CLUB NOTES
November 1936 ROBERT A. SELLMER '35

The Dartmouth Club Golf Team took second to Yale's first in the Inter-College Clubs Golf Tournament several weeks ago. Wild excitement abounded at first when it was thought that Dartmouth had won, but investigation proved that an overzealous Penn man with a grudge against Yale had put his score in with that of the Dartmouth players. After the mad but gallant action by the hamburger handler in last year's Princeton game, Dartmouth teams have come to expect this sort of thing, but it is encouraging to note that the caliber of our volunteer substitutes is slowly rising We are considerably awed and a little frightened by a new and hitherto hidden power demonstrated by our pen. Last month we mentioned the well-nigh tragic condition of the Club's ping-pong table and timidly hinted at the need for a new one, a project dear to our athletic heart, but we thought this would be at the most a hopelessly gallant gesture. Only the other day, however, we looked into the sports department, and there was a shiny green, brand new table, standing bravely on all six legs, mute evidence of the potency of the press and the futility of direct action. We're afraid to ask for anything this month TABLES FOR. LADIES is the new order of the day in the club dining room; women are only too welcome to sit with the gents at dinner. The hours are from 6 to 8 The building committee has been meeting quite a bit lately to decide upon the future location'of the club, as our lease runs out in about a year. The rumor that we are going to' play a home and home series with the Yale Club, exchanging clubhouses every two years, has proven to be definitely unfounded Joe Weitzel is extremely proud of his two new waiters, who are, it seems, former dining car men. This means a lot, as you would know if you went around much in culinary circles, and a great improvement is expected in the service. The men show a slight tendency to hang onto the tables when they think the dining room is starting to take a sharp curve, but this will disappear in time. .... Mr. Weitzel is equally proud of the fact that the clubhouse has just passed successfully through a complete fall house-cleaning
