Keeler that his defeat was not due to lack of either courage or technique. Adding one more to its string of lucky or prescient articles (TIME, May 24), the Saturday Evening Post last week carried a biography of Golfer Guldahl written two months ago by Sportswriter Keeler, which, if bookmakers at Oakland Hills had been sophisticated journalists, might well have caused them to shorten their Guldahl odds...

They sang such lumber camp ballads as Never Take the Horseshoe from the Door, danced jigs, reels, clogs. Average age of the Michigan group: 67. The Wisconsin lumberjacks played on a one-string Norwegian instrument called the salmodikon. Seventy-one-year-old Sven Svenson, in a chef's costume, chipped a two-inch piece of birchbark from a log, put it to his lips and played a thin, shrill tune on the chip...
