ALL-COAST FINAL
The Ward-Abbott match will be
the first all-Pacific Coast final in

tional Amateur. AS matter OF
fact, the coast has produced only
two champions. Ward and Lawson
Little. over the period of nearly a
half-century.
Ward. although he had easier
foes to lick, has played better golf
than Abbott since the tourney
opened on Monday. A checkup
showed that Ward was IL over
par for the 124 holes he has
played. while Abbott was Il over
for 40 hoels.
Wards victims were Alex
Welsh. Otto Greiner, Glenn Oat-
man, Stephen Kovach and Riegel.
Abbott was forced TO knock over
John Vavra, MILFORD Wehrle,
Harry Todd. Ray Billows and
finally Bishop.
Bishop blew a 12-foot putt on
the thirty-siXth hole which, il

match into extra holes. Although
he wasn't stymied Bishop some
how struck his opponents ball to
lose his last chance.
