of medal play, and the team having the
best aggregate score of four players will
be awarded the championship. Prince
ton at present is the champion, and has
been for the last two or three years.
But, strange to say, the Tiger crew Is
running in fourth place this season,
and will have to hit up fast pace to-
day to win out.
Dartmouth did exceedingly we'll end
looks like the contender, although Yale
is we'll up in the race, eight strokes be-
mind Drake and four behind Dartmouth
Cambridge University Of England made
respectable showing yesterday, and
may win fifth place from Harvard.
Two Brilliant Rounds
Drake has we'll balanced team, but
1t has also likely contender for the
individual championship in young Rob-
ert Mckee, Iowa State amateur and
trans Mississippi champion. This boy
reeled off two corking good rounds yes,
terday in scores of rs and 73 each, and
led the field on the first days play with
the grand total OF 149 strokes-golf de
luxe.
McKee's cards for the two rounds
were as follows:
Morning
in'....... Ha'''...'. sss9 ; tt-ss-7s
Afternoon
2a'... fn'...... sssssssstt s-ss-7s-l4s SIS
However, Mckee will find plenty of
opposition when the "each-man-for-
himself" whirl starts tomorrow. Jesse
Sweetser, of Yale. present title holder,
after taking 70 in the morning broke
loose in the afternoon round, and in
spite of heat, rain, thunder and all
finished with a II, the best amateur
record ever made III competition at
Greenwich.
On that round Sweetser was knock
ing 'em cold. He was laying his iron
shots so close to the pin that on most
of the holes it was only necessary for
him to stroll up to the cup and tap
in his putt. He missed at least a
half dozen short puts going out. and
If he had made those, or half of them,
he would have easily got under the
professional record of 60, held Jointly
by Hagen and Earnes.
So, although Drake and Mckee are
good, they must figure on Yale and
Sweetser before counting the cham
pionship as theirs.
Sweetser's nifty performance was
chartered as follows:
Out ....... 3 4 5 4 5 4 d 3--35
In ....... 2 a A 8 4 a a 4--36-71
Three More Near Top
A. P. Boyd, of Dartmouth, and F. B.
Payseur, of Drake. played fine golf
and are right up with the leaders. And
of course, J. Simpson Dean is right
near the top, with score of 152. He
didn't lead the field yesterday, but
there are two more rounds to go and
this fellow, who shines in medal play.
Is quite likely to break through by
nightfall and do some scoring of his
own that will make different COM
petition entirely of the tournament.
A. l.. Walker, Columbias star, played
well, although not at top speed by any
means, while young James Ward, who
has been doing some wonderful scor7
since he arrived in the metropolis,
off badly yesterday, taking an so !
morning and II in the afterno. =.
Sidney Scott, of Yale. was not pioying
as we'll as he can, either. Dick Haight,
of Princeton, turned in fine score of
75 in the morning, the best for the
opening round, but fell off in the after
noon, and dropped thirteen strokes
from his mornings score.
Captain HUMPHREYS and Bott did the
best work for the English students.
Humphries was far off his game in the
morning, and took 81, which hurt his
teams chances, but he came back we'll
in the afternoon and played in his true
form. Bott had two good, steady rounds
of 81 and n.
