.FORTY-NINE STROKES
Golf Record on College Hill
Broken by MuSSeIman.
DOES IT WITH A CLEEK
Griffith Wins Match From
Moore BY One Stroke

Yesterday. in his match with Newt
Hockaday, Al Musselman broke the golf
record for the College Hill links, going
nine holes in 40. thus reducing the rec
ord held by Prof. Clark by one stroke.
AS Mr.. 8Iusselman made the score with
three distinctly poor drives included, the
students of the game now contend that
the course will yet be made by amateurs
in 20.
Mr.. Musselman's first drive was a low,
straight, singing one. which stopped four
feet north OF the green; he lofted over
within three feet of the hole and putt
the ball straight in the hole, making it
in 3.
On the second drive the golf ball took
a course to the right, but had distance.
He used the cleek IN the high grass to
get over the ditch, and on the third
stroke with the cleek went within three
feet of the green. He lofted on the
green's edge. putt to within two feet of
the hole and then in, making the hole
in s.
the road and found a good lie; using the
cleek, he went within approaching dis
lance on the second stroke. In approach
ing he shot across the green. The
fourth shot, loft, put him within two
feet Of the hole. Lack Of nerve on the
fifth moved the ball towards the hole
only eighteen inches and it took the sixth
stroke to hole down.
The fourth drive was exceptional, car
rying straight $50 yards.
The second stroke, with the cleek. put
the ball within twenty-five yards Of the
green, a very long, straight fight. The
third, the approach, threw the sphere
across the green and he had to loft back
landing within four feet OF the hole. He
was down on the fifth stroke.
On the fifth drive he topped the ball,
rolling it only a few feet On the sec
ond stroke he used the cleek and got 40
yards, and on the third stroke. with
the cleek, landed within fifteen yards Of
the green. The fourth, an approach, shot
him across the green. The fifth, a loft.
dropped the ball within three feet Of
the hole and the BAH went down on the
sixth
The long hole proved fortunate. The
first drive carried straight $50 yards.
The second stroke. the cleek again, sent
the ball 10 yards; the third 100 yards;
the fourth. a cleek also. sent the ball
beyond the house" The next, a very
long cleek, ended with the ball on the
edge Of the green the sixth putting it
to the edge of the hole. the seventh down.
The seventh drive was the BEST 200
yards. The next, a cleek, sent the ball
over the green. The third was a top,
practically a foozle, with the lofter. The
fourth rolled the bali to within five feet
of the hole and the fifth it went down.
On the eighth drive the ball went down
into the hazard a bank, and bounced
ont and on, but didn't make the flag. The
ley; the third shot it to the green val
ley; the third shot tito the green from
which it bounced. The fourth put It in
five feet of the hole, and the fifth put
it out OF sight.
The ninth drive was a top drive, down
IN the gulIey. The second shot got it
across the road, the third up to four feet
of the green, the fourth merely muCged
it onto the green, the fifth put it within
two inches Of the hole, and the sixth put
it down. Mr.. Musselman did not use the
brassie IN the round.

Mr.. Griffith won over Mr.. Nestor Moore,
