MICHIGAN RULES IN TEAN BATILE Two Wolverines in Triple Tie for Medal Honors. Lynch Survives. BY W. R. McCALLUM. HIRTY-TWO golfing lads from I 19 different colleges scattered | throughout the length and | breadth of the United States | gtarted twin 18-hole match play | rounds today over the same course at | the Congressional Country Club which thwarted their best efforts:to match par through two hectic days of medal play warfare. At the close of play today only eight of them will be left to contest in a 36-hole quarter final round tomorrow for the national inter- collegiate ‘crown, which Charlie Yates of Georgia Tech wore jauntily today as he unleashed his heavy artillery in the opening round. Michigan, home of great foot ball teams, had four men in the tourna- ment today, the largest numerical rep- resentation in the group, as befitting | the institution which grabbed the | team championship for the second consecutive year and the alma mater of two of the three co-medalists. Oklahoma, Princeton and Georgia Tech had three each, while Penn State, | Texas and Pitt had two apiece. Georgetown had one man in the | match play rounds, but that mah is | one of the major threats to win. Joe Lynch from Boston, captain of the | Hoya team, is no push-over in any | league where they hit a ball with a club. You can bank on these college kids | pulling some funny stuff, of a biand you won't see in any other major golf tournament. Late yesterday a ruddy- faced, chubby little gent from Ann Arbor, who lives in the shadow of | the towers of the University of Mich- igan, came up to the eighteenth tee, where a green stretch of fairway showed him the path to the hole 300 | vards away. He was Woodrow Malloy, | 21-year-old junior at Michigan, one | of the two lads of the same name who tied for the lead over the first day. . Thought He Needed Birdie. JJE WAS the one who didn't fade over the final day of medal pla Jack Malloy faded back to 79, but Woodrow, a wisp of a lad weighing | about 135 pounds, hung on. He blew shots at the thirteenth, fourteenth | and sixteenth, and stood on the final | tee with a 3 to tie Charlie Kocsis, his teammate, and Lewis Johnson of Charleston, S. C. They had finished long before with identical totals of 148, which happens to be four above | par for a course which the boys said | they would burn up. But he didn't know it. thing funnier has happened in a major tournament in a long time we haven't heard of it. Here was a guy who had a bird to tie and he thought a bird would win. He smote that ball | dead on a line for the pin. It nit in front of the green, took a left hop | and rolled 15 feet to the left of the | pin. His putt for the eagle deuce was 10 inches short, and he tapped in i the putt to tie. “Did you know you had that putt to | win?” we asked him. “No, I didn't.” he said. “I thought I had a birdie to win.” thought he had a 6 on the thirteenth, where his second shot caught a bun- | ker and he got a really good 7. Yates had an armful of work cut | out for him today as the present | champion clashed in the opening round with Walter Emery, a dogged little shotmaker who won the title in 1933. The first seven men and Yates were seeded in the draw, placing such stalwarts as Yates, Emery, Harry| Gandy and Kocsis in the top half, | while the lower half had Woodrow | Malloy, Bobby Riegel, John Fischer, Preddie Haas and Joe Lynch. That lower half looks the stronger part of the draw, but you never can tell in such a tournament as this college af- | fair when the boys take off the wraps in match play. Riegel Makes Grade. (QUTSTANDING among _the last- minute stands to qualify were those of Riegel the lad who won the Southern championship last week. Bobby did a final round cf 72, even| par, to make the grade with strokes to spare. Gandy, the slugger from | Oklahoma, out in 41 over the final round, breezed home in 323 for the low- est nine of the tourney and a 74. Shed no tears oves that gallant Stanford bunch who came 3.000 miles to take a licking. Their coach says| that if they played as well with their | heads as they play with their clubs they could qualify in any tournament. As it was only one out of six made the grade. This was gigantic Jack Hoerner, the boy who would make a great full- back and may make a great. golfer. Stewart, Dwyer and Edwards, the highly-touted boys from Palo Alto, | couldn't make it. The first two were a shot outside the play-off, and Ed- wards, winding up with a 76, was two | shots back. Robert McLaughlin of Buffalo trun- dled in a 30-foot putt across the first green for a bird 4 to win one of the places in the play-off at 80. R.

Out of 250 who teed off on the| Muirfield and Gullane courses three | days ago, 109 remained to fight it | out for one of the highest honors in | golfdom.

Both carded 141 for the 36 holes. Shooting two under par | | 70 over the Gullane course to add to his 71 scored at Muirfield, where the | championship proper is being played, | Cotton justified the odds of 4-1 that had been placed on him by the book- makers. The six-man American delmuon‘ came through the qualifying rounds | | safely, but some of the players were just under the wire. Scores of the American players ‘were: McDonald Smith, 142; Joe Kirk- wood, 146; Frank Ball, 147; Joe Ezar, 148; Henry Picard, 151; Law- | son Little, 152. Kenwood-Bound?

RFENWICH, Conn, June 26.— Billy Dettweiler, lanky George- town Preparatory School lad, found rivalry keen today in the second 18- hole round of the qualifying play for the twenty-fourth annual Eastern in- terscholastic golf championship at Greenwich Country Club as he battled for the medal. Finishing bravely yesterday for a 75 that tied Bobby Jacobson of Frank- lin School of New York, Dettweiller in the second half of the qualifying play was to encounter the fastest fleld of young golfers in the history of the tourney. In yesterday's play, 18 of the 75 entered broke 80. Dettweiller, holder of the Maryland junior crown, got away to a poor start yesterday, going one over par at each of the first two holes and never managed to make up the lost ground. He was out in 37 and came home in 38, losing a chance to gain ar un- disputed lead when he missed a short putt on the last green. —e PLAY TABLE TENNIS. ALEXANDRIA, Va.

AN DIEGO, Calif., June 26.— America's search for a sturdy the 1936 decathlon shoes so ably worn by James Bausch in the 1932 Olympic games, turned to the pionship which opens here today in connection with the Far Western track and field meet. From the field of seven probable starters, headed by Robert Clark, de- fending champion, from the Olympic Club, San Francisco, will be sought the man of speed, strength and stamina to carry the Yankees' hope of repeating.

The Wolverine, a sterling per- former in a host of events, proposes season with the idea of earning a Aside from Ward the field of starters was entirely Californian. Ward has proved himseif to be one of the top-flight performers of the country in the sprints, hurdles, high and broad jumps.

His heavy intercolleglate com- petitive schedule has worked against any concerted effort in the decathlon. ters, broad jump, shotput, high jump and 400 meters, will be held this after- noon, sandwiched in with the junior Par Western A.
