which stage gun drives and the pretty putting to touch off the cham plon's work brought Guilford the gold medal. On the home green. which he reached In two, he had to lift to get clear of soggy drain then laid down a 2o-footer which he missed by. incnes. His play was marked by his famous facility of getting out er trouble with the least possible effect on his score. The story of the four teenth hole was the story of his .sue-'s cess. Driving to the rough from the tee, he was in the rough again with his iron shot. Hammering the ball with a mashie, 1t topped a bunker but rolled on the greens faf.fs lowing him to putt for a birdie four.
 Going out, the champion also found the rough several times but his pe-.s coveries and butts bordered onseti1e.s marvellous. His long butts on thAs' fourth and eighth greens drew rounds of applause from the gallery ethaes trudsed with him, some under@ uni-s. brellas. On the ninth shis chip shot from the rough landed within stwo inches of the cup for his par fouts.~
 But the breaks were not all with the siege gun. On the eleventh green, of which par is five, he was on in two and missed an eagle three when his 10 foot putt lowered on the edge of the cup. He made the birdie. As~s4
