4 Usisaatl, Okie booklets aboaS. 39 NO. HIGHLAND. If you are ft member of Highland don't get excited about the condi tion of your putting greens. It wlH all out1 in the Ton cant overwork: grass any more than you can a horse.

High land's grass was overworked. High land's bad greens today are simply a case of a good thing being run In the ground. But relief la in sight so forget about tt. I Highlands members played golf all winter on permanent greens. VTben the first flush of spring warmth came along and new grass came up every one thought the greens were Just getting their new carpet for the heavy season.

Then came a burst of cold weather. Everything changed. The story, according to good old Louie, is this. The sap was in the grass and then came the cold weather. A ban putted across the green off that grass as a bowling ball would knock down1 ptoar And the grass has not yet come back.

But It will and this week we're patching up a few of the bad spots. Growing weather will cure everything. And so, confident that better greens were coming, we attacked Highland for the first time in 1932. Highland waant In a very nappy mood Sunday. It was a dull day.

It was cold. The sun came Only in short jabs. And Hood Arrln, one of Highland's consistent playera, was missing. Hood played Saturday bufchls life ended some time Satur day night wriue he slept at home. Oolf friendships grow fast in a short time and Hood had made a number of friends In his brief as sociations at Highland.

This round of golf played at Highland Sunday was the company of a young and prosperous broker, a young and more or leas prosperous jewelry merchant and a slightly leas young but nonetheless enthusiastic insurance man. The broker, who has been playing golf regularly all the winter, was, like the day, a dull comrade to golf. The rest of us had had plenty of sleep. The broker and the jewelry man lost, but the wager was nothing just caddy fees. Still, with all things operating against almost every one the word depression was not used once during that round of golf.

This may or may not prove that golf la a relief from Nbuxlness. Highland is a strictly modern golf course. Some jeara ago shortly after tt was opened there came to Highland two veterans of the game. George Duncan and Abe Mitchell, a pah of renowned Britishers were touring the country, showing Americans bow the game really should be played. They still had ft right to talk about their golf for at that time they were still winning a championship now.

and then. They played Highland In figures close to par and after the exhibition was over they spoke well of the place. "What like about it," said Duncan as he surveyed the entire links with! ft sweeping glance of his experienced eye, "Is its wide openness. I like an open course. Here you can see where you're going.

You are not trudging around as a blind man. To my mind It Indeed Is ft fine course." Mitchell, who had amused the gallery all that day by his workmanlike manner of play, also commented favorably on the course, taking into consideration Its exceptional leveleness. It is flat, know. said Mitchell, but it has the golf and you don't have to kill yourself to get It. It is ft restful course but not one to be trifled Highland is restful There Is new hope at each tee.

You do not ever feel you are thoroughly licked at this course. If the course needed any stiffening It would not take more than ten minutes to do it. Highland lends itself to such alterations most almlably. The real test at Highland la accuracy, as tt is at Boost level courses. The traps are waiting you at every turn awaiting your bad tee shots, awaiting your faulty second shots.

Highland is rich In Its reward to the gentleman who la pleased to poke the ball straight down the fairway, a limited distance. And I'm wondering if that Isnt what a golf course should be that la to be used by men who have the means to belong to private clubs. As they get loder their golf scores get better. After ail, you cant beat that. Highland la hard to handle tn wind.

There are some tough fours that automatically become par fives to those who are not able to blast the bail better than 250 yards. Play tag golf to like driving an automobile. Every car has a cruising speed. It was not intended to be driven at top speed all the time. When it is driven at top speed It becomes a dangerous machine.

So It la with one's golf game. It, too, has a cruising speed. You cant hit the ban as hard as you can swing every time ft full stroke la needed. If you do you are almost bound to sacrifice something in direction. Unless you have the courage to take such chances and have the good fortune to get away with those taken rY.nr, you wfll not have Highland eating out of your hand.

wtgViirH is ever the same, but always there seems to arise new problems on this hole of that one. The wind, of course, has the most to do with such changing. That first hole at Highland presents varying problems. I doubt tnere is a single trap on any golf coarse in Indianapolis that haa caught more full tee shots than the one on the left of Highland's first fairway, around 220 yards from tha tee. It Is at this point that you bend to the left for that shot to the green and the traps around the green have never seemed to have lids on them.

It to that way with Highland's haa ards an around the course. Many believe Highland is easy to score on. Hlgniana memners wno Know where the trouoie is tnma not. One of i Highland's greatest virtues is that attractive short nine that takes up the overflow when Highland a main tent to too weu oc cunted. The abort course probably to better practice for the man who to having trouble with his Irons or with his putter than the large course.

The short oourse greens art more undulating. The Shots to these greens are more thrilling than ordinary shots. Highland looks easy. You are not tired after hav ing played It. Your score tent what you thought it should be.

You always feel that you can whip High land. The broker, the jeweler and the Insurance man will always feel that par is within the range of their Coif game. lrj wonder Highland a ea rrn n.aCeA3i THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, TUESDAY, MAY 1932.

NEW YORK, May 3 (A Fight managers shake then heads when they talk of college fighters and their chances of gaining fame aV profes sionals, despite the recent successes of Steve Hamas, Penn State alumnus. "They lack something, they Insist. Not heart, maybe, but just general toughness. Education softens them, leaves them too gentle for the fight But Just the aame. most of the managers will be down front when the sturdy delegation from the college ranks swings into action at the open ing of the annual national amateur championship in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night.

The tournament, bringing together a couple of hundred of the nusklest youngsters in the land, provides the added incentive this year of a trip to the Olympic tryouts In San Francisco for the top four in each of the eight divisions. Heavyweights Stand Oat. Most of these managers win have their eyes fixed on five college heavy weights who stand out in the field of eighteen big fellows recruited from coast to Four of the five college heavy weights are recognized here as ex ceptlonal prospects and the fifth, Jimmy Dee, of Rice Institute, Hous ton, comes nortu wim a tine reputation. The standout of the lot. on past periormances, is the big Irish tackle from Yale.

John Kllcullen. son of a wealthy New York contractor. Kllcullen scales around 190. He has never been beaten. Three others are close to him In ability.

The east won again In 1930 with Oallant Fox and In 1931 with Twenty Grand.

The four leading' hopes of each section today appeared to be: East Tick On, Universe, Economic, Stephenfechlt. West Brother Joe, Burgoo King, Liberty Limited, Callant Sir. Uncertainty IUastrated.
