(, Gazing over the links of the
Country club of Virginia at Rich
mond, from a point of vantage on
the veranda of the beautiful brick
and stone club house, the other day,
a thought came that whether de-
signedly or otherwise, golf course
architecture in this country has be-
come a definite art In other words,
your modern links is something
more than a stretch of ground in
volving bunkers, pits and other
hazards, natural or artificial, de-
signed to make old Colonel Bogie
a diff cult person to emulate.
On the contrary, it would appear
that the applied design of our
American links has included a Wis
ion of beauty and of charm as we'll
as an intention to serve the ends
of sport AS said, the writer was
most signally struck with an i'm
preston of this sort at Richmond
Just as some time previously the
alluring landscape effects embod-
led in the Druid Hills course at At
lanta, gave the suggestion that the
day had gone when builders of golf
links merely raised a lot of bunk
ers, dug some bitches, cut some
trees, plowed some ground, sowed
job completed.
What will be the ultimate effect
of all the serene beauty that has
begun to characterize our golf

AUCIE TO SEND
RELAY TEAM TO
DRAKE CLASSIC
This Week Is Busy One in Ath-
letfc Circle of Lutheran
Institution.
BY Kenneth CONREY.

This week will be busy one in
athletic circles at Apgustana col
lege. Thursday afternoon the
Lutheran baseball nine will open
the season at Peoria with Bradley
Tech furnishing the opposition,
and Friday they will meet the Eu-
reka aggregation there. Angus
tana will also have the distinction
of sending a relay team to the
Drake relays which will be held at
Des Moines next Friday and Satur-
day.
This years western Olympic will
draw record delegations of blue
ribbon winners from all parts of
the country, according to the final
entries received by j. L. Wilson,
director of athletics at Drake. More
than one thousand registrations
have already been received, and
the total number will come close to
fifteen hundred. These athletes are
the pick of mere than one hundred
of the leading colleges in the coun-
try, and to send a delegation to the
meet holds quite a distinction for
the individual schools.
Augustana is entered in one
event, the half-mile relay. Com
petition has been exceptionally
keen this year at the Lutheran
school, and Swedberg, director of
athletics, has been on the fence in
picking the men to represent the
school. However, in Captain Lii
jedahl, barrow, Dwyer and Ingle-
son, he believes that he has the
best at Augie, and at the same time
an exceptionally good relay team.
Although Augie does not hope to
cop the event in which its relay
team is entered, the list of entries
being so great, it can be said that
the Swedes should make a credi-
table showing The track repre-
sentatives will leave for Des Moines
tomorrow.
Runners of Fame.
Many runners of fame will be
present at the Drake relays. JOie
Ray, member OF the Illinois athletic
club will run a special mile event
against Watson of Kansas Aggie.
Among the contestants in the CEN
fury will be Paulu from GrinnelI.
Gus Desch will compete in the 440
yard low hurdles. Desch, the Notre
Dame speed marvel, was member
of the United States representation
in the Olympic games last year.
Practically every school of the
Big Ten will send Representatives
Center of Danville, KY, Occidental
college of Los Angeles, University
of Chicago. Hamline university of
ST. Paul, and Vanderbilt of Nash
vile, Tenn, are some of the out
side entries. Minnesota will be
represented by 25 runners, Iowa
with 35 and Illinois 20. Illinois is
doped to win the mile and four
mile relays.
The Augustana baseball team
will leave Rock Island tomorrow
morning for Peoria, where Swed-
berg's proteges meet Coach Rob

courses throughout the country
upon the golfing breed? viii there
be future generations keenly alive
to grouping of tree and bush, to
green hills shouldering against the
blue, to water courses adapted to
ends of beauty? In word, will
the sport of golf, in addition to
producing experts, add thousands
so, 'twere very well indeed.
But no doubt your ardent golfer
will growl over this and affirm that
anything that causes one to take
his eye from the ball, his mind
from the game, his sensibilities
from his score card, is downright
bad medicine.
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory is going
abroad May 16 with the single
minded purpose of proving her SUI
periority over Mile. Lenglen. Every
American will hope that our gifted
tennis champion will succeed in
her quest. But let it not be for
gotten that Susanna is an extraor-
binary tennis player. Her display
in this country last year should by
no means be regarded as giving a
line upon her true form Bill Til
den says, however, that Molla can
beat the Frenchwoman the best day
she ever saw If so, it will be rath-
er on the basis of endurance, rug
ged play, than finesse and the COM
mand of a great variety of strokes.

Promoters of the show have made
haste to replace the welters with

to terms but he is expected. to fall

EXERCISE is
REAL ROAD TO
HEALTH: CAMP
lis Natural, Logical
and Beneficial
Method.
BY WAITER CAN'T.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
In my mornings mail today /
have selected three letters from a
daily grist of a hundred or so as in
teresting subjects for discussion.
The first came from the wife OF a
bank president who states that six
months ago she was in a sanitar-
ium afraid to take two steps up
stairs.
As it happened she had opened n
magazine in which appeared an ar
ticle recommending a set of home
exercises. She received permission
from her physician to try them and
within three weeks she had no fur
Their use for medicine. Within six
weeks she was quite well. She con-
tinues her exercise and enjoys per-
feet health.
The second letter tells of a sim
liar result in q man who wrote that
for the first time in Is years he has
been able to throw aside laxatives,
pcpsin tablets and the like upon
which he had been absolutely de-
pendent
The third comes from a promin-
ent editorial writer, who tells of
the president of a grain house who
through morning indulgence in the
daily dozen exercises within the
year lost Is pounds of unnecessary
fat, says he is hard as nails and
boasts he can do so per cent more
work than he used to do.
Are these miracles? No. They
are merely the natural, logical and
beneficial effect of employing your
body IN the cause of health. Mus
cles. hardened sinews, tauted or
gans stirred out of torpidity-
which are more natural than the
health should result.
The iconoclast has now snatched
away another of our cherished
loves. This is to say that a prom
inent osteopath at the Atlantic City
convention caused a sensation when
he affirmed most emphatically that
the famed Venus de Milo was a
neurasthenic, chiefly because she
has a misplaced stomach.

New York, April 26.-When will
Leonard and Tender be matched
for the lightweight title? A close
follower of ringside activities, who
has been involved in more than one
match, asked himself this question
today, and then proceeded to an
swer it. They will be matched, he
said, in time to appear before d
highly excited and unwontedly
thrilled public in an open air arena
early this summer.
When rival battle fleets get ready
to scrap they throw up a smoke
screen to conceal their detectives.
When rival fighters are seriously
entertaining the idea of mixing up
they also throw a smoke screen not
so much to conceal their detectives
as to get the public all smoked up.
Then when the alarm has been
turned in and the engines are all
out, bells changing, sirens blowing
and the like, the articles are signed
and the fight is on.
VIII Fight, Of Course.

fall. Then the big batteries and
