Columbia Club golfers, led by the
two low gross score holders of the
tournament, George Lance and Jack
Bixler of Lafayette, each with 75's,
defeated the Indianapolis Athletic
Club team for the second consecu-
tive year at Broadmoor Wednesday
and retained possession of the SILL
600 jeweled George j. Marott
trophy.
The Columbians were able to
muster twenty-five low gross scores
for a grand total of 2,103, five
strokes under the Athletic Club
boys, who took 2,108. This is the
closest battle yet between the two
teams, who are to play for the cup
over a ten-year period of time. The
team winning six times will be
permanent poSSessor.
The first year I. A. G. won the
