The Harvard University Golf Association, organized last spring, has now a membership of 130, and the tournaments held this fall show the great interest that members of the University are taking in golf. In the first handicap tournament there were 32 entries, in the second 34, and in the College championship, where every one plays from scratch, there were 30. The snow has so interfered with the playing of the last tournament that the semi-finals and finals as yet have not been played off. In this, as in the other tournaments, handsome prizes will be awarded.
The grounds are in as good a condition as can be expected when one considers that they have only been in use for six months, and there is every reason to believe that before next spring's play begins the links will be increased to nine holes.
T. B. Gannett, Jr., '97, captain, W. B. Cutting, Jr., 1900, J. F. Curtis '99, R. B. Stone '98, J. H. Choate, Jr., L. S., and I. T. Burden, Jr., L. S., comprised the Harvard team which played in the intercollegiate tournament last spring at Ardsley Casino, New York. In that tournament Yale defeated Princeton 35 to 4, and Harvard defeated Columbia 54 to 0, Yale winning the finals against Harvard 24-4.
All of the members of last year's team with the exception of T. B. Gannett, Jr., are still in College and with the material that has come out this fall in the tournaments there are very good prospects for a strong team next spring. The most promising candidates are the men who played on last year's team and G. C. Clark, Jr., 1901, G. M. Wheelock 1901, M. E. Jenkins L. S., and J. G. Averell '99.
