ACTIVE DAYS FOR GOLF.
Yale and Princeton Will Lose Some
Their Ablest Golfers This Season,

yale and Princeton Will Lose Some of
Their Ablest Golfers This Season.
Golf activity was we'll started for
the season last week by the intercolle-
giate championship tournament on the
Ardsley club Inks" says yesterdays
New York Times. "It was a good con-
test, and much better golf was shown
than in the first big college event last
year. The four competing colleges
Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Column
bia-had their best men out, and the
personnel of the teams was not so very
much different from last years.
more radical change, however will be
noticeable in the next intercollegiate
tournament, which will be held in the
fall, and then hereafter annually in the
fall instead of in the spring. Several
of the best college golfers will be grad
uated in June and will not therefore,
be eligible to compete in the next event.
"Yale's championship team will suf-
fer severely, losing three of it's strong
est members-Roderiok Terry, jr., cap
tain, and president of the Intercollegi-
ate Golf association; W. Rosseter Belts,
who holds second championship golf
iicliolo VI tIt OllllCu oldlGS, eillu INs LIZ
Crowell. The experience of and able
game played by these three will be
big loss to the Yale team, and the new
men will have to work hard to uphold
the golf1ng reputation Of the university.
John Reid, jr., probably the strongest
Yale golfer; w. B. Smith and T. M.
Robertson, who played on the team
last week, will be eligible members
again, and another good man is T. l..
Cheney. a freshman, but who played
creditably with the team in some of the
recent matches. Cortlandt d. Barnes,
a st. Andrews member, and captain of
the Cutler school team, will enter Yale
In the fall and he will be a welcome adj
dition, so there is no DOUBT that a very
respectable team will be in the field
next season.
GOLF LOSS TO PRINCETON.
Princeton will lose her three best golf
ers-W. d. Vanderpool, Captain Louis
P. Bayord, ir., and John I. Blair, jr.
With the other three men of the team,
however, and other good material in
Princeton to draw from, it is hoped to
get up solid team for the next contest,
but it will require lots of practice on
the part of it's members to equal the
present one in golfing ability
Columbia will lose two or three men,
| bers, but the strongest ones, w. H.
Dixon, Cornelius Fellowes, jr., and Lou
| is Livingston, jr., will probably remain
and the chances are that the team will
be stronger next year.
| Harvard, however, fares the best of
all, for all of her strongest golfers will
| be eligible for the next match. OF her
team of six only M. S. Barger will leave
the university, Joseph H. Choate, jr.,
| w. Bayard Cutting, jr., and ]. F. Cur
tbs, the best players, remaining. c..
Tiffany Richardson, the brilliant young
Lakewood golfer, who came very near
winning the recent open tournament
there, will enter Harvard in the fall,
and he is practically sure of being plac-
| ed on the team. Then George c. Clark,
jr., will undoubtedly play, as he will be
through with the baseball season. He
is the golf champion now Of Harvard,
but being on the baseball team has kept
him from golf at this time. He is a
member of the Shinnecock Hills Golf
club at Southampton, l.. l., and when
in good practice he is hard golfer to
beat
The recent college tournament was
well managed by the Greens commit
tee of the Ardsley club, consisting of
the Rev. DR. Roderick Terry, Thomas
s. Stiles, r. w. Kelley, Morton Patton
and John T. Terry, jr.
The Yale championship tournament
will be held on the New Haven links or
Decoration day. The championship is
now held by John Reid, jr., who is also
a member of the st. Andrews Coli
