DULUTH LINKS
WORRY GOLFERS
Nature Has Made a Course AID.
mirably Fitted to Provoke
Profanity.

Duluth Mimi, Aug. 19-St. Paul and Min
neapolis golfers are considering with just touch
OF anxiety the links of the Northland Country
club, and wondering what will be the outcome of
the play here in the state tournament next week.
Since the visit of the players from the
Bryn Mawr club to Duluth, stories of the
sporty nature of the Duluth links have been
carried back to the twin cities, and golfers who
lave been used to level fields and artificial haz-
ards somewhat troubled at the prospect of
billy country and natural hazards, and the con.
sensus of opinion is that the winner will have
to play golf in the Duluth tournament.
The Duluth course is, in fact, one of the most
unique and difficult courses in the country. With
the numerous natural hazards, such as the creeks
ravtnes and hills, the player has to keep well
in the course endless trouble will result
In many places on the course a topped ball
means struggle out of a ravine thru tall grass
while in other places sliced ball or an everyday
will cause almost as much difficulty.
Bogey for the course is forty-two strokes, di.
vidcd follows: 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, So
The principal hazard in the first hole is "a.
vine at the start, which requires a 175yard
drive to clear. Once over that the hole is an
easy one.
The second hole is hard one, about 375 yards
in length. A good drive from the tee leaves the
golfer facing a forty-yard ravine, which must
be cleared, and great must be taken not to
go too far, as forty yards beyond the ravine is
| tout of bounds
! The third hole requires 15o-yard drive tt
| cross the same ravine on the way back. Once
| across the ravine it is plain sailing to the
| green, with DOGGY 5. This is the longest
| hole the course, being over 400 yards.
| The fourth hole is 200 yards in length. The
principal danger being in pulled or badly
sliced ball, which would get the golfer out Of
| his course into rough ground.
| The fifth hole is a comparatively easy one
with few difficulties but the tall grass, which
| must be avoided.
From the sixth tee drive Of $50 yards /.
| necessary to clear a marsh, the street railway
| tracks and two fences.
The seventh hole presents an upright and very
| difficult bunker about $50 yards from the tee
after which comes a difficult midiron or mashit
shot over a ravine and then difficult approach
| to raised green.
| The eighth hole presents some difficulties IL
| the way of long grass which would be encoun
| tered with topped ball, but with 150-yart
| drive from the tee, no further obstacles would
present themselves. '...
! The ninth hole gives a chance to make lons
drive valuable. A 20O-yard drive would land thu
| ball where good midiron shot would clear thu
| ravine, but anything under 200 yards thu
| drive would make it very risky to attempt thu
ravine without another stroke. Once across tn
| rayine the course Is clear.

NEBRASKA STILL
TALKS FRESHMAN
Wants Gophers to Bar Prep Fresh
men from the Practice
Games.
Special to The Journal.

0peCldA 10 Lie JOURNAL p
Lincoln, Neb.,' Aug. 19.-The contract for the
annual football clash between Minnesota and
Nebraska universities has been approved by the
athletic board at Nebraska in accordance with
the desires of the Minnesota authorities. The
second contract submitted by Minnesota was
signed by Dr. J. L. Lees, chairman of the Ne
braska board, and forwarded to Minnesota. 1t
provides that the game shall be played in Min
neapos on Saturday, Nov IS, in accordance
with the conference rules. The interlineation by
Secretary Clapp of the Nebraska board of the
word present" so as to make 1t read .'present
conference rules was not approved by Minnie
sofa, which let to the forwarding of the second
contract. The date of the latter instrument is
May 1, 1905, the the original.
The approval by Chairman Lees of the con-
tract, however, does not finally determine that
Nebraska intends to be bound by the conference
rule barring freshmen from football. This sub
ject is one that must come before the Nebraska
board at its first meeting in September. The
present sentiment at Nebraska, aside from the
wishes of Captain Borg, is in favor of adopting
the conference rule, but the plain situation is
that the matter Is still unsettled. The date of
the Minnesota contract is May /, several weeks
previous to the final adoption by the conference
Of the freshmen rule. From this it is apparent
that Nebraska might contend that the rule is not
retroactive and that it could not govern a game
provided for by a contract entered into prior
to the enactment of the rule. Altho this would
be Nebraska's right, it is not believed that the
Nebraska board will resist the application of
the freshmen rule against its eleven.
1t has been suggested that much depends upon
the attitude oft he Minnesota authorities toward
other Ion-conference opponents, and that if Min
nesota insists that all other teams play under
the freshmen rule Nebraska will cheerfully be
bound to exclude the freshmen, while, on the
other hand, if the gopkers permit other oppo
nents, not in the conference, to play freshmen
then they cannot object consistently to the use
by Nebraska OF first-year players.

Real Estate Locations

1t is quite a matter of speculation
Always as to location, Some men like
small rent and lots of leisure time.
Some men like prominent locations and
the buzz OF business. There is only
one really prominent real estate office in
town, however. and that is the Walton
office: The. corner of Third street
and Hennepin avenue is going full
speed every minute from 6 am. until
midnight. Every car of any import
ance passes this corner and it stands
to reason that business must result. As
rental agents this corner makes the
Walton company impossible to beat be-
cause the inquiry in itself results o in
their t always having their properties
first before the public. The same as to
sales. Everybody goes to Walton first
and only deviates when their bargains
are cleaned out Location is everything
to real estate like it is to dry goods.
However. Mr.. Walton should be on
Nicollet if he really wanted to show
the town what real estate Office ought
to be.
