course from the northwest the semi-finals
in the four siXteens and two consultations
of the annual fall tournament of the Co
lumbia Golf Club were played today.
When the golfers first appeared the bit
ing air early gave distinct evidence that
flannel coats and other warm golhng

were correct, for even though the sun
came out later, the air still retained its
sting The matches in the first sixteen
between the veterans, DR.. Lee l.. Harlan
and A S. Mattingly and George c. Laf-
ferty and F. Oden Horstman, excited
much interest.
In the second sixteen L. w. Weaver
met E. H. Duff and E. NJ. Ia colt met A.
b. Leet. E. s. Armstrong OF the Salt
Lake City Golf Club, who has done such
good work during the tournament, has
many admirers among the Columbia Club
contingent. who regard his style of pay
Lewis of Chevy Chase was the subject of
much praise

Shortly after noon the first match was
finished when Lafferty crossed the
eighteenth green a winner from F. Oden
Horstman Of Philadelphia and Chevy
Chase This caused the Columbia men
to breathe easier. The work Of the two
players was good throughout, covering
the course In 81 and 81, respectively. At
the ninth hole Horstman was up, but
