Youth Defeats Youth
Crisman, the star University OF Ala
bans golfer. who held the state cham-
pionship year, fell by the wayside BY
the act Of golfer as youthful as he,
for It was Hillhouse. himself, who elm
mated Crisman, 3 and 2. He played o
nnasterful brand OF golf In 50 doing,
while Crisman WAS q little off on his
game. However, Il was rather . de-
cisive score by which be defeated the
decisive than that by which jerks Gill
lem won his semi-ffnaI match from
Bob Munger, for the score there was
also 3 and 2,
But It was by the barest OF margins
that Crisruan survived as far as the
semi finals, for BY all lawsof averages
he should have fallen In the third
round before John Levert. In their
match Friday morning they teed off
for the seventeenth hole all square.
Levert laid his ynashie shot three feet
from the pin. Crislnan was 80 feet
away. It was then that the tide Of
battle swung out Of balance, for Girls
man holed beautiful putt Cor par
three and Levert missed his putt OF
three feet. Starting for tse final hole
with Crtsman one UP. the champion
was 80 feet past the pin on his fourth,
while Levert was dead In three. Again
the fates interviewed and Lcvert's put
ting hand was unsteady, for three times
he putted for the hole before he sank
his ball. Crisnau was down In two
puts, haiving the final hole and vim
ming the match.
The short game OF the majority Of
stars In the tournament suffered some

Of scoring was toward the decisive class,
and only two matches vent over the
