A1voz0 Golf Nezg Game at
Nezg Hampshire College
Played With Bow and Ar
rows and Is Very Pop
ular = Winter and
Summer Sport

DURHAM, " H.. May 26.-Arrow
golf. a new game is the sport of the day
at New Hampshire college. 1t is played
with bow and arrow instead of club and
ball, and targets of straw sacks are used
to mark what in golf would be holes. The
faculty has taken to it in body and
play daily over a nine target course.
Undergraduates also have adopted the
game.
Over the hills and through woodlots in
the vicinity of the college the arrows are
sped without need to consider ground con
ditions that would be hazards in real
golf. Yet the game has qualities that
make it highly competitive, with factors
of strength and skin involved to a degree
that maintains interest.
Invention of Professor 0'Kane.
Arrow golf was invented in Durham by
Professor w. &. O'kane and has been
developed by him and a group of other
faculty members into the game which can
be enjoyed on any farm or in the vacant
lot of suburbs.
The course at Durham has nine holes. =
or targets. These consist of sacks stuffed
with straw, placed on poles, the bottom of
the sack being five or six inches above
the ground. The distances between the
targets are from 200 to 600 yards The
average player can make a drive of 200
yards easily. The game, as in golf re
quires that the circuit be made in the
least number of strokes" Some of the
targets of the present course are possible
one-shot plays. as there are possible one
holes in golf. though the probability that
they will be achieved in one shot is remote.
Requires Little Equipment.
The arrow golf player requires little
equipment. Most of the players carry
one bow, two or three arrows in a home
made culver, and guard for the left
wrist necessary because the string strikes
down on the wrist with great force. The
player also wears a glove on the hand
with which he pulls the bowstring. or at
least three fingers of a glove, to cover the
finger tips used.
Arrow golf has one great advantage
over ordinary golf besides the ease with
which course may be arranged. 1t can
be played in winter as we'll as in summer
and has been played here over deep snow
drifts on snOwShoes in the face of bliz-
yards. The arrows stand up in the drifts
distinctly and even when they disappear
in the depths usually leave a perforation
in the snow which is easily perceived.

CLAIRE WINDSOR

TLAIRE WINDSOR Is leading
~ woman in an all-star cast playing
"Grand Larceny" directed by Wallace
Worsley. l met her yesterday and
talked for little while between her
scenes. She is very, very beautiful
the sort of girl, minus the make up,
that you meet at country club dances.
She is loaned by Lois Weber to Gold
wyn for this picture. She tells me
that Mrs. Weber is sailing for Europe,
ostensibly to rest and tour, but prob
ably to make pictures in France and
Italy for n foreign producer.
Mr.. Worsley, the director, Is also
non movie looking. He might be the
man who sells you your new car, or
possibly who promotes new real estate
divisions. 1 have often said that the
organization reflects the head, and here
is another case in point. They were
held up for a time by the usual failure
of the lights to light. But instead of
storming around, believing like a
blooming buffalo, Mr.. Worsley sat
talking quietly to first one member of
the cast and then another.

couldn't seem to get much out of him.
He just naturally didn't want to talk.
Elliott Dexter plays the lead, and n
nice man he is. He is quiet, obliging
and easy in his work, responding to
direction instantly. He must have a
very charming disposition naturally.
The sets for "Grand Larceny" to
my mind, equal anything used in @. L..

name of the designer-Cedric Gibbons.

me that morning, and knew that they
probably thought me awfully up stage
since ! was star.
My leading man was the incest thing
in the world, and I'd played with him
twice at Fine Arts, and thought every
thing Of him and his wife. The wife
was seriously i'll and, try as he would, I,
he could not keep his mind on his work.
That meant that we rehearsed one scene
exactly eight times-it was long scene,
too-and took 1t three. And in 1t I had
to swing suddenly around from win

fall to the floor in faint. Just about

My luncheon was vile concoction,

self that the next time I had to lunch
in the studio I'd install an electric
grill in my dressing room and make
milk toast.
Then my argument with st. Clair.
Then DerIy's arrival, just as we fin
ished it-Derry, fresh from luncheon at
the Friars' Club, wearing q stunning

And then, just as l was beginning to
feel that my very soul must be scared

of course this charming girl who was

younger, must come sauntering into the
studio and be introduced to us and

"Why shouldn't Derry like her?" I
asked myself. ''She's right straight
