Medal Play rules governed to-day, and the scoring was by strokes.
[Illustration: Plan of Hilton Academy Golf Links] Whipple reached the first green in one stroke, but used two more to hole-out.

West took two short drives to reach a lie, from which he dropped his ball into the hole in one try.

And the honors were even.

The next hole was forty yards longer, and was played either in two short drives or one long drive and an approach shot.

It contained two hazards, Track Bunker and High Bunker, the latter alone being formidable.
