mer equalled his first round to be-
come medalist. Walter cut off a

Youth Defeats Veteran
When match play started Mon
day Afternoon the players left the
tee in foursomes to expedite mat
tiers and the initial pair presented
the best attraction, with Moyni-
han winning on the home green,
/ up, after being 3 up at differ
ent times on BONNER, who could
not keep up the pace he had set
for himself in the medal play.
Tallman, after starting poorly,
finished with a string of pars and
brides on the first nine for 81,
as did Wallin, who was l down.
1t was Wallin's sensational fin
ish that provided the thrill in this
one, the Willmar youth taking the
last three holes to even the match
on the 18th, and then winning the
hectic playoff on the first hole. 1t
was an almost unheard of thing
for any man to take four holes in
a row like this from Tallman. On
the extra hole Wallin had taken a
five, with a lost ball, as Tallman
took six when his ball rested be-
side a stump in an unplayable lie.
A decision on the lost ball penalty
in favor of ,Wallin decided the
match.
In the other first round matches
of the title flight Began had de-
feated DIR. Northrup of Bemidji
and Tyson had eliminated Long
ley of Little Falls.
Walter Strong in Semi-Finals
1t was in his semi-inal with
Wallin going out that Moynihan
shot his best round, slipping to a
80 to stay 3 up at the turn after
being even par for six holes to 60
five up. In this match the feat
ure came when Wallin cut the
champs advantage to one, after
which five holes were halved,
Moynihan coming home on the
500 yard final with a neat par 5
to win. In the other semi-fnal
Tyson had crushed Began by 60
ing under par coming in and win
ming on the 18th, a and 3.
Wins Championship
The championship match, start
ing at one O'Clock Tuesday noon,
drew a fair-sized gallery in spite
of the light rain, but any expected
display of sensational golf by the
finalists failed to materialize. The
match was close all the way with
Moynihan taking the first hole
with par 4. Tyson had pulled
his tee shot and taken 5.
The next three holes We're halv-
ed, with par tours on the second
dog-leg, of which the Falls course
has about half dozen, and one
over par on the 9Th, double dog
leg of APO yards, as Tyson took
6 to go two down. He got this
back on the short 9th, with a to
Moynihan's d. On the 7th Ty-
son sunk a long putt for a half in
par tours and the 9Th was halved
also in one over perfect figures.
The gallery was. given a treat
on the 9th, when Moynifian need
ed a long brassie after his tee shot
was short of Tyson's. T He crashed
the clubhead through for a beau
tiful shot of 270 yards, the ball
covering the flag all athe way and
stopping at the far edge Of the
greensE. His par to Tyson's 6, put
him 2 up again. The medals for !
the nine We're 40 and az. John
+. McGoyern, covering the tourney
for the Minneapolis Journal, snap
ped the fnaists before they step
ped off the green.
Both took fives .on.the 10th, af-
ter hooking their tee shots into
the trees on the left. Moynihan
executed al difficult shot in play
ing the ball back onto the fairway
when his ball was against a
stump. He swung lefthanied, US
ing the back of his mid-iron. The
18th and 18th were halved in five
and four, Walter sinking a long
putt on the 18th. He trimmed one
on the 18th and shared 6 with {
Tyson.
On the 18th .Tyson's birdie four
gave him back one as Moynihan
took 6, but a long putt on the
