THE LONG DRIVE

One Of the prettiest plays in tbs
game Of golf Is the drive and there
is a chance to play with the wooden
club at least fourteen times on
each average eighteen holes. II
can easily be seen, therefore, thai
driving well is a very important
part of the game. and in my esti
nation 1t is the easiest part.
In one sense Il is strange
what passion golfers have for
long driving. We are all very
proud Of any achievement along
that line and know how

SPORTS CENTER.
IS PLANNED

Old grads and undergraduates of
West Virginia University are point-
ing with pride these days to the
fact that the Morgantown institu-
ton Is soon to have one of the
largest and best equipped track
and field houses in the country.
Demands for an up-to.date build
ing to house indoor games became
SO insistent recently at West Vir-
glnia that a large appropriation
was made and work on the new
structure will begin early next
month.
Davis. Dunlap and Barney,
architects of Philadelphia, drew
the plans for the building,
which Is to be ready for use
January /, 1923.
The new West Virginia sports
center viii have a total floor space
OF about $4,000 square feet and
the playing field proper, with no
coiumnar distractions, will meas.
ure 267 by SO feet.
The building will have a frontage
or SS2 feet on Beechhurst Avenue.
