BY JUNO KINERK

The 79 score of "Chick" Evans
Is the object which the remain
ing half of the field is striving
to better at Columbia today as
the qualifying play in the club
= championship comes to close.
Evans was out in 40 and back in
80, but the score was made under
what might be mildly called ad-
verse conditions.
Typically fall weather with a
chilling, biting wind that numbed
fingers and hands made scoring
difficult enough, but as a last
straw the committee decided play
would be under summer rules.
Thus members who had been tee
ing I'D their balls through the
fairways for the last three months
found that they were getting
much more swinging exercise
than they had during the fore
going period.
Closely following Evans for
medal hOnOrs in the first
days play was Comdr. A. II.
Douglass, who had an 81,
while L. w. Lauduck and

b. Lyddane were the leaders In
the second flight, each bagg1ng
an "a. In the third flight John

division. Col. P. T. Hayne led
the next flight with 86, j. H.
Selby topped the fifth flight with
80, and in the final bracket F.
M. Burklin, Newman Little and
Frank Govern all had 100.
