What becomes of all of golf's "kid

who clean up club championships at
IB and 16; break Into the sectional
tournaments the next year, with im
pressive results; win intercolleglato
championships, and get acres of
publicity in newspapers and maga
zines. Suddenly but quietly you don't
hear about these boys any more.
Well, somo of them you do. We heard
pretty good reports of' some in the
national amateur at Beverly last
September. But they were only a
handful, out of the thousands, all
over this broad land.
- We were talking about the mat

"Perhaps for two reasons," he
explained. "You hear less of the
