~ AKMONT, Pa, June 28.-George
T. Dunlap, jr., was only q
J Princeton student this morn
ing, but this afternoon he was
a super-golfer, coming from behind In
one of the most sensational rallies in
any first-grade competition to win the
intercollegiate championship of America.
He defeated Lawrence Moller. Notre
Dame, up and 4 to play.
After the East Orange, N. j., youth
had been on the defensive all day
against the steady golf Of Moller he
rose In his might in the afternoon to
win seven straight holes and change his
status from down to 2 up.
After that he was never headed Mol

Ill, refused to crack, but he could not
stand UP against the barrage of IS and
IS laid down by the Tiger from Old
Nassau.
Starts or Poorly.
Dunlap went to luncheon four down
after the first 10 holes of the 36-hole
match. His start in the afternoon
round could hardly have been worse.
For the first time In a weeks play he
sent his tee-shot at the nineteenth flying
out of bounds and with a penalty of
stroke and distance he was after his
second drive. With the second ball he
scored a par 5, but with the penalty
he was charged with T. while Moller
was down IN par and was up.
There was no thought then that the
big gallery was about to see near
miracle of golf. Had any one suggested
that the Princeton boy would not lose
another hole he would have been
laughed to Scorn.
George played the twentieth In par 4
while his Notre Dame opponent took
three puts for a S. At the twenty
first Dunlap bagged birdie and fol-
lowed with q birdie 4 at the 536-yard
twenty-second. A par was Just
enough to win the twenty-third and a
birdie 2 at the l87-yard twenty-fourth
squared the match.
Gains on Twenty fifth.
A par at the twenty-flfth and Dun
lap went up for the first time during
the days play. He increased his adj
vantage one hole by putting his tee shot
on the 253-yard twenty-sixth and after
2 half in par IS at the twenty-seventh
the homeward trek was started for the
last time, with Dunlap 2 up.

Moller pitched well out, but Dunlap
elected to run the ball through the
sand with a putter. It stopped eight
feet from the cup and he holed the
putt for a par 5, to for Moller.
At the short thirty-frst Dunlaps
iron from the tee left him pin high,
but Moller's ball found a trap. George
holed out for par 3 while Larry took
4 and the beginning Of the end was
in sight.
AT the deciding hole Moller was far
in front from the tee. Dunlap pitched
on. 20 feet from the cup, while Mollers
great approach rolled to within six feet
Of the pin. Dunlap sent his putt spin
ming home for q birdie and Moller
missed for the half.
One Under Par.
For the IA holes played In the after
noon Dunlap was one stroke under par
on one Of the most exacting golf courses
in existence.
Dunlap is the first Princeton man to
win the championship since j. Simpson
Dean took the title in 1921. The first
championship, played in 1897, was won
by Princetonian, Louis P. Bayard.
Moller is the FIRST Notre Dame stu
dent to play in the championship. For
a newcomer he did well, reaching the
final Of the championship, winning the
qualifying medal and being elected
president OF the association.
