GOLF CLUBS URGED
TO SEND DELEGATES
TO ANNUAL MEETING
Secretary Whitney of Ma
tionaI Association Urges
Every Club in Country
to Be Represented

New York December 12.-Every active
club in the United States Golf associa-
ton is urged to send delegate to the
annual meeting of the association here
January 70. in a letter sent out by How
ard F. Whitney, secretary of the asso-
citation. Mr.. Whitney instructs the clubs
that matters of vital Importance need
careful consideration, and that it Is es-
sential to the sport that every club is
represented, so that the question over
the present amateur rule may be threshed
out to a final and definite conclusion.
so much has been printed on this
subject in the newspapers and golfing
press that is unfair, and wholly without
foundation" the letter reads, land so
much has appeared in other literature
that has reached the clubs in the asso-
citation that was untrue, inaccurate and
disingenuous, that a thorough under
standing of the whole matter cannot be
had except by attendance at the meet
ing, and consideration of the entire dis
cEssion there to be presented"
Besides the amateur question, the dele
gates will be asked to vote upon the
courses which have been suggested fof
the three annual tournaments. Five
clubs, all in the west, are in line for the
national amateur event. These are the
Flossmoor Country club, Flossmoor, ILL.,;
Glenview club, Golf, Ill; Kent Country
club, Grand Rapids, Mich, and the Oak
mont Country club, Hutton, Allegheny.
county, Pa.
In the open tournament the delegates
will be asked to select from the follow
ing five courses: Braeburn Country club,
West Newton. Mass; Fox Hills Golf club,
Stapleton, N Y; Shawnee Country club,
Shawnee -on-the-Delaware Pa; Shene-
cossett Country club New London, Conn,
and White Marsh Country club, Chest
nut HILL Pa.
The Professional Golfers association
have already named White Marsh and
Braeburn and Shawnee as desirable
courses and the addition of two clubs
by the association has given rise to the
belief that the association wants to hold
the open event over the Fox Hills course
on Staten Island The three courses Sc
lected by the women's committee are the
only ones offered for the womens cham
pionship. They are Cherry Valley club,
Garden City n. Y; Shawnee and Shene-
cossett clubs

CuduSC LII AuDlIu > SCu6ulllc.
Football followers will remember
that it was only with considerable eff
fort that Vanderbilt was induced to
meet Auburn in Birmingham. Van
derbilt continuously insisted that the
game should be played on the Com
modores' campus. The football public
demanded that Vanderbilt meet Au-
burn on some neutral field and Van
derbilt alumni in the Birmingham ter
ritory insisted that the game be played
in Birmingham. This led to the
scheduling of the Auburn andy game
in Birmingham in November, 1912.
The closeness of the game. the enthu-
siasm with which Vandy and Auburn
alumni worked to make the game a sue
cess, and the enormous crowd which at
tended satisfied Vanderbilt authorities
that Birmingham was the logical place
for the game, and an understanding was
reached whereby Auburn should each
year meet Vanderbilt in Birmingham on
the Saturday nearest the middle of No.
vember.
INTEREST INCREASED
The game grew in interest and enthu-
siasm because of the closeness of the
games; the paid attendance ranged from
$e500 to $4,000, despite the fact that games
were played in the rain and the date was
regarded as the day of the football clas-
sic of the SOUTH The result in attend
ance and interest was gratifying to Ar-
burn and Vanderbilt alumni and athletic
authorities.

due the people of Birmingham as much.
Auburn explained that they were abso-
lutely due this November game to her
supporters, as it is the only November
game played by Auburn in Alabama (both
the Tech and Georgia games being played

supported the game SO enthusiastically.
It was shown that under the circum-
stances Auburn could not consider leav-
ing Birmingham on November II, 1911.
to meet any team.
AS Auburn could not meet this eleventh
hour proposal the game fell through and
an effort was at once begun to get the
strongest possible team for the date in
Birmingham. Auburn was most fortu-
nate in securing the University of Ten
nessee team for the Birmingham date,
November II.
TENNESSEE STRONG
Tennessee has been one of the lead
ing teams of the south in the last few
years, going through both the seasons
of 1914 and 1916 without suffering a de-
feat. 1t is thought that 1t will satisfy
the demand of the sporting public of
Birmingham that Auburn meet tho
strongest possible southern competitor in
that city on the November date.
