4 ' Ml- 1 -nEinn'f 3... ' 3 - '- fi- A' XJ 5 mv1NG SK1-:Ton Boon it Golf Team Irving will this year enter into a new field of com- petitive athletics. A golf team has been recently organ- ized which can be expected to do great honor to our Alma Mater. In the past years golf teams have been or- ganized but have never entered into competition with other schools because a golf course has not been avail- able. However, this year challenges have been issued to several of the leading preparatory schools in this part of the State. It is hoped to include Horrace Mann, Poly Prep., Montclair Academy and Choate on the schedule. The team has held several meetings to organize it- self. Regular practice will be held later in the spring. Dick Thomson, clubslinger from Up-State, was elected captain. John Howey can be expected to shine with his sticks this season. Eckert, Kilborn and Jimmy Richards are said to be unsurpassed in their own class. Golf teaches sportsmanship, perseverance and gritg as well as being a great health builder. With these thoughts in mind, the golf team was organized. The game has come up in the ranks of major athletics very rapidly in the past few years. It holds a high place in college and preparatory school sports. Golf is proving a valuable addition to athletic activities wherever it is played.
