~ East, South, Southwest and
Midwest, took up their cudgels at the
Congressional Country Club today in
the initial 36-hole match play round
marking the quarter-final round of
the national intercollegiate golf cham
pionship.
Charlie Yates, the gangling "Gawjus"
Tech boy, who won the championship
last year at Cleveland. still is hang
ing around, after brace of nerve
vracking matches. in one of which
his chances of repeat victory hung
literally on a single blade of grass.
The Yates boy. who looks like good
bet to repeat and become the fourth
champion in the 37-year history of
this tournament to do it. clashed with
slugging Jack Malloy of Princeton to-
day. The Malloy boy is the new pres
ident of the intercollegiate League,
but tonight he may be a president
and not future champion if Charlie
hangs on as he did to win two Cruel
ing matches yesterday.
Other matches found cocky little
C. A. Menard. jr., of Penn State op-
posing Ed White of Texas. the lad
who busted the Congressional course
wide open for the first time in the
tourney to bounce Charlie KocsiS out
by the rude margin of and 4. Ed
was 4 under par when he shook hands
with Kocsis a victor on the fourteenth
green. Woodrow Malloy, the apple
checked little Michigan sophomore.
and the lone remaining lad of the
trio who tied on Tuesday for the
medal, clashed with tall Johnny
Fischer, also of Michigan. and Bill
welch of Texas, tanned by the South
western sun to deep brick red,
matched shots with lanky Freddie
Haas, sophomore at Louisiana State
and the son of a New Orleans pro-
fessional.
Forecast Is Haphazard.
NOU can toss coin a few times or
- even try to guess color and grab
yourself an armful Of even money on
the semi finalists. Limb-clinging be-
ing the style we'll try q little of it.
along this line: Yates to beat Malloy
by comfortable margin: White to
give Menard the trimming of his life.
by something like 7 and 6; Fischer to
outthink and outgeneral Woodie NAL
10y, although this will be tough one:
Haas. the kid with the perfect golf
swing, to administer the ether to Bill
WEIGH along about the fourteenth hole.
White Is the hot thing of the tourna-
fnent on the strength of his showing
yesterday, but Yates is no push-over.
Charlie should have been licked in the
morning round yesterday by Walter
Emery, the Oklahoma lad, but he hung
on and finally seized the bit in his
teeth to grab the match on the third
extra hole. Emery had him hanging
on the ropes at the eighteenth. The
Oklahoma boy, who fancied himself a
crapshooter until he ran up against
the Georgia Tech bunch Tuesday
night and dropped few bucks and got
no sleep. blew 3-foot to whip Charles
on the eighteenth. Charlie finally
hung it on him at the twenty first hole
with par after Emery had three
putted the twentieth to give him life.
Jack Malloy Finishes Strong.
MALLOY of Princeton-Jack by
AA name-showed the stuff of which
he Is made on the final hole late yes
terday. All square with John Banks,
the Notre Dame boy who hadn't lost
match in conference play in two
years. he knocked a tee shot 20 yards
of the green at the eighteenth and hit
the cup with his chip to win with
bird 8.
, Malloy had no trouble with Bob
Parker of Princeton. whom he Ecked
by 6 and 5, but he will have something
else to do today. John Fischer has
played in enough national and inter-
national competition to know that golf
is played above the ears and Brother
Malloy has big ears. Fischer should
win this one.
Haas Is a picture golfer-the kid
with the swing of which golf poets
dream. He has everything, including
a good temperament. But he hasn't
the experience. and this may lick him.
He should have an easy match today.
for Welch was no great shakes in
beating Mckee Of Pittsburgh and
Cochran.
Lynch OFF His Game.
THE New Deal passes out a flock Of
good Government checks for kill
ing hogs. They should pass checks
around at these golf tournaments the
same way, for the boys had a good
old-fashioned Staying yesterday. Such

Georgetown star, and favorite to
win, slept through most of the after
noon, after losing by and l to Bob
Cochran of st. Louis University.
Joe couldn't hit his hat, but Coch-
ran was hot, winding up Joe on the
seventeenth 2 and l with a score Q
over par. And such lads as Bobby
Riegel. the Southern champ, who was
as cold yesterday as he was hot on
Tuesday, being whipped and / by
husky lad named Parker from
Princeton, wnom Bob could probably
start 2 up and win If he was right.
Not in years have we seen such i'm
f1aculate iron play as White put on
to beat Kocsis yesterday He was so
ell-fred straight and so crisp with
those irons that 1t wasn't conceivable
he could miss one. When he wasn't
putting from 10 feet or less for a
birdie his pars we're coming from g.
inch puts. Kocsis played IA holes
in even par and lost by S and 4.
White Has All Shots.
White has everything and If he gets
to Yates in the 36-hole semi-final
round tomorrow. you will hear some
loud explosions out Bradley Hills way.
White is the same fellow who has
been giving Gus Moreland q lot Of
headaches down Dallas way. where
they make good golfers every day-the
same country that produced Spec
