tinue In the second half Of the qualify
ing round tomorrow.
Five Of eight golfers who came in
with cards Of 81 remained in the select
circle Of sixty-four. The scoring was
higher than usual for a Western
amateur championship. Last year at
Grand Rapids e~ighty-hve was the high
est total that won a place In the first
sixty-four.
Chick Evans, the title holder, minus
his favorite clubs. left in Chicago by
mistake, made the course In 81, and
several OF the other stars had plenty OF
trouble. The course was In fine shape,
and the only Excuse the cracks can have
for their high scores Is that the links
are a bit ha rider than others encountered
In the last few seasons when Western
championships were being fought for.
In fact only eleven golfers did better
than so. the best known among them
being Neville. Hunter. at rs. and Donald
Edward. W. e. Fownes. Jr, Eben NJ
Byers and J. f. Standish. Jr, at 20.

81 and came home In 80. while Neville
was out In IS and back In So.
