 Noigt Qualities
 George Noigt, the New York ia vorite, finished with 7S for a to- tai of 154, safely in the qualifying fold.
 Harrison R. (Jimmy) Johnston, of St. Paul, the defending title hold CT, pulled himself back from the brink of disaster 10 score a brilliant 73, three over par, and cHnch his qualifying place with a 36-hole to- tai of 15G.
 Johnston was out in 37 and back in 36, shooting five birdies to offset the few mistakes he made. His putt ing, which came close to knocking him out of the tournament yester- day, was much improved today. Just when he needed to save strokes. Jimmy sank a five-footer for Rrdie ? on the 18th and then a remarkable putt, from nearly 70 feet, for another birdie on the 14th.
