...kind of golf that club champions play in the locker-room after the fifth highball. Olin Dutra, U. S. Open champion, could not qualify. Ky Laffoon (no kin to Governor Ruby Laffoon of Kentucky), young Oklahoman who has been a golf professional since he was 15, beat Horton Smith 12 up in 26 holes. Herman Barren, the only famed Jewish golf professional in the U. S., had Gene Sarazen, defending champion, 2 down at the 28th hole. Sarazen got birdies on the next two holes to square the match, then got a birdie 3 at the 33rd. sank...
...real estate and sell it to Calvert College for a new stadium; the interest Mrs. Gore (Ann Dvorak) shows in a ringer halfback; the resentment of Calvert's best player (Dick Powell) when he gets passing marks he does not deserve -are far more interesting than the locker-room orations and kindergarten campus antics with which Hollywood usually pays its respects to football every autumn. The picture fits less into the category of a juvenile sporting print than into the group of quick, journalistically written thumbnail biographies which Warners have made their specialty for the last two years.

...hard work, long hours, he is a director in more than 40 corporations, often attends 16 meetings in one day, keeps four secretaries on the jump. His favorite game is poker, which he plays with a fierce intensity. His good golf is best when he is behind. For the locker-room he has a vast fund of anecdotes. Innumerable people "Al" Mr. Wiggin. Even usually sardonic Financial Editor Carlton A. Shively of the New York Sun confessed last week: "The grief shared by the staff of the Chase Bank at the decision of Albert H. Wiggin to rest from...
...ready for Wimbledon by losing his match to an obscure Australian in the London Championships. He beat the same Australian, Harry Hopman, in Wimbledon's second round, but he did it without vehemence, the way he won his other early matches. He slouched about the grounds, sprawled in locker-room chairs, apparently forgetful of the fact that he was the U. S. singles champion and therefore the most exciting entrant in the tournament with the possible exception of Henri Cochet, who was put out in the second round. When all the other U. S. players including Sidney B. Wood...
Even Perkins by this time was ready to stop waiting in the locker-room. He joined the crowd that was waiting at the 18th green to watch Sarazen play his 286th shot, an 8-ft. putt. It was a noisy crowd, impatient to cheer Sarazen for equaling Bobby Jones's unique feat of winning the British and U. S. Opens in the same year. The crowd swarmed over the traps, over the edge of the green, past the course marshals until there was only a tight 20-ft. circle around Sarazen and his ball. Perkins tried to look over...
