In winning the final match the
junior Mackenzie did not play as
we'll as he did in the morning to de-
feat his father, nor did he play as
well as in his round of 72 Friday
morning. Roland entered the Wash
ington, Indian Spring, Chevy Chase
and Columbia tournaments, winning
them all and annexing the medal
rounds at Washington and Indian
Spring. He was defeated by Voigt in

Mackenzie Wins Impressively.
Ranked by all critics of the game
locally as the finest golfer ever turned
out in the amateur ranks about the
city, Roland's victory yesterday in
the Columbia classic-one of the big
Journeys of the Sfason-places him
without question at the peak of the
amateur golfers here. Every golfer
of note who has competed in tourna-
ments near Washington this year,
with the single exception of {. j..
| Dunphy, played in the Columbia
tourney and Roland won impres-
| sively.
His golf in the final round was a
| little off his usually great game, but
when he needed fine shot he made
| il, proving again the ability to bring
| off a remarkable shot in a pinch which
| he showed at Merton last year when
he carried George Won Elm to the
| thirty-seventh hole in the amateur
championship.
Agnew played very we'll, with the
exception of a few glaringly bad
spots, notably on the fifth and the
| time outranged by the long driving
Mackenzie and was pushed to hold
his own against the far-reaching
shots of his opponent.
| Agpew jumped into an early lead,
winning two OF the first three holes
through slightly inaccurate play by
Mackenzie. Agnew took the second
and third holes in par figures. Mac
| KenZie squared the match at the long
sixth. went into the lead at the eighth,
| stood up on the tenth tee and was
never headed thereafter. even though
| he came TO the eighteenth only dormie
l up Mackenzie was 70 for the round
against an approximate "a for Agnew,
who picked up his ball on two holes
where the hole gas clearly win for
| Mackenzie.
| Agnew Away Well.
| Roland hit very long ball on the
| first hole, but put his second shot
over the green and only secured a
| half, although Agnew's second shot
was far short of the green. Roland
again hit very long tee shot at the
second hole with spoon. but looked
up on his second shot and missed il
badly. playing his third from short of
the ditch in front of the green. Agnew
| won with a par 4. Roland took three
puts on the third hole after being
on the green in two shots, and Agnew
won with a par to become up.
| They halved the short fourth, when
Mackenzie's tee shot found the trap
at the right edge of the green, while
Agnew was to the right of the trap in
the rough. Both pitched out on the
green and were down in the regulation
two puts. Agnew lost the long fifth
| when he topped his second shot, put
| his fourth shot over the green and
was barely on in 5, while Roland was
one in shots with chance for a 4.
| Mackenzie reached the sixth green
in two shots. while Agnew half top
ped his pitch shot third, the Colum-
bia youngster winning with a par
| to square the match. They secured
| the regulation par As on the seventh
and Roland went into the lead with a
Iwell played 3 at the short eighth, al
| though his tee shot was over the
green. Agnews tee shot was in the
trap at the left edge of the green.
| Mackenzie Two Up at Turn.
Rolands tee shot was hit so far
on the long ninth that he got home
hole with par 4 when Agnew, fail
ing to get home III 2, took to get
down. His win of the ninth put Mac
| Kenzie up at the turn.
The District champion overplayed
his second shot at the tenth, his ball
going into the road back of the green.
His chip back was 10 feet past the
pin and he missed the putt for a half
when Agnew, on in 2, was down in
a. Roland got home with two fine
shots at the eleventh and won the hole
to again become up when Agnew
failed to reach the green with his
second shot.
| Roland played the long twelfth in
bad style, pushing his tee shot to the
right, playing his second shot safe,
and putting his third short in the trap
at the left of the green.
Agnew won the hole with par 5
when Mackenzie's fourth shot was
barely out of, the trap and he got to
the green in 5. They halved the
short thirteenth in par IS, although
Agnew's tee shot was to the right
| of the green. He chipped up and
| sank a good putt for a half
MacKenZie's second shot to the
fourteenth hole went down the hill to
the right Of the green, but he holed
| in when Agnew failed to get home
| in 2 shots. Mackenzie holing a TO-
foot putt for his par.
| Two up and four to go, Mackenzie
topped his tee shot badly at the fif-
teenth, his ball jumping the ditch in
front of the tee, while Agnew hit a
