pi KIRKWOOD’S OPINION. MANAGEMENT CRITICISED. ¥■ - * YOUTH AND VIRILITY NEEDED. * (Received Dec. 10, 12.40 p.m.) ► ■ SYDNEY, Dec. 10. i\ Kirkwood, the golfer, departed for America after a holiday visit to Aus- \ tralia. \ Discussing the game in Sydney he j expressed surprise that despite t the > great increase in the number of play- * ers during the past eight years, the * standard has not improved but rather * slipped back. ! Another surprise he remarked was l that the government of the ’ game in * Australia remained in the hands of a ? select few who were self-appointed « 2b years ago. The introduction of youth and virility into the managei ment would send the game ahead. t Kirkwood proposes to re-visit AusJ! tralia next season to compete in the a professional championship, for which ;■ tie has donated a cup.
