That the Athletic Association of the University may invest in a new golf course, which may be used, by the members of the Golf team and the undergraduates, was revealed yesterday by Major Fred W.

Three famed and mighty women marched out upon the links at Palm Beach, prepared to do semi-final battle to find out who was the woman's golf champion of Florida. These three women knew each other well; they have succeeded one another for the last three years as national champions - Miss Glenna Collett (1922), Miss Edith Cummings (1923), Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Kurd (1924).
