Labor battalions, stripped to the waist, were mixed right in with the marching men. As the infantry advanced they sprang to work building roads for the heavy trucks to follow, singing...
When the tougher grind of match play began the next day, the younger golfers suffered retribution for their medal performances. Ouimet, playing like an auto-matic stoker, put out George Voigt 6 & 5. 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...
