invitation Nudge played
we'll While Ouimet was playing poorly
and by taking advantage Of his oppor-
tunlties put the former national cham
pion out of the running.
Last year Ouimet was beaten in the
first round OF the Greenwich tourney
and after his defeat this afternoon he
said that he was going to keep or COM
ing back until he could accomplish
something worth while.

In the Minnesota champion, Is in the
semi-fnal round with three other
youngsters. Philip Carter, Reggie Lewis
and Max Marston. In the upper bracket

Lewis, while Nudge and Marston will
meet in the lower.
Even though Ouimet played a good
deal of bad golf this afternoon after
a good morning round in which he had
beaten DR.. w. ID. Macdonald OF Wee
Burn without difficulty. Nudge fully
earned his victory. Behind at the start
he stuck to his task In manful fashion.
and the moment Oulmet began TO waiver
was ready to reap the benefits of his
great opponents mistakes. The match
began with victories for Ouimet Oh the
first two holes. but on the third half
he topped his drive into the bank of the
brook in front OF the tee n lost the
hole. The next two were halved, but
on the sixth Ouimet topped his second
shot. and Nudge. SELLING his chance. put
his second on the green and won the
hole. That made the match all square.
n Mudge's outlook vas brighter.
There were Just three holes to
reached. and Nudge playing par
golf. won all three. On the seventh
ouimet missed A two foot putt,
on the sloping eighth green he stymied
himself and then failed 70 jump over
Mudge's ball, n or the ninth his tee
shot stopped on the left Of the green and
his pitched approach al ten feet past
the hole.
Although he was 2 up at the turn.
Nudge was not satisfied. He won the
tenth In 3 to 4. almost getting down
his putt for a .. The Eleventh was
halved in 1. and up the hill to the twelfth
Nudge topped his drive and should have
lost the hole. but Ouimet too three
puts and II was halved In 4. Nudge
made another mistake on the thirteenth
when he topped his second shot. M this
time IT cost hin the hole. for Ouimet
played II well n won In 4 20 5.
The long fourteenth should have been
won by Nudge. for ouimet put his third
shot out OF hounds. but the Minnesota
champion missed al easy putt and the
hole was halved. The %ifteenth. 2l0 yards
uphill to a well guarded green. settled
the match. Nudge put his tee shot on
the green about ten feet from the cup,
and after Ouimet had missed a long try
from the edge OF the green ran down
his putt for q ., winning hole and match.
