noon. This is the course record. made
lby professional. Friend came the
nearest to the medal score, with AZ.
The Des Moines team was composed
of Harry Rawson, Warren Dickinson,
Raymond Windsor and Will Finkbine
Rawson and Dickinson did the best
work for Des Moines, and they, the two
hardest men, were caught in the fore
noon game by Cammack and Friend.
The idea of the Marshalltown boys was
| for Friend and Cammack to hold Dick
inson and Rawson down as even as pos
sible, and depend upon Binford and
Mommers to more than make up for the
close playing by overwhelming Finkbine
and Windsor. Binford and AIommers
| brought the score up we'll in the first
game, with 6 and 3 up, respectively
Friend brought up the score in the
Iafternoon game by winning over
Windsor, while Mommers was up over.
Finkbine. Cammack played good

THE game was well played, though
!; the first contest in which Des Moines
has entered. The Des Moines players
