TIGER QUINTET TO. MEET CLEMSON AT AUBURN SATURDAY
Coach HutselI Has Green Squad, But Players Are
 Learning Fast

Auburn, January tSpecial)= Coach Wilbur Hutsell is busy this week tightening up on his basketball machine in preparation for the com ing of the clemson college outfit to the Plainsman campus Saturday night where the quintet representing the South Carolina institution will meet the Tiger cage squad.
 The Auburnites are hard at work after the trip last weekend, in which they encountered two strong teams the first their initial intercollegiate scrap with Mercer in Macon and the second with the strong A. A. C. squad in Atlanta
 The Hutsell squad emerged from both encounters with the smaller score written on the Orange and Blue ledger. but to couhtsi balance this off feature of the gia trip the Plainsman squad returned to the Nil- lage of the Plains with d lot of much needed experience, and the fact that a large number or the Tiger quintet has had hardly a high school eXperi tHtE III tne sdht IOiCtS that will be removed only after they have been seasoned in the real and rugged scrap with strong teams
 Mercer Game
 In the game with Mercer the whole team appeared slightly off form, but Hahn at forward and Captain Harri son at center played an excellent brand of basketball In the X. A. C. contest though playing d faster and more experienced aggregation and with the score of AZ to , indicating, the superior strength of the Clubbers, the Tigers showed flashes of good basketball. Hahn seemed to have re- covered his eye for ringing goals from the field, but was off in shooting goals after penalty. shooting only one in nine attempts.
 Dudley at forward, showed real stuff in running the floor and cover ing on the defense. Rat" Mckinney, who was substituted in the second half, displayed speed and ability at the guard position. and with this sea sons experience should make an eN- ceptionally good floor man.
 The squad appears to be in first class condition and Coach Hutsel is expected to start his regular line-up against the Carolinians Saturda,- night. which win include Dudley an, Hahn at forwards. Captain Harrison at center, and Duke and Thigpen at guards.

Gotham Golf Fanettes
 Organize Club of Own

New York. January 19.-Women golf devotees here have launched the organization of a club and acquired an option on a site for a course on which women only will be permitted to play.
 It has long been the custom on golf courses throughout the country for female golfers to give men players full sway and right of way on Sat urdays. Sundays and. holidays. It was a desire to get away from this re- striction that prompted organization Of a club for women exclusively.
 When woman wants to play golf be 1t Saturday, Sunday or Fourth of July-she wants to play" said one of the organizers. Always in the past we have had to shelve our clubs and take to our knitting so that John Jones and Bill Smith tied down in the office all week, could get in their little game on Sundays and Satur- days. and so on. Now that we're go- Ing to have our own club, we'll let hubby come around for us in the car, put he can play to his hearts con- tent-at his own club"

Everyone of us of tourna- ment experience can name golfer after golfer who bobbed up on the horizon for year or two. then quit and disappeared, but no one could say it of Guilford.
 Guilford's game sometimes is tre- mendous. I don't believe any golfer on earth could have beaten him the day he won his champion ship last year at St. Louis It was as if fortune had vearied of trying his patience with bad luck and disappointment. and had given up in despair of ever wilting his courage. Freed from this bondage of fate. Big Jesse played like a fiend and won the championship that so long was withheld from him.
 l suspect he got much of his put ting ability from Ouimet. with whom ho has played great deal. l know of no one who could beat Guilford when he was expected to beat him. except Jones. For the reasons 1 have cited, I choose Guilford for second place in the big ten. I choose Ouimet for third place, and will tell why in another article.
