able TO put on it at the Chicago Golf
club. At that period my game was
just ready for the test of this splen-

game which has its outstanding fea-
ture the shot up TO the hole.
To my way of thinking. II is well
to learn to hit the ball on course
that is comparatively bunk erless,
since few beginning golfers can
stand the disbursement OF nu-
merous bunkers. At the start al
most every shot is bad and really
deserving OF punishment on the
other hand. one can only learn the
| fine shots OF the game on course
that rewards good shots and pun
ishes bad ones. Poor courses fire.
Quenly reverse this, and il is not

The J. NJ. Guffey was built by the New

1902. During the war she was in for
eign waters supplying vessels of the
British Admiralty with oil. She was
on her way back to the United States
To engage in coastwise trade. Although
Port Arthur, Tex, is her home port, she
often came into the port of Philadel-

The ]. NJ Guffey has a gross tonna ge
of $500 and net tonnage of 1893. She
is 292 feet in length, has a forty-foot
beam and a depth of 23,5. When the

Mr. Noyes from coming. The club has.
tily mobiliZed Lieutenant Robert Mich
OILS, young English poet, recently re-
leased from the British army, to fill the
gap, and Lieutenant Nichols romped
away with the meeting.
There was disappointment at the de-
fection of Miss Lowell, whose fame has
spread widely. Lieutenant Nichols
however. showed no signs of chagrin at
her absence. In fact. he showed all the
evidences of having the time of his life

he came over to this country to tell us
about the young Elzabethans across

of the Muse. But before the war; Mr.
Nichols, then freshman at oxford
was writing the customary fal-lal OF

with Pan, centaurs, dryads, nymphs and
