...during the Walker Cup trials, when he equaled famed Bobby Jones's amateur record of 68 for the championship course at St. Andrews. His total for four rounds (68, 71, 71, 72) was three strokes better than the score Bobby Jones registered to win the 1927 British Open on that course-a total good enough to have won any championship ever played at ancient St. Andrews. Hailed as the greatest discovery since Jones, Jim Bruen, who weighs 200 Ib. and can make an eagle 3 look simple on a 530-yd. hole, was promptly named on the British Walker...
...hopeless. Bobby Jones, too, had been eliminated before the semi-finals in the 1926 British Amateur which his Walker Cup teammate Jess Sweetser finally won. In fact, Bobby Jones failed three times before finally winning it in 1930, the year he made his famed "Grand Slam" (British Amateur, British Open, U. S. Amateur, U. S. Open). Goodman could still try for the British Open next month to prove that he is currently the U. S. golfing king of swing...
Since that milestone in his life, Johnny Goodman has proved that he was no flash in the pan. He was third best amateur in the 1929 U. S. Open, second-best in 1930, best in 1932 and again last year. In 1933 he finally won the Open against a field of top-notch professionals. In the U. S. Amateur, he was runner-up in 1932, a semifinalist in 1935 and 1936. Last year he finally won the Amateur to become the first golfer since Jones to win both the Open and Amateur. He has broken 64 records...
...Academy in Rome, from $1,400 to $1,500 a year, studio and materials, freedom to travel. To win it, Architect Iversen got through preliminaries that eliminated 74 entrants, then worked for a month on a set problem in competition with eight other finalists. The problem : to design an open-air theatre for a city of 500,000, in an amusement park on the westerly edge of a hypothetical lake, with the stage mounted on a barge. Said Winner Iversen, unflushed by his victory, "I don't think I could get a $30 a week architecture job here right...
...admitted to the Holy Communion, until such time as he be confirmed, or be ready and desirous to be confirmed." On its face, this rubric would seem to bar non-Episcopalians from taking Communion at Episcopal altars. Last winter the issue arose when churchmen of numerous faiths attended an "open Communion" service in the National Cathedral in Washington (TIME, Jan. 31). Last month, under Anglo-Catholic leadership, about one-fifth of the Episcopal ministry-1,400 priests-signed a statement disapproving open Communion. Last week, the church's Liberal Evangelicals, a group of 450 ministers who represent a much...
