lied. The course will be decreased
in length from one around 6,70O
yards to a layout of about 6,400
yards, and many Of the lengthy
walks between tee. and green will
be eliminated, if the plan is adopted.
Few changes have been made in
the Congressional layout since 1t was

Major changes have come in short
ening the 1st hole, and cutting up
the ridiculously long former 10th
hole into two new holes. now the
10th and 1lth holes of the course.
This eliminated the old 18th hole,
which will come back into use as
one-shotter, if the Cox plans are
put into construction.
New holes, under the plan, will
be the I'd and Sd, on the first
nine, and the 18th on the second
nine. But the present 8ths hole,
now a short par 5 affair, around 485
yards, will be cut down to par 4

played with two full shots from a
tee near the present 7th green.
The main feature of this plan
is that it will eliminate many Of
the climbs between tee and green
and will shorten the walks between
tee and green. Our old course takes
too long tosplay. Much of that time
is spent in unnecessary walking
from a green to tee. The walks
will be shortened under this plan" ="
said Witty.
The new second hole will become
a two-shotter of about 375 yards,
played to point of the woods, at
the right of the present second
fairway. The new third hole will be
a one-shotter about ITS yards in
length.
New Green for 18th Hole.
The other major change will in

par affair of about 500 yards. The
length will remain the same but
