...Harvard is on the rise again in golf. Within the next few years she ought to produce some fine teams," was the opinion of Francis Ouimet, winner of the National Amateur golf title in 1914 and semi-finalist at Minnekadha last summer. "In colleges golf is like a thermometer. At times you have good teams, and then a series of poor ones. It seems as though it has been rather cold at Harvard since Jones left.

But they were the only Britishers to win a foursome, and the Americans went out to play the singles with a two point lead. Then...
...sunk that putt, England would have won, for Roger Wethered had beaten Francis Ouimet, Robert Harris had outdriven and outthought Jesse Guilford, and E. F. Storey had taken the measure of the U. S. enfant terrible, Roland Mackenzie. But Mr. Hezlet of England did not know what his team mates were doing; even if he had known, the recognition of what depended on his putt could only have made him more careful. He was too careful as it was. The ball stopped two inches from the hole; the Walker Cup stayed...
