The surprise of the tournament came in the first round when Chick put out Travis. The Harvard golfer is a very steady player, and on this oc- casion he was at his best. Probably what won him the match was the ex- cellence of his short approaches, com- bined with Travis's unusual weakness on the green. It did not appear as ii the long-handled club had much to do with the result. Generally Travis got a good ball off the tee, and his direction was for the most part fairly accurate. WALTER .1. TRAVIS AT ELEVENTH TEE. There were one or two tee shots, how- FINISH OF SWING. ever, that were distinctly bad, and one at least in the match with Chick that was halved, and Chick won the Travis probably would not duplicate if twelfth, making him 4 up. Travis took he played for ten years with his old the thirteenth and fourteenth and the clubs. Briefly, the matter may be next two were halved. This made summed up by saying that Travis Chick dormy two and he ran down a gained no apparent advantage at long putt at the seventeenth for a Lakewood by the use of these long three. Travis picked up, but the vic- shafts, and in order to justify their tory was counted to Chick by 3 up and •adoption it is necessary to prove an 1 to play.
