WESTERN GOLF CRACKS

most prominent golfers in the West.

Mr. Forgan says:
4 prefer the plan Of having a quail

sixty four to qualify and continue at
eighteen holes match play. except the
final. 10 be at thirty-six holes. This il
the method used last year az Glenyiev.
Next 10 that. I am in favor OF a ouaIi-
tying round at thirty-six holes
eighteen on Monday and eighteen on
Tuesday-with thirty-two 70 quality. and
the match play rounds 20 be at eighteen

rounds. 10 be at thirty-siX holes. The
English method OF all match play rounds
is very Objectionable 10 me. for II does
away with the medal play qualifying

the game"
Mr.. Tweedle says: Medal play and
match play do not mix well in the same
competition. according TO my views.
believe in having golf played both ways,
certainly, but not in the same event.
Concediug that the game OF golf is
played at eighteen holes. I see no reason
why any OF the rounds. except perhaps
the finals. should be over a longer route.
An argument in favor OF all match
play. I think. is that the tournament
could be played in four days. SAY the
feld numbered 12S players. There would
be sixty-fOur left al noon OF the first
day. thirty-two that night. sixteen az
noon the second day, eight that even

This would leave two 70 play out the

II this were eliminated believe the
field would be considerably smaller. and
any field OF 12s or less could be put
through in four days"
Alan I. Reid. another prominent
Western player. and ore WIG has made
a close study OF the game. SAYS that
while he favors the straight match play
rounds as furnishing the best test. he
does not think the time is ripe for a
