Sport: U.S.O. Trap

A golfer in a sand trap can usually give plenty of reasons for his being there. Last week the U.S. Golf Association gave him another: patriotism. Adopting the suggestion of Chicago’s Fred B. Snite, father of the famed Iron Lung patient, the U.S.G.A. recommended that every U.S. golf club designate one of its traps a “U.S.O. trap.” Every time a he-golfer lands there, he would be fined 25¢ (for she-golfers, 10¢)—the proceeds to be turned over to the United Service Organizations.
