fire with fire, sent Bob Hahn. a 81.

Hahn followed the script to the

Hahn racked up nine points in his

St. Johns bumped into a six

The Redmen were in front, 27-18,

arrived on the scene.
With Hahn's added height under

a rally which chopped the margin

USGA Orders First Chanqe
In Golf Rules Since 1884
BY MURRY ROSE

The first changes in the rules Of
golf since 1884 were put into the
book by tn United States Golf
Association today with the main
emphasis On simplifying the
playing code.
Adopted last year but withheld
until today by the U. S. G. A. to
obtain the views of the Royal and
ancient golf club of St. Andrews,
Scotland, the revision cuts the
rules from 81 to 81. Definitions
directly applying to the rules have
been placed with those rules to
make references easier. The new
code is effective today.
The old index of about 900
items h a S been replaced by an
index of 70 listings, a major op-
Grafton by the golfing powers.
Among the more important
changes were those on out OF
bounds balls, use of the flagstick
and artificial distractions.
Under the new code. the penal
ty for an out OF bounds ball is
loss of distance only. Before, the
player lost both distance and a
stroke.
The f1agstick change was in the
matter of distance. Under the
new rules in stroke play when the
lagstick is attended, there sis a
wo-stroke penalty if the ball
;trikes the flagstick or the perso:
landing at the hole regardless o.
rom how far away the ball was
played" Previously the two.
stroke penalty was inflicted only
when the bali was hit from with
in 20 yards of the hole.
For artificial distractions the
new rules reads:
Except in a hazard, if a ball
S within two club-lengths of a n
mmovable obstruction, it may be
lifted without a penalty a d
dropped at the nearest point not
in a hazard and not nearer the
hole which permits the player to
take his stance and to make his
complete stroke in the direction
he wishes to play from such
stance without interference by the
obstruction and without inter.
ference by tn e obstruction with
the anticipated flight of the ball.
Another important change W a S
in the penalty for playing a
wrong ball in stroke play. The
rule now reads: "there is nc
penalty for playing one stroke
with a wrong ball; if two con-
secutive strokes r played, the
penalty S disqualification. How
ever, in a hazard, there is no
penalty for playing any number
OF strokes with a wrong ball. as
before"
|. Under the old definition, if. a
competitor played a stroke or
strokes with tn e wrong ball he
would b e penalized t w O strokes
ard then allowed 10 play his own
ball.
Under the rules governir. form
and make of goE clubs and balls
the ruling body struck a severe
blow at the casual golfer who
played or planned to play with
one or two clubs with inter-
changeable parts.
The U. S. G.. A. says the fol-
lowing new sections are now in
force:
"The grip shall consist of a
plain extension of the shaft to
which material may be added for
the purpose of obtaining a firmer
hold" dhis prohibits grips Of odd
sizes and shapes.)
"a club shall be n unit. All
it's various parts shall be perma.
nently fixed. No part may be
movable or separable or capable
of adjustment by the player"
In releasing the changes, the
Z. S. G. A. may have opened a
rift with the Royal and Ancient,
governing body of British goli
and generally regarded as the
supreme authority for gol1
throughout the world.
