just when it looked like the
qualifying medal in the club
championship at eColumbia was
Paul Frizzell's, along came One
Putt Norman III. Frost, out Of the
trap alongside the eighteenth
green, to ram down a five and
thereby score an identical card to
that Of Frizzell, 37-39-76. This
pair will play off for the medal
Sunday following the completion
Of match play tomorrow.
With the medal within their
grasp, both Frizzell and Frost
gambled on the seventeenth hole,
each trying to reach the plateau
green with his drive. Each was
unsuccessful and each failed TO
hold the green with his subsequent
pitch up the high bluff. Conse-
Quently, each took a six. Frizzeu
had no fewer than five one-putt
greens on his trip to offset FroSt's
acer on the last hole.
Young Jack Powell would
have been decidedly in the
running for the medal had it

is as it is. But Haines would have
looked better on the ridge yester-

confidence, because he couldn't
have looked worse.
It doesn't seem possible that
the Cardinals can continue as bad
as they were yesterday. Not and
go on living, that is. In the first

they had yesterday was the htters.

Gahby Street, better known to his
