IL may be interesting 20 note the pro-

dous, the only adjective which seems TO
fit. That golf still has great and grave
problems was evident after the open
and frank discussion and that the only
relief. or, rather, the best. was in hearty
cooperation club with club.
We shall endeavor to outline two or
three Of tho dozen or more ideas which
were taken UP In serious outline by the
delegates. said Mr.. Whitney in a por-
