YOU’I‘ES IN GOLF
Youth is sure having its fling at
the golfing honors this your.
. Golf for I. long time was consid-
ered a game for these past middle
ago. It's different now.
Fifteen years ago it was the un-
usual for a. person to take up golf
as a youngster. It was the game for
the men or woman who had passed
the days of strenuous sport.
About 10 years ago. golf was
taken seriously by young America.
A great many youngsters started
the game just as soon as they were
able to swing a. club.
These youngsters are now begin-
ning to make their presence felt. in
the golfing world. Any number. of
championship honors have been
captured this year by players not
yet in their twenties.
It was Keefe Carter. college
freshmen. who won the western
amateur. a title that once almost
was s. part of "Chick" Evans. The
famous Chick was put. out bf the
running early this year.

"The fight game has become much

“The adoption of tile Marquis of
Queensbury‘rules. which called for
padded gloves, was the first move
toward a better sport. Bouts .of a
limited number of rounds also help-
ed.
“The use of boxing gloves made
for more science. since decisions
were based on points scored. In a
limited bout. it was not necessary to
score s. knockout to win.
“More science and less brutality
have been the two greatest factors
in putting the fight game on a. bet-
ter basis. and making it so popular."
“Training methods have also ad-
vanced with coming of the boxing
gloves and limited bouts.
"In my day when a. fighter pre-
pared fer a finish bout ,he was put
through all kinds of what are now
regarded as‘fool stunts. in order to
toughen him for'ths long battle.

Training was to take off fat. so why
drink water. Tile tighter was sl~
lowed to gzlrgle his throat with
water but lnllst not swallow it.
“That was my hardest job. to
keep from drinking water while
training. Often I would sneak a
mouthful or two when no one was
looking.

ber and flannel over our face while
doiiig' our training stunts. It had

"We wont even further in trying, .
to keep our face from being cut

face in a hardening solution for at

“We never thought as we did it
that the solution wss'slso toughen-
