Tee, airway
and Green

BY CHICK EVANS

MAKING EXTRA TEES
Now that the time of year has ar
rived when changes throughout the
golf course are likely to be dis
eussed or carried OUTFIT might be OPP
perfume to suggest the advantage of
having several tees for each hole.
There has developed something of
tendency to construct extra large
tees on the modern golf course, with
the tee ground shaped to be narrow
and very long, with the length US
ually running toward the green. This
design is used because only in excep-
tional cases would there be suf-
ficient room fer the long tee to run
across the line of play.
Some of these long tees are so very
long chat they combine two, and
often three different tees all in one.
The womens tee thus would be at the
forward end Ct the tee ground as a
whole, while the regular tee would be
in the center of the full distance tee
would be at the extreme back end
of the ground.
Having all this ground for tee
gives opportunity to shift the mark
ers frequently and thus keep the tees
in good condition. But a better plan,
j think, is tC have two or three tees
for each hole, of regulation size. but
not Joined together One tee might
be in the center of the direct line to
the hole while others could be for
ward, or to the right or left, CT both.
This gives the greenskeeper plenty of
opportunity to preserve the tees by
closing off altogether for a rest and
thus resting all of them at regular
intervals.
This arrangement makes the course
shot in this arrangement can give the
player his choice CT difficult or easy
shot from the tee. 1t is ideal in that
way because those who prefer the
difficult shot may have it without the
condition being forced upon those
who may like the shot to be easier.
l observe how nicely this can be
brought about through this kind of a
tee arrangement at a club where l
have played good deal. On one of
the short holes the player could, from
the regular tee, drop 200-yard
drive directly in front of the green:
and the ball would roll on. He could
be 20 to possibly so yards short of
the green and still get on-a fairly
easy tee shot.
But row from another tee Just
built for this hole! It is well to the
left of the first tee, and the whole
shot changes because of this slight
shift en- the tee. The tee shot from
this second position must carry to
the green or the ball falls into a
trap. Quite difference!
1t is not very costly for the club
to construct extra tees in this way
The material can be taken from
places on the ground where the ex-
cavation makes no difference, or per-
haps the excavation might improve
one place on the course while the dirt
could be used for additional tees
thus improving two places at one
time.
With extra tees ingeniously placed
it is possible to have three goli
courses on one 1S-hole link-a rather
easy course and two others more
difficult.

PRINCETON. y. j., April 13.-The
most important change in the cur

system was voted at the annual
spring session of the board of trus-

board, on recommendation of the
faculty, approved plan whereby
hereafter emphasis will be laid upon
the importance of concentration in
the field of study and in the develop
ment of the principle of self-educa-
ton by the students themselves.
To accomplish this result it is pro-
posed that instead of five courses
now required of each undergraduate
required of which two shall be in the
same department, and shall be con,
sidered major courses. and two snail

will consist of important reading or
laboratory work not otherwise treat
ed in the field of major study.

LIKELY TO REJECT
1O-CENT FARE RATE
Predicted Board Will Refuse Plea
Made by Rapid Transit
Company.

The Public Utilities Commission, it
was predicted today, will decline to
approve the application of the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company for
an increase in the fare on it's bus
lines from to 10 cents. The COM
mission is now making detailed
study of the data submitted at the
public hearing on the bus rates yes
terday. and is expected to announce
it's decision early next week.
A slight increase may, be granted
the company. it was intimated, by
permitting it to sell six tickets for
so cents, making one-third of cent
raise on the bus fare. In this event
the cash fare probably would be set
att 3 cents.
