a splendid SO; Mitchell had "A,
Duncan IS and Meyering SO.
A survey OF the play at least re-
-sals one thing. the long drivers do
not always win. Evans was notlc-
ably the short driver OF the four
some by froEI 10 10 30 yards but his
second shot was invariably dead 20
the pin giving him back the ad-
vantage on the green. Evans has
shortened up his back swing con
siderably and has sacrificed dis
lance for accuracy but his score
tells the story and an analysis OF
his tee shots shows that he was in
the rough but once in SO holes, on
the thirteenth hole on the morning
round. Meyerinr repeatedly out
drove Mitchell even when Mitchell
was giving the ball all he had which
puts Bert IN the class with the long
drivers OF the country. but Bert had
his troubles on the greens and
holed but one long putt during the
day. Duncan plays all departments
81 the game we'll and is a much
better player than his form OF yes
terday would indicate. Mitchell al
so was of form and failed 10 play
up 20 his usual speed But this does
not detract any from the popular
victory or Meyering and Evans
Evans was unbeatable and his game
OF yesterday would have won in
any company.
