The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-05-03

CTUDENTS at Manual, Technical,
- Shortridge Washington and
Cathedral high schools were jubilant
today as news was received from the
city park board offices that per-
mission would be granted the school
golf teams for use of the municipal
links free from now on. It was
q great piece of news. 1t struck
just at the time when everything
pointed to a complete adjustment
of the links sport at each school,
because athletic department funds
were insufficient to carry the sport.
Too much credit cannot be given the
park board composed of AdOlph Emhardt.
Jacket Joseph, Paul Rathert and Logan
School for their favorable reconsideration.
Also their able superintendent A. c. Salee,
who rounded up the full data on the high
school golf situation and presented the
facts to the board. Mayor Reginal Sulh-
van took a hand too. and in a personal
recommendation to the board said that
something should be done to KEEP golf alive
in the city schools.
IN ECENTLY the board made a
N decision that no free passes to
the golf courses would be issued.
That decision was made in good
faith, but without knowledge of
what it covered. The indianapolis
Times annual interscholastic golf
tournament which has been staged
four years on public links attract
ing a large field from both high
school and grade schools was head
ed for the Junk heap. High schools
with depleted athletic funds were
ready to cancel their team match
schedules with other schools be-
cause they were unable to pay green
fees.
| Shooting Par visited Salee. A meeting
| of the coaches at the various high school
in The Times office was held last Friday.
That group delegated Lieut.. George Nay
| lor, Shortridge coach, to act as their
spokesman before the park board. Shooting
Par is happy to announce the new de-
cision of the board. In detail it fol-
| lows:
Each school will be permitted to play
their scheduled matches at course to be
assigned to them for use as home course.
Each school team of four men each will
play probably six of these matches.
The schools have agreed to waive the
practice privilege and inter-schoOl tourna-
ments which will be taken care Of in the
big fifth annual indianapolis Times Inter
scholastic tournament at Riverside course
June 1914 inclusive. Shortridge took first
| advantage of the privilege of free green
fee today when they met ~ShelbyvilIe here.
Manual, Cathedral. Technical and Wash

DAVE MITCHELL, whom many
- remember as the pro at South
Grove some time ago, has been re-
instated as an amateur and is play
ing under the South Grove team
colorS this season. With Dave as
the pivot man, Jack Crawford, club
president, states he expects great
things from the number one team
of sixteen best club players.
y
Crawford himself is shooting good golf,
but seems to have the "buck" on the last
three holes. Is. II and IS. Jack found
himself just out of the los the last four
rounds, because he could not shoot the
last three holes in one over par.

South Grove is about to lose golfer,
or maybe add one. 1t all came about
after Jim Thomas appearance at the
course wearing new pair of gray
Knockers and a pair of bright red socks.
Jim said the outfit was gift from his
girl friend in California and eventually
Jim admitted that he is engaged and the
date of the tie UP is June 10.
