With an unusual number Of new
players, the annual tournament for the
intercollegiate golf championships be-
gan yesterday over the links OF the
Greenwich Country Club As usual, the
six days of play began with team
matches, and as result Yale defeated
Harvard by a score of points TO q;
Princeton won from Williams, at to
l, and Pennsylvania beat Cornell at
7 to 2.
For the first time in the history OF
the Intercollegiate Golf Association,
the West was represented. The Uni
versity of Illinois team won the West
ern intercollegiate title only last week
and was fortunate enough 10 draw a
bye yesterday The matches to-day
will be between Illinois and Yale and
Princeton and Pennsylvania.
Through graduation, such men as
Edward p. Allis, Sd, the intercollegiate
individual champion, who was former
ly captain Of the Harvard team; Louis
NJ. Washburn. OF Princeton, and
Clement B. Webster, of Pennsylvania,
were prevented from competing
Among the newcomers, however, were
Franklin W. Dyer, of Pennsylvania;
Dudley H. Nudge, of Yale, who won
the medal In the qualifying round OF
| the national amateur championship
last week, and s. Davidson Heron and
d. Clarke Corkran, Of Princeton:
Four-ball contests were scheduled
for the early part OF the day, while
competition In the afternoon was con-
fined to singles, a point being award
ed for each match. None Of the four
ball affairs was Of more than ordi-
nary interest, and only one Of them
was at all close. Horace Wyman and
D. D. Cooke, of Cornell, were success
full against J. H. Gay, I'd, and n. II
Maxwell, Of Princeton, In a twenty
hole struggle. Wyman and Cooke
were down at the twelfth hole, but
soon had the match level, and a Sc
quence of halves left them all square
at the home hole. II was Wyman who
won for his side, with a twenty-foot
putt on the second extra green.
Quite a different situation was true
Of the later part of the day. Two
matches went to the nineteenth, three
were carried to the home hole and six
were ended on the seventeenth green
Nudge got going along nicely agains,
Lawrence II. Canaan, and won by ano
8. He had difficulty with his puttine
in the morning and managed to get II
Strengthened out later.
One of the extra hole matches was
between r. De z. Pierce, the Yale
leader. and John G. Hepburn, Of Har.
ward. Thanks TO drive which brought
up on the edge of the nineteenth green
Pierce was able to get on par
hole. The length may be imagined
when it is said that the hole is 3Io
yards long.
John Marshall, jr., who held the Ken
lucky championship last year, was Vhe
only man to win a point for w llilanha'
He sprang a surprise by defeating -
Bernd Rose, of Princeton, the intercol-
legiate runner-up last year ana inc
winner Of the medal. Marshall wen'
out flying in SO, and settled the match
on the thirteenth green.
John De Witt, of Cornell, defeated
C. W. d. Townsend, the Pennsylvania
captain. The margin was ana o..
Townsend went out in A and De WIZ
in 35, which made difference OF nine
strokes for nine holes, and TownSehio
was 8 down. In other words, DE VII.
saved just one stroke on ms opponent
ON each of the outward holes. -,
Dyer had little difficulty with
Charlie, T. Lansing, the Pennsylvania
amateur champion, approximating MS
round at "a. Heron was ano s w In
struck a happy scoring mood, for he de-
feated D. r. Coleman by 7 and 8, going
out in SO and finishing with o. d. o.
