commenced to gather and throughout

an excellent attendance.
This is farmers day and many at
came to town to assist in welcoming
the soldiers home. and during the
afternoon they took occasion to at
tend the auto show.
Tonight. the Grand Forks Military
band will give another concert. Di-

banquet, and tonight they will enter
tain the Studebaker dealers.
The show will close tomorrow. 1t

DOUBLES GOLF COURSES
Game Grows Fas In Florida Dur
inq Year.

While the ancient game has made
tremendous strides in this country
during the past years, no State in the
Union has had such a remarkable
constructive campaign completed
within a single year as Florida. More
than a half million dollars have been
expended in doubling the number of
golf courses.
In 1915 twenty-one courses were
available within the border OF the
Land OF Flowers. The opening OF the
new year will see more than two
score, nearly half of which are con-
trolled by clubs of various cities and
at which the member of any golf club
in the country is welcome.
Many OF the courses in that State
are several miles from the city. In
Tampa, Jacksonville. Miami, and
others there are excellent opportuni-
ties for the golfer within easy walk
ing distance of the trolleys or auto
bus lines. Those courses which have
stepped away from civilization, are
reached over excellent, hard roads on
which the State has been expanding
more than $13.OOO.0O0 within, the last
two years.
Florida has fully awakened to the
value of golf courses, and once the de-
termination to improve this eminent
winter playground was decided upon
IL went to the task with a will that
has wrought the most marvellous I'M
provement that has taken place in
any State in the country.

DON'T LIKE SYSTEM
Penn State Would Alter Present
Methods In Gridiroh Game.

STATE COLLEGE, Jan. Although
Penn State men are dissatisfied with
the football showing made by the Blue
and White team in the season recently
closed. there is no general disposition
to criticize the coaching system or to
blame Dick Harlow and his associates
to any great extent.
The coaching system will not be
changed, but various alumni have ex-
pressed the hope that in the future
more attention will be given to modern
football plays and that State will aban-.
don the policy of sticking to conserva-
tive, old-fashioned rushing.
These alumni and undergraduates,
numbering hundreds. hold that in all its
games, and particularly the Penn game,
State used far too few plays, and that
it failed to take advantage OF the
possibilities of the forward pass.
They hope that another year will see
more varied assortment Of plays and
a more complex offense; likewise they
hope that recitation schedules will be so
arranged that the team will get suffi-
cient time for practice.
The task Of making the schedule is
progressing rapidly. State is not to
play Penn next year. as was intimated
Immediately after the Penn game,
Dartmouth taking the place Of Penn.
The game will be played at Hanover.

WALSH IS THROUGH
Big Ed Given Unconditional Re-
lease by White Sox.

CHICAGO. Jan. big Ed Walsh.
many years iron man and hero or
the mound for the White Sox. passes
at last from the big show. Realizing
that his power to- deceive batsmen
has left him. the big pitcher accepted
his recent release without comment.
Charleys Comiskey, owner OF the
White Sox and long time friend of
Walsh, probably will take steps to see
that the latter is properly taken care
Of in the way of job. He is looking
for a managerial berth for Walsh
with some minor league club. Failing
in this it is rumored that magnate ip-
tends to set his old standby up in
some business. possibly at Meriden.
Mass, Walsh's old home town.
Walsh probably will accompany the
SoS on the spring training trip, but
only in an advisory capacity.

1t is possible that Mike Doolan may
be seen in a Brooklyn uniform next
year. The veteran infielder has been In
communication with Wilbert Robinson

more Boxer, But Substi-
tute Is There,

here that little need be said, save
that he Is in excellent fettle ana
ready to carry his opponent along at
top speed to the very end Of the bat
tie. Lowe is a most conscientious
trainer, andI today he hopes to win
largely through his good physical
condition.
Cortez has been winding up his
work in the Capital for several days,
and all who saw him were amazed
at his speed. Cortez does not lack
cleverness, but he depends more upon
a rushing, slambang style of milling
to bring him the victory.
They've Met Before.
Lowe and Cortez have battled fire.
quently before, three times at Ard
more. Each battle has been a hot
one from the start and on one Or
two occasions the fans disagreed with
the referee when the little fellow

ness to take a waIlop to land one has
always made friends for him.
