Golden, Van Elm Tie for $10,000 Prize : Georgetown, Maryland Fives Nosed Out HAVE CARDS OF 293 AT AGUA CALIENTE May Shoot for Big Purse in Play-off, but Can Split if They Desire. BY BRIAN BELL. By the Associated Press. GUA CALIENTE, Mexico, January 17.—George Von Elm, former amateur golf champion of the United States, and John Golden, profes- slonal, tied today for the $10,000 first prize in the $25,000 Agua Caliente open, with 72 holes of 293. Von Elm finished with a bril- lant 71, a stroke under par, while Golden wound up the tournament proper with an 18-hole score of 74. The two leaders will play 18 holes tomorrow to decide who shall be the Agua Caliente champion for a year and wear a dazzling diamond-studded medal if occasion offers. It was announced also the play-off tomorrow would de- cide the division of the money, $10,000 to the winner and $3.500 to the run- her-up. The two players will divide 50 per cent of the “gate” tomorrow. Under ordinary circumstances, when 8 money tournament results in a tie, the leaders divide first and second money. Despite_the announced plan, Golden and Von Elm, if they choose, may make a gentleman's agreement to divide $13,500 into $6,750, and as dashing George is a self- styled business man golfer, and Golden has been playing for pay for a 1 time, some- thing of the kind may be worked out.

The former amateur king took three putts from 18 feet at the thirteenth, where he took 5 on the par 4 hole, and sheer tragedy stalked him at the fourteenth. Here he had a magnificent drive and a par 4 seemed in the bag, when suddenly a misdi- rected spade-mashie shot changed the complexion of things in -J, y. Instead of stopping on the green the ball went far beyond on the side of a hill furnish- ing a menacing background for. the hole. Again a 5 was necessary on the par 4 hole.

GARNERA, MALONEY 0 FIGHT AT MIAMI Former Garden Pilot Wilt Promote Battle Slated for February 28. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 17.—Walter Friedman, one of the American managers for Primo Carnera, announced today he had signed articles for a fight at Miami February 28 between the Italian giant and Jim Maloney, Boston heavyweight.

Maloney holds a 10-tound decision over Carnera, gained-in a fight last Fall in Boston.

BORGETOWN UNIVERSITY'S basket ball players left the ‘Tech High gym last night, fol- lowing their game with Wash- ington and Lee, wondering just what kind of & spell “Dukes” and “Generals” hold over them in the final five minutes of a contest and how Leigh Williams recelved so much advance publicity and a forward named Jarrett so little. Georgetown bowed, 28-27. Following their “last five-minute loss” to the Dukes of Duquesne Priday night, the Hoyas, stung to the quick, battled toe-to-toe with Washington and Lee, but bowed when Bill Shea fouled his man, Jarrett, in a desperate effort to keep him from sinking a close shot.
