ENGLAND'S FINE GOLFING WIN

REMARKABLE RECOVERY

AGAINST SCOTLAND SCOTS OUTPOINTED IN SINGLES

Carnoustie, July 4. ENGLAND defeated Scotland by two points in the annual international match here to day. Eng- land did not win a single foursome, but the team completely dominated Scotland in the singles, win- ning nine of the twelve matches and losing the re- maining three.

Two of the seven Ryder Cup players were beaten, Padgham by Adams and Burton by Fallon. Since the inaugural contest in 1903, Scotland has not won a match, and this was the closest game since 1912, when honours were divided.

ALL GRADUATES

Another of the stars of the fif teen is Kim Whitehead, who eap- tained Yale University in 1935-6, and was chosen last year by a poll of sports writers as All-American football star. He, like Fortune, is a 14-stone forward.

All the rest of the players are of the same kind, graduates from the big American Universities, and, considering the fact that the game has only been going seriously in the States for seven years, it has made immense strides that you such would think the players were wear ing seven league boots instead of ordinary Rugby ones.
