Spain, and Dick Midkiff. From
these five players wiU come four
scores which count toward the
city championship.
In 14 meets held this year the
Shortridge golf team has out-
scored its opponents 105y2 to 77.
It city competition the Satans
have outscored their opponents,
94i/2 to 49'/2.
The Coffin golf course is regarded as one of the toughest
municipal courses and it has
given the teesters considerable
trouble this year. However, it
has been two weeks since the
team, played that course and the
golfer's improvement in that period has been immeasurable.
