CLOSE WINS STUD SECOND ROUND OF
 CLUB GOLF MEET
Three 1 Up Matches Post ed Yesterday - Swee- ney, Horan, Alcorn, Durfee, Campbell, Tut tie Still in Play

Surprises, shocks, upsets and 50 forth became quite common after yesterdays golf scores were in at the Waterbury Country club. To begin with, the present tourney medalist. W. M. Goss, who held the 1929 club tiara and J. H. Graham, Merriman memorial trophy winner this week, were handed ungarnish- ed defeats which eliminated them from the title play.
 W. J. Sweeney, at one time from that great little nest of athletes, Naugatuck, Conn.,, gave all and sundry the we'll known reason to query ''Well, what do you think of that?" as he steadily putted his way to a convincing and victory over MT. Goss, who but two days ago turned in a 77 for the qualifying round, which immediately made him a strong choice to repeat his title-winning ways of two years ago. However, no one reckoned with Bill Sweeney who always played good, sound but not fiashy golf. To-day Sweeney was paired with J. H. Alcorn who also caused a mild quake when he handed J. H. Graham, the Me-riman cup winner of last Saturday, a and 6 setback. Sweeney and Alcorn hook up to-day.
