Through to Semi-FinaI Round.
SECKEL ALSO A WINNER
Princetonian Defeats Kay After
Poor Start in Match on the
Baltusrol Links.

Yale is certain to have a representative
In tho final round of the Intercollegiate
Coli Association championship tourna-
ment at Baltusrol to-day. In the second
round Yesterday those TO come through
were Robert a. Gardner and George Stan
ley. both OF Yale: Albert Scckel, OF Prince
ton. and Harry IIayburn. representing tho
University Of Pennsylvania. They will
meet In the semi-fnals as named
Throughout the present tournament Gard
n~r and Seckel have been the two golfers
who have stood out above all the others.
They have appeared 10 be the class Of this
tournament, but. even so. those who have
watched the golf of the Yale and Prince
ton leaders are OF the opinion that both
will have TO improve considerably II they
hope TO get far I'm the national competition
at Apawams next week.
So far as his matches yesterday were
concerned, Gardner experienced few anx-
ious moments In tho early hours the
Westerner ran away from r. w. Esta-
brook the Harvard leader. whom ne had
met twice before I'm this tournament Esta-
brook failed 10 maintain the pace he set
earlier in the week and proved an easy
victim Gardner went out in IS. where he
stood M Thereafter II was no trick at
all TO win by ; and margin. although
many of his long drives went astray on the
inward holes. Later on Gardner admin
istered an even more decisive defeat 10 &.
p. Eddy of Princeton The last named
was unsteady with his mashie and also
met with little success on the greens.
Gardner, therefore, won by up and 10
play.
When Seckci ana y. @. Kay, another
Old Nassau representative. started in
their first round match. Kay turned 10 his
opponent with the remark, Tin going to
win tine first two holes from you" Secke
promptly made hash OF the first, taking
Z. and he Jared little better at the next
where the best he could get was 8. Kay
won both. After that the Western cham
pion came to earth" gradually wearing
his opponent down and finally winning by
4 up and 2 to play. Seckel does not un-
derstand Yet how il was that he took so
many strokes for those first two holes.
In the afternoon he started much better
against F. T. Clarke, OF Harvard Even
the long fourth, with its yawning trap
guarding the green, had no terrors for tho
Princeton man, who got IL in 4. This il
about five hundred yards. SeckeI won the
first five holes and turned for home up
going out in 81. This was unusually fast
and it began to look as II he would get
round we'll down in the 70's. From the
turn, however, Secke began 10 slip"
first il was the putting and toward the
end the driving. Even so, he managed TO
win on the seventeenth green by and
margin. after the Harvard captain had
prolonged the match for three holes when
Seckel stood dormie 9.
The most protracted contest OF the lay
was the first round clash between Stanley
and II. b. Lee, the Michigan champion
When the last named began by winning
the first six holes it looked all over but
the posting of the result. Stanley then
took a turn at winning holes, the next four
: going TO his credit. He finally got the
match level at the sixteenth lost the next,
but won the home hole when his oppo-
Eont's second shot found the pit to the left
Of the green. The nineteenth hole also
proved disastrous to Lee, who got trapped
twice.
