Barnyard Golf Tour-
nament Nearing Finals
The cling ' clinj' that can be
heard all hours of the day oer at
Hunt Hall reminds the passerby that
the big mid season horseshoe tournn
ment at McMurry is in lull swing
Ihe extreme interest In this old fash t
ion hUiie of bain jnid golf is imn-'
ifested by the fact that the contestants
are on the courts in the caily inornim
houis even before the sun is up at
noonday there is scircely standing
room for spectatois and in the twi
light period of the evening the cliiu
of the cold steel striking the iron
stakes can still be heard Somet hum
the boys hae to stiike matches to ste
which shoe is neatest the post
Horseshoe pitching turnishes n do-
lihhllul toim of recreation It ii lull
of thrills and Mirprifces An uiupi(t
ed linger in a pinch sends Hi" same
Rcnsatlon through one's anatoim as a
homerun does when the base nr full
The game also provides an lnlgoiat
ing cerclse During the procrs of i
ftw games the plaei heaves -.ever
al tons ot steel through the lit It
stuidies the nerve and develops the
accuracy ol om s pitching arm
The outstanding feiture of this
tournament is extreme earnest nes-t on
the pait ot the contestants Fath ono
pitches horseshoes as il his l'tt de-
pended upon it Ma ly hot and dra
matic arguments take place as to
whether such and such a ringer"
' leaner' or countei ' shall count A
'reteiee' calls the game but some-
times oven his decisions are rejected
b one or tlu other of the contestants
'lo this end a committee on rules has
In en appomtid l the otfichils of tin
tout nament to hen all disputes and to
act as a court of last lesort
Ihe tournament has oicasionid
man suipiises DniK horses aie
continually boUbllig lip ffluMuuj ci-
idently has many lads fiom the torks
ol the eiiek vvhcio the hoys pitch
hoisc shots down by the blacksmith
shop dav in and da out and yeir in
and jetu out In tact all we need to
make this loui nament a prototype of
the kind plaed down on the tarm is a
fiw phus or Stai Nav or Brown
Muli and a few loads of ha scattei
cd around to piovtde the piopei at
