TNTERBST in golf is over on the upward trend!
1 The year 1922 will go down in the record chart as the mosl aTie
ce&sful ever experienced by the Ogden Golf and Country club from
all angles, with 1023 giving promise of shattering all records estab

A total of 6.019 players took part
in tho mutches during the season to

Of these players played one or more
rounds of golf, covering approximate
ly 25.000 miles of ground during that
period, so to speak.
The annual tournament between
plhe Reds and tho Blues was captured
by the Blues after a sensational rally
n tho final day. The banquet given
by the Reds was listed as one of tho

would stamp them as contenders. It
has been mighty hard for tho North
Cache High at Richmond and tho
South Cache at Hyrum to compete n
the division in every tranch of school
athletics duo to lack of facilities.
Both of these schools now have new
gymnasiums but they have not hal
up to this time and this has retarded
the progress of football, basketball
and practically every sport. Theae
schools, as well as the Preston HI 1
school which was formerly the Onel i.t
academy, are situated In agricultural
sections which also has a great deal
to do with athletics, particularly foot
ball, and even more so because of this
being a sugar beet growing district.
This naturally lias given the Login
High school a great advantage.
EASY GRID WINNERS.
The Grizzlies havo been easy win
ners of the Cache division In football
and have vied for the state title four
successive seasons. Lack of competi
tion has handicapped them against
tholr opponents in the title gamos
and tills was quite true this season
when the Salt Lake Kast High team
H won over them by only a 3-0 score
H aided by Dame Fortune. The Logan
H High lias never lost a football game
H In the division.
The most successful basketball se
H son the division has ever enjoyed was
the 1921 season when tho keen com-
petition helped Coach Dick Kapple
B develop the great Grizzly team that
fl annexed the Rocky Mountain confer-
H ence t.t'r defeating every tournament
1 contender from four states. This sea-
better than at any other time In the
history of the organization.
That the Ogden course Is considered
one of the best in the United States
Is evidenced from tho statements made
1V Kirkwood and Hagen. Both of
the world known figures termod the
OOUrse one of the best in the United
States, the fairways being exception
ally good.
With the 1 923 season nearlng It 4s
expected that the membership at the
club will be swelled to the limit. In
terest In the gamo has already ad
vanced with leaps and bounds, which
I ii.i I, r,trs thnt within tne next vear or
two, additional grounds will be neces
sary In order that the crowded condi
tions, which are sure to develop, may
bo avoided.
Within due time It is planned ro
make the course 18 holes, one of the
best in the United States and one of
the best In this section of the country
' n hundred twenty sprinklers are
located over the present nine-hole
course which gives the course Ideal
water and tends to aid In keeping the
fairways In perfect condition at all
times.
Plans have already been advance 1
by H M. Rowe, chairman of the
greens committee, relatives to Im
provements for 1 923. It Is planned
to Install gruss and trees, which will
require tho lengthening of tho course j
approximately 1 T. 0 yards over the pre-
ent distance. All of the late golfi
courses In the United States are equip
ped with grlas tees. It Is stated
These tees will replace the present
ones which are constructed of cement
A bunker Is planned for number
two. line me course nas a naiur u
lay and doesn't require much bunker
ing, this Ided bunker is expected to
add Just that much more Interest to
the course and the players.
From the manner In which golf Is
advancing In Ogdcn and other pa-is
of tho United States, within a few
years a membership In such an organ
ization will be worth many times Its
present value. As a matter of fact
from the general advance In all SB3
tlons. memberships will be limited.
The annual dinner given by the
president will be featured during thl
early part of January. Stunts galoro
I have been planned for this occasion,
at which time extensive plans for

Five new directors will be elected
at this meeting while the following
committees will be appointed to servo
during the year: Greens committee,
house committee, caddy house com
mittee, sports and pastime committee
and the handicap committee.
With this meeting held golf plans
for the ne.T season will advance with
speed. From Indications cited diirlng
the past year, 1923 should be tne
greatest season in the history of the
local club, with the membership list
full at all times.
son South Cache had a great aggre
gation of players and so did B. Y. C.
high. North Cache and Oneida. It
was a merry scramble and the winner
was bound to be a great team. Logan
lost two hoop games this year by small
scores, but the losses helped to make
a real team later.
Last winter the Logan High had
even a better team than the champion
aggregation and according to all rules
of dope should hae repeated their
performance of the prelous season,
but a Jlttle vanity and too much suc
cess played havoc "with the Logan
quint. When the Grizzlies, who had
won every division game by 4 to 1
and 3 to 1 scores, came on to the
floor of the Deseret gymnasium for
the first tournament game they pro
duced the prettiest sight ever seen in
a tourney before. Every man wore a
clean new suit and every athlete was
groomed fit to go to his own wedding
with a brand new hair cut and shave.
The squad passed the ball with per
fect precision. Fans looked on In awe.
However,
FASHION PLATES.
Ilav!ng gii n the fans Something
to observe in fnelr appearance both
as champions and as "fashion plates, '
the Grizzlies soon walked off the floor
and their tournament mission ended.
They lost the first game to a mucii
inferior team They really had a won
deful team but could not play bas
1 ketball because of "too much pros-
1 nerlty and too much vanity." Hugh
I It. Adams. prlnep;il of the South
j Cache High and division representa
tive, said that he considered this the
I greatest high school team Utah has
ten seen, but "the. Stacomb on tho
hair, the shining new suits together
I with the pride of the Grizzly players"
caused their downfall. To prove that
: the Grizzlies were a great team, they
( had previously defeated Weston High,
, lntermountaln champs. D6 to 18.
Logan High learned a lesson and
,neer again will the Grizzlies let this
1 Incident be repeated in their athletic
history.
With most of his veterans lost,
j Coach Woody Romney will have some
considerable difficulty in developing
la championship team this season,
while the other schools bid fair to
; nose out the Loganites South Cache
has three veterans back while North
Cache is not much better off. Ureston
High seems to have a fairly strong
team for th basketball race.
The slogan of the division teams is

