course has been fashioned near the
football camp At Windber, the holes
all being short for iron. shots. The
danger is that the budding players

Several metropolitan golf execu-
tives feel that a great mistake has
been made by the Western Golf As
sociation in authorizing the St
Joseph (Mo.) club to hold an open
tournament with a prize list Of 81.

taken that the left heel in not
raised too much off the ground
because in so doing the player will,
hnd himself throwing too much
weight on the right leg instead oi
