; Veteran Scotchman,
Michael Scott.
By the Associated Press.

lAhC,
George r. Dunlap, jr., sole American
survivor in the British amateur golf
championship, was eliminated in the
semi-f1nal round today and by
the veteran British internationalist,
Honorable Michael Scott.
The slim young American, twice hold
er of the United States intercollegiate
title, held his own with Scott through
the first nine holes Of the match, which
they finished all square, but failed to
win a hole on the incoming route, Scott
taking the lead at the eleventh to end
the match four holes later.
Defeated Somerville.
On his way to the semi-fnal Dunlap
defeated several leading golfers of the
British Empire, including c. Ross
(sandy) Somerville, Canadian holder of
the United States amateur title, and
Lister Hartley, British Walker Cup
star.
The real break in his match with
Scott came on the eighth hole, 49,
yarder, where George shot his par 5
only to have Scott sink an 8-yard putt
for an eagle 3, to square the match ana
apparently shake the nerve of the "a
year-old American.
Scott. twice Australian open cham
pion and four times winner of the anna
teur title there, was a member OF the
British Walker Cup team in 1924 and
scored two of Britain's three points.
He defeated Jess Sweetser, former
United States and British amateur title
holder, and 6, and paired with Robert
Scott, jr., to defeat Bob Jones and
w. c. Fownes l up.
He is SIS years old.
No Match for Scotsman.
Dunlap was playing about as well
as he did in his prevHTIs xsetches, but
was no match for the srouseo Scotch
man. who was even foCSs througi. the
Is holes played, with al eagle and one
birdie on his card. Scott was only
over par three times and two Of the
holes he lost that way
Scott is a brother of Lady Margaret
Scott, who won the first British wom-
ems championships in 1893, 1894 and
1895.
SCOTS victory put him into the finals
for the first time, his best previous
showing being semi-1nal berth in
1920 and sixth round brackets in 1912
and 1929. He was the leading amateur
in the British open in 1922 when Wal
ter Hagen won his first British title,
finishing in tie for Goth place.
Cyril Tolley. British title holder IN
1920 and 1929, also fell in the semi
final round before Thomas Arundel
Bourn, losing out in 20-hole match.
Tolley's Defeat Surprise.
The defeat of Tolley was as much an
upset as that of Dunlap by Scott as the
portly former champion, one of the
longest drivers in golf, had been favored
by the critics to at least gain the final
round
Bourn was native English champion
in 1880 and won the French amateur
title In 1928. He played in the United
States amateur in 1929, being elimi-
mated in the second round.
It will be battle of youth against age
again in the 36-hole final tomorrow, as
Bourn Is only 81, "a years younger than
his opponent.
Dunlap took his defeat like the good
sportsman he is, telling the golf writ
ers who crowded around: Hes better
golfer than am"
Told He Hadn't Chance.
As the young American and the gray
haired Scotsman walked in from the
fifteenth green Scott told Dunlap that
he had not seen him play before, but
all my friends told me before the match
that hadn't ghost of a chance"
"Oh, that's what we call honey talk
over on our SIDE" Dunlap responded,
smiling.
Starting the semi-final match, Dunlap
took one-hole lead on Scott at the
second and went two up on the sixth,
but Michael then rallied to take the
seventh with a par and the eighth
with an eagle 3 to send them to the
tenth green all even.
The first hole was halved in orthodox
fashion, but both were in bunkers at
the second, Dunlap from the tee and
Scott en- his second Both recovered
nicely, but the Englishman needed three
puts and George took the hole to go
/ UP. The third fourth and fifth holes
were halved with pars, but on the sixth
Scott overran the green and the Amer
ican went 2 up.
Scott Makes Eagle.
Dunlap's margin was reduced to l as
Scott holed a 3-yarder on the seventh
while Dunlap was missing one Of like
distance away, and the match was
squared on the 482-yard eighth as the
Englishman sent his second winging to
within yards of the cup and rammed
home the putt for an eagle 3.
Scott was outdriven so yards on the
ninth, but hit a great spoon shot to
the green to get his half and make the
turn all even.
The tenth was halved, but Scott went
into the lead for the first time to the
cheers of the large gallery as Dunlap
was short with his approach.
The twelfth was halved in IS, over
par, but Scott took the short thirteenth
with par and went 3 up at the four
teenth as Dunlap, obviously shaken,
dubbed a short putt and Scott sank a
long one for a birdie f.
End at Fifteenth Hole
The end came at the fifteenth hole as
Scott won with par to make it 6 won
Of the last played and take the match.
Dunlap defeated the experienced tour
nament player Ronald Hoyle Hardman
of Birkdale, in the quarter final round
this morning
The slim New Yorker won the first
hole with a par when Hardman pulled
his second shot and then missed putt
of a yard.
Dunlap went two up at the third
