seen at once what q difference may be
observed In the play of Wednesday and
that of the other two days, as 1t will be
quite possible for a team to win which
may not possess the superior individual
golfer of the lot.
1T LIES BETWEEN YALE AND
HARVARD,
Yale and Harvard seem to be the two
colleges upon which opinion differs as
to the probable winner. In this local
ity the abilities Of Yale are better
known, because her golfers have been
seen in several team matches on nearby
links, affording a chance of judging
something of the New Haven boys
style Of play, Their recent victory over
the Dyker Meadow golf team of Brook
Ign showed that they were playing a
strong game. While the Yale team will
not be definitely picked until Wednes-
day 1t is probably safe to say that
these five will be on 1t: Roderck Terry,
jr, John Reid, 1r,, S. A. Smith, w. r.
Belts and Frederick Havemeyer,
Among the others from whom sixth
man can be easily selected are j. J.
Lineaweaver, Craig Colgate, w. b.
Smith and II. T. Kneeland, jr g.
The captain of the team Is Roderick
Terry, jr, son of the Rev. DR. Roderick
Terry of the South Reformed church,
Madison avenue and Thirty eighth
street, himself an enthusiastic golfer
and a player of considerable ability.
Young Terry has been playing the game
nearly two years, principally on the
links at New Haven and at Ardsley
Casino. He is formidable competitor
and in both of the recent matches he
played tie game with his opponents at
Dyker Meadow, with A. l.. Norris, one
of that clubs strongest golfers and
winner of the presidents cup last sea-
son, and at Staten Island few days
before, with J.. B. Stoddart, formerly
the United States amateur champion.
John Reid, jr,, however, can claim to
stand about at the top Of the Yale play
ers. His game at Dyker Meadow, when
he beat one of that clubs ablest men,
w, B. Crittenden, by seven holes, was
one of the most remarkable exhibitions
of the season. Although the links were
practically new to the Yale man, he
went over the course in a record break
ing pace finishing the the eighteen
holes in the low score of Sc strokes, es-
tablishing a new amateur record. The
former best score was SO, held by Dan
lei Chauncey, captain of the Dyker
Meadow team, made last season. Young
Reid also lowered the best Ardsley rec
ord from So to SO strokes In a, practice
game few days ago He Is the son OF
"a nf thn
drew's Golf club, and last year. while
in England, played over most Of the cell
ebrated links there,
Frederic Havemeyer is a son of the
late Theodore Havemeyer and an excel
lent golfer. w. R. Belts is a strong
golfer and played last year in the anna
| teur championship competitions at the
ShinnecoclS Hills Golf club
HARVARD'S WORTHY PLAYERS.
The Harvard team will contain some
worthy players. Five Of the six have
been settled upon, as follows: w. Bay
ard Cutting, jr., Joseph Choate, jr. r.
B. Gannett, l. Townsend Burden and ].
F. Curtis. Young Cutting is by many
regarded as the best college golfer in
the country. He won an enviable place
| AIMING TIRE lllSl SlAle6Il men last year
at Shinnecock in the big championship
games, and holds the amateur champi-
onship of the Westbrook Golf club at
| Islip, L. /. T. B. Gannett just missed
getting in the sixteen last year, as he
was one of the four who tied for the
last place, and was beaten In the tie-off
by Louis Bayard, jr., of Princeton, who
will represent his university in the
coming tournament. Other good Prince
ton players, from whom the team will
be picked, include w. D. Vanderpoel a
member of the MorristoWn Golf club
Paul D. Stoclkley, a member of the
Lakewood Golf club, who has played in
most of the big tournaments there dur
ing the winter; r. K. Poole, J. I. Blair,
o. w. Jackson, w. A. Stewart and r.
