Second Eleven.
We must play our cards as they ure dealt to us, and if the order has gone out that the lighter ball is to rule in the land of liberty, then American golfers will adapt them selves, to it.
In the United States there is a sharp line between a number of superlatively good players and a vast army of not-so-good players.
During the last year or two the superlatively good players have taken the measure of the American courses. There are few courses in the United States of the St. Andrews type where shifting winds harass the most dogged of golfers. Greens, too, in the United States are not usually so full of tricka.
Long-Handicap Man.
All the same, those courses which have become too easy for the superlative golfer are still dif- Beult enough for the long-hardicap man.
The long-handicap man-he who, in his hundreds of thousands pays for the upkeep of those very courses of which the experts make mock resents having the game of golf made more difficult for the benefit of the experts. Why must the weak golfer suffer for the virtues of the strong?
There is little larger ball does
doubt that the make golf more difficult, even if only the same limited extent that steel-shafted drivers make it easier.
Just as there are golfers who find 30 difference between hickory shafts and steel, so there will be golfers who find no difference between light ball and heavy,

After all, there are many golfera who approach with a wooden club at a hole considered to be a drive and an iron-a drive and a mashle for some players. At some holes these may be forced to take three with a lighter ball, but at many others they will continue to find the green with their two wooden club shots, and at every hole there will he the advantage of a good lie for the second shot.

There can be no radical cure for this, and perhaps it is not desirable that there should be, for nothing is than a "mass less to be desired production" of sportsmen, each equally as good the other.

It cannot be expected | Gingham that a Sports Master with several hundred boys to coach shall know the difficulties and "grouses" which beset every budding Chapman or Wakefield. It is the job of every Prefect to obtain the confidence of the boys in his House, and to try to the utmost of his ability to instil into them the elements of the game and, of possible, show them where they are wrong. It is this lack of interest in his own particular case which causes a boy to become In different and to play
