SHORTEN NOBLE COURSE
By PETER PUTTER

D1NEHURST, the mecca of southern
l. golfers during the winter months
will have six courses within the next
two years. At present there are three
eighteen hole courses in operation and
the first nine OF the fourth courses was
thrown open for play last fall. Donald
Ross has all the plans ready and work
will begin this spring in clearing away
the trees. As there are several thousand
acres OF ground available. there is no
scarcity OF room. The problem of traps
and bunkers Is not a hard one, as all that
is necessary to do is to dig.
The south is just winding UP the most
wonderful year in it's history and there
Is no doubt that as winter resort, golf
has done more to develop that section
than any other sport. With traffic to the
continent closed for some years to pleas
ure seekers, the south has been the bene-
ficiary and the hotel men down there
have made an appeal to the golfers by
offering some very excellent courses.
Makes Advance
But Pinehurst, which was the first
to see the drawing attraction OF golf
TO get the men south, has gone farther
than any other section of that coun-
try. and this in spite of the fact that
every now and then winter hits the re-
sort hard and ties up the courses for
days and at rare periods for a week
at time.
I So many persons have gone there
that many have been obliged to sleep in
the halls, barns and in all sorts OF
places. Five or six years ago the mini
mum cost for two in a room with board
was as low as $3.50 u person. Now II

III EVENTS IN PENN MEET
By TED MEREDITH

n NUMBER of countries have been
"A named as possible hosts for ath-
Ietes at the 1920 Olympics. America.
England. Sweden, France and Italy all
were anxious to stage the classics, but,
according to the latest dope. the inter-
national track games will go to Ant
werp 1t will be the first time Belgium
has done the entertaining.
Tho last Olympics were held At Stock
3 holm in 1912. The championships for
1916 were supposed to be decided in
Germany, and the stadium had been
erected for the games, but everything
went flooie when the war came. The
inter-Allied meet in France will be the
nearest approach to the Olympic games
In seven years.
Since 1895 Paris. st. Louis, London
and Stockholm each staged the games
once, and twice they we're held at
Athens II the games do go to Ant
werp, ! am sure the meet will be a
success from every angle. The Belgians
are hospitable folks and will make the
visiting athletes feel as If they were
competing in their own backyard.
Cornell Makes Bid
Speaking of awarding championships,
Il understand Cornell Ia preparing to
OF 1920. Two years ago the 1thacans
made an appeal for the carnival on that
occasion OF it's spring day celebration
but the blight OF war stopped all plans.
Cornell Is still hoping for the games
on the new Schoelkopf Field, but unless
the I. c. A. A. A. A. sees fit to change
its mind, the classic for 1920 will be held
on Franklin Field. 1t has been the
custom to Alternate between Pennsyl-
vania and Harvard and as the Crimson
has the meet this year, 1t Is expected
that Penn will receive the award next
season Right now Penn managers are
busy planning for the three meets which
will be held this month. The first will
be the varsity meet on April IL, the
second the interfraternty championship
on April is and the third the relays on
April 25 and 26.

In the varsity meet there will be ten

bed was opposite mine. saying. 1
