Jones, who overcame a violent temper and went on to win what Grantland Rice called the unprecedented "Impregnable Quadrilateral of golf," said in a sincere, homey acceptance speech that he "modestly expected" to be named to the National Golf Hall of Fame. "But it never occured to me I'd ever be in an Athletic Hall of Fame," he mused. "I never though of myself as an athlete.

When I was at Georgia Tech I tried the 100-yard dash. It might have been a dash to some, but not to me. I finished In about 18 seconds, I think, and there was no one behind me. "I looked down that long 220 straightaway we had no South stands at Grant Field then and decided I'd have to run It like a miler, start slowly and give it a good kick near the finish.
