 Garden City, l.. T., Oct 22.-With four men left after the qualifying and first rounds of play in the individual championship contest of the Intercol- legiate Golf association Harvard seems to have royal chance of winning dou- ble honors again this year. Having du- plicated her team championship victory of last year, over the Garden City Golf clubs links yesterday. Harvard sent seven of her strongest players to battle for honors in the individual champion ship, which was begun this morning with a qualifying round of eighteen holes, and all of them qualified. Tn the first round of match pay three of them met defeat, but the strongest men. H. c. Egan, WE. Egan, M. MoBurney and w. C. Chick, survived. H. Chandler Egan, who won the individual cham pionship last year, Is again well to the fore notwithstanding the fact that he met and defeated a much weaker play CT in Bosler of Pennsylvania, this af- ternoon. As winners play winners Egan will meet his college mate, M. McBurney, in the first of the serni-final matches to-rnorrow morning, but this fact will not weaken Harvard's s chance X to any extent. Since the tournament began last Tuesday, H. c. Egan has been playing very consistently and he is a prime favorite among the experts, all of whom believe that he will repeat his win of last year.

A great many visitors were attracted to the links during the afternoon as in addition to the intercollegiate golfers, Miss Rhona Adair, champion woman golfer of Great Britain, made her first appearance on the Metropolitan links in a match with Devereaux Emmet as a partner against Walter J. Travis, the amateur champion golfer of America, who played against the best ball of the pair Miss Frances c. Griscom fo Phil adelphia was to have been MT. Travis partner in a mixed foursome, but she withdrew at the last moment and the other match was speedily arranged. Miss Adair's showing was excellent considering the fact that she was a stranger to the links, and that a puz- zling cross wind was blowing over the course during the entire afternoon. Miss Adair had poor luck on the fourth hole, but she and her partner were 1 up at the turn and the match was even on the seventeenth hole. Travis took only two on the home green and won the match by up. Following are the cards of this match:
