Threatens Ancient Scottish Game

(By Associated Press)
Durham, N. H., May 25.-Arrow golf,
a new game, is the sport of the day
at'New Hampshire college. It is play-
ed with bow and arrow instead of club
and ball and targets of straw sacks
are used to mark what in golf would
be holes. The faculty have taken to it
in a body and play daily over a nine
target course. Undergraduates also
have adopted the game.
Over the hills and through woodlots
in the vicinity of the college the ar-
rows are sped without need to con.

reclaiming their for-

sider ground conditions'that would be
hazards in real golf; Yet the gaie
has qualities that make it highly com-
petitive, with factors of strength and
skill involved to a degree that main-
tains interest.
The course at Durham has nine
"holes", or targets. These consist of
sacks stuffed with straw, placed on
poles, the bottom of the sack being
five or six inches above the ground.
The distances between the targets are
from 200 to 600 yards,. The average
players cak make a drive of 200 yards
easily. The game, as in golf, requires
that the circuit be made in the least
number of "strucks." Some of the
targets of the present course are pos-
sible one-shot plays, as -there are pos-

sible one-hole in golf, though the
probability that they will be achieved
in one shot is remote,
The arrow golf player requires little
equipment. Most of the players carry
one bow, two or three arrows in a
home made quiver,; and a guard for.
the left wrist necessary because the
string strikes down on the wrist with
great force. The player also wears a
glove orb the hand with yhich he pulls
the bowstring, or at least three fingers
of a glove to cover the finger tips used.
Arrow golf has one great advantage
over ordinary golf besides the ease
with which a course may be arranged.
It can be played in winter as well as
in summer and has been played here
over deep snow drifts on snowshoes
in the face of blizzards. The arrows
stand up ,in the drifts distinctly and
even when they disappear in the
depths, usually leave a perforation in
the snow which is easily perceived.

"This state alone has t en million1
acres good for timber land but ot for
farming. We spend annually millions
of dollars for timber from outside the
state and millions more for freight
to bring it here. To all appearances
this will continue for the next hundred
years, in which time we will spend not1
less than a billion dollars.
"Considering the largeness of the
problem, our progress heretofore has
been altogether inadequate. Evident-
ly it is high time something should be
done."
