The executive committee Of the Unit
ed States Golf association, which pre-
pared the official list Of pairing for the
first round at match play Of the sixty
four men who will qualify for the
amateur championship, now acknowl-
edges that the system proposed by Ii
onel 81. Graham, president of the New
Jersey State Golf association, is the
best Of all systems.
The winner Of all championships is
generally found among the first four
who qualify in the preliminary round
at medal play and always among the
first eight. Figuring on the basis that
the lowest qualifying score wins, only
the first four men could reach the
fourth round according to this plan,
while Mr. Graham's system makes it
possible for the first eight to meet in
the fourth round.
Only on three occasions in the his
tory Of the United States Golf associa-
ton has the man who made the lowest
score in the qualifying round followed
1t up by winning the amateur cham
pionship. Walter J. Travis did 1t in
1900 and again in 1901, while j. H.
Whigham did it in 1896. Charles Blair
Macdonald had the low score in 1899,
and Whigham. who won the champion
ship, was second. In 1898, when Find
lay S. Douglas won the championship.
J. II. Coates, Jr., had low score, while
Douglas qualified seventh. Herbert NJ.
Hartman, who won the championship
in 1899, also qualified seventh, John
Reid, Jr., having the lowest score.
The executive committee has adopted
officially the system suggested by Mr..
Graham, which is as follows:
