Keeps Interest Alive
In this way, the tournament
committee has hit upon a scheme
that will make the tourney inter
esting. It keeps alive enthusiasm
and compelS every player to shoot
his best, for none will know what
low net he must better.
The officers Of the association
are Frank Thornburg, president;
Fred Stringer, vice president; Cy
Burriss, secretary, and Leon Cole,
treasurer. The board of directors
includes Royal E. Corwin, chair
man; Robert w. Reynolds, Ber-
nard F. Dove, and the afore-
mentioned officers. The tourna-
ment committee composes New w.
Strausbaugh, chairman; John A.
Hipps, and Edgar A. Merkle.
The golf committee of the
BannOckburn Club will soon
announce details for the Spring
time Inaugural Handicap. The
committee has ordered that the
hA SvN mIN
club events and that last years
handicaps will be effective but
will be revised when new scores
are submitted. The glOf COM
mittee includes Fred Byrne,
chairman; Bill Pendergast, Nor
man j. Hall and John ]. Cog
gins.
It won't be the fault of j. v.
= Browrell, chairman of the mem
bership committee at Indian
Spring, that the goal for new
members is not reached. Brow
nell and his committee are car
rying forward a strong campaign
which is obtaining results.
