Resents Suggestion That Present-Day Players Are Better Than Old Brigade

New York, Apr. 26.

Though he's celebrating this summer the twenty-fifth anniversary of his first national open golf triumph, Walter Hagen still gets the light of battle in his eyes at the sug- gestion there is a new breed of "super-golfer" trodding the fairways these days.

"Do I think Bobby and I could have held our own in a series of matches with Ralph Guldahl and Sammy Snead?" gasped Walter. "Why, I'll tell you what. If Bobby would be willing to take off a year trom business right now and get himself in shape for a match with those fellows, I would do it, too-no fooling."

STILL SHOOTING SOUNDLY

Walter sounded exactly like hat meant it, and he probably did. He's. still shooting sound golf, despite handicaps, and never a golfer lived had the gall and confidence of the old master.

"Sure, they're shooting a little better average scores than Bobby and I did in our prime," he con- ceded. "But that doesn't mean any- thing. This sand wedge 'they're using now is enough to account for the difference by itself, not to men- tion that the modern ball rolls 30 or 40 yards further.

In passing, had not necessarily to clinch his argument, Walter men- tioned that he had won the British open four times, the U. S. open twice and the P. G. A. match play title ve times. He wouldn't even guess at how many championships Bobby, his potential partner against the up- starfs, had salted away in his time. "Thousands, anyhow," he said.

"Let's give these boys a little more time to see what they can do about winning championships," he suggested. "Bob and I want a real run for our money when we chal- lenge 'em to that match."
