NEW GOLF COURSE AT ST. ANDREWS

Town Council's Plan

London, March 30. St. Andrews, famous all over the world for its golf links, is con- sidering the layout of a fifth course. The meeting of the St. Andrews Town Council last night intimated that the council

was

negotiating for the purchase from the University of a large tract of ground on St. Nicholas farm, ad- joining the East Sands.

the pos- sibility of constructing a nine- hole golf course.

AUSTRALIA v THE, REST “Australía versus The Rest! We have played them before. It would be a good start for the fund."

One pointed out that a match of somewhat similar nature was to be played in Adelaide as a testimonial to VC, Grimmett and V. Y. Rich- ardson early next season.

THIS IS ALL WRONG

"That's one; of course," said the old Australian captain, “but other could be played here."

QUICK START

"Yes," responded Joe. Enthusiasm lighted up his face as he stated that he would endeavour to get the move- ment started before, he went back to his island home.
