Unlike all other sports, golf in
~ indianapolis high schools must
be practiced in a catch-as-catch-ca
manner. The golf teams do not
drill Systematically as do the other
athletic squads, and the reason
simply is that the necessary free
facilities are not available.
Whereas the schools have their
own football fields, track ovals and
basketball courts, student golf
links are, of course, out of the
question, being matter of mag
nitude far beyond a few hundred
feet of soil.
Numerous high school links teams
throughout the state are getting in
their steady practice ticks just the
same, according to Coach Simon
Roache of Shortridge, who is in
charge of the annual state prep
tournament, and they are doing it
through cooperation of their city
public course officials. That is, the
high school coaches are allowed free
use OF the municipal courses for
their tryout sessions, team practice
rounds, and actual season matches.
Mr.. ROache is campaigning for
a similar setup in indianapolis.
When local high school teams
want to practice up for a match
on a public course, each boy pays
regular rates for every round he
plays, according to Mr.. Roache.
THAT would be all right" says
Mr.. ROache, eff every boy had the
means, but many have not"
1t is the Shortridge mentors Pc
tition that the local courses donate
their grounds to high school STU
dents and for matches with other
state teams until the end of the
school semester June 1.
Such free use," he claims, would
bring many more students into con-
tact with the game and eventually
create enough devotees to really
prove profitable to the city courses. :"
Lafayette has special arrange
ments with the country clubs for
gratis play when the schools are
host to visiting teams, Mr.. Roache
recalls. Among others having crack
teams because of free, and conse-
quently frequent, practice are Co.
lumbus and Culver.

When we played Culver, John

defeated him. A little while later.
this same King hooked up with
Lawson Little in a big amateur
tournament and gave the Califor-

The next day he paraded before us
