Local Colleges May ORGANIZATION PROPOSED BY GEORGE Would-Include Maryland, WASHINGTON Georgetown and Catholic University in a South Atlantic Circuit—Gov- ernment to Run Rock Creek. BY WALTER F R. McCALLUM. ORMATION of an intercollegiate golf league, to include teams from five higher educational institutions in the South Atlantic section is the aim of goliers at George Washington University. With J. O. Bloom as acting captain of the tedm, the golfers of the university are laying plans for formation of an intercollegiate circuit, inviting Georgetown, Maryland University, Catholic University and Blue Ridge College to join in the organizdtion. A proposal made by thg George series of home and home matches Washington golfers is to organize a and an mtercollegiate championship among representatives of the colleges named. If organized, the league will be the first recognition of golf as an inter- collegiate sport in this section of the country, although all the large north- ern universities have tean® and play regular schedul Rock Creek Park, the popular northwest home of the municipal links divot dlggers, will be operated this year undef the supervision of the Government Welfare Board, with the clubhouse in charge of Maj. James \. O'Brien, U. S. A, retired. Maj. 0. N. Solbert, assistant officer In charge of public buildings and grounds, made this announcement last night Danny Horgan, who was assistant professional at Chevy Chase last ar and who has been golf instruc- tor at the Racquet Club during the Winter, will be the professional and instructor. The course and clubhouse will open next Friday, with the course in charge of Sergt. Patrick Joyce. Sergt. Joyce will also be in charge of construc- tion, upkeep and maintenance of the course, now under construction; which will be seeded by April 10. It is the hope of the constructors to have the new nine-hole course open for play by late Summer or early Fall H. F. Burns has been named liaison ofticer between the golf course and the office of public buildings and grounds. A new lunchroom has begn built, which will be enlarged as néeded. Mel Shorey, former professional at the Manor Club and now pro at West Potomac, had a remarkable round of golf at’ the Washington Golf and Country Club last Sunday, scoring a 70, which equals the pro record for the course, held by Dave Thomson. Shorey’s mark was mads under Winter rules, with preferred lies through the fairway, but it is nome the less remarkable, for in the Spring ground conditions do not lend them- selves to low scoring, even though the player is allowed to tee up his ball. Shorey played two reumds of the course, scoring 76 in the mgrn- ing and 70 in the afternoon. He was played with R. L. Nichols against A. L. Houghton and Charles N. Agnew, jr. Houghton and Shorey had a best ball of 64. Although there was mo discussion of the matches at the District Golf Assoctation medting last Monday night, it fs practically assured that the team matches which have been a feature of the Jocal season for two Years past will be resumed this sea- son. Ordinarily ‘the schedule for the matches is drawn up at a meeting held about the middle of May, and although no date has been announced “ for the meeting, it will probably be held about the same time this year. The matches do not start untll after the extensive local golf schedule is about completed. Columbia has won the championship for ‘three sycces- stve years. All nttendance records for the open- ing of the Bast Potomac Park golf course went by the boards vesterday, when 829 persons played the full 18 holes during the day. S. G. Loefler, in charge of the course, declared thet, desplite the threatoning day more people crowd- ed the falrways than on any other opsning day in the past five years. During the three days past more than six hundred players have ob- talned lockers. This is by all odds the largest figure recorded for any past preseason golfing Intersst. If Chevy Chase and Columbia could have been termed “easy” golf courses last year, that allusion cannot be made to them this year. During the Winter golf committees of the two .clubs have been busy, bunkering here, 2dding a touch of difficulty there and building new tees until the courses shape up harder than ever before. Columbia {s using its new seeond sreen, built on the site of the old put- 1lng surface, but brought right down fo the bank of the ditch and dropped it the back from the high level of iast year. It looks great now, but it's apt to be a little harder pitch shot than last Summer when the green bakes out, for the elevation against which a ball could be pitched is much lower and it won't be 80 easy to make it stick. Changés at the fifth at Columbia make mandatory playing straight across the big bunker, for a row of trees has been placed along the right side of the fairway, back of the ninth green At Chevy Chase, the golf committee 1as about finished its task of bunker- ing, with but minor items, such as a «mall bunker on the back end of the « thirteenth and a little more sodding needed to make the changes complete, While members of Columbia are withbut certain features which they have had in the ‘past, they cad note nrogress on the new locker room and swimming pool being constructed just west of the grillroom, which will give them much better facilities than they have ever had. Roland MacKenszie, the District amateur champion, s hitting the ball n better fashion than he did toward ‘he end of last year, when he was| it the peak of a game that seems destined to eend him a long way in national golf afalrs. Roland has been practicing steadily this Winter and, while he has made no serfous attempt at low scoring, is hitting the ball fine, ¥ Bunching of the local tournaments through the month of May and the first part of June, as this year, brings the guery as to why some clubs a0 not have Fall events. So far’Ban- mockburn is the only club that fs acheduléG {0 hold a Fall tournament, with the exception of the District amateur champlonehip. — Congres- «ional, however, may hold a Fall event. The latter part of September and entirs month ‘of “October are ideal for golf about Washington. Courses are just as good then as they are in the Spring, though perhaps the fournament spirit is not as strong. Yet the tendency seems to be to hold all tournaments in the Spring. And apropos of fhis subject, there was a serious discussion of the possi- bility of restricting the entrv lists of tournaments about Washington at | way, but there was no agreement as to how it was to be done. The 5ys- tem of the Baltimore Country Club {which limits players in its tourna- ment to a selected list of guests, was pointed out, but here the ques- tion was raised as to how & commit- tee could restrict the entries from the host club. In a club the size of Columbia or Chevy Chase that alone would be Guite a problem. Part of the course of the Kirkside Golf Clyb, that across the road in front of the clubhouse, where two holes used to be, ts now being bullt upon and houses .will soon stand where putting greens once were. Decltion of R. OUff McKimmie to become a professional leaves the Middle Atlantic Golf Assaciation without a champion and forecasts a lively struggle for the title at the Maryland Country Club June 18, 19 and 20. McKimmis won the title at | Richmond last year. CHICAGO MAN ROLLS 702 TO TOP TOURNEY BUFFALO, N.

