CHAMPION BEATS WALKER
BY KERR N. PETRIE.


Cambridge University's own golf in
vasion of the American intercollegiate
classic came to an end yesterday at the
Greenwich Country Club with the play
ing Of the semi-final round. Thanks to
J. Simpson Dean. the Princeton captain.
who eliminated T. S. Morris. the last
survivor of the English sextette. the
title is to stay at home. going to Prince
ton, as represented by Dean. or to Yale.
as represented by Jesse w. Sweetser. the
defending champion.
A. l.. Walker, Jr.. the Columbia cap
srin. also did his share to pave the way
for an American victory by eliminating
J. A. Bott of Cambridge in the third
round by and 4. Later in the day
Walker fell before Sweetser by a score
OF and l.
Dean had surprisingly easy time in
both rounds. In the morning he de-
feated last years runner up, j. G. Ward
of Williams. by and 6, and later in the
day proceeded to administer exactly the
same dose to Morris of Cambridge.
But of all the golf displayed during
that interesting third round the bright
tpI lldSu VI dlt was tiidl VI w dlhci
in his contest with Bott. At the sixth
hole the Columbia leader was down, but
at this stage there came such a change
over his game that he was enabled to
win by up and to play. From the
seventh to the fifteenth, inclusive, Walk
er required only twenty-nine strokes.
which probably sets a record for inter-
collegiate golf. 1t is something that the
Cambridge men could not remember hav-
s,,rr ltaI T. III In,
The match had come to conclusion
on the fourteenth. where Walker holed
twenty-five putt for a birdie 4, but as
the players found themselves away at
the far corner of the links with the fif-
teenth directly in their way. they de-
cided to play that hole as well. Walker,
on his tee shot, laid his ball eight feet
from the cup and sank the putt for 2
This 2 gave him exactly twenty-nine
shots for nine consecutive holes, as
against the par of 80.
For missing par on the first, third
fifth and sixth holes Walker certainly
had made amends, as he was under on
the seventh. eighth. thirteenth. four
teenth and fifteenth, and even with par
on the intervening holes.
Dean Four Up mt Turn.
Dean meanwhile had trundled his
heavy artillery into action against Ward
and was blazing away with such purpose
that he was able to lead by up at
the turn despite 80 by the Williams
star. At the sixth, where he drove
into casual water in a hazard. and after
dropping out sent his next over the
green into the woods. was Deans only
hole over par. or the others In the
twelve required TO dispose OF Ward he
played four stroke under and the re-
~x,ts al a
match with a 40 foot putt for 2 on
the twelfth after sinking putt OF IL
feet for a birdie 3 on the eleventh.
To win his bronze medal by defeating
r. L. Wintringer of Princeton, Norris
OF Cambridge played the smoothest game
of all over the first nine holes at least
1t was relentless golf this. for to the
turn there wasn't a single hole that did
not show the figure asked for by perfect
golf.
Wintringer scored a birdie on the first
but this was the sum total of his win
nings on the opening nine, whereas
Morris with his thirty-fve strokes won
five holes and therefore turned with
lead of 4 UP. Coming back the Cantab
missed shots at the eleventh and four
teenth, but Wintringer was able to
profit by only one of these. and Morris
won the fifteenth green by up and

Although starting out with a birdie .
Sweetser had some difficulty settling
down in his third round match against
A. T. Burlington OF Yale. Driving for
the thirteenth Jesse led by UP, but
Burlington came back at him with vim.
squaring on the fourteenth and holding
the match even with two holes TO play
on the seventeenth Sweetscr scored
mar 4 and took the lead. A half at the
home hole gave him the victory by the
odd hole.
Morris Weak In Afternoon.
There was nothing particularly in'-
pressive about the play of Morris In his
semi-fnal match against Dean. and the
Princetonian soon had the contest well
IN hand. turning up with a card or 81
and taking the first three Of the incom-
ing holes straight. Deans golf was very
effective, but by no means perfect How
ever the Cambridge survivor appeared
totally unable TO avail himself of the
openings which the Princetonian did oc-
casionally leave
At the seventh Morris laid n fine sec
ond shot ten feet from the hole. but
missed the putt for n 3. On the next
Dean sliced 70 the rough and failed 70
get anywhere near the green with his
second. Instead of going for the green
Morris very accommodatingly dropped
his approach into the bunker and the
hole was halved in s. The card:
Dean. out. 8 s-s7

Too many three putt greens were en-
countered for low scoring IN the
waiker-Sweetser contest. Going out
each had an extra putt on at least three
greens. Turning for home the Column
bia captain led by hole. but the cham
