LEXINGTON. Va. Dec. 1s.-Frank
II. Gorton. head OF all athletics at
Virginia Military Institute. has hand
ed In his resignation to the athletic
council to take effect at the end OF
the present school year.
Gorton has proven q most reliable
man during his stay as head coach at
Virginia Military Institute. He is at
present spending his third year at
the Virginia Military Institute. and
Ii a progressive man In athletics and
a forward'looking one. He does not
consider a team a success unless IL
has on IL enough Developing material
for a solid foundation for his team
or the following year. He has work cd
with\this In mind and. IL he continues
this until June. he Will have Virginia
Military Institute at the end of his
third year with all branches OF sport
in a happy condition for his success,
sor.
when he came to virginia Military
Institute in the fall OF 1914 he found
athletics at a low ebb. There was no
track team. Last year he developed
a team that won signal honors at the
Pennsylvania state Relay Carnival,
and prospects for q good indoor team
as we'll as one for the path are good
this year. He II also an unusually
strong coach at basketball and has
developed some OF the liveliest foot
ball teams ever seen in action In tho
South.

ing 5000 Balls Yearly.

Those who saw Jerome ID. Trsvers,
then the national amateur champion,
slice two golf balls into the pond
OF the home hole at the Garden City
Golf Club during the 1913 United
states championship may have won
dered how many golf balls are lost
year In that body OF water, which.
though small to the fisherman or
boatman, looms ub like an ocean to
the golfer on the tee.
This question was put TO Walter j..
Travers, of Garden City, the former
national and International champion.
the other day, and he estimated that
fully 5000 balls are played into the
water there each year. His computa.
tipn was based on an average loss OF
twenty balls by each member. The
very day he made his estimate one
member who plays the course well
down in the SOS dropped three into
the pond,
Mr. Travis believes IL would be a
good idea to place a large net In the
bottom OF the pond and every now

balls recovered should more than pay
for the cost OF the haulage. Allow
ing that each OF the balls would aver

would be practically new and others
worn, the balls retrieved would have
a value OF $1,000.

Bill Gates. the siN-foot quarter
