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 Ave holes to play, it was within the compasa of Britain's No. 1 golfer to do round of 67, and more than 20,000 people saw him erash as completely as ever a great min has toppled.

He took 13 for two holes and Hutshed in 73, four shots behind - Richard Burton, who earned first place at the head of the field with a imagnificent 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.

Scotush crowds love a fighter, and they saw Cotton play some of the best golf of his life.

The record of 69 looked chlid's plus.But the last Ave holes of this COUTAL are terrorising. They have

OUT OF BOUNDS

N. Martin Pune, as a stylist, is as excellent a model as the late Harry Vardon, and his long swing, with no noticeable

If he continues to reproduce the glorious golf he has played in four rounds, with nothing more than five in them, he may upset calcula- tions about the favourites.
