The gallery was increased by ad. ditional club members on the 10th hole. Dave drove to the 200 yard mark and Clarence's ball was si yards ahead. Dave sliced his bras sic into a trap way short Of the green. Clarence took the hole in par and conceded Dave his putt for 6 five. 4-5. All even.
 On the next three holes Clarence suddenly showed signs of cracking and if Dave had taken advantage oi his brothers lapse he could have sewed up the match on the 1lth, l.th and | Eth holes. From the iith tee Clarence shanked mashie shot through the trees to the foot of the 11th tee. Dave hit Into the turf of the tee and his/ ball skied to drop on the edge of the trap short of the green. He had failed to use the opening advantage. Clarence ran his ball onto the green over rough ground through an opening between ;he trees. Dave got out of the trap but both needed two more strokes to hole out. But at that. Dave had to call to his aid all of his putting skill to halve the hole as Clarence had laid him q stymie IA. All even.
 Clarence was past the 200 yard marker with his drive and Dave was q little short. He hooked his sec ond hole high but in the rough be- low tlle bank to the left of the pin. Clarence looked up and his ball ran through the middle trap and was short of the green. He pitched 12 to the right of the pin. Dave also clipped far over the hole. Clarence then got his first long putt and scored par. Daye did not sink his putt and was one down tor the first time during the match. 4-5. Clar- ence 1 up.
 On the short 18th Clarence was again guilty of failing to keep his eve on the ball and dubbed his shot into the rough in front of the tee. Dave was just short of the green. Clarence was on in two but too far from the pin 10 sink his putt. Dave chipped to within six inches of the cup to even the match.f 3-4.
 Playing from the front tee on the i4th Dave sliced his shot but got q long ball. Clarence was far down the middle of the fairway. Dave was short on his approach and Clarence's ball took lucky roll off the upper bank to the left Of the green and ran 10 within four feet of the hole. Dave gave an exhibition of nerve on his next shot by hitting he hole square in the middle but luck was not with him and the ball did not drop. Then he had to stand by and so one down when his brother sank his putt.
 But his nerve was not broken and rlarence still had some poor shots left to get out of his system. The ,inulist droN. just over the trap on the short 18th. Dave went to the 200 yard marker from the tee. Clar- vncc was past the pin 20 feet on his approach. Dave played a pitch and run shot that just missed the pin. After his brother had come up close he took the hole with one putt. 3-4. All even.
 Both played long tee shots on the 10th with Clarence ahead and Dave just in the fairway to the right. A high approach took his ball to with in nine feet of the pin. Clarence was short of the green and Dave scored his fourth birdie to win the hole. 3-4. lpaye l up.
