shall, of Williams.

Good golfers were 6owled over in
the course Of the first and second
rounds Of match play in the interco.-
lcSiate championship tournament a.,
the Greenwich Country Club yesterday.
The competition was brought down 70
"A semi-fnal round, the survivors being
r. r. Blossom and Louis L. Breiin, OF
Yale; John Marshall, jr., of Williams,
and Grant A. Peacock, Of Princeton.
They will NEE; in the order named IN
the thirty-six hole semi-fnal round to-
morrow
The first surprise was the elimina-
ton Of Franklin ". Dyer. new mem
Der Of the Pennsylvania team and
tholder Of the Pennsylvania state ANA
teur championship. Although Dyer was
bandaged up because Of lame back,
his defeat was not caused through in
different golf, for he went round in
close to 70. His conqueror, George /.
( Lawyer, of Princeton, was in one Of
those undeniable moods and won by B
1 up and 2 to play.
/ The luck Of the draw brought %
/ gcthcr ID. Clark Corkran. Of Princeton,
! and Dudley II. Nudge. Of Yale. Nudge,
il will be recalled, is champion OF Min
! nesote, and won the medal in the
qualifying round Of the recent national
amateur championship. IL was ono OF
the closest matches on record, ard
Nudge had TO 70 to the nineteenth hole
TO win.
At no time was either man more than
one hole W. In fact. they both went
! out in IS, with every hole halyed. l.
J is hardly likely that this has occurred
! in many year. They seesawed for
! the next six holes. but found them
/ selves all even playing the sixteenth.
! Three halyed holes left them all square
. at the finish. each going around in ~
and missed putt on the nineteenth
cost Corkran the match.
De Witt Balch. of Yale. the Western
junior champion, was forced TO the
/ twenty third green by ". T. Badham,
a college chum. Badham ran down :
/ long putt on the hole green 10 square
the match, and although ne play on
the FIVE extra holes was ragged enough,
Balch was able 10 settle the argument
with q on the fifth.
The last remaining Western player,
John ~ Simpson, of Illinois, Western
/ intercollegiate champion, fell through
! the superlative golf Of S. Davidson Her
ron, of Princeton. The margin was I
and 6. The speed Of Heron may be
/ imagined when it is said that only one
mistake was made during the whole
round. That was the missing OF wee
putt on the fifth green.
d. Heron. however, had shot mis- bvit.
for he was unable to do anything
against Peacock. Herron's golf in the
afternoon showed that five successive
days of thirty-six holes is enough TO
tire anybody, even such a well built
chap as he is. Heron was plainly
tired, and that statement might be
made for every other collegian. Pea
cock won by and 3.
Marshall had no trouble in eliminat-
/ ing Balch, and g. Nudge looked as II
he might get away with Bredin, for the
/ Minnesota champion was one up at the
/ turn, but the Yale man took brace in
/ the latter part of the match and won
| by two up. Like Heron, Lawyers golf
/ in the afternoon was quite the reverse
of his morning performance, so that
+ the Princeton man fell an easy victim
to Blossom.
