"a $ t : i Enid Wilson Tells Where Trouble Lies Failure of athletes from Great Brit- ain to compete successfully with rep- resentatives of the United States has eauséd keen disappointment in many circles. All sorts of excuses and alibis have been made. The most common one used to be that the war had wiped out a generation of British athletes. But even that one is getting shop worn. It remained for Enid Wilson, ~| British women's open golf champion, to tell off the unsuccessful compet- itors. She said: : "The trouble lies in the fact that we are frightened to be found work- ing at the game. I have come to the conclusion that it is merely an excuse for sheer laziness. It would be quite pare guilty. truthful to say that none of our wo- men golfers ever goes out of her way to polish up her game before a cham- pionship. The pretend to play golf for the fun of the game, but their re- luetance to admit their keenness is possibly by way of an apology for the indifferent results which they pro- duce." Those same remarks apply to all lines of British sport. In the United States they work to perfect selves in whatever special branch of athletics they choose. The result is to be found in the point scoring. Even the professional golfers of Britain own Open Championship since A. G. Havers finished in front in 1923.
