THE thirteenth annual Indiana
Il women's golf championship is
A matter of history. The event
which ended yesterday at Chain O.
Lakes course, South Bend, was prob
ably as fine an exhibition of golf
as has ever been diShed out to fol-
lowers of state feminine links play.
Miss Elizabeth Dunn, Highland
Clubs star who captured her fifth
state crown to add to nine consecu-
tive Indianapolis city titles, right
fully rules the Hoosier links.
1t also might be said that Miss
Dorothy GuStafSon, South Bend,
whom the champion eliminated,
and 5. in the final, was the second
best player in the tournament. She
defeated her old rival, Miss Alice
Belle English of Lafayette, and 4,
ana then defeated Mrs Penn G..
Shllern, South Bend. 1882 cham

THE champion made only three
n or four mistakes in the thir-
teen holes necessary to win yester-
day. Her second shot on the first
hole was a bit wide Fortunately it
struck a tree and caromed onto the
green enabling her to halve the hole
with a par. Her tee shot on No. 8
was IN the rough and she made
weak out, going over par one
stroke. Her second shot on No.
9 was over the green and in the
trap.
To Offset the mistakes, Miss Dunn
was dead to the pin with her ap-
prOach shots on Nos. ?, 4 and to
get brides. With pars on l, and
). she was three under perfect fig
ureS to that point and in spite of
going over on both the eighth and
ninth. was one under wOmen's par
80 and three up at the turn.
After getting a par on No. 10 to
halve the hole, Miss Dunn captured
another birdie on No. II, with a six
foot putt. When Miss GuStafSon
bObbled shots on No. y and took a
7, Miss Dunn half heartedly stabbed
2 short putt and missed. She still
had another for a win, however, so
the three puts there can hardly be
regarded as a mistake as she won
the hole.
COING down the thirteenth fair
" way in this tournament of
lbs" Miss Dunn smacked three per-
feet shots 10 the green and then
ran a twenty-fOot putt for her fifth
birdie Of the round 10 end the
match.
The star who had worried about
ink being attached to the
tournament. was the first to COM
ment; Amt that the devil; it
ended on No. -
Since this hole is located far from
the clubhouse, Miss Dunn decided to
play on III. She was on in two
mighty wallopS on No. ID and scored
another birdie, followed by a par on
the short fifteenth.
A poor drive cost her a shot on
No. is and she was short on No. II
10 go over another stroke. A par 5
on the last hole gave her a 80 in.
even wOmen's par for the back nine
and rs. one under par for the eight
cen holes.
This is two shots better than
LeOna PreSSler. national star. ever
made on the Chain O. Lakes course.
Miss PreSSler spends a month each
summer in South Bend.
While some Of Miss Dunn's puts
OF a few inches or a foot we're con-
ceded Friday and made the round
unofficial. We believe that were she
playing medal golf she might have
cut of a couple of strokes. The
gallery seemed 10 think that, too.
THE tournament was a huge sue

An insurgent faction of South

other than that the event was just
another OF those smooth running
