...seventh green of the breezy morning round, Helen Hicks missed a two-foot putt that would have made her one up. It looked serious at the time but seven holes farther on Helen Hicks might well have forgotten it because she was four up and it looked as though Virginia Van Wie's game had cracked completely. By lunch time, she had cause to brood about that putt again;.her opponent had cut her lead to two, with a fine four at the 16th and a good putt for another at the 18th.

At the 33rd, he was still five strokes behind. Shute, his long iron shots travelling to the greens as though they were...
...eight-week cruise to the World's Fair. With Headmaster Lillard and Captain Lewis in command, the boys were assigned regular watches, holding all posts from able seaman up through bos'n and quartermaster to first mate. They sailed the Tabor-Boy down to New York, putt-putted up the Hudson to Albany where the 85-ft. masts were unstepped to clear the bridges along the canal to Buffalo and the Great Lakes. At ports of call along the way the Sea Scouts planned to visit schoolmates and other Sea Scouts...
