Intends To Wipe Out Last British Defeat At Southport In 1937

London, April 16,

The unanimous appointment of Henry Cotton 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.
