WBO iz the greater golfer Tommy Armour or Joe Turcica? Armour, you'll say right off. Didn't he win two national titles in the summer of 1927 our national open and the Canadian open? Yes. he did and, consequently, takes rank as one of the three greatest club-wielders of the year, the other two being Bob Jones and Johnny Farrell. But consider this: Not long since the records showed that Turnesa and Armour each had played 74 rounds of tournament golf; and durinj those 74 lounds Jce had used exactly two Most Popular Woman Golfer May Come Back, But Chances Are Slim By BALPH TROST.

WHEN confidence Is lost, the golfer' itrokes follow. That li the undeniable law of the links. Within the month the golfing world has watched the star of one of the best women golfers wane. It read of Olenna Collett's defeat In the recent national women's championship at Cherry Valley by Mrs. Alexa Stirling Eraser and.

within the week, of Clenna's losing to a virtual unknown. Miss Helen Paget, In the Canadian championship. It does not want even to hear of Olenna's descent from the pinnacle which she reached, for the Providence lass is one of the most popular American golfers. To have attended the last woman's championship was to have been assured of her popularity. But the fine qualities which have made her beloved could not win her matches.

Glenna lacked confidence. The pretty girl who entered the last championship a favorite Is but 24 years old At that age the men are usually Just acquiring real, stable confidence, having passed through the devil-may-care youthful stage and the doldrums which follow. Bob Jones, tit? slSl or more golfers who were far better 10 years ago than they are today. And these men have not passed the age when the average golfer is at his best. They were greater golfers in their more youthful days.

But their confidence in themselves was lost. They are still playing, but ineffectually. And the deterioration of their game was not due to lack of opportunity for practice. Those of whom we arc thinking have had no financial worries. Still Fine Wood and Good Iron Player.

GLENNA COLLETT is still a fine wood shot player, when she Alec Brown, the Plamfield professional, whose memory litretches far back, told me the story. Playing the High Hole at St. Andrews; that is. the seventh. Tom went into the small, deep Strath bunker short of the green.

He had an almost Impossible shot to get out, and his opponents, who were resting securely on the green, deemed he had no chance to win the hole. "Pick up, Tom," they said. "No." said he, "I'll get it out." He added Jokiniily, I'll hole it. too." A gentleman of wealth happened to be watchinir nearby. "Fifty guineas to one you don't," he said.

Tom forgot caution. "Done," he said. Whereupon he blasted cut his ball anri into the cup it went! Fifty guineas well earned. But did old Tom Morris pocket the money. Not he.

Ke refused absolutely to collect, thereby heaping coals of fin upon the head of the man who had dared to doubt him. Marshal Haig Gets the Trjth. BROWN has a brace of good stories about Andy Kirkaldy. the Scotch -veteran, who is said to have beau one of the headiest golfers that ever lived. One day Andv was playing a round with Field Marshal the British commander in the World War.

Haig isn't much of a golfer. Oa 1 ISJJ Q.W! yCU-OTXL-i I credit, though Walter Indubitably is a grand putter, also. Jones Likes Ilazcn as a Partner. And what a temperament he has the old Haig! Years ago, Eobby Jones to'd me he was always glad when he, was paired with Walter in an open championship. 'I love to play with Walter," said he.

"He never crabs about his luck; Staggs Hard-Boiled Yarns Reveal Football Changes lets for all the brilliance of his teens, was hot then the golfer he is today. Jones Did Not Lose Bis Confidence Even In Defeat. BOBS LONG YEARS of struggle against all-comers in his unsuccessful open championship ventures did not destroy his belief in himself, even though his sustained defeats did establish a sort of fatalistic attitude. Bob, however, came through at In-wood and won the championship he craved. Since that time, he has not been without one of the four leading golf titles of the world.

But Olenna's case is different. Bob Jones was beaten by men playing remarkable golf. Olenna was defeated by those of her sex not scoring as well as Miss Collett could two years ago. Olenna was defeated by her arch enemy of the links, Mrs. Fraser, when the Canadian woman scored an approximate 83, which is not unbeatable golf.

