the pace of green. In the four-ball match
with the intercollegiate Association, Low
and T. NJ Hunter played against +. ]. O.
Alsop and N. s. Campbell of Yale, and the
match took four extra holes to decide, when
the Yale men won by the superb approach
of Alsop Alsop played a splendid game
all through. The Americans had the ad-
vantage in the long game which showed
most at the sixteenth hole and the third
extra hole, Alsop driving the 10th green and
Campbell the third. Hunters 3 at the
third extra hole after being in a bunker
was plucky effort. and if AIsop had not
been dead in 2 at the fourth extra hole
Hunter would have halved 1t, for he ran
down twenty-foot putt for 4. Low
missed some puts coming in which usually
he would not have done, but he was only
one day off the ship.
Second Best Player
]. A. T. Bramston of Oxford is considered
the finest player on the team of the visitors.
next to Low. He plays with a hard ball
and gets great distance. Bramston and N.
F. Hunter beat F. o. Reinhart and L. H.
Conklin, the Princeton pair, in the four
ball match rather easily.
II. G. B. Ellis of oxford and p. w. Lea
thart of Cambridge are both very strong
players Ellis finishes in the orthodox way
and not with his hands up over his head
as shown in the books. He is long. and his
short game is finished. Leathart is a fin
ished player, and when he reaches his form

the best player of his day in Cambridge

of Cambridge has yet to show his best form,
while c. N. Day of Oxford was off his game
both at Myopia and at the Essex County
Club. Ransom and Day, however scored a
very useful point for the visitors at Myopia

C. H. Alison of Oxford was i'll coming

plucky finish gave the visitors a victory.

Harvard man was 1 up at the sixteenth.
