He has secured an area of land on Jordan Lane just across from the 18th tee at Goodwin park, which measures 2J acres with width Of GOO feet.
 The college has been designed and planned by Mir. Soccol only after three years Of intensive study of courses in various parts of the coun- try. During the past winter, he has spent considerable time in Florida looking over the leading courses there and he has taken most Of the good points from these and adapted them to his place in Wcthersficld.
 The college will be a place solely for practice. It will serve for begin ners to learn the game; for players still in the dub class 10 practice an ] improve their game and for those who hit fairly good marx to per feet their stfokes. The college will be so constructed as 10 accommo- date those who wish 10 practice or study any department of the game.
 A competent instructor who is a recognized teacher of the game will be present at 2 later date 10 take care of bhosc who will make use of the place.
 The college has been equipped tees. fairways, greens, traps and bunkers, in fact everything that cal he found on golf course. A dozen clay tees have been installed for be- ginners. From these. it will be pos slble to drive as hard and as far ( 5 one possibly can. There are also grass tees for the low handicap men who will wish 10 perfect slice or q hook. while wooden tees with mats on them will be for the use Of those who wish to practice with irons
 The fairways have been prepared W llii oo iiANNll idl v cS al t bIlOCV oii 2 we'll regulated course. The grass IS closely clipped while the rough gives conditions just IS they will be found on a course. Lines of pine trees border each side Of the fair ways giving natural division 10 each lane.
 Two large greens covered with natural velvet bent grass have been built under the supervision of one or the best known greenskeepers in the state. These are well groome1 and cared for and will serve excel lently for the keenest butter or the yeriest dub. Fertilizer of the most expensive kind has been used to pat the greens in the finest possible condition.
 Between the road and the tees. IS a wide plot of ground where Mr. Soccoli plans 10 install a chipping and putting section. This will later b" illuminated for night play and tournaments will be conducted n the future. It IS planned also later

 Bobby Jones, American golt champion is giving his packers in Atlanta, Ga, great run for their money. Some freak bets were made on Bobby by his friends that he would win the Walker Cup match, the British champion which opens on May 26 and then the United States amateur championship again.
 AS a golfer. Bobby has no equal. He appears to get better and better rather than to deteriorate in any way. Bobby is the greatest golfer Of all times and his work against his competitors brands him as such. We don't believe that anyone would question this statement.
