SARAZE''N, HAVERS
ENGAGE: IN TILT
AT WORLD HONOR
First Half of Match i'm
North; Second Half ,
l.. A.

LAKE MERGED COUNTRY
CLUB, Calf, Jan. 25.-One of the
greatest 72-hole two-some golf
matches ever held IN the United
States since golf took out its Ame?-
lean naturalization papers, was to
be started over the Lake Merced
course today.
Gen Sarazen, winner of the Amer
lean professional championship OF
1929 and Arthur Havers, winner Of
the 1928 British open championship,
were to engage in what is generally
hailed as tilt fo the unofficial
championship Of the world.
The match, arranged by cable last
fall, was expected by British golfers
to be played over an English course,
but Havers winter tour of America,
and the fact that me British and
open tournament are played SO
close together as to divide the field
of possible entries, resulted in an
agreement to stage the play in Cali
fCi md.
Sarazen Never Defeated
Sarazen has never been defeated
in an important single handed
match since he won the American
open at Skokie in 1922 as one of the
darkest horses that ever. tcc,l i
ball. Last year he won from Walter
Hagen i'll sensational extra hole
final.
Havers' climb to fame has been rs
romantic as that of Sarazen. He
came to the front three years ago,
slumpcd in 1922, and then last year
performed the feat that made him
the golflng idol of the tight iltte
isle.' In the face of stiffest COM
petition ever figuring in British
open, he won at Troon and then to
demonstrate that it was not an acei-
dent, came out on top in the Glcnc-
agles match play championship two
weeks later. The British believe
this hard hitting, modest golfer is
fit successor to the great Harry
Vardon.
Today's play is the first half of
the match, 18 holes this forenoon,
18 more this afternoon. The sec
ond 36 will be played Sunday on
the Hillcrest Country Club at Los
