Walter Hagen, dean of professional golfers, might have a tendency to play all over the course when golfing, but as a rifle shot his aim is faultless. "The Haig," who is playing in the $2500 Santa Catalina Island open tournament, got up in the early hours of this morning to go hunting for some of the many wild goats which abound in the mountains of this island. Although out. for just a short time, Hagen's crack marksmanship accounted for seven goats. As a result, the hundred-odd golfers on the island had a goat barbecue tonight. ed 13 PREPARE FOR POREIGN QUINTS WARM RECEPTION PLANNED FOR COAST.

NOT DRAWBACK. And then, of course, there's the case of the Fond Mama, who, in a vague sort of way, knew her son was of considerable Importance to the football team, but who was willing to let it go at that. Asked one day what phsition he played; she replied, after some hesitation and two false starts, "Why. I'm not sure, but I think he's the hind quarter."
