans expect soon to be known to the outside world: Lesbia Lobo of San Antonio...
Smooth-swinging Lesbia, who smacks 220-yd. drives down the fairways, has been playing golf for six years. This year she has won every tournament she has entered : the Texas Amateur, the Texas Public Links (where she set a course record of 70 and was five under men's par in the 36-hole final), and the Broadmoor tournament at Colorado Springs, fortnight ago.

Lesbia did not expect to burn up the practice course: "The only time I really like to play is in a tournament. I don't know why, but I just do better with all those people staring...
...Holmes' third paper of his "Over the Tea Cups," commences with a general talk of the company upon the subject of the last paper; then a witty comparison of Hadrian's hymn and Catullus' poem to Lesbia's sparrow, and the paper ends with a poem alluding to James Freeman Clarke a classmate of Dr. Holmes. The paper abounds in gentle satiric touches, which are full of the wisdom...
