A yiiIf i onrfi'i.t 1...t \foi)M compare favorably with any in America has been tli?? g'-al of the directors of the Country Chi!) of Virginia and in tho above diagram it Is apparent that this goal lias boon roachud. Work of remodelling the present course at the club is going on at this
time :ind vi.i'ii t*??1 th?- <our?..- will bo a standard eighteen-hole one < i ns;ructe.i o:i a site- declared by experts to lu.' ideal.
Jn pant v< ars th<; golf links of the Country Club of V irginia drew praiso from the most noted professionals in America. Those who went over the links declared that tho club officials deserved high praise for keeping the course in such excellent condition. There was one drawback,
tho cours'-_w;:!> not a standard cue. The plan of reconstruction calls for the boles t<> be standardized and other improvements.
Silas M Newt'?n, one < ; the most experienced golfers in Richmond, has outline! for The Tunes-Dispatch just what the new course has in store for aspiring golfers. Mr. Newton is of tho opinion that when the course is completed it will be a paradise for the most critical golfers.
Mr. N?'Wt"ii-s outline of the difficult holes follows:
. h" new f ir;h h yards in l<*ngth. culls for a long, well placed drive down the present seventh fairway. A full bra>sio to green built back of, and partly on ttio present eighth green, will ninke this one of the most beautiful, as well as one of tho hardest, two-shot holes in
\l\A 'K ' " ' ^ ! '?ns -1U>' 1" * r*?nt of the given that must be carried i ndulations in tho fairway, together with woods on both sides, call for perfect shooting or else one's chances for a par four are ruined.
I ;ie n? w t,fth hole i; changed to a two-shot hole of yards. Tho tee is on tho rise just above the present eighth green. Traps and bunkers are excellently placed aud a full carry on the second shot to the green is required, as a water hazard guards the green.
rtio new ? ?;fh;i. ludo is a line one shot to a green heavily trapped on all sides, a typical "Donald IIoss hole."
( i;? ? a i.long have been needed. The t'ountry t'lub golfers will get awav from the short pitch shots that have been a bad feature of tho old course.
t : >? : ? i'l the bag are to be had on the n?-w course tnll iron, brassb* shots, mnshie play, over well placed traps and hazards, will make tho course a delight to the golfers.

PROSPECTS IN TENNIS
Thirty-Five Candidates Arc
Working Out Daily at
Lexington.
I.KXIXOTON, VA? April 15.?With
approximately thirty-flvo cundldutes
reporting for practice dally to Coach
C. K. Williams. Washington anil I-^e'a
1922 tennis team Is rapidly round
ing Into shape. The first call for
candidates was made last weok, ?uid
a woalth of new material reported to
Coach Williams. While It is a bit
early lo rnalu* any predictions as to
tho strength of the team this year, it
is certain that the Generals will have
a formidable court abrogation by
the time for the first match.
Captain Snively and .Mason are the
only two letter men from last year
who ara out for the team this season,
but Coach Williams and .Manager
Elt?.s are well pleased with the new
ineii who have reported to date. Tha
courts aro in exocllant condition, hav
ing been hardened by tho warm
weather of the past two weeks and
probably will be in Une shape for the
ilrst match, barring a rainy spell be
fore that timo.
Among tho new men who are
showing up well in practice aro Jen
kins. Payne, Hock. Meeker and Foo
sho. I! >ek .was lbs winner of tho
si'.vtr 1 ? vin'.f cuj> presented In tho
tournament hub! last full here, whllo
Mcckw was (he runner-up as well
as the Ilrst substltuto on tlio stjuad
last year. The Itinerary for the trip
this year has not been definitely de
cided to date, but. It is certain that
tho team will either go North as
last year, or enter a triangular
match between Georgia Tech, North
Carolina and Washington and Lee.
Tho Southern trip is the most likely
selection, and If this is decided on
(lie meet will be held May 4 and 5.
