COTTON CRACKS UP WITH RECORD IN SIGHT

Takes 13 For Two Holes At Important Stage Of British Golf "Open"

From F. J. C. Pignon

St. Andrews, July 7.

The most dramatic failure of Henry Cotton to break the record of the course, and head the field, was the final drama of a day of astonishing golf here at the open championship to-day.

With five holes to play, it was within the compass of D-itain's No. 1 golfer to do a round of 67, und more than 20,000 people saw him crash as completely as ever a great man lins toppled.

He took 13 for two holes and nished in 72, four shols behind Richard Burton, who earned first place at the head of the field with n magnificent score of 142.

The nightmare memory of a pulled drive had to be obliterated. Locke told me he was determined to fight the "beardies" this time. He did.

He hit a long drive boundary wall, but even with the wind blowing the ball into bounds, there was enough cut in it to carry the ball over the wall, and out of bounds. With stroke and distance

BRUEN'S 7

For spectacular golf the duel be- tween Locke and Bruen was one of the highlights. The Irish youth was playing a few holes ahead of Locke, and each knew what the other was doing.

Bruen's driving was so wayward he had some hard recovery work to do to get out of the whins and bun- kers. At the fifth he hooked so far off the line that his drive dinished on the brink of "hell" bunker at tho 14th. However, he took a spoon for his second, got his par ave, and with one long putt, a 'six yarder, at the sixth, was out in 37.
