Western Golf and Country Club
is going TO reverse the order of its
mines this season, the present sec
ond nine to become the first and
the first nine the second. In other
words, the club is going to play
the course the way it originally
was laid out
The change in the order of the
mines was made in 1927 and has
continued ever since-except dur
ing the State Open two Summers
ago. That brief tryout convinced
members the old way was better
and undoubtedly prompted the
latest decision.
Hereafter the eighteenth or fin
ishing hole will be a two-shotter
instead of par 3 hole. always a
more desirable arrangement. Also.

Wings Fight for Third;
Play Rangers Twice
Meet New Workers
on Sunday Here,
Tuesday in East
BY LEWIS ii. WALTER

It's more than two weeks to the
end of the regular season, but the
Red Wings chances to enter the
second round of the Stanley Cup
playoffs may be decided when
they oppose the New York Rang
ers this Sunday night at Olympia
and Tuesday night in Madison
Square Garden.
Now clawing at each other in
a struggle for third place, either
club can virtually assure itself of
the berth by taking these two
games, which are the last sched-
uled between them in the regular
season.
Possession of third place IS
worth fighting for even if the task
OF overtaking Toronto and Boston
now appears impossible. The club
that can grab third place for
keeps will have the advantage
of home ice in two of the first
round games if the series goes
three games. Further, the win
ner of the series will open and
close the second round series on
home ice.
Crosse Is Out
Detroit has a slight edge on the
New Workers this season, having
won two games TO Rangers one,
while three were tied. But the
Wings will be handicapped Sun
day night by the absence of Don
Crosse. brilliant center who was
called to Sault Ste. Marie. Ont,
Friday night by the death of his
sister.
Manager Jack Adams Is ex-
pected TO put Gus Giesebrecht in
Crosses place on the line with
Eddie Wares and Abel with Howe,
Bruneteau and Jennings on an
other combination. All the Wings
came out OF the Americans game
in good condition.
Rangers have been making a
late rush and have lost most of
the cockiness with which they
went into action earlier this sea-
son.
The game Sunday will mark the
Wings last appearance at Olym-
pia until Thursday. March -
when Chicago Blackhawks come in
for their last stand. The Detroit
club leaves Monday 10 play Rang
ers Tuesday and Americans IN
New York Thursday. then jumps
to Montreal for Saturday game.
