l., Taylor Of Congressional, Middleton
-Beamsn Of Bannoc&hurn and Perry B
Hoover OF Indian Spring, for they are
,slle men chosen TO draft an amateur
rule for the association Their Job Is
4. the toughest Of the two. and their de-
hbsTauos9S are certain to be character
sze6 by lengthy INJURY into the ex-
tTsmely veXink amateur rule.

Soth committee reports are 70 be
submitted TO the executive committee
Of the association and later laid before
8 special meeting OF the entire aSSocia-
ton for ratification by the entire body
under the open covenants openly ar
rived at policy Of Caywood. who be-
heves with Albert e. Steinena, last years
president Of the association, that rule
adopted by the association should be
binding upon every member cluo.
Hard Nut to Crack.
The amateur rule, or one that will be
binding, is an admittedly hard nut TO
crack Even the United States Golf
Association admits that its amateur rule
is somewhat ambiguous and not at all
whst il should be, and the parent body
Is now attempting 10 draw up q new
amateur rule. II should be easier for
the District association TO draw up u
rule with teeth IN il TO cover the local
situation but even at its easiest II is a
Cough assignment The committee. how
ever. is composed Of men who are amply
experienced IN Just that sort Of thing
thoroughly oonyersant with conditions
II and around washington and fully
sppEeciafive of past mistakes. The rule
11ey draw up should be q good one. To
mention the fact that the appointment
OF the amateur. rule committee is one
Of the outcones Of the Voigt case is
only 70 state an obvious fact.
The ether COMMITTEES has an easier
task. but il is assumed that the amateur
rule VIII becon1e one Of the bylaws Of
the association The purpose OF the
second committee is to put teeth in the
constitution and bylaws of the aSso-
clatton SO that every member club must
abide nY the constitution or be dropped.
Only three Of the member clubs OF the
association are not represented on the
committee on constitution revision. Cay
'vood wishes 70 lay both the amateur
Tuie and the revised constitution before
xhs member clubs as soon as possible
50 the constituent clubs may pass upon
the committee findings themselves and
not be bound by q rule Of the ass0ci-
alton without knowing just what the
rule Is and means. To that end he
hopes the committees viii be able TO
make early reports. although fun cog
nizance Is taken Of the difficulties the
amateur rule committee may encounter.

that Wiut0n never had had a golf club

struck a golf ball. is quite an unusual
thing. Particularly. considering also