Glenna, in this match, was not playing nearly as good golf as she can. Miss Pagel's score was higher than Mrs. Eraser's. Miss Collett Blindly Pinned Faith on Spoon. SHE HOLED but one sizable putt in her first three rounds at Cherry Valley and missed a dozen.

And when confronted by the dire need ci executing a good golf shot she pinned gamoie, upon a spoon wmcn nao served her well in other matches. But on this occasion it failed miserably. That one stroke, the spoon shot to the fouiteenth green at Cheny Valley, stands out as a most miserable failure. It looms as the one shot which carried with it a verJict of "victory" for Mrs. Fraser.

But it was not the only one. There were tnanv others which add weight to the firmly established belief that this cne-time champion has already played her best golf. Has Had No Easy Path In Golf. A POPULAR figure In American sport pays the penalty. An idol has no private life.

What she does and all things happening which have a connection with her are the property of her public. Glenna has had no easy path. Oolfdom Is aware of the struggles she has had not only, against oppo-rents but the tremendous necessity of winning her matches. To have lost would have been greatly embarrassing to those who backed her with money to win. Carrying that knowledge made her burden too heavy.

To lose meant not only the personal loss which one feels when unsuccessful but loss of money to others. Such knowledge could not but have been unnerving to sensitive Glenna. One cannot read all Olenna's thoughts. But the bits of information, backed by her playing in important championships, dovetail nicely. Mrs.

Horn Has What IeJ OLENNA'S stead there reigns another woman, Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn of Kansas City, a girl of Olenna's age and who also has had struggles but who retained through it all the most supreme confidence ever seen on a golf course. Married at the age of 20, mother of a baby boy, divorced when not yet 23 years of age those facts did not aid her golf. Yet when it came to the showdown, Mrs. Horn had the nerve and confidence to win with strokes not as fine as Miss Collett's.

Mrs. Horn is firmly confident that her game has far from reached its zenith. Few Regain Their Lost Golf Confidence. GLZNNA may come back. But it Is doubtful.

Golf's history is replete with the records of those who shone brilliantly only to lose their belief In themselves and never to return to the heights. Right here In the Metropolitan District there are 20 THB annual championship of the United States Professional Golfers Association is now approaching, somewhat slowly. It is late this year, in November, at Dallas, Texas. Speculation begins as to the old Hatg. who has been winning that fixture so consistently that in some quarters there Is a sort of conviction that It belongs to him, says O.

B. Heeler, Associated Press. He went to the finals at Pelham in 1923 and lost on the 38th green in a furious battle with Gene Sara-sen, his traditional foe. Since then he has won it three times In succession. The old Haig hasn't looked so formidable this season.

He had a strained foot earlier in the year and seemed unable to do himself justice. He showed badly In the (12,000 tournament in Atlanta in March, and was not very good in the North and South open. He played pretty well in the Ryder Cup matches with the British professionals, and in the United States open seemed at last to have got started, reaching the final round in a position usually a favorite with him just enough back of the lead to worry the leaders. But in place of closing the gap he slipped again. Cannot Be Counted Out.

Still, let us not count the old Haig out of his favorite tournament as yet. I suspect there will be some battling at Dallas before he capitulates if he does capitulate. I like to see Walter Hagen play golf. His game usually is marked by great variety. Seldom does he produce what Bernard Darwin calls the "brilliantly dull" rounds of Bobby Jones.

Walter explores the course thoroughly, as a rule. He mingles eccentric tee-shots with recoveries of incredible spectacularity. And when he gets within striking distance of a mashie-niblick, I know of no player who is quite so deadly. Walter's putting has a great reputation, but to me the strong spot in his game is the pitch from 120 yards inward. It is that factor that leaves him with so little putting to do that the old putter gets a bit of vicarious GAMES FEATURE EAGLEGONTEST Yale-Army, Dartmouth-Harvard Listed in Ten Games for the Week.

The entries in last week's football contest smashed all precedent in numbers. So far each week has seen more and more contributors; winners trying again, losers out to win and newcomers Joining in the merry party. Last week's schedule was a tough cne to dope out, but the palm should go to this week's program. The outstanding game of the week is the annual pilgrimage of the Cadets to New Haven. Yale suffered defeat at the hands of Georgia.

