Former Bluffton Girl Sees Golt Cup
Matches On Famed Scottish ourse
An account of the alker up
match on the famed St. Andrews
Golf course in Scotland May is
contained in the following letter
received by Mr. and Mrs. Sidney
Hauenstein from their daughter
Mrs. Wm. Tod of Galashiels, Scot
land. the former Barbara Joyce
Hauenstein:
“We saw the Walker Cup Match
at St. Andrews, Saturday. The day
was perfect and We had a marvelous
time. i
“We got up at 6:30 and while I
packed a lunch Willie did the break
fast dishes so we were able easily
to catch the 8:40 into Edinburgh
where we boarded an Aberdeen
train which got us into St. Andrews
about noon.
“As Willie not only had seen the
last Walker Cup Match there but
had also played on the course he
knew the most advantageous spot
in which to watch the proceedings
on the 17th hole—a very difficult
Let us talk over your problems.

"The course is long and narrow
bounded by the railroad on one side
and the North Sea on the other.
“To a St. Andrews’ man the sight
of the stars at night is a hint that
the time has come to uproot daisies
from a green. When he sees a
shooting star I am sure he cries,
‘What a drive'”’ A quote from
Morton’s In Search of Scotland.
There is quite an article in the book
on the golfing tradition at St.
Andrews.
“After we saw the eight players
on both sides play the 17th we walk
ed around the club house and saw
the first pair tee off for the second
round (they had eaten lunch mean
time.)
“Willie and I were quite brazen
for of all the thousands of people
there we seemed to be the only ones
who had brought along a picnic
lunch which we ate while waiting
for the players to arrive at the
17th 1016.. The lunch was wrapped
in two Bluffton Newses which had
arrived Saturday morning and w-hich
I took along to read on the train.
Willie and I wondered where the
crowd had eaten because in going up
town later we saw hardly any eating
establ ishm ents.
“There were four American wives
who accompanied their husbands and
followed them around th# course. As
we were leaving I spotted an
American girl, a spectator like us,
by her clothes and hair-do and
spoke to her.
“Her husband is with the Associat
ed Press in London, and as a golf
fan had come up to cover the totfr
nament. Her home is in Kansas
and they have been over since
August on a three year stretch, and

“The town of St. Andrews is very

When you come over this summer it
is a “must” on our list. The Univer

is very old, the oldest in Scotland I
think—built on the Oxford tradition.
Besides the University the other

THE RADIO-CONTROLLED PROJECTILE, pictured here on the
aunching ramp in the plant where it was manufactured, has under
gone successful flight tests in Britain. Named the Stooge, it has an
endurance of 40 seconds, a speed of over 500 miles an hour, and a
range of about eight miles. The rocket’s accuracy and manoeuyer
abinty lead its British designers and constructors to consider it a
good defence weapon with possibilities, when further developed,
against bombers carrying atom bombs. Stooge’s length is 754 feet,
its wing span just under 7 feet, and its weight 738 pounds.

championship match was played by
a king and a tradesman in partner
ship against two nobles..
“Another quote from Morton’s
book: ‘Golf today,’ said Mr. Kinskill,
‘is a ladies game compared with
the golf I remember at St. Andrews
half a century ago. I remember
playing with the hand-hammered
gutta-percha halls. Damned annoy
ing things when they broke! The
rule in those days was that you put
the new ball on the place where the
largest fragment of the old one
fell!’

Dr. Macartney also has found time
