A Quick War.

THE younger set never had a
chance. Women at st. Andrews?
Women blocking up the golf
course? Women fiocking to the club
house? Here was something worse
than sacrilege and original sin, what
ever that was.
It had all the elements of mutiny

Apocalypse riding again through what
would soon be a wilderness of flashing
skirts and feminine chatter.
At least this was the Old Guards
belief. The empire of maledom was
being attacked-and from within,
The battle was fiercely fought-but
extremely brief and replete with casu-
alties.
The oldtimers accepted the chal-
lenge with a whoop and rush; more
than hundred names were attached
to a plea to the board of governors
that women not be allowed on the
course or in the club house.
One irate delegate suggested that
woman driving her husband to the
course should be stopped at the gate
the husband walking the remaining
500 yards-largely uphill.
This, at least, indicates the deep
feeling held by the old guard. Fol

Frankie Pytlak providing the punch
to push it across.

Charge and Counter Charge.

~NLY a short while ago some 40
of the younger male members
sent in a petition to the st
Andrews Club asking that women be
allowed the privileges of the goli
course and the old-fashioned clut
house.
1t was like firing on Fort Sumter
More than 40 years ago, John Reid
and his associates had started st
Andrews for golf and golfers alone
at time when golfers meant male
golfers.
For more than 40 years, this club
had pursued the even tenor Of its
selected way.
Restrictions against women were
severe. The opposite sex was given
all possible encouragement. I have
seen ST. Andrews veterans froth al
the mouth and go into berserk moods
when a gay green, white, pink OF
yellow skirt suddenly flashed against
the blue sky or the emerald woods
and fairwayS.
Here was one garden of Eden that
was born to have an Adam without
an Eve. There was to be no episode
of the apple and the serpent in this
male paradise, where men could play
in whatever garb they liked and use
such language as the occasion de-
manded.
And then the challenge came. The
charge was launched. The civil or
uncivil war was on.
The younger members, Of course,
had their side. They wanted to play
golf. but their wives also wanted to
play.
They wanted to be at st. Andrews
Saturday and Sunday, but the wives
had no fixed idea of remaining alone
at home those days.
The charge of the younger set was
rather a gallant one. But they might
as well have been storming Gibraltar
with pop-guns. The brave and dash
