TO LANE MERUIT there wot
more than the title ol club golf
champion at stake in todays match
very much more indeed There
was for lmtance the need to wipe
out this Donald Youngs attempt to
humiliate Lane the evening before
after the semifinals when he called
across the club dining room How
about a little bet on the match to-
morrow Merrlt Say 3000 or so
It was a deliberate and Lane
thought cheap try to embarrass
Mm for Young and the others
knew Lane didnt have 5000 Old
Pop Weller sitting with Lane had
glanced at him to see how he was
taking it He hesitated and then
called to Young Ill take that
3000 betl And the so can be any-
thing you want to make ttl Lane
had looked appeallngly at Pop and
pleaded Dont do it Mr Weller
But Pop snorted Its about time
that showoff was taken down a peg
or two Under the circumstances
there was nothing for Young to do
but accept the bet but Lane sensed
he wasnt too keen about it
And then most important of all
there was Kay Cawley Now up to
a few months before to the Cawley
and Merrlt families and naturally
TCay and Lane the future was defi-
nitely settled for these two Then
Young entered the picture with his
flashy manofthcworld manners
clothes and swank car And he pro-
ceeded to give Kay the rush of that
young ladys life Lane was hurt
but somehow it all seemed so right
Not that he blamed Kay She was
young pretty and bubbling with
enthusiasm for life She deserved
adulation and also the good times
that Lane just making his start
was unable to provide In fact with-
out his fathers help he would have
had to relinquish his membership In
the Mldvale Country Club At best
It would be two or more years be-
fore he could rightly ask Kay to set
the wedding date
At breakfast Lane gave thought to
his problems He wanted to win for
his own sake he wanted to taste
the sweetness of victory over that
blowhard Young he wanted to
win for Pop Weller fine sport
gentleman and friend that he was
and most of all he wanted to win
back Kay Of course winning a golf
match wouldnt bo enough for this
last but It might help
Lane arrived at the club a good
half hour before the time set for the
start of the finals and as he drove
his modest coupe into the grounds
he saw Young on the practice tee
Mmmmm he thought the guy
cant be too confident
As he made his way through the
lockerroom to his alley Lane was
hailed from all sides with good
luck wishes Strangely he felt
none of the excitement which
seemed to fill the room He knew
that besides Pop Welters large bet
much money had been wagered on
the outcome of the match
He dressed leisurely and he was
lacing his shoes when Young en-
tered held out his hand and in a
volco loud enough to carry said
Good luck Merrlt
Lane promptly acknowledged and
returned the wish In kind but
thought Still playing to the gal-
lery
There was quite a crowd at the
first tec and for the first time Lane
felt a bit squeamish in the stomach
On the tee Itself he saw young
Willie Hopper waiting with his
clubs young Willie freckledfaced
snubnosed and hardly a dandy In
his wellworn dcnlm pants and
khaki shirt Willie loyal and capa-
ble at his job the thought made
Lane feel better He caught a
glimpse of Kay standing In the
crowd well back of the tee Lane
waved she smiled and waved back
in encouragement he hoped
They drove off straight ond far

Its members rather than a test for
topfilght pros It did boast how-
ever one hole the thirteenth which
would try the skill of the worlds
best Many Mldvale members had
protested this hole but the terrain
was such that Iho committee could
do little about changing It Two hun
dred and fifty yards from the tee
just far enough to catch the dulfers
second or third the fairway ended
and dropped abruptly into a jrully
about fifty feet deep This gully
with excellent turf stretched ap-
proximately a hundred yards along
the bottom before the start of the
rise back to the second section of
fairway
Arriving at the thirteenth Lane
still retained his one up lead of the
morning round He had played
steady golf and two or three times
he had fought off brilliant play by
Young which threatened his slender
He swung and hit hard and clean
with Youngs ball stopping a few
yards out in front They halved the
first hole In par figures and thats
the way it went until the seventh
when Lane rolled In a long curling
putt for a par to Youngs bogle five
to go one up Lane held that lead
until the twelfth when Young
blrdicd the short hole after his iron
shot from the tee had stopped a
scant foot from the cup Lane went
one up again at the seventeenth
when Youngs second found a deep
trap off the green And thats how
the morning round ended
Gallery ond players trooped Into
the club dining room for lunch The
big room was noisy with the clatter
of dishes and the chatter at the
tables as shots of the round were
talked over and replayed Pop
Weller sat with Lane You played
fine golf my boy but I think on one
or two occasions a little too safe
Dont let my bet disturb youLane
Win lose or draw the dickens with
It It doesnt mean a thing to me
except the satisfaction Ill get when
I collect it from that phony
At two the second round started
Now Midvale was no heartbreak-
ing course Tough enough and long
enough but an intelligent golf com-
mittee had pointed to make it Inter-
esting and suitable to the games of

