The putter which is the only prize in the Oxford-Cambridge golf match played this week hae a little history. It is the putter with which Hugh Kirkaldy won the Oyen Championship over 30 years There was a distinct St. Andrews atmosphere about that Championship. It wags played on the Old Course, and in the end—it was, by the way, the last in the line of the 36-holes Championships—there was a tie between Hugh and Andrew Kirkaldy. The story still survives of how "Andra," happily still with us, saw to it that his brother should win, since his health might preclude him from another chance. Hugh Kirk-alely gave the club before he died to Mr. John L, Low, who some years ago made it the treasured possession of the Oxford and Cambridge Society. As all golfers know, the St. Andrews wovuden nutter has held firm through the fads and fancies which have marked club evolution, and though to dry it occupies a minority position in the kits, it yields to no other putter at any rate in the fidelity of its devotees.
