IERRE HAUIE, IND, July H.
The ordeal of the qualifying round
over, members of the Indiana State
Womens Golf Association today
settled down to match play over the
Terre Haute Country Club course,
and daily elimination will determine
the 1923 State champion on Friday.
Sixteen of the starting field of
sixty-nine qualified for the cham
pionship flight Monday. Among
them was Miss Elizabeth Dunn of
Avalon, Indianapolis, who is defend
ing her crown for the second success
sive year. 1t is rarely the case that
a champion wins three times in a
row and past history is not dis
regarded in this tournament gossip.
Miss Dunn did not play her regular
game Monday when she qualified
with 88.
Medal Honors Shared
Mrs. Robert Gipson, of Elkhart,
came back after a years lay-off and
shared the low medal honors with
Mrs. Alfred Bulson, the star OF Fl.
Wayne. Both had 86s.
If there was any surprise in the
list of the players who qualified, 1t
probably was that of the elderly
Mrs. A. A. McClamrock, Of Frank
fort, now in her sixty-first year. She
batted the gutta percha around the
difficult course in 95. Her niece,
Miss Nary Gorham, was able to
turn the IL in 104 which relegated
her to the second fight.
The championship flight contains
the names of five former champions
including Miss Dunn. The associa-
ton was formed in 1921. The others
are Mrs. Gipson Of Elkhart, the
former Naomi Hull; Mrs. Scott
Snyder of TT. Wayne, who was Miss
Hills Drayer; Mrs. Fred Holmes OF
Lafayette, and Mrs. Ben Stevenson
of indianapolis.

were tailed up it WAS discovered
