Yale Golfer Meets Ward.
of Villains, in Final
Match for Title To-day
By Ray Mccarthy

AS suddenly as Thunderstorm dark
ems blue sky just as swiftly and I'M
expectedly was the orange and black,
which has been the predomlnating color
of the intercollegiate golf championship
tournament all week at the Nassau
Country Club, changed to blue of the
deepest hue yesterday afternoon. J.
Simpson Dean, of Princeton, who left
his team at wayside tee on Wednes-
day after it's notable team victory and
who was proceeding steadily and brill
llantly along to the individual title,
succumbed to the prowess Of an Eli
rival in one O. the semi-hnal matches.
Young Jesse Sweetser, the eighteen
year-old star of the Ardsley Club, and
mere freshman from Yale, was the
contender who, just as Dean was with
IN sight of the coveted title, stepped
forth and abruptly snatched his laurels
away. The phenomenal playing of
Sweetser yesterday prevailed over the
brllllance of Dean, giving the New York
lad victory by margin of up and
/ to play.
We said yesterday that if Dean came
through to the final round he would
probably ba hailed as the new cham
pion but that he would have to be at
both Walker, the Columbia captain
and playing through champion, and
Sweetser in a single day. Dean did
play at the height of his ability, as
is shown by the fact he eliminated the
Blue and White golfer in the morning
by score of and d.
Best Playing by Sweetser
Against Dean Sweetser set pace
even approached. His game against
all the fine performances that have
been turned in this week, and in fact
the best Of all ever made in an inter
collegiate tourney.
Dean began the day by defeating A.
l.. Walker, who won the championship
last year. The Princetonian, playing
in the same wonderful form he has
shown all week, strobe up and down
the middle of each fairway with
monotonous regularity and steadiness,
playing each hole in par or better.
Only twice did he make a mistake,
the slightest kind of slip, whcih was
the only thing that made the gallery
realize the big fellow was not ma
chine. Dean was out in four strokes
better than par, and although Walker,
means good enough to stack up with
the golf Dean showed. Their cards:

A. T. Burlington, of Yale, was COM
pl!etely engulfed by the dizziness of
his teammates pace and threw in the
sponge on the eleventh green. Like
Dean, Sweetser went out in "a, four
under par, and was seven holes to the
good at the turn. Their cards:

Play Sensational Golf
A large gallery was on hand to
trail the two sensations when they
began their struggle in the afternoon,
for everybody knew that unless one
or the other cracked this contest be-
tween the Yale and Princeton rivals
would be one of the greatest college
golf tussles ever held.
Both continued in whirlwind manner
going out, Sweetser getting a 35 to
Deans 81. They were even at the turn.
md the loss of two holes proved his
undoing. Although he had a good
score the Nassau student did not play
the game he turned in against Walker.
On the first hole, each took three
puts to get a 5. They also halved
the second, Dean playing regulation
golf-on in two and down in two-while
Sweetser, after being short on his
second, Clipped up to within few
feet of the hole and made an easy putt.
Dean was the first to win hole, TAX
me- to
Although he drove into the rough, the
Jersey collegia. made a beautiful re-
covery to get on in two.
At the sixth Dean hooked his drive
and went into the rough on his
second. While he was thus floun-
dering about Sweetser tore off a
screaming drive that landed him far
out on the fairway. He then took
