MUSCATINE AFTER

Event This Year Goes to Cedar Rap
ids, but Muscatine Wants Il
in Year Following.

MUSCATINE, Ia, March 3.-Musca-
tine for the state golf tournamnant at
present has rather small chance for
1916 With the opening of the wealth
err and the golf season, talk of getting
the tournament, again started at the
Country club. 1t is quite possible that
the meet may be awarded to this city
in 1917, however.
Last year a committee was sent to
Ottumwa to make a bid for the tour
nament in 1916, expecting the 1915
tournament to be given to some city
in the western part Of the state. 1t
was awarded to Cedar Rapids and
from the present outlook some west
ern city will get it in 1916.
A committee will be sent to the
meet in July at Cedar Rapids with
the intention of landing the tourna-
ment for Muscatine next year If pos
sible and III not, to pave the way for
it to come here in 1917. Des Moines
is also expected to make strong bid,
as it is centrally located and has two
links on which play can be carried on
at the same time.
Play at the Country club probably
will be carried on in the same man
ner as last year. Two teams will be
selected and matches held each week.
The losing side banquets the winning
side at the end of the season. This
has been the plan used in the past
and has been found entirely satisrac-
tory.
Discussion has also been started in
regard to obtaining professional in
structor for the club, but this is also
doubtful. There are but about fifty
continuously active golf players in the
club and it is generally considered it
would be too expensive to hire man
for so small number

YOST FINDS WHY MANY
COLLEGES MAKE RECORDS

Ann Arbor. Mich, Dec. S0.-Just why
the small college football teams are
making names for themselves in so
many instances has engaged the at
tentiOn of Fielding H. YOst Michigan's
veteran football coach He gives some
Of the reasons as follows:
J. In small colleges the one year
residence rule and the three year play
ing limit are not usually enforced
.. Entrance requirements of small
colleges are not usually as high as
those OF larger colleges
,. Many good football players in
small colleges need to work their way
and in a small college there is apt 10
be less social disadvantages for such
work.
4. The ambitious. aggressive foot
ball player just out OF high school is
attracted to the small college because
here he stands a chance of making the
Varsity Immediately and playing four
years.
5. Small colleges are spared the
limelight of eligibility that floods the
large university teams.