The average number of mn In the upper three classes at West Point was 288 for last year. Considerinn only the men of the first two football teams, the linemen had an aveniuc clans standing for last year of 9tt. while the backs averaged 149.

And It was in the first British open championship that he won that Walter enunciated what, to me, is the supreme philosophy of golf and of life. Frcm a certain tee at Sandwich, he hit a magnificent, long drive thai, met with a wretched break in luck, the ball, driven exactly to the spot in the fairway designed by WaKer, football! Small wonder that a growing number think our sense of proportion has been bent backward upon the gridiron.

Took Real Evidence To Convince Umpire. STAGG gave a tip-off in that anecdote, a partial explanation of why It becomes increasinsly evident, that there is over-emphasis on college But when he harks back to the old days of bone-crushing, one is encouraged. Hector Cowan, the man who "left lasting on Harvard and Yale." we learn used to swear venomously, "Oh, sugar!" He was a divinity student at Princeton. "It was in the Pennsylvania gr.me that season (1388) that Charley Gill, brother of Geortre, and a brilliant player offensively and defensively, had complained repeatedly to thi umpire against a member cf the Penn team, without result. In the secend half, two of Gill's front teeth wore knocked out.

Holding the teeth In his palm, he walked up to the umpire and exclaimed triumphantly, but indistinctly, "Pyaps y'don't b'li've he thlugged me "Sometimes." continues "slusgmiT grew out of prep school feuds carried over Into college.

Yet who shall say that Joe is less i goiter than Tommy? Last winter in the winter resort campaign Armour won the Long Beach (Cal.) and El Paso opens, while Turnesa captured the Sacramento and Shreveport opens. An even deal there, but when they came North in the spring Joe ceased to get the breaks. When you want to lay your tinner on a genuine golfing unfortunate, however, consider the cace of Leo Dieffei.

"Leo certainly has had a touh year," said Gene Sarazen to me not long ago. "He hasn't had a ringle break in his Tavor." "Tough!" echoed Leo. "I'll say I've had a tough year. Nothing has. gone right." The flsiires bade him up.

Tom HIorrH Teaches a Lessen. IT WAS Tommy Kerrigan who toid me that once, when he was trying to qualify for the national open, a member of his club who was following him around bet him 50 to 1 that he couldn't sink a 20-foot putt, whereupon Tommy took the bet and won it.

She still is better than the average good woman golfer with the irons. But In that part of golf which is based more upon confidence than anything else she falls. The short game the more delicate strokes in golf is where Olenna's lack of confidence shows. The experiences of others may be taken as proof that the vast majority never come back. Francis Ouimet is one of the very few who have, the great Bostonian having almost lost his game for a period of two years only to return again to the ranks of America's foremost amateurs.

Ouimet, however, was ill. And his strength was never fully recovered. Francis lacks a stroke a round of being a Bobby Jones but nevertheless, in the early rounds of a championship, is a dangerous competitor. Miss Collett, too, may come back. Assuredly American golfers hope so.

HDW much ideas are changing in the coaching of football teams was perhaps never better illustrated than by "Bill" Roper, who, after seeing a couple of siar backs put out of the game for the rest of the year by accidents occurring while practicing falling on the ball, scrapped that form of exercise from the training schedule of the Orange and Black. Going, too, is the old-fashioned coach who used to skin the hide off a player who pulled a "boner" or who otherwise, aroused his mentor's wrath. Football coaches are comin? to understand human psychology. They are beginning to realize that a boy who is doing ills best is hardly likely to be stirred to pi ay above himself by a Wounded feelings are an uncvertaln spur with which to goad a player in a slump.

The wrangling, hell-raising coach is going cut, along with slugging, felonious linesmen and bone-crushing backs. Some of the oldtimers still hang on, glorying in tne gory traditions of the past. But one already senses that they are out of step with the majority. One of these is "Old Man" Stag, who has never got over his playing days at Yale. Alonzo was of the breed we now call "he-men." A man who could not stand up and take it and give it on the field was In those days regarded as a milksop.

Power meant muscle and bone and a trip to the hospital was a glorious way to cut classes. Chicago's "Old Man" still feels chesty about those bygene times and about some of the hidings he has handed his men, in the good old days. Coach's Sarcasm Bit Deeply.
