PRINCETON WINS
TEAM GOLF TITLE
Beats Harvard by a Single
Match After Nip and
Tuck Struggle.

For the first time since the inter
collegiate championship was instituted
IN 1896 Princeton won the team title
when it defeated the Harvard forces by
the narrow margin Of points TO 4
in the final match on the links of the
Garden City Golf Club. yesterday.
Heretofore Yale and Harvard have
shared the title between them, with
Yale the continual holder for the last
nine years. Princeton has been run
ner-up on six occasions, but that was
all more than decade ago. Prince
tons success, therefore, is like an
oasis in II gOlling desert.
At no stage of the contest yesterday
could anything be taken for granted
All day long the struggle went on, two
Of the thrr" four-bAll matches going
70 extra holes. C.. 4. Peacock md }
Il. Rose found il neces sary to fight Ia
the nineteenth green TO take the meas.
urc Of Edward 7. Allis. Sd, and J. W
Hubbell Of Harvard, while Il. VI. Baker
jr., and Samuel =. Griffitts, after being
4 up at ono stage and dormic two later
had to 20 % the twenty-iirst green be-
fore triumphing over ". A. Barber
jr., and William 4. Lowrie.
When the individual contests were
put on in the afternoon it was a strug'
gle all the way. Alls took an early
lead over K. y. b. Fay, but despit,
the peculiar crsmpcd style the latter
uses in some Of his shots he was able
to perform effectively against the Wis.
consin title holder. AlliS was dOrmC
one, but he irttered away his chance
by getting trapped on the home hole
and on the playout going far over the
green and the deep pits behind it to a
position whereby the score boards had
10 be removed 80 that he could get
back to the green. OF course, he lost
the hole.
Fay might readily have won the nine
teenth and the match if he had been
able TO negotiate Il wee putt. lie out
played Alls at every shot, but by TAX
ing three puts permitted Allis to halve
in five. On the short twentieth Allis's
drive reached the green and his second
was 50 dead TO the pin that his three
was assured. Meanwhile, Fay over
played the green on his tee shot, and
he needed four for the hole.
1t so happened that Rose, of Prince
ton, and j. G. lleyburn were the last
TO finish, and it all depended on the re-
suit Of that match as TO whether or
not Princeton captured the title. Rose
was | up at the seventeenth, and his
tee shot at the home hole got into the
deep trap between the pond and the
green. Hepburn was barely on.
When Rose Clambered down into the
pit, niblick in hand, there were strange
msgivings among the Princeton fol-
lowers, but Rose electrified the gallery
with shot out of the bunker which
stopped on the lip OF the cup. Hey
burn Oyerran by ten feet, but Rose.
with certain halve coming to him,
conceded the putt and received hearty
congratulations. That shot out of the
bunker made Princeton the champion.
All but one of the other matches
were tairly close, two of them being
decided on the seventeenth green.
During the day the Intercollegiate
Golf Association held its annual meet
ing and elected W. Hamilton Gardner,
I'd, of Yale, president, to succeed Ed.
ward p. Allis, Sd, of Harvard, who will
be graduated next June.
John Marshall, jr., Of Williams, was
reelected secretary, and c. W. b.
Townsend, of Pennsylvania. treasurer.
The 1915 championship will be held
over the links of the Apawamis Club,
at Rye, during the week corresponding
to this one.