We wish "for the clan that Is loved

j Whose path Is the ancient green,
Those who are buoyed by tho sea

Whose brand Is the iron keen."
A New Year that will leave hope
and courage unbroken by any bunker

We wish also tho continued com-i

brought, the friendliness of competi

May you find the fairway green
and smooth, and th- trouble ahead
onl heavy enough to give stout hearts
and steady nerves the chance for
quick recovery.
May you find n philosophy which,
faces the cours, and the break of luck
wiih fortitude and faith.
May your swing bo trvie and even,
but when It isn't, may your mistakes
not lead you too far away into thej
sanded wilderness of the unplayable
lie.
Here Is the wish that in your philos
ophy you may find the happiness of
I strife against great odds, the joy of

the shallow boundary of the score.
May you keep your eye upon the
ball, mind upon the Job, your grip
upon serenity, your stance upon firm
i ground.
May you find in the game the full
harvest of health recreation and fel
lowship, which are th eonly things
that count.
And for those who have left ths

again the return of dreams and the
renewal of youth as the sun goes

On the srrldlron the Weberltes won

BLOUIN AVERAGES 205 TO DEFEAT SMITH FOR
BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIP
T

In every sport, form plays a prom
inent part.
The great hitters in baseball havo
a similarity in style. There is th-3
follow through motion with the snap
of the wrist as the ball meets che

In gcif, form again plays a promi

swing is so perfect t almost seens
mechanical, on the greens thnro Is
that deftness of touch which is so
essential.
Oene Sarazen. the greatest golfer
of 1922. frankly admits that he has
shaped his game around tn- rr:it
players he has seen In action since
his days as a mere caddy.
i
Sarazen says that he taken a l?af
I from the book of oyery golfer. He
has selected the best features of the
play of the really great golfers and
profited thereby.
In bowling, form is as essential to
success as in any other sport. It
you have your doubts as to such a
statement, take a careful llok at tho
pllnire snowing Jimmy Blouln of
Chicago In action.
Blouln only recently finished a 60
game match with Jimmy Smtlh of
Milwaukee. Blouln averaged 20s

would average better than 200 for 60

In his match with Smith. Blouln
again proved that he is a great
, money bowler. Trailing for the first
Go games, he came from behind, and
in the final block of 10 games, over

Thr series was closely contested.
Blouln's total for the 60 games was

BY HARDY K. DOWXTNQ. i
THE past year in the boxing gamo
was a pretty busy one and resulted
in a lot of rattling good bouts In this

ance has heTd up wonderfully well
under present financial conditions and
practically all of tho recognized clubs
staging bouts havo been able to show
a profit and while a number of
youngsters are looming up on th
horizon as a menace to some of tho
top notehc-rs who have been camping
on top of the pugilistic ladder it woull
be hard to pick any one as the out
standing feature.
Spug Myers, the sensational Poca

the best boy in this section of the
country, due probably to his activity

been meeting all comers for the past
year and still stands undefeated, al

Pocatello boy to a tounh ten round
draw in Logan a short time ago.
ANOTHER MTEETIXG
It Will take another meeting be
, tween these two to decide which Is
really the best,, but In the meantime
Darren Is the undisputed welter cham
pion in Utah, because he beat all the
welters around here the past year,
while Myers has been king of the
lightweight division both here and In
Idaho und has likewise b.-aten all th ;
welters with the exception of Darren.
Able Mlshklnd, who has just re
turned from the eoaat Is undoubtedly
tho best lightweight In Utah and Is
reallv the onlv llehtweicht in thia
part of the country who has been able
to make Myers extend himself to beat
him.
Young Prankle Bufflngton and Her
man Auerbach are th5 two most prom

vision has produced the past year, anl
although neither one has had tho
required ring experience or possess
the ability to cope successfully with

not be surprising to see one or th"

In this part of the country, having re

crown by earning a six-round decision
over Ed Shepard and has backed It
