The revolt of the Western Golf

the parent organization the necessity

1t is generally believed that an amend

mtted to the effect that instead of
clubs retaining the voting power as
associated members, the government
Of the organization be vested i'm the
sectional or territorial organization
and all individual clubs be relegated to
the list of the non-voting allied mem
hers. The clubs that hFe, lcharter
members would he excepted from the
list. These are the Brookinc Country
Club, st. Andrews Golf Club, Chicago
Golf club and shinnecocl Hills Golf
Club

posed revision of the constitution, the

an anpIicnnt FOR both tho man. on,o -
teur and the open championship. The
Brookline Country club also would

Y0ST WILL PROBE SMITH
CASE FOR THE FACULTY

Athletic authorities at the University
OF Michigan viii leave no stone un-
turned to eliminate professionalism
from sports. They have started in
earnest TO prove the record of Ed
ward Smith, whom it is alleged car
RED on wrestling as a side line before
ne entered the Ann Arbor school. Mon
day Coach Fielding II. Yost passed
through Chicago and while there con-
Quoted an Investigation of the alleg-
ed professionalism OF his big CEN
ter.
Il want to know and the university
wants to know" said Mr.. Yost, about
these charges against Smith. II he
Is professional and has wrestled for
money he will have no chance to take
part i'm athletics at the university. Up
TO date we do not think the case
against Smith has been proven. AS
for Smith being "A crack wrestler that
must be a joke. Why Edmunds can
make sucker out of Smith on the
mat The fact that he has wrestled.
IL he has. doesn't make him pro-
fessional. but il is another matter If
he has taken money for doing so. Now,
! would like to have some proofs in
this connection.
1T is claimed that Smith has some
wrestling medals in his possession.
Well, If such is the case, he certainly
must be an amateur. as professional
wrestlers get something more than
medals"
Mr.. Yost said that the university
has not yet gotten over the revelations
in regard to JOY Miller, who was ex-
PEELED from the university the other
day. He said not even Miller's own
fraternity brothers had the slightest
inkling that the quarter back wasn't a
regular student in the university Yost
secuted the idea that Miller is lost
but thinks he will turn up all right
i'm due time.
