...sides, from formidable isosceles-triangle policemen with sharp apexes, through an equilaterally -triangular bourgeoisie and square professorial, to a polygonal aristocracy and circular priesthood. The narrator is a square professor who, after a visit to the unbelievably benighted residents of one-dimensional Lineland, is introduced to Spaceland by a Sphere. With a great effort, he masters the conception of a Figure moving "up-ward, not northward" out of its plane.

Frank Dolp, of Portland, Ore., turned his back to the pin, played a niblick shot between his legs, saw his ball stop 14 feet from the cup. He holed out in two, while Harrison R. ("Jimmie") Johnston, winner of the qualifying medal with a brilliant 141 and favorite to capture the Western Amateur title at St. Paul, missed a two-foot putt.
