DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
One of the most significant sporting stories published this year
came out of Des Moines, when Floyd Maxwell, a prominent Des
Moines business man, stated that a winning Iowa University foot
ball team had been a tremendous tonic for the entire state.
“The psychology of the Iowa team winning game after game,”
said Mr. Maxwell, “affected the whole state. It gave our people en
couragement and confidence. The people felt if our football team
could do those things, so could they. It gave people something to
talk about with pride and pleasure and it helped business all over the
state. I noticed an appreciable increase in my business.”
About one month ago President Hutchins of the University of
Chicago tossed football out as an activity at the South Chicago insti
tution. He was smart enough to say that a losing football team was
harmful to morale, but that lie did not consider it legitimate for a
university to make a major project .of football for the purpose of
maintaining, at all costs, a winning team.
Here, one runs into two schools of thought—the intellectual vs,
the physical.
Under the elms of the Harvard yard, at Hutchin’s Chicago,
and in various other educational centers, the scholastic atmosphere
is thicker than the athletic atmosphere. The pen is mightier than
the sword.
But is it, in America at large?
When you come down to facts in a highly competitive civiliza
tion in which the young men of America and every other nation are
being brought up, there is something to be said in favor of Mr. Max
well’s contention that a winning football team is a vital factor in the
forward surge of an entire state.
“On, Wisconsin,” is the theme song of the University of Wis
consin at Madison. Everybody understands it. It sounds like a bat
tle cry. Educators, such as Hutchins, would like to inspire youths
with knowledge and enlightenment, so that in the future the youths
may be able to think up a scheme for hastening the day when the
swords shall be beaten into plows. It is a pretty ideal, but for how
many centuries has it broken down when the band plays “On, Wis
consin,” or some similar martial air?
The forefathers made a pattern for living, and the evidence in
the case is that this pattern fits life as depicted by Mr Maxwell, Des
Moines business man, much more closely than it fits the plan of
Professor Hutchins.
POSTPONED TOURNEY
OF TIN WHISTLES
LISTED FOR MONDAY
The Tin Whistle tournament
scheduled for Saturday will pos
itively be played on Monday, ac
cording to Eric Nelson, secretary
of the club. Mr. Nelson stated
that he had been in communica
tion with the weather doctor, and
was promised that from now un
til Monday it would be warmer,
and that the last snow flake would
perish under the rays of a south
ern sun.
Yesterday golf was played on
the first nine of the number three
course. Golfers who had been
housed up for days were eager to
j get out and paddle about. Con
I ditions were not those which
would be acceptable for a na
tional championship, but those
who did play reported that they
had enjoyed the sport.
Monday’s Tin Whistle event is
a par-bogey bestball of pair, in
which points are awarded for bo
geys, pars, birdies, eagles, tigers,
elephants. The elephant is rar
est of all animals hunted on the
Pinehurst links. Only golfers
with large handicaps aspire to
bagging an elephant, and few
have been shot here.
WEATHER
.Fair and somewhat warmer
Sunday. ' Increasing cloudiness
Sunday night and Monday.

many Ijad sunk 14 ships, the admiralty, late last night, “had
nothing to say."
HRS. PAGE TO PLAY
IN ST. VALENTINE’S
TOURNAMENT HERE
Former National Champion Will
Be Outstanding Competitor in
Pinehurst Event Next Wednes
day
. Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page,
Chapel Hill, former national
golf champion, will be the out
standing competitor in the an
nual St. Valentine’s tournament
to be played Wednesday at the
Pinehurst Country Club.
Mrs. Page continues to decline
the temptations of the citrus cir
cuit, now going full blast in Flor
ida, and remain away from the
winter tournament swing. The
former national champion^ long
ago established herself as the
Chapel Hill housewife, who stays
at home during the winter be
cause she can not afford to make
the tour and saves her pennies
for the national championship
and the Southern.
Her winter golf is confined to
Pinehurst and other tournaments
held within a short automobile
drive of her Chapel Hill home.
This year the St. Valentine’s
event will be 18 holes medal play.

THE TOUR WISE MEN’
CHOSEN TO FACE FIRE
OF FORUM QUESTIONS
Scholarly Quartet of Prominent >
Sandhills Residents Will En
deavor to Elucidate Conun
drums of “Information, Please”
There has been much specula
tion throughout the Sandhills as
to who the sages for “Informa
tion, Please”, of .the Forum
would be.
Four men have agreed to with
stand to the best of their ability
such questions as the master of
ceremonies, Homer H. Johnson,
may fire.
The gentlemen — and Forum
heads don’t believe there’s a
tougher foursome in the Sand
hills to stump — are Rev. F.
Craighill Brown, M. Struthers
Burt, both of Southern-Pines, and
Donald Parson and Rassie Wick
er of Pinehurst.
Whether these undoubtedly
qualified participants go down
before the battery of questions
depends entirely upon * the num
ber and character of the ques
tions submitted. And, remember,
there’s a dollar in your pocket
for any question you submit
which is used but found unan
swerable by either the sages or
the audience at large.
