A golfing St. George in the person of Archie Coinp?!on big torifile-headed blonde English "rnan, rose today to slay one of the American dragons who has been feeding steadily cn Jthe choicest tidbits of British golf since war lime days. ComDston eave Walter Haeen. sleek American profcsioral andi lormf-r British open champion, one of the most decisive drubbing ever administered, an opponent in a big challenge match when he chopped their contest short today with victory of IS tup and 17 boles to play. Score Decisive Against the man known as the world's finest match player, one wto had beaten Bobby Jcnes 11 and 9, trounced Abe Mitchell de cisively, and added the scalps of all other great players to hia col- pJ-Cnon. the tall, loose-limbed Co raps ton plied up such a score that the final round of the 72 bole affair consisted of only one hole. Compcton outplayed Ha gen at every turn and the little ellk flag of stars and stripes that marked the carry of Hagen's ball to the gallery bad not suffered such an ignominous display since the ascendancy of American golf In Britain after the World war. After .nearly every drive of the 55 holes, the American flag trail ed the Union Jack that marked Compston's ball and usually the debonair Walter was behind on shots to the greens. Fortunately, the stars and stripes were furled on the putting greens and the American emblem did not wave Hagen lost bole after hole on the carpets, where he Is supposed to outrank any living golfer. Compston Unbeatable Compston played Inspired golf !n two rounds of 18 boles yester day, sending Hagen home to reet at a disadvantage of 14 holes with blazing rounds of 67 and 68- The American rest was 72 and net bad golf under ordinary conditions, but the simple stroking of a nor mal duffer when confronted with the superb Control of the lanky Englishman. Although Hagen shot a 74 on the first 18 today, Compston maintained bis supremacy with another brilliant 70 that matched par for the course. In the three full rounds, Compston clipped even strokes off par and as 14 ander fours for the distance. Ha gen was eeven over par and one over fours. For the smiling Amer ican, who despite lack of practice throughout the winter took his lacing in the style of a true sportsman. It could be said only that probably no living golfer could have weathered the gale of pars and birdies Compston launch ed at him.

ILLINOIS SHOWS OP FASTEST III RELAYS BY CHARLES W. DUXKLEY Associated Press Sports Writer DES MOINES. Iowa. Apr. 28. (AP) In an afternoon of stirring performances but lacking In the usual wholesale record breaking. Illinois, champions of the western conference, emerged with a lion's share of honors in the closing events of the Drake relay carnival. A crowd of 14,000 watched the sport. The fleet Illini runners, compet ing in the six university relays, won three and finished second in two others. After winning the dis tance medley yesterday the sturdy Illinois quartets came back today to win the two mile and the four mile events. To top off their per formance, they trailed northwest- n r J victory in the 880 yard event and looked at the back of the Iowa runners in the 440 yard relay. Four Mile Relay Close The four mile quartet, McElwce, Novak, Stine, and Abbott, raced to a brilliant victory in the punishing four mile event after carrying on almost shoulder to shoulder with Indiana.' The Hoosier quartet led for the first two miles, but Stine pounded into the lead in the third and gave a slight edge to Abbott, the Illinois anchor man, when he sprinted off on the final relay. With Fields, the Indiana an chor man dogging his footsteps, Abbott set off on a bristling pace. Fields sprinting ahead of him be fore the half mile was finished. Abbott, however, came from be- hinds, cutting loose with a thrill ing burst of speed in the back stretch, and finished with 4 lead of four yards in the time of 18:30. Weatlaer Unfavorable Weather conditions were respon sible chiefly for the lack of record breaking. The situation waa per fect for the spectators, with a sum mer sun beating down on the Drake stadium, but a stiff wind threw clouds of dust into the eyes of the runners. The wind mount' ed to proportions of a gale, at times, slowing up the sprinters and dash men. In contrast to the usual record breaking only one mark fell into the discard today. That was In the shot put when Walter White of the Kansas teachers college of Pittsburgh, Kas., tossed the mlssle 48 feet 9 inches, breaking the mark of 48 feet 6 Inches bung up by John Kuck, another of the Kansas State teachers, this one from Emporia, in 1928. Bucking into a Btrong head wind. Jack Elder, fleet Notre Dame half back, strengthened his claim for a place on the American Olympic team by capturing the 100 yard dash in a close finish with George Hester of Michigan. Elder stepped the distance in 10 seconds.
