he really feels as tho he isn't old
enough to be qualified. This old the
ory that age and a mother-hubbard
entitle a man to golf is disappearing
with the enthusiasm with which the
sport is greeted by the youngsters
and the college athletes.
Frank L. Campbell, chairman of
Rotary golf in Topeka, has chosen, by
qualifying scores, the sixteen men to
represent the local club in matches
with Rotarians from other cities. In
order to keep his Rotary team in tip
top condition Chairman Campbell has
adopted a unique plan of competition
among members of the club for the
honored positions. The team mem
bers are given numbers according to
their standing in qualification. But
they cannot keep their places unless
their game warrants it. Any Rotar-
ian not on the team may challenge
No. 16 for a match. If he wins he
is placed on the team and No. 16 is
off until he can earn back his place.
No. Z, for instance, may challenge No
6 for his position. If he wins No
drops to seventh place No member
will be required to defend his position
more than once a week. Chairman
Campbell has drawn up large num-
ber of rules guiding match play on
the team. The whole plan will keep
the local Rotarian golfers on their
toes and will maintain a good team
for inter-city events.

The women of the Topeka Country
club are enthusiastic over the Selec-
ton of this city as the 1928 tourney
hostess of the state womens' golf as

election of Mrs Kurtz Kellam to the
presidency of the association and the
naming of Mrs. W. D. Updegraff as

is collecting a large amount of ac-

sometimes becomes so burdensome
that it interferes with her game. She

to add until the other day after a rain

steep incline Now Mrs. Parker is I
