SKIPPER

After experiencing the worst season in the history of the club last year, the United Services Club at Fortsmouth are now expecting their most prosperous campaign for many years...

Practically all their old players have returned from foreign service, and with many other players back from the Mediterranean after the Abyssinian war, they are at full strength. Moreover, the club rules have been revised to admit men As well as officers, and there are 120 players already endeavouring to get into the three teams for whom Axtures have been arranged.

Lieut. W. Elliot, the Navy's best fly-half since the days of W. J. A. Davies, and England's best player in that position up till three sea- sons ago, is the outstanding play- er to return, and he will captain the side. Lieut. D. St. Clair Ford, the former Scottish International wing-three-quarter. has returned from China, and Lieut. E. J. Un- win, last season's England trials. player will be the vice-captain.

by 4 and 3. in a challenge match over 18 holes at Wimbledon Park "recently,

Cox's putting was the chief fac- tor in his victory. He took 24 putts for 15 holes to Padgham's 29. The last three holes were played out. and halved In 3, 4, 3, Cox having a score of 64 to Padgham's 68.

Cox and Padgham, bosom friends, and fellow Ryder Cup players. delighted a crowd of 500 people by the quality of their golf. Padgham drove superbly but some- times under-clubbed himself with securid shots, and this, combined with the deadliness of Cox on the green, settled the fate of the Open champion,

Padgham won only one

of the niteen holes for which he was two under fours. Cox, six under fours, was stymied out of possible wins on three greens.

Sociology Claims

A New Section

MENACE OF THE AIR BOMBER

The British Association took its farewell of Blackpool recently after one of the most successful meetings in the Association's 107 years' history, writes the "Morning Post" science correspondent.

To the scientists has come new knowledge of holiday crowds and their enjoyments. And it is be- Heved that progress has also been made in introducing more of the "common touch" into the Associa- ton's discussions, particularly matters where science affects or- dinary life.

Summing up the lessons to be learnt from the meeting, gir Josiah Stamp, the retiring Presid- ent. expressed the opinion: that more money should be spent in this country on research into "social biology"--which is general- | ly taken to cover the varied pro- blems of human heredity and ex- vironment, education and -(8k Josiah Stamp's special interest) the social background of scientific discovery,

He is proposing to expand his ideas on "the science of man" to the importance of which he refer- red in his presidential address, in a forthcoming book.

The Association may even give itself a new section of" "sociology." But Sir Josiah added the warning that the setting up of new sections

25-FOOT PUTT WINS

THE MATCH

J. McLean, of Hayston, Scutiana, recently lost the chance of being the first British golfer to win the American Amateur title for a quar ter of a century. In the final he lost to J. Fischer, son of a Cin- cinnati postman, at the 37th hole after being 3 up at the 27th.

"Fischer deserved to win." sald McLean. "Anyone who can finish like that deserves to win the cham plonship, and anyone who takes three putts on five greens in one. round deserves all he gets."

The Scot's putter lost him the title. During the afternoon he took three putts on five greens. The American, who had appeared a certain loser as far even as the 27th, took heart at these putting lapses when he appeared a beaten man. He won two holes by this means and certainly aaved another.

At the 34th, where the Scot was one up, with two to play, he was lald dead stymie. He took a alblick and tried to loft it over his opponent's ball. but only halved a hole that had he won would have made him dormile two.
