Larned was pressed hard for hie title this season. Out of @ group of prominent Call- fornians the dashing Maurice EB. Mo- Loughlin rose until he was the veteran's challenger. Larned won the deciding matoh, 64, 6—4, 6-2. HE increasing popularity of golf in this country was clearly demon- strated during the year.

Attendance at the big contests during the season were larger than the 1910 figures, but the playing of the prom- inent elevens was more or less a dis- appointment. The fault rested on the inability of the coaches and players to @easor than in the preceding year, and grasp the new open-play rules. Fafl- for that reason topnotchers appeared in : ure of the forward pass and onside competition more frequently.
