Speaking of Sports Shuttle Meadow golf course will be opened for play Saturday of this week, according to an announcement made today. The greens are in wonderful shape, the fairway is dry and the tees are all hardened and rcady for use. A large crowd of golf enthusiasts will be out to enjoy the first day of play. The course, however, hasn't been closed at all this winter. Strange to say, the winter weather was so mild that golfers kept the course occupied nearly every day during the winter season. They used tempor- ary greens and tees, of course. Tor a northern state, use of an outdoor golf course all winter long is an extraordinary happening. Val Flood, pro at the club and greenskeeper, returned today from a short vacation taken in New York. He has been kept busy in geiting the course in shape and the results of the work carried out under his| direction, have made many a wield- | er of the driver, irons and the| mashie, happy beyond description. 1. Fish and his wife are due home | this weck from a trip to Mr. Fish's | former home in Austria and a tour, of several European countrics. He is steward at Shuttle Meadow club. Boxers representing the Crescent | A.

The |Phantoms are defending champions | |and will go into the fight with the| lover the prostrate forms of the fav- orites to the title a year ago. But it will be a grudge game, and the Blues, too, a determined to win it. Rivals of long standing, with sizablc followings and with good records over the present scason, the teams are fairly evenly matched, and a fierce struggle is anticipated, The Bearcats are scheduled to meet the Independents in the other senior game, but today there was quite a possibility that the latter team would be unable to put five men on the floor and would have to forfeit. The Bearcats won t championship of the Y. M. C. A. Saturday afternoon league, going through the schedule without a de- feat. The Independents are com- posed of members of the High school squad of this season, The midget and jynior will be played at th morrow afternoon.
