ture a match, winning from L. L. Har-
ban on the nineteenth green. Harlan

play-off his drive was excellent. and he
holed outin. one less than his opponent
Davidson played excellent golf against

one OF the best scores made by a club
member for some time.

The course was in excellent condi-
ton, the greens were fast, and every
thing favored the players, there being
but little wind. The Bannockburn men
