The point has been raised ,ha, the
: rule as drafted the last tim. was NOT
aimed directly at Francis Ouime,. II
| 1t was not the case OF the Woodland
Golf Club in fghting for their champion,
/ Mr. Ouimet. would not have the weight
! IL carries when the word discrimination
, Is used. That Is one topic which will
! be discussed by the Woodland delegates
when the annual meeting is on. The
other will have TO do with the unfair
ness OF the rule itself in regard TO deny
ing man right to earn a living fairly
and still remain an amateur when bene-
hted by his success In amateur tourna-
ments. and the colollary that II Is legis-
Iation against human nature when rules
