Ever since the two lads began to realize that par was not a_symbol for 'money and that it could be attained if a golfing lad paid attention to his knitting this family rivalry has been developing. It hes now gone to the white-heat stage and the youngsters have finally agreed to battle it out if it takes all Summer. It probably will, for no matter what happens in their scheduled match at Columbia during the coming week, the loser will have plenty of opportunity to challenge his victorious brother again. Both the lads are good enough to whip around any course in near-par figures. Both have played their home courses in par and both are training to this match.

Kent's time for the mile and five- sixteenths was 7 minutes 43 seconds. Kent's youngsters won easily despite very rough water. They Were rowing against a strong wind and the stream was very choppy in the open stretches. Takes Lead at Start. FTER a good start, Kent pulled A into a slight lead in the first 20 strokes. There was daylight be- tween the shells at the quarter-mile mark. Slowly but surely the Americans pulled away with a long, unhurried stroke. At the half-mile mark Kent was leading by nearly two lengths. At this point Lensbury’s plucky crew spurted and held their distance almost to the mile, but here the Kent coxswain called for a higher beat, and the Ameri- cans quickly picked up another half length. As the crews entered the enclosures, Lensbury attempted to cut down Kent's lead, but the Americans packed entirely too much power and drew away easily. The victory sent Kent into the final against either the London Rowing Club, conquerors of Hun School of Princeton, N. J.. yesterday, or Bedford Modern School.

Of course, when the lie is very bad the spoon is of no avail. The player has to call upon whatever well lofted iron the situation de- mands and play as far into the fairway as he can, trusting to a good third shot to make up for whatever deficiency his shot into the rough has entailed.

This latter will slow up an iron or turn it. The spoon will not turn if gripped firmly. and the stroke is powerful. A sliced or shanked shot is less likely, too.
