After bearing 1t with the Bears for
some time he was recalled to the Nc

Q trife IN at least one phase OF Its
radicalism, there being growing
sentiment among the directors that
the amateur championship event
should have q minimum age limit OF
forty years
This. Of course. would be in the ma
ture of a wartime substitution, as 1t
has been pointed out that tournaments
under present conditions are unfair to
the younger men In service. A sugges-
ton has also been made to divide the
field into classes according to ages, say
40 to so. so to so. so and upward. This
In way calls to mind the annual
seniors gathering at Apawamis.