lead On the tec Lane debated the
advisability of blasting for the gully
or playing it safe He decided on the
latter much to Willie Hoppers vis-
ible disapproval Willie reluctantly
handed over the requested spoon
and ambled off toward the brink of
the guUy Lone hitting first
stepped to the tee the murmuring
of the gallery ceased He swung and
hit hard ond clean The ball car
rled fairly straight as far as the
twohundrcdyard marker and then
hooked sharply downward and to
the left Two long bounces ond it
disappeared Into the heavy rough
Willie on the other side of the
fairway groaned as he hurried
across to locate the ball A member
of the gallery pointed deep in to a
tiny white speck at the base of a
small tree Willie glanced hurriedly
at the ball his heart sinking and
took up his position nearby It was
a bad break and he was puzzled
that the ball had bounded so deeply
into the rough
Meanwhile Youngs drive a tre-
mendous clout had carried the first
fairway and gained momentum as
it hit the downhill roll of the gully
rolling almost to the very center
He walked with Lane the gallery
trailing down the fairway from the-
e
Lone went into the rough and
glanced down at the ball Willie was
guarding It was partly burled Its
markings completely hidden It was
almost an unplayable lie and Lane
berating himself for the error in
playing safe had about decided the
best thing to do was to try to cut it
out to the fairway
Just then someone called Heres
a ball Lane Looks like yours I
Jim Meredith refereelng the match
walked to the second ball It was
but a few feet In off the fairway
sitting up pretty as you please on a
small tuft of grass Its markings
clearly visible Meredith ruled It
was Lanes ball and Lane with a
quick glance at the perfect lie se-
lected his brassle and sent the ball
sailing over the gully and well onto
the second section of the fairway It
was a perfect shot and the gallery
gasped
As soon as Lane had hit Young
walked up to Meredith I protest
that ruling he said How do you
know that was the ball Merrlt bit
from the tee It could have been
dropped there I Insist on examin
ing that other ball by the tree Im
sure Its Merrlfs ball because from
the tee I watched it bounce Into the
rough toward that tree His face
was white and set his voice shaky
as the import of his words suddenly
struck him
Thats your privilege Meredith
answered He went over to the tree
and lifted the half burled ball
Carrying it back to Young See
he said its a Falcon and you
know the make ball Merrlt Is play
ing With that he walked off
Pop Weller who had seen and
heard muttered to the man next to
Mm There goes your ball gamel
And the ball game went Young
dubbed his second completely the
ball missing the top of the gully and
rolling back to rest half way up the
slope He stood watching the ball
for a few seconds then his nerves
breaking slammed the club heavily
Into the turf
Yes youve guessed It Lane won
the match Best of all
Kay rushed
onto the sixteenth green where the
match had ended to congratulate
Lane and right smack In sight of
that large audience threw her
arms around his neck and kUstd
himAnd
And much to Pop WeUera

BISONS FAMILY TREE First comprehensive study of the Great
Plains bisons Uncage is being made by University of Nebraska state
museum from its collection of buffalo skeletal remains The large
skull and horns foreground are 500100 years old and belong to the
first type of bison to roam the Great Plains area The skull at left Is
50000 years old while the one at right Is a 1000yearold buffalo nearly
the same as the present type seen In parks and zoos Dr C B Schultz
director of the museum Is on the left with W D Frankforter assistant

BY THE HORNS
Museum Traces Family Tree
Of ShaggyHaired Plains Bison
WNU Features
LINCOLN NEB The family tree of the Great Plains
bison is being given its first geologically scientific appraisal
by the University of Nebraska state museum Research com-
pleted in the past eight years reveals that ancestors of the
shaggyhaired creatures which in the 19th century numbered
millions and drew hunters from >
over the world to the plains of Kan
sas and Nebraska first came to
North America about 500000 years
ago That was when the second of
the three big glaciers of the Ice Age
was retreating from the northern
Great Plains
Dr C B Schultz museum direc
tor and W D Frankforter assist-
ant curator of paleontology of the
museum report that their studies
thus tar Indicate two unusual ten
dencies In evolution of the bison
First the great granddaddy of
them all who came to this con-
tinent from Asia was character-
ized mainly by huge horns
which averaged 80 Inches frem
Up to tip But the body of this
creature known scientifically
as superblson was less than
a foot taller and a foot longer
than the present buffalo Suc-
ceeding generations showed
only one significant change
size of the horns They steadily
shrank totodays average of 22
Inches from tip to tip The body
remained nearly the same
Second the bison unlike
other prehistoric animals found
In North America such as ele-
phants rhinos horses and cam-
els first appeared on our con-
tinent as a large animal and de-
creased In size
The University of Nebraska scien
tists also believe on the basis of
present studies that the bison popu
lation has had Its ups and downs
The first bison they say apparently
was relatively few in numbers since
only a few scattered skeletal re
mains have been found thus far In
Kansas and Nebraska
But they Increased In numbers
rapidly as the climate began warm-
ing up and more food was made
available to the growing herds But
about 20000 years ago a human
civilization apparenUy a race ef
hunters migrated from Asia to this
continent and the numbers of bison
were greaUy reduced These tribes
however suddenly disappeared
from the Great Plains for reasons
which are still a mystery to scien-
tists After their disappearance
however bison herds staged a
comeback
The herds gained steadily In size
even after appearance of the early
Indians In the Great Plains region
But with the coming of the white
man the bison all but disappeared
from the continent
The research work now under-
way at University of Nebraska Is
expected to take at least five more
years to complete

Income Tax Cited
As Aid to Farmers
MOUNTAIN VIEW OKLA Do
you complain loud and bitterly
about that mounting levy which
Uncle Sam surreptitiously sneaks
from your pockets In the form of In-
come tax
If you do particularly If youre s
farmer you may obtain some con
solatlon from a local banker whe
contends that the federal income
tax has helped Oklahoma farmers
R M Kobs president of the First
National bank maintains thai
many farmers are making more
money than before because of the
Income tax Paying the tax he In
slsts forced farmers for the first
time to add up Income from the
HtUe things like milk and egg
checks and feed sales
As a result of having to figure
their tax the banker concludes
farmers have come to know Jusl
what profit they ore making from
some crop instead of merely guess
lng theyre getUng along all right
