GOLF MATCHES
WITH ENGLISH

ish Stymie and Modify

PROPOSED MATCHES
WOULD BE POPULAR

A CCORDING to a member Of the
n British recruiting mission who
has been stationed on this side for
the past few months, international
golf matches between the United
States and England. either annually
or every other year. are sure &c be
arranged as soon as the war IS over.
The close friendship that has already
sprung up between the two countries
as a result Of fighting IN a common
cause, side by side. IS sure to be ce-
mented, when peace finally arrives,
and the result viii be highly bene-
fetal to the grand old game"
Team matches between a dozen
Of the best amateurs from the
British Isles and as many from
this country would boom golf,
even as the international tennis
contests and polo matches
aroused interest IN these sports,
1t Is n practical certainty that the
Royal and Ancient Golf club of
ST. Andrews viii bow TO the
wishes OF the majority Of Amer
lean players and abolish the
Etymies and maybe the IOstball
rule.
1T would certainly be the only
thing to do when you chaps have
come to the front as you have" said
the English recruiting officer. a dyed

How could they refuse you a mere
trifle like the elimination Of the
stymie and the modification OF the
lost ball rule when we remember

Stymie Not Fair.

Personally. I was always inclined
to conservatism, and a rule that was
good enough TO last 2 few hundred
years appeared good enough 20 last
a life time. But I am now inclined
10 think that The Americans have the
right view Of the case. a stymie is
not a fair proposition A 1uke on
the green should not cause a man to
lose a hole. For the same reason l
new believe that a lost ball IN match
play should only cost a stroke and
distance, not the hole, as under pres
ent rules. OF course, Americans may
change the rules without waiting for
US. but II we took the initiative Il
would not only simplify matters con-
siderably, but would be a courteous
and generous thing TO do. An inter
national golf match would certainly
be a winner"

They graduated from the Minot High
