GOLF.
LIVELY SEASON FOR COLLEGE TEAMS
PENNSYLVANIA MAY ENTER
CHAMPIONSHIP.

S. P. Nash, jr., secretary OF the intercollegiate
Golf Association expects 10 issue his programme
for the annual championship within the next few
days The indications that the contest
will create far interest than for several
years One reason for this is that the University
of Pennsylvania is almost certain to enter team,
and some OF the Southern colleges may take part
as well. Another is that the association itself
seems TO have walked Up to the fact that it can't
run things in the slipshod way that has usually
been adopted The last championship at Garden
City was a fZzle. Nobody knew when II was to
take place and nobody there when it did take
place. Even some Of the competing teams We're
uncertain as TO the exact date until a few days
before the tournament. Percy Pyne, "a, was the
winner. but the match in which he got the cup was
finished after dark, when the play was as much
a question of luck of skill. That was In Oc-
tober 1899 Since then there has been no cham
pionship. Last year the now defunct Laurence
Harbor Country Club attempted to run off sort
of college team match tournament, but although
Yale won no official recognition of the victory
made.
This year things are being a different
plan. The annual meeting in New-York a few
weeks ago definitely decided the week of May
as the date, and the response from Atlantic
City fixes the place. The college boys feel now
that If the contest does not receive good support
it never will In this they basing their hopes

but is said TO work 10 charm. Under IT, the win
plus one-half the number of holes by which he
wins. Such a plan will reduce the scores, but
should make the championship even more closely
fought than usual Yale and Harvard have now
each victories TO their credit, on the team
trophy. and should either win Atlantic City it
will hold the cup permanently
Just present Harvard seems to have the pet

strongest players at Cambridge this spring are
Harry Hollins. G. G Clark; c Tiffany Richardson

Hollns won the interscholastic Championship last last
year. and reached the third round of the national
