PHILADELPHIA GOLFERS A Philadelphia foursome which will be seen on Pine hurst courses for two weeks is composed of A. E. Stanger, G. H. Elliott,. Dr. John A. Brook and J. William Hale. Mr. Stanger and Mr. Elliott are members of the Philadel phia Country Club, and declare that the holding of the nation al open at that course last June stimulated golfing interest at the club during the summer. PINEHURST SCOREBOARD (Continued from p&ge one) ^ men, women and children, white, Negro and Oriental. , “Incidentally,” writes Mr. Armour, “there are about 3000 pro fessionals in the United States and I venture to say the entire lot doesn’t average 200 lessons per pro a year, although the in dividual pro lesson books range from about 1800 to 2500, in the course of a year.” . But suppose Morrison really did teach a million golfers jus what did he teach them? It is Mr. Armour’s contention that he couldn’t have taught them very much, since “researchers . . . at an untold number of private and public courses have learned that more than half the country’s golfers can not break 100 consist ently.” Another item which gives Mr. Armour a mental fever blister is the statement that Morrison is a “teacher’s teacher,” which is to say that when the masters find themselves temporarily troubled they consult the last word. It appears that Henry Picard and Horton Smith actually knelt at the Morrison shrine beseeching the miracle- touch. * * * AND PICARD GOT WORSE This claim does some alarming things with Mr. Armour’s blood pressure. He comes very close to exploding all over the premises. But in due course he cools out and proceeds to needle Morrison with a few documented facts. Picard, for instance, is shown to have been winning championships when he was 18 years old long before anyone had ever heard of Morrison. There was a time, it seems, when Mr. Armour and others looked upon Picard as the logical successor to Bob Jones. In fact, “his crisp iron shots were uniformly better than the irons of Jones when Bob was master.” ... But “suddenly 50 per cent of the accuracy of Picard’s game to the green vanished. He hits more wild shots now in one round than he used to hit in ten trips around.” Mr. Armour seems clearly to imply that Picard s loss of ac curacy and his instructions at the hands of Morrison represent something more damning than an unfortunate coincidence. ... I submit ... the ‘teacher’s teacher’s’ star pupil is not a brilliant example of the effectiveness of the ‘roll your feet and keep your chin back’ holy writ.” % This is supposed to be the secret of the Morrison magic. Roll ing your feet and keeping your chin back. It’s too complicated and technical for understandable discussion. Mr. Armour conser vatively insists it’s the bunk; indeed, these would be the first mistakes to eliminate from the performance of the inconsistent duffer” in his method of teaching. * * * A GOOD PRESS AGENT, ANYWAY All through the piece Mr. Armour slugs away brutally at Morrison and the gaudy claims that have been made for his teach ing ability—claims which Morrison appears to feel are no more than adequate; at least there is no record that he ever lifted a mildly objecting finger. Only once does Mr. Armour give the miracle worker of golf a paragraph of praise. This has to do with Morrison’s unique ability for getting his name in print and on the air. Mr. Armour thinks this is one thing Morrison really could teach the teachers, and to their advantage. We are anxious to see what Morrison has to say in rebuttal. It seems to us he must say something. Mr. Armour occupies a distinguished position in golf; he’s neither a Johnny-Come-Lately nor a crackpot. He has told Morrison where to get off in pretty strong language. He even has insinuated that Morrison belongs to that peculiar field of golf mythology which spawned Mysterious Montague. No body ever hears of Montague any more. And if Morrison can t come back with a convincing kayo, quite a few golf followers may decide that the explosive Mr. Armour knows what he’s talking about, at that. ELIZABETH HICKS WINS FLORIDA MATCH ORMOND BEACH, Fla., Feb. 29 — {IP) — Nineteen year old Elizabeth Hicks stole the spot light in South Atlantic Wom en’s golf tournament with a sub-par score in defeating Lad die Irwin 6 and 5.

NINE MORE HORSES AT PINEHURST TRACK By Wayne Groves \ Nine more horses have joined the Pinehurst winter training colony this week, making a total of 143 trotters and pacers that are now getting their daily doz en over the local track.
