GOLF TOURNEY IS ON
Annual Fall Contest Begins at
Columbia Country Club.
ENTRIES ARE NUMEROUS
Eighteen, Instead Of Thirty-Six,
Hole Qualification Play.
HENRY L. WEST SCORES FIRST
Makes Rounds in 81, Despite Wind.
Standard Of Past Years
Not Equaled.
HENRY L. WEST SCORES FIRST

With a field of contestants Of suffi-
cient proportions in number as well as
in class to assure an event of more
than ordinary interest, the annual fall
tournament of the Columbia Country
Club was ushered In this morning on
the links on Georgia avenue.
Eighteen-hole qualification play was
agreed upon, instead OF thirty-six hole,
which governed proceedings last
spring. The brief session was the re-
suit of a conference OF the committee
in charge Of the event and was de-
cided on In order permit thirty -six-
hole rounds in the finals Saturday.
The playing of eighteen-hole qualifi-
cation rounds has caused more discus
sion in tournaments held in this vicinity
during tho last few seasons. and often
has been condemned on the ground
that in many instances some Of the best
golfers entered have been forced to be
content with berths in an unbecoming
sixteen, througha slight reversal that
might have been overcome in longer
period Of play.
The contestants entered on their tasks
this morning with a spirit Of ''even
chance for all,'' but at the conclusion of
the round it was evident that some had
suffered.
Following what has almost become
precedent in the annals of the club, for
mer Commissioner Henry l.. West was
the first to register score. He made
the rounds in 81, in spite of strong
wind that swept the course. which made
slicing in particular extremely difficult
Later In the morning the wind subsidized
to some extent, but those few faithfuls
who were out for an early start were
somewhat handicapped.
From O'Clock until shortly before noon
steady stream Of players drove from
the initial tee, where a gallery, composed
for the greater part Of members OF the
"old guard had gathered to watch the
start vi play.
