...been no new entries for the intercollegiate golf tournament to be held at Ardsley Casino, N. Y., May 12, 13 and 14. The five colleges originally entered are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, U. of P., and Columbia. The first day of the tournament will be taken up by an eighteen hole scratch medal competition open to the members of any American college, entries to be made at the time of match.

In the tank itself there have been some important changes. In place of the old twelve-foot oars with a hole cut in the blade, a new set has been made with the blades shaved down to the same width as the shaft-three inches-which makes the strain less than with the old seven inch blades.