Two threes at the short-sixteenth ended the match officially in Mise Collett’s favor, but the Providence girl when told she had two fours for a 78 and a new course record, plaved out. On both the seventeenth and eight- eenth holes the wind was blowing against the players. Yet Miss Col- lett was nearly home with two shots on the seventeenth, a hole measuring more than 400 yards, and on the home hole she carried over all trou- trouble wigh her brassie, ran her ap- proach defd and dropped the butt.

Holding it this way you can make the clubhead move straight up and down with the shaft merely bridged across the forefinger, as sketched. Also have some one try to pull the shaft straight out of your hand When it is held this way without the fingers being wrapped around it, and see how firm- 1y the hand muscles hold it in:place. - After taking the grip with the left hand, the next step is the important one of how Mr the player should stoop over. I express it that way he- cause for some strange reason golfers always want te know how much they should stoop. The real question fis, how erect can they stagd? You could hit hardest by standing perfect- ly erect, since the body can most freely turn in that position.

National OME little things ig the golf swing get big on the same principle stuck onto one side of a whirling fly- evolutions per minute. One of these is the manger in which the left hand grasps the shaft. The shaft should run across the palm of the hand, though not held in the palm, so that the end of the shaft is cushioned on the sensitive shaft down to his left knee level From that position, straighten up the body until you reach the point where the left arm, stralght, appears to be a continuation, in a straight line, of the club shaft. The left wrist does not bow upward— keep it in a straight line. -‘When you find this position, bring your right band to the shaft. This will cause your right shoulder to drop slightly. You now have the correct degree of uprightness for your swing. You may easily feel that you are standing almost erect, which s the way you sbould feel. . In figure 3 we see this action traced out. The dotted lines show how the stralghtening-up process progressed until the player is shown in @ cor- rect posjtion. This position of the left arm brings the end of the shaft squarely agaiust the hand muscles, as showa in figure, 1, and ylelds the maximum hitting power. If the left hand is wrongly placed at the begin- ning the weakness will Increase as the swing progresses, and probably result in many of the bad balls you Bit.

The latter tdams are now deadlocked as to 'number of game; won and - lost, must meet each ot once more, and the final occupant o runner-up position’ will undoubtedly hinge on their match of Friday, March 2T. An analysis of the averages of the five leading bowlers of the league shows that & margin of slightly more than a single point separates. Reds Megaw of King -Pins resumed the leadership by four pins over Rosen- berg of Curb Cafe. Twelve pins separate Wolstenholme of Kiug Pins and Ellett of Stanford Paper Co. and a like number of maples mark: the lead the latter has over his) teammate, Earl McPhilomy.

Motorists at Rock Point last Sun- day were informed that big white perch are being landed in the nets, but that the water is too cold just at present for them to take bait. The run s reported to be unusual as to size, the majority of them weighing about & pound each. The first report to reach this col- umn of fishing from Chesapeake Bay sald that a white perch welghing over & pound had been landed by an angler, who took his prize to Balti- more to be weighed and entbred in one of the fishing contests of that city.\ Unfortunately for him, but for- tunately for the rest of the fisher- £ moving pi in hatehe scenes alor re the angler prize.
