...ground rules are strict. "We narrow the fairways, raise the roughs and collar the greens," says Executive Director Joseph Dey Jr. "We want our tournament to be a true test of skill." That it is. The lowest score ever in the Open was the 276 shot by the magnificent "Wee Ice Mon," Ben Hogan, in 1948-14 strokes more than Gay Brewer took at Pensacola last week.

In the wee hours, the cables marked NIACT, or "night action," are rushed to a duty officer who has to decide whether to call and wake the appropriate assistant secretary, remembering that the assistant secretary may already have been wakened once before. Early in the morning, last night's take of cables is culled...
Vassar's president Simpson changes his mind again and decides not to merge with anyone. Exasperated, Goheen and Kingman Brewster Jr. hold a wee-morning-hours conference in conveniently located New Rochelle, and reach agreement. Yale and Princeton merge. The Dunster House revival of Breakfast at Tiffany's breaks all box office records for the Dunster House dining room...
