He lives in wooden shacks, built as temporary barracks during the War, looking like a collection of senile packing boxes, or in tents.

At Fort Douglas, they have invented the game...

On the 18th green Johnston's putter again faltered. He missed a six-footer and enabled Dolp to square the match. Johnston repeated with a two-foot miss on the extra hole, was eliminated. Dolp then sailed on easily to his first Western Amateur Championship-Chuck Hunter defaulted to him; collegian Kenneth Hisert ("Big Ten" winner...
