...match unique in the annals of competitive golf will begin today when the Harvard golf team holds a 36 hole meet with the University of Oregon...
...difference in diameter of 6/100 in., in weight of 7/100 oz., was authorized for standard U. S. golf balls last week by the U. S. Golf Association. The difference may engender international complications next year because the Royal & Ancient Society of St. Andrews, high court of British golf, has refused to change the present standard ball.

A natural corollary might be a meeting of Harvard and Princeton undergraduates on Yale soil to bury the hatchet. The suggestion is not new. It was proferred by the Yale Student Council at the time of the break. It might still succeed on one condition: that it be an undergraduate...
