Show THE CITIZEN 8 o U0j?8 4 With the same fiery president at the helm and with an enthusiastic backing of golfers of the state, the Utah State Golf Association is organized for a season of tournament, golf that should surpass all former match play and medal play seasons The royal and ancient in Utah. game of St. Andrews, kept alive by indoor activity all winter long, is looking to an opening of the outdoor season within the next three weeks, and after that will start with a bang. Dr. E. W. Browning of the Country Club was chosen president for the second successive term, departure from custom, but a wise one. Doc led the golfers of the state through a fine season last year, and from all indications has some more trumps up his sleeve which he expects to play this year. Ralph E. Bristol, fine Ogden Golf and Country Club sportsman, is vice president, while the affairs of secretary and treasurer rest in the capable hands of William V. Rockefeller of Fort Douglas. The executive committee, through whose hands much of the actual conduct of the association will be carried this year, is composed of Ross Gwilliam, Ogden Golf and Country Club; Lester K. Gottschall, Country Club; W. Scott Ure, Forest Dale; Major Cooper Anderson, Nibley Park; Leonard Von Elm, Fort Douglas. These five men have had intimate experience in golf direction, and at least two of them still are tournament threats. Perhaps the greatest surprise of the annual meeting was the awarding of the annual amateur to the Ogden club, which will give the northern metropolis two major tournaments the amateur in addition to the annual Intermountain Invitational scheduled for early in May. But the persuasive tongue of Mr. Bristol won over the association almost without a word of comment, thus settling a matter which heretofore has been a matter of lengthy dispute. An innovation also is that the play will not be continuous. The wisdom of this move remains to be proved. It is certain that by the divided dates of play many golfers who have stayed out of competition heretofore will get the chance to play, but public interest may lag because of lack of continuity in the dates. This is an experiment, however and the result may be good all the way around. The dates for the amateur, then, arc set with the qualifying round, first, second and third rounds G H IT While these three tournaments are the only ones directly under schedule of the U. S. G. A. there are several others to be sandwiched into the playing season. The Ogden invitational, season's opener. Salt Lake City amateur, season's finals, and the various women's invitational tournaments inaugurated last year, still remain to be placed on the year's calendar.

The semifinal round will be played July 24, and the final round will be played Saturday, July 27. Flight arrangements remain to be made. The women's championship will be decided at an earilier date than has previously been the case. The Country Club course has been designated for this play, and the dates have been tentatively set at June 3 to 7. However, the women may have something to say about that matter, in which case the playing time may be scheduled over a longer period. The open was set for June 21, 22, 23, at a course to be named later. The association seemed to favor playing of the tournament over various courses, as was the common 36-lio- practice until last year. However, agitation is arising to schedule the play over one course, and it is not unlikely that this course will be Eimtteinpirfic Conquers Time and Distance flight from Salt Lake to Los Angeles in 5 hours and 5 minutes and then returning with telephoto pictures of President Hoovers inauguration, Miss Vico, the big airplane of the Utah Oil Refining Company, helped the Salt Lake Tribune score the biggest news scoop of its You saw the inaugural pichistory. tures in the Tribune the morning after they were taken in Washington due to Miss Vicos wonderful flight and the Tribune's enterprise.
