PEBBLE BEACH, Cal, Sept. s.
For the first time in six years the
national amateur golf championship
reached the quarter final stage to-
day without the presence Of Robert
Tyre Jones Jr. among the contest
ants.
The downfall of the champion oc-
Cured in the opening round
Wednesday at the hands Of an I'M
known youngster, Johnny Goodman,
of Omaha.
By One Up
Johnny turned the trick by get
ting the jump on Bobby and piling
up a lead in the first few holes while
the king of the amateurs was play
ing Indifferent golf. In the final
battle through the stretch it was
Johnny instead of Bobby who had
enough on the ball to win by one
up, the match ending on the eight
eenth green.
Jones' medal play for this round
was rs, one better than that of his
conqueror. This was possible be-
cause at two Of the holes Bob beat
the Nebraskan by two strokes while
in each case Johnny's margin of
victory at any given hole was only
a single stroke.
Little Is Dark Horse
AS the second amateur to defeat
the Albanian in national competi-
ton in six years, Johnny Goodman
enjoys the dubious blessing of golf
ing fame today, but as far as the
present championship is concerned
the little Nebraska boys triumph
was short lived. Johnny himself
was promptly eliminated in the Sec
ond round by w. Lawson Little OF
San Francisco, who assumed the role
of dark horse among the quarter
finaliStS.
Pairings for the thirty-six-hole
matches today we're Cyril Tollcy,
Great Britain, VS.. DR.. o. F. Willing,
Portland, Ore; Jess SWeetser, New
York VS.. Chandler Egan, Medford,
Ore; George Voight, New York, VS..
Harrison R. Johnston, Dellwood,
Mimi, and Francis Ouimet, Auburn
dale, Mass, VS. w. Little Jr., San
Francisco.
Will Lose $4,000
OF the above, Egan, Ouimet and
Sweetser are former national anna
teur champions, while Tolley is the
present British title holder. Chan
dler Egan won the amateur title a
quarter of a century ago and re-
peated the following year. Ouimet
scored in 1914 and Sweetser in 1922
The quarter final field is repre-
sentative of the worlds best anna
teur golf, but California is discon-
solate. The folks out here wanted
to see Bobby Jones and they didn't
care how often. 1t is easy to est1-
mate that the absence of the At
lantan from the tournament will
make a difference of $4,000 in the
receipts.
George Voight and Cyril Tolley

flights and ace likely to meet in the
final round. The British champion
was "hot'' Wednesday. He breezec
through Two matches, defeating
Eddie Held. Canadian champion,
and 6, and Fay Coleman OF Lo'
Angeles 8 and 6.
Moe Eliminated
Voight was in splendid form az
young Don Moe, his second rounc
victim, will testify. George hat
little trouble in disposing Of Vinc'
Dolph of Portland in the frs
round and then reeled off his frs
nine against the other Oregon DO,
in "a strokes, two under par. Dor
Moe is a grand golfer, but he coulc
not match that pace and sue
cumbed, 2 and l.
Johnny Lehman, Gary, Ind, ex
Purdue star and Big Ten cham
pion, won his f1rst-round tilt wit!
John McHugh, 4 and 3, but was de
feated by Jess Sweetser, ex-cham
pion. in the second round, 6 and 4.
