The course will be known as the Fairview golf course, la ideally located three miles southeast of Wymore, only half a mile off the graveled Cornhusker highway, on ground that originally was a part of the famous Otoe Indian reservation in the early days of Gage county, but which has been under a high grade of cultivation for the past half century, which lies high and beautifully rolling and from the crest of which can be seen Barneston, Liberty, Blue Springs, Only Vincent Richards, How swered by the college alumni who took part in athletics in undergraduate days.

Kozeluh Outstanding. Karl Kozeluh is the outstanding player. Koreluh is better than he has ever shown in the United States. Even so, he is not the best tennis player in the world. It is my opinion that LaCoste and Cochet are better, while Borotra at his inspired best would probably be so.
