Reed Battles Champ
Billy Bassett, defending champion
was still on the throne today ano
battling for the 1888 title principally
because he was able to ward off i'm
pending defeat in both his short
eighteen-hole first and second round
match tests Wednesday with a great
variety of tournament golf.
Bassett was one of the eight re-
naming in the battle today simply
because he refused to believe his
game was not a little better than
his opponents. Kenneth Morine OF
South Bend, whom he defeated 4
and in the first round, and Billy
Reed Jr. of Highland, indianapolis

No. 2 and nit the lake and marsh
on No. 5 to take a 6. Reed faltered
bit on No. and three putted and
dubbed a second shot to square the
match. Bassett three putted the
ninth green and Reed was one UP
at the turn.

creased it to 3 up when Bassett
found the rough on No. Is.

pion pinched himself and awakened
to the fact his title was shaky. He
got going right away. He ran down
twenty-foot putt on No. Il fol-
birdie. He failed to win the next
hole because he missed a three-foot
putt after sending his tee shot
straight TO the pin.
When Reed pounded one into the
rough on No. II Bassett stepped ir

On No. Is Reed was again in the
rough and sent mis- second out well
but short. His third was on the
