who have been engaged in competition
ever since the establishment of the
two institutions, are in the athletic
iinelight once more-rather, still.
Jesse Sweetser, golfer of quality and
brslliancy and present holder of the
intercollegiate golf championship, will
defend his laurels to-day at the Green
wich Country Club against the stall
wart Princetonian j. Simpson Dean
in what promises to be one of the best
amateur struggles held in this section
this season.
These two inks sharpshooters golfed
their way into the final round yester-
day by winning two splendid victories
each Sweetser's victims were Buffing-
ton, of Yale, and the fine playing Walk
or, of Columbia. Deantook Jimmie Ward,
OF Williams, and 7. B. Morris, of Cam
bridge, the last Of the English sur
yivors, over the course at such a fast
pace he left both dazed just around
the turn. His margin of victory in
each contest was z up and to play,
quite sufficient to demonstrate mis- su-
periority.
Sweetser had much harder Job of
II getting his double-header. In the
morning his team-mate offered the
title-holder stubborn resistance and
carried him all the way to the last
green. Walker in the semi-fnal also
Kept pressing the Yale star to the fin
lsh. But Sweetser won, and that, after
all, is what counts in the strife for
honors.
Sweetser Cool Customer
This young Sweetser is cool Gus
toner. He showed that in his bout with
alker. The Columbian had plenty of
chances to win, for he was playing fully
as well, if not bit better, up to the
green, as his rival. In the morning
walker in defeating J. A. Bott, of Cam
nrlaSe, had played whirlwind golf from
the sixth hole on, and it looked as if
ne would probably go through to the
final
But temperament plays a prominent
part in this old game and often sdper-
seoes mechanical skill, especially as the
green is approached. As mentioned.
Walker did that on the third green
also on the fifth green, again at the
eleventh and on the thirteenth and six
teenth. Together with his mistakes on
me Ialrway, the few that he made, these
mlscues proved costly. Walker was driy
ing beautiful and playing his iron shots
exceptionally well, but his putting prac-
ticaliy was his ruination.
Both played the first two holes ner-
Iectly, but at the third the Columbian
missed chance for a win by taking
sntee puts. Sweetser, incidentally, did
Inc the same thing himself couple of
times, but managed to retrieve himsejf
on some OF his other chances. Walker
took the lead at the fourth. plavinp
tight down the line to the cup willis
his rival took three puts.
BUT walker took three puts on the
next next green and everything was as it
Walker got into q lot Of trouble driv-
ing the rough and playing to bunker
On ms second, while Sweetser took the
aole IN par figures and the lead
oMeetser showed some poor putting of
ms own on the next two holes, losing
both and falling behind again He
ives one down at the turn.
Halye Tenth Hole
They halved the tenth hole, but at
the eleventh Sweetser SQUARED the
match when the Morningside student
played short on his approach and took
Tor the hole. Walker had to plav
out OF trap at the twelfth, but haived
the hole when Sweetser missed a
chance by being short on his chip shot.
Both got par 5s on the thirteenth,
but at the long fourteenth Walker, un-
fortunately, after getting beautiful
drive was out of bounds on his brassie
shot. Sweetser, even before Walker
mad played, being in the lead, wisely
decided to play safely and used his
lyon on his second shot. And, although
ne pulled his third to a trap in the far
corner, he was able to win the hole.
That left the Yale player one hole to
the good. Both got fine IS on the
fifteenth, but Walker missed grand
chance to square the match on the
sixteenth; !sweetser half topped his
drive, but hit the ball well enough to
carry to the fairway. Walker got a
wonderful drive and was home in Q,
while Sweetser caught trap on his
second, but got fine out. He ran his
approach putt dead and when Walker
fell down on his four-footer was able
to halve the hole.
Walker pulled his second to a trap
on the seventeenth, while Sweetser, on
in 2 and down in 4, won the hole
and the match, 2 and 1.

and down struggle The incoming
round was also nip and tuck but at the
seventeenth Sweetser sank his putt,
whore Burlington missed, and won the
match.
Walker and Bott had a most inter
esting contest Walker winning by 5
