FEUD SPIRIT MARKS
SEM|-F|NAL round
MoreIand-S and Couch
Lehman Bring Tournament
to Exciting Climax.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ OCKFORD, Ill, August 20
- A pair of golfing "natu-
4 \ rails" eagerly awaited by
rabid enthusiasts in Texas,
California and Chicago, brought
the Western amateur champion
ship struggle to thrilling climax
today.
Out on the billowy champion
ship trail of the Rockford Country
Club course, Gus Moreland OF
Dallas faced Charlie Seaver OF
Los Angeles, and Johnny Lehman
faced the shots of his home town
rival from Chicago, the phleg-
matte Ira Couch.
From the standpoint of heated goit
arguments, tire championship battle
couldn't have shifted to better semi
final. bracket. Moreland and his Texas
followers were out to prove that the
United States Golf Association made
mistake in selecting the hard-driving
Stanford foot ball player for the Walker
Gun team instead of himself. Couch
was out to avenge the 4-and-2 defeat
that Lehman handed him in the West
ern championship final at Beverly III
1896
MO matter the result of either match,
~ a whoop was certain from the al
fected regions, which regard the
quartet of young shotmakers as the pest
in TIE new crop.
AS far as one experienced golfer was
concerned, Seaver Was clnch to turn
back the putting demon from Texas.
And that was 43-year-old Arthur Bart
lett. Ottumwa, Iowa, court reporter.
Bartlett, who has won 35 minor cham
pionships IN his long career, ran up
against Seaver yesterday and didn't
know what happened to him. The
Stanford player burned up the course
with a record-tying &c to take 1O-up
lead and then breeZed back in the after
noon to win ultimately by lopslded
score of IL and 10. On his victory
march over the rolling fairways, Seaver
was four strokes under par.
T EHMAN was a heavy favorite over
IL Couch in the 36-hole skirmish OF
the lower bracket. He has been
shooting the best golf of the tournament
except for Seaver's rousing round OF
yesterday. In winning the medal the
former Big Ten champion knitted
rounds of 71-67 together to set a new
qualifying mark Of 1877 shots, lower
than that established by the veteran
Dexter Cummings of Chicago in 1925.
Lehman was off his game yesterday i'll
defeating Don Armstrong, Aurora, Ill,
and 4, but has a habit of coming
back with smarter round than ever.
It was the fourth time in four years
that he reached the semi-finals of the
Western. Couch, one of the coolest
figures in the amateur game, overcame
seven stymies in his quarterfi final match
against Johnny Banks, Western Junior
title holder, to win, 4 and 8.

Odds 3,93l,2OO to l
Against Sarazen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CT. PAUL, August 26.-It may be
- just as well as far as Gene Sara
zen Is concerned that he didn't
make the 1892 P. G. A. tournament
opening at Keller course here Tues
day.
The mathematicians didn't give
him much of chance, they figured
that If "old man par" didn't get
Gene, "old percentage" probably
would.
Both Of the obstructionists had
dug in at Keller in ramparts behind
80 new traps and a wicked rough,
with fresh challenges from every
bunker Haunting encouragement
and disaster.
But here's the cold figuring on
Genes chance. With a University
of Minnesota math professor for
authority, the boys had reckoned
that the ratio was 1891 200 to l
against Sarazen or any one player
taking all three major 1882 titles
the British Open, the American Open
and the P. G. A. That had been
whitfield down by Gene in bucking
the odds in the two open engage
ments.

DEORIA. Ill, August 26-The wom-
L ems Western golf championship
tournament today had been re-
duced to four survivors. and Mrs. Opal
Hill of Kansas City, the defending title
holder, still was favored to repeat.
She had to overcome terrific bid
by Jean Armstrong of Chicago yester-
day, but won out on the twenty-first
hole. Her opponent today was Mrs.
Tom Wallace of Tulsa, Okla, who won
her quarter final match from Mary
Elizabeth Ford of Kansas City, 2 and l.
In the other penultimate match were
Mrs. Roy Greene of Glendale, Calf,
and Lucille Robinson of Des Moines,
Iowa. Mrs Greene broke up brilliant
rally by Mrs. Melvin Jones of Chicaso
to win, up. after having tive-hole
advantage at the end of the first nine.
Miss Robinson carried on for the
younger players by defeating one of the
tournament favorites, Mrs. ]. Walter
Boyer of Tulsa, Okla, 3 and 2. Mrs.
Beyer holder of the transmississippi
and Oklahoma State championships

of the tournament and was able to

titles. He failed to qualify from his
own district in New York, and will
be absent unless one of the IA quail
ifiers in the district fails to compete.
OF the contenderS who success
fully passed district qualifying tests,
Harry Cooper of Glen Ellyn, Ill, per-
haps commands the highest respect.
Winner Of the st. Paul open in 1880
and second to Horton Smith a year
later, Cooper has found the Keller
course well adapted to his style of
play, and despite the added difficult
ties presented this year, it probably
will prove less hazardous to him
than to most of the other entrants.
Another qualifier who has found
a liking for the course is Big Ed
Dudley of Concordville, Pa, holder
of the Keller course record OF 65,
seven strokes below par.
No P. G.. A. tournament would be
quite complete without Walter Ha-
gen of Detroit, who again will be
present, determined to add another
title to his list of five P. 6. A.
crowns. Admittedly superior IN

LANCER'S POSITION

is He Radical?' Is Query Com.
ing to State From Eastern

Judgment to Jeopardize

Now that the smoke OF the state
campaign has cleared away there is
considerable speculation as to the
attitude of William LANCER, governor
elect, upon many issues which will
arise.
Eastern corporations are now query
ing the state something like this. Is
he a radical? ~
In one Of his closing addresses of
the campaign, Mr.. LANCER seems to
have answered this question himself.
On that occasion he said:
Nov you know when you see the
daily newspapers coming out and say
ing am a radical and that I am 60
ing to do anything II I am elected
governor to hurt the credit Of the
state Of North Dakota, why want you
to know that down there in the east
ern part OF the state my mother and
father still own thousands and thou
sands of acres of land and that it
would be very, very poor judgment for
me to do anything whatever that
would jeopardize the interests Of my
own parents"

Of higher learning are also asking
what Mr.. Langer's attitude will be
toward the university. agricultural
college and the normal schools, Just
how deeply salary cuts will be and
what curtailments there will be In
curriculum. Mr.. LANCER also has an
gwered this question somewhat more
vaguely than the first in his closing
speech in Bismarck Monday evening;
November Z.
He said:
"You know in this campaign when
my opponents speak of Grand Forks
they say I want to close up the uni
versity. When they speak of Fargo
they say I want to close up the Agri-
cultural college. I will say to the tax
payers that think it is about time
