At the beginning of the year Column
bia men beinoaned the horrible luck
that forced Koppisch to the sidelines
this winter. but now they are taking
a more cheerful view of the matter
and are inclined to look upon the
breaking of that arm as a providen-
tial act. 1t is true that the Blue and
White team has been minus stellar
months, but Koppisch himself may be
IN better condition for the Olympic
trials as a result of his enforced rest.
AS he ends his career at Columbia his
classmates are glad that he is going
to have the chance to do himself full
justice in one of the greatest tests
of his athletic career.
Went Stale Last Year.
A year ago Koppisch, working with
the same desperate loyalty he has al
ways given Columbia, burned himself
out with too strenuous indoor COM
petition, and when the intercollegiate
meet was held he could not do himself
justice. His rest this winter should
endow him with plenty of power to
stand the rigorous campaign neces-
sary to fitting himself for the Olympic
trials.
Koppisch first flashed into fame as a
runner as a member of the Masten
Park High School relay team of Buff
falo, when that team won the high
school relay championship of the
United States at the Penn relay car
nival in 1920. The following year he
entered Columbia. He registered the
finest performance of his career in
Buffalo when, with real home town
folks watching him and urging him
on to victory, he equaled the world
indoor record for the 440 with a mark
of 4g 3-5 seconds. He is also listed
on Frederick Rubien's an-American
track team for the 6o0-yard run. In
Paris. provided, of course, that he
runs to his best form in the trials, he
should be one of our heavy point
scorers In the 4o0-meter run.

to hole out from the tee on the 1856
yard eighth hole, while young John
ShoIey, one of the Corners in munich
pal golf hereaEouts, did the same
stunt on the fourth hole at East Po-
tomac Park. 1t seems that holes in |

than they used to be. Perhaps it is
because the accuracy of the good

Burning Tree, a club made up al
most wholly of wealthy Washington
men, and devoted almost exclusively
80 golf, has in its golf course several
unique features which have been
tried in but a limited way at other
golf courses. In the first place the
entire fairway on all the holes has
been built up. Instead of taking the
ordinary stand of grass and workin g
1t up to a point of perfection the club
course architect has built up the soil
by successive layers of dressing, Sc
lected loami and top dressing so that
an unusually fertile soil area has
been produced.
The course has been laid out with
the intention of forcing the player to
the next. In other words, a naphaZ-
ard drive off the line will leave a
very difficult shot for the second,
while a drive on the line and In the
right place will open up the hole so
that a much easier shot is left.
: Burning Tree, on the whole, is ex-
pected to be a revelation in golf
courses in this part of the country.
Whitlatch frankly said at It's begin
ming that he hoped to develop a golf
course which would equal the best in
this country.
