charles +. Van Week. jr.. OF Baltusrol.
,yove another thread to the cable Of habit
yesterday when he won the medal in the
opalifying round of the annual invitation
tournament on tho links of the Fox Hills
c,,,b with total Of rs Van Week. it will
y. recalled. performed in a similar fash
io, in the testing circuit OF the New Jer-
,e,. championship at Morris County last
week
I, looked as If Van Week would have no
s,aieulty I'm leading the field of eighty
starters " hen he handed in his card early
j., the day, for his score topped the list
NTH some margin TO spare. Totals were
generally high Some said the course was
fast and il was difficult 10 hold the greens.
Once or twice players had the temeIfty to
sxplain that in view OF the bright sun
shine il was not easy TO keep a fixed eye
on the little white ball.
As the day wore on, however, Morton L.
Fearey OF Richmond County, handed in
n with heartrenderiRg lapses on two
holes. Fearcy is one of those who 90
,bines when least expected. so his per
,o-rnsnce came in the nature OF sur
mise. a stroke is a lot in golf. he re-
marked as he gazed at Van Weeks total
Harold /. Downey with IS came IN
,hird falling off a trife on the inward
tourney. Max Marston. who won 'he
medal last year, encountered difficulty on
,be sixth hole. getting into the road ana
,ben finished mis- round with three puts
IN the eighteenth. These were ABOUT an
the mistakes he made.
Perbaps the most disappointing show
ing Of the day was that OF Nathahlei
Wheeler. the Brooklawn youth VINO won
,ha intercollegiate championship last year
Cor Vale. Wheeler never could get golng'
~ cb;af difficulty being in his short
s@ne. He required 81. which ued WIN
eve others for the last place In the chlel
1,vtsion Even in the play-of wheeler
v,s badly off the line and had to be con-
tent with the second siXteeA.
percy w. Kendall. of Deal. was the WIN
nsr in this phase of the competition I'M
isbing ahead of Wheeler, {. II. Farley oi
r-onor Montclair; c. B. Wilcox, OF Bai-
,nsrol. !. b. Wooten, of Fox HIS, anu
II I WYATT. also of the home club.
Kendall had an interesting, though I'M
nleasant. experience at the hrst hole'
when he first teed up. After getting away
fine drive he was unable TO IND ms
hall and finally discovered that some one
IN the second hole had played 1t by mis-
,ske lie had nothing to do but go back
10 the tee and play 5. settling the ban
ouesfjon later. He was wild In has play
ne after that steadying down to"'Alu
,he end. Thus he had satisfaction III
gaining the rst fight.
To revert to the medal winner van
Week began his round like wild morse
making on the first through long putt
and four on the second by means OF me
approach. Although he could not MAINTAIN
this record gait, he was never far wrong
and PLAYED steady golf. Hts card follows
