HEOs UOCOAUICs LII kyOlSAbAO&ASs
! The rules Of the game provide q
subject far too extensive to 30 into
in detail in short article Of this
kind. However. / want to bring out
certain fundamental points. In the
first place, it should be borne in
mind that the different forms of
competition make necessary differ.
ent codes of rules and that these
varying conditions provoke what
appear to be conflicts. There are,
for instance, single matches. three
ball and four-ball matches, and
medal or stroke competition.
Now the thing to keep in mind
is this. The so-called rules Of golf
were aimed at covering play in a
single match, that ii, 4 match be-
tween two players. And these are
the backbone Of all the rules. IL
4 player be engaged in q single
match. they cover all cases. and all
other special rules are to be disre-
garded. Then, there are certain
special rules for medal or stroke
play. There are sixteen of these,
Special Rules for Stroke Compe-
tition."
They are specially framed for
medal play, and IL there Ii n
conflict on any point between
them and the rules for single
matches, the special rules pre-
vail.
Likewise, there are specials rules
for three ball and four-ball matches,
and again, Ii there is conflict on
any point between these and the
rules for single matches, they pre-.
vail over the latter in all three-ball
and four-balI matches which are so
popular in this country.
A dispute arises and someone
tries to look up the rule.
He finds In the rules for
single matches a provision which
he thinks covers the case. But
he neglects to go further and
see whether there is q special
provision in the four-ball match
rules on the point under debate,
and spirited discussion begins.
I am not going to deny that the
several departments of the rules
are somewhat confusing, because
golf Is played over all kinds Of
ground, and there Is no such thing
as 4 standard golf course. Conse-
quently rules can be framed to
cover all cases only in a general
sort of way, and complications are
bound to arise. But every player
owes it to himself and to those
with whom he plays to at least read
he rules carefully, and get rea-
sonably good understanding Of
them.

Primitive Races Begin
Child Training Late

Modern papas and mammas who
believe they are following the latest
methods in child training when they
encourage juvenile self-expression,
spare the rod and forego Furnishing
their children, are doing exactly
what the primitive peoples Of the
world do, says dispatch to the Bal.
timore Sun.
The untutored, unlettered folk in
various parts of the world, especial
ly in Africa, treat their children
with indulgent affection and make
little attempt to discipline them be-
fore the age of fourteen, according
to W. D. Hambley, author and as
sistant cureator of the department
of anthropology at the Field mu-
scum in Chicago.
"But at the age of fourteen there
is great difference between the
treatment of children among highly
civilized nations and primitive
ones," Mr.. Hambley said. "Among
the latter peoples the children are
isolated from the adults and sub.
jected to severe training and disci.
pline.
"They are instructed in the laws
of their tribe; they are forced to
undergo great physical hardships, to
endure beatings and hunger. Fl,
nally they are introduced into SO
ciety.
"In some respects this is a good
thing, in that it develops communal
responsibility, but it is bad in that
it also develops standardized, stoical
natures and suppresses individu.
atty"

three or four trips to the admins

for another such call.
A freshman called him to the
phone one day with the announce
ment that the president again
wished to speak to him.
"pn fix those guys" he confided
to q freshman, and in taking the
phone he poured forth series of
words that left no doubt as to the
speakers opinion of the person on
the other end of the line. Slam
ming down the receiver he stalked
back to the den.

in front of the house and the presi-
