Letter Mansion Rezoned
For Apartment Use

Apartment house zoning has been
granted for the Letter Mansion, on
Dupont Circle, In the block bounded
by Nineteenth and @ streets and
New Hampshire avenue NV. over
the protests Of q number Of nearby
property owners.
Following public hearing yester-
day, the District zoning Commission
announced its approval Of this and
four other petitions for reclassif1ca-
ton for use of properties. Decision
was postponed to another executive
session Saturday on several pro-
posed amendments to the zoning
regulations, one Of which would re-
quire off-street parking space for
any residential building hereafter
erected. The draft considered yes
terday is being rewritten.
The Letter home now is occupied
by the National Advisory Committee
on Aeronautics. Richard H. Wilmer,
representing the Letter estate, de-
clared that never again would such
a large place as this be used as a
private residence.
OPPOSITION was voiced by Mrs.
Kenna Elkins, representative of the
Woman's National Democratic Club
and other nearby property owners.

They no longer have the physical
or the Commemorative stamina to hook
up shot after shot through II holes.
This means twelve or fourteen
hour grind, where there is no let-up
on nerve pressure-where only those
who have battled from coast to
coast, week after week through many
months, are well enough seasoned to
go the route. But these old-timers
still can play all the shots any of
the modern crop can produce.
The only trouble is that they
can't link them together, stroke aft
er stroke, and hole after hole. 1t is
the linking process that counts.
Even 20-handicap golfers have made
holes in one, or hammered brassie
shots dead against the pin.
So it would be foolish to expect
any member from the Old Guard to
keep on the heels of Nelson, Ho-
gan or Snead, to mention only three
members from the modern group.
Jones and Sarazen might-in an
18-hole test. But not over the u
hole route, where concentration and
nerves begin to disintegrate and fall
apart, and the old urge fades out
not overlooking a little matter
known as youth-competitive youth.
| For all that, the golfers hang on
the longest. They still can stick
around when the others are merely
records covered with dust.
4 Faster Pace
There isn't any debating the fact
that modern golfers have set fast
er pace than old-timers could offer.
Their game is more standardized
a 270-yard drive and then wallOp
for the pin.
But I still think they lack the va
riety of shots old-timers could play
the half and three-quarter iron,
for example.
The dynamiter or blaster of the
modern crop has made big differ
ence in bunker play. You also can
call it the wedge"
This club saves from one to two
strokes a round, on general aver
age. The old-fashioned, thin-bladed
niblick was not nearly as effective.
The wedge also has helped save
many strokes on the shorter pitches.
Here is one answer
Anyone who can settle this argu-
ment can also settle the argument
of Dempsey or Tunney against Joe
Louis. Work that one out.
The old-timerS made their share OF
mechanical mistakes, but they had
plenty of tricks tucked away. Any OF
them can tell you stories of the way

MICHIGAN OPENS FITNESS PROGRAM
All Students Must Take Part in Tough Contests
BY EDGAR HAYES

ANN ARBOR, July 15.-The
University of Michigan will begin
its school-wide physical training
program with the opening of the
new term today. The program,
recommended by the war depart
ment, is a must for all men of
draft age in the university. which
includes about half the men en-
rolled.
The teachers in the physical
education program and all the
coaches and assistant coaches held
a meeting in the intramural build
ing yesterday. while the whole
setup was explained TO them and
their part in it outlined.
Later they adjourned to Ferry
Field, where the obstacle course
is laid out. This is the pride and
Joy of those interested in the pro-
gram and il received its first test
before these instructors yesterday.
HURDLES, WALLS. bitches
The course includes hurdles,
walls to climb, bitches TO leap,
barries 10 crawl under and ladders
10 be crossed by hand. Clarence
Mum, line coach of the football
team, supervised the construction
of the course and he insisted the
best students couldn't run the
course in less than a minute. He
received quite an argument from
athletic director Fritz Crisler and
others.
