Among the groups Of links fans
who gathered in the club house and
along the fairways. it was whispered
that the younger generation would be
too much for their elders.
Paul Cook Favored
And dominating the discussions OF
chances was the name Of Paul Cook.
Experts and dubs alike agreed that
the Capital City stars steady play
would prove too much for the Minot
veteran.
Turning TO the Fowler -Nierling
battle. again youth was favored.
Fowler's rapidly improving play
around the nine hole course was con-
sidercd just a trifle better than any,
thing the Jamestown veteran had
shown.
The 1880 semifinals is q finale OF
champions.
Fowler holds two titles taken the
last two years. Barrett won the crown
in 1925. Nierling was runnerup to
DR.. r. w. Pote of Fargo In 1924. Cook
has twice been state tourney medalist
and holds the Western North Dakota
and Missouri Slope titles this year.
Cook Breaks Record
Cooks match with A. Gilbreath. 10
year old Grand Forks club champion,
yesterday was easily the feature bat
tie Of the tournament SO far. Cook
completely squelched Gilbreath to
win Z and 6 after establishing a new
course record of SO. He broke his
own course record of 81 scored Sat-
urday.
Barrett pounded out a 6 up victory
v c Dick Fowler OF Fargo by con-
slStently cqualing par. The Fargo
player. younger brother OF the cham
pion. was nervous and cratic with
his irons.
Bill Fowler earned his way into
the select circle by downing DR.. j. r.
Mckenzie Of New Rockford. 1 up.
Mckenzie was unable to match Fow-
lcr's better than par play on the Sec
ord nine after they had rounded the
first nine with the Fargoan having
a one hole advantage.
Nicrling Beat Favorite
Nicrling busted one of the fayoritcs
by staging a sensational uphill battle
against George Warner, youthful
Edgewood golf club star Of Fargo.
Four down at the end Of the first
nine. Nierling bcttered his opponents
play on the second nine to win at
the last flag.
Jimmy Slattcry. another Bismarck
boy. lost out when he failed to play
the consistent game that Bill Fowler
displayed. the Fargoan coping the
match. 6 and A.
