w. G. & C. C. COURSE
is MUCH IMPROVED

Members Of the Washington Golf
and Country Club who have not seen
their course since they put away
their clubs before Christmas will
have an agreeable surprise when they
first play over it this spring. The
course has been put through a thor
ough grooming during the winter.
During the past three months sew
eral new tees have been built, steps
constructed down steep ascents and the
entire link helped materially. New
tees have been constructed for the
ninth, tenth and eleventh holes, two
of which are one-sbotters. The new
grass tee at the eleventh should meet
with approval, as the hole is one of
mashie distance. Under conditions in
the past it was very difficult 20 play

packed clay tee. This has been en-
tirely changed by the construction of

The new grass tee at the tenth is
sixty yards in front of the perma-
nent tee and will be used in wet
weather.
Wooden steps have been built on
the bank going to the ninth green
and also going to the twelfth tee
The new putting greens. which
were torn up early last fall and re-
on all the courses about Washing

CHAMONIX WINTER GAMES
COST IL TIMES RECEIPTS
BY .the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
The winter sports competitions held
recently at Chamonix as part OF the
olympic games proved success in
every respect with the exception Of
the financial returns. An outlay Of
100000 francs brought in gate
receipts of only 100000 francs. The
excessive number of free tickets was
responsible for this. as the attend
ance was never below 1000 a day.
Notwithstanding the financial loss
there was no disappointment because
the Olympic authorities expected it..
OF the fund for the winter games the
city of Chamonix subscribed 1000 900
francs. the French government half a
million. and the Department of the
uaute Savoie similar amount.
The loss is partly offset by the fact
that the take-of and slides for ski
jumping, the bob sleigh chute and the
stands and dressing rooms ut the
skating rink are ali permanent and
in the future are expected to increase
the prestige of Chamonix is a winter
resort.

RECORD DUE TO FALL
IN TWO-MILE RELAY

Last reports from Cambridge and the
wonderful running Of the American col
lege two-mile relay teams give every
promise that the great international
two-mile college relay championship
race, the feature event this year Of
Pennsylvania classic relay carnival on
April 25 and &c, will be a record break
ing event
The two-mlie relay was the big fea-
ture of the recent intercollegiate in
door championships in New York.
Georgetown and Boston College had a
desperate race. with the former winning
in minutes, Sc 40 seconds, only q little
above the world record held by the
Pennsylvania team Of 1922. George
town made this time in spite Of the
fact that her second runner droppd his
baton and had to go back and pick 1t
up. Had this not happened, it is more
than likely that the Georgetown team
I, would have made d new record.
The running of the Boston College
team was also noteworthy-becaus
! Cavanaugh, their best runner, had raced
gruelling mile only one hour prior TO
the relay. The fact remains that
these two teams are strictly first class,
and both are quite likely TO make a
new record at the relay carnival.
In the middle west Michigan has also
been showing exceptional form. In Mat
tendorf and Reinke they have two half
nlilers that have both beaten 1856 for
the distance Another man, Freiberg, is
said 20 be but little slower. Michigan
