Alabama has annexed the title OF
Southern intercollegiate golf cham
pion.
The winning of the championship
came with his decisive victory of 4-3
over G. F. Lamprecht, Gulf States
champion in 33 holes.
The last round was by no means
what might be termed a perfect
match. in the opinion Of the ex-
perts though Lamprecht made one
and two professional plays while the
gaging of his long drives was off.
He failed to develop the fine quality
of golf which he exhibited in his
previous matches.
Crenshaw put forth good playing

made only two holes. He captured the
eighth on par 3, one stroke unoer
the Alabama student, by dropping
the ball in the cup with 1o-foot
put. after a fairly good recovery
from the rough.
The Tulane champions feature play
was on the difficult fourteenth hole,
which he had never made on the par
before. A magnificent drive
planted the ball directly upon the
green and 2 puts won the hole for
him, making him dormie four. The
fifteenth was halved on and the
match ended there.
Crenshaw won the first holes,
the first falling to him easily after

sixth, eighth, nineth, tenth, eleventh,
thirteenth and fifteenth. Crenshaw
made the Is holes in 81 and his part
