January *—The wealthier the golf cluh the more| strictly it is devoted to zolf. it was| shown today hy an investization of | | | the rebellion here and there against high of running country clubs which mix social functions with the sport of the links. Conclusive evidence was furnished by the fact that members of Old Elm Cluh, Chicago. sald to be the most exclisive golf elub in the worla plaved more zolf during the Winter than those who belongad to more popular organizations. While all the members of Old Elm could well cost climes during the frizid season. many of them stav at home for husiness reasons and face old Boreas even down to_zero.

Most of the men are in| the declininz vears of life and hrook | the sport that | | adds to logevity. In the popular clubs most of tha members are vounzer and have little other opportunity for social affairs excent as an accessory to zolf. In <ome zolf almost becomes an adjunct fo society. These poorer men cannot | afford fo keep open house in man- | sions or ta helong also to a down- town club for business confabs and | to a suburban cluh for dancing and cards, as can the wealthler men The only poor man’s golf courses| which are maintained sa strietly for | zolf as the millionaires’ are the Dublic links and the daily fee courses Sven the latter. in some cases. ai- | tempt to provide social functions for habitues. | PROS TO TAKE ACTION | AS TO COLLEGE STARS COLUMBUS January 22 (P, Changes in rules regulating the of college players in organ <sional foot hall will he discussed the national foot ball leaegiie meeting in Detroit February & and 7.
