second and third round matches in
the thirty-fourth annual tourna-

Survivors of the first round
matches yesterday, which reduced
the field from "a to 80 and gave the
state associations new tournament
plan a thorough trial, set out today
to move the classic forward to quar-
ter-final stages before nightfaIl. Two
eighteen-hole matches were to be
played.
First round play was devoid of
upSets. Favorites galloped through
easily and except for holdup on
the lower course, the natives would
have had little to talk about.

All-IndianapOlis Matches
Two Capital City players collided
in another match, with Paul Shat

fin. Shaffer was favored.
In another all-IndianapoliS affair,
two veterans, Max Buell., Highland,

while the last of the indianapolis
players in the list of thirteen still in
the event, John Crawford. South
Grove, was conceded little chance
to defeat Kenny Morine, South
Bend star. who qualified for the Ma
tional Open this year.
Looking over the remaining field,
it was our opinion that Mitchell,
Porter, Johnny Simpson and Harold
Brewer, the state Junior champion,
would reach the quarter-f1nals in
/ the upper bracket, while Dick Tay-
/ lor. Charlie Harrell, Max Buell. and
Kenny Morine might survive the
lower bracket.
