THE thirteenth annual Indiana
a 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.
It 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 rical Miss Alice
Bell English of Lafayette, and 4,
and then defeated Mrs. Penn G..
Skillern, South Bend, 1882 cham
pion, in the semi-f1nals, 2 and 1.
NE champion maze only tnfee
- or four mistakes in the thir-
teen holes necessary to win yester-
day. Her second shot on the first
hole was 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-
get brides, With pars on l, 3 and
5, she was three under pefect fig
ures to that point and in spite of
going over on both the eighth and
ninth, was one under womens part
SO and three up at the turn.
After getting par on No. 10 to
have the hole, Miss Dunn captured
another birdie on No II, with six
foot putt. When Miss GuStafSon
bobbled shots on No. II and took a
7, Miss Dunn half heartedly stabbed
a short putt and missed. She still
had another for a win, however, so
the three puts there can hardly be
regarded as mistake as she won
the hole.
COING down the thirteenth fair
" way in this tournament of
lbs" Miss Dunn smacked three per-
feet shots to the green and then
ran a twentyfoot putt for her fifth
birdie of the round to end the
match.
The star who had worried about
"jinx' being attached to the tourns-
ment, was the first to comment:
Amt that the devil; it ended on
No. 49,
Since thi shole is located far from
the clubhouse, Miss Dunn decided to
play on in. 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. 16 and she was short on No II
to go over another stroke. A par 5
on the last hole gave her a 80 in.
to even women's par of rs for the
round.
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 few inches or a foot were con-
coded Friday and made the round
unofficial. we believe that we're she
playing medal golf she might have
cut off a couple of strokes. The
gallery seemed to think that. too.
HE tournament was huge sue

An insurgent faction of South
Bend women asserted themselves
Monday night and voted the 1885
tournament to Fl. Wayne, but
other than that the event was just
another Of those smooth running
state women's events.
