Offer Made To Joe Louis

Intends To Wipe Out Last British Defeat At Southport In 1937

London, April 16.

The unanimous appointment of Henry Cotton as captain of this year's British Ryder Cup team is a recogni- tion not only of his outstanding ability as a player but of his position in the game. By sheer force of character he has, at the age of thirty-two, climbed to the pinnacle of fame. Entering the profession at seventeen, he was fascinated by the prospects offered in a universal game which in modern times has produced such great personali- ties as R. T. Jones and Hagen.
