The Western Amateur Golf championship

| is considering making the same for the
| Transmississippi. This year the golfinE
solons have decided to adhere to the thirty

holes Then comes second, third, and semi

finals over the longer route. There seems
to be no real reason why the Intervening

first and last. In spite Of the fact that the
Britisher asserts strongly that eighteen
holes is the only game of golf, the fact

less likely to affect the result in thirty.
| six hole route. Apparently the shorter
! rounds are inserted as time-savers, but
six days would suffice to run of tn,

course.
