GOLFER MAXWELL TIED
WITH FOWNES FOR TITLE
Sinks Long Putf on Fourteenth
in North and South Cham
pionship PINEHURST, .-. C, April 7 Norman
Maxwell sank a long putt on the fourteenth
hole today ngalnst W. C. Fownes. Jr. Oak
mont, from the edge of the green and
evened up the play In the finals of the
North and South Golf Championship being
played at the country club In fiont of a
record gallery. The youthful Philadelphia
prodigy scored an "eagle" on tho hole and
sent the crowd crazy with enthusiasm The
shot followed a series of brilliant strokes
by Maxwell to make the match all-square
against his veteran opponent, who won the
medal In the national championship last
season and who Is the Pennsylvania State
champion.
Fownes was 1 up at the end of the first
nine holes of the 36-holo bout. His slender
nineteen-year-old opponent from the Quaker
City then yanked his drler out of his bag
and viciously laid Into a tee shot which
was yards ahead of Fownes' effort It was
the turning point, it seemed, and the match
was anybody's from there through the long
Stretch. They were all squarp nt the end of
18 holes.
Maxwell went out In par 3G, Fownes In
35, one under par. Fownes mado the first
hole In par 5, but lost It to a 4. Tho next
three holes were halved In par. and Fownes
evened things up by taking the fifth In 4
to Maxwell's par 6. On the sixth. Maxwell
missed a six-foot putt for a 3 and Fownes
took the hole by sinking a putt at twice
the distance. The seventh, eighth and
ninth were each halved In par, leaving
Fownes still 1 up The remaining nine
holes of the first round hae been played,
the match standing all square at the eight
eenth, with a medal score ot 35-37-72 for
Fownes and 36-34-70 for Maxwell, exclu
sive of two strokes lost by Maxwell on dead
stymies. The finalists were thus even on
strokes and holes. The Inward Journey
started with the tenth and eleventh halved
In par 4, and Maxwell then got on even
terms by sinking a 20-foot putt for a
"birdie" 3 on the twelfth. The par i thir
teenth was the one poor hole of the round.
Maxwell played It worse than Fownes and
lost It In 6 to Fownes's 6. ' At the long
fourteenth, par 6, Fownes went down In 4
and the Aronlmlnk youngster brought down
the house by a long putt for a 3 and an
"eagle" on the hole, thus making matters
even again.
Maxwell was again stymied at the seven
teenth, Fownes's long putt for a 2 ef
fectively blocked Maxwell's third, the hole
going to Fownes In 3 to Maxwell's 4. The
Philadelphia player was men 1 down, but
squared the match on the home green by
approaching dead to the pra on his third,
while Fownes had left himself a 30-foot
putt, which he missed.
Maxwell drove to the green nt the fif
teenth, but missed his long putt and the
hole was halved In 3. An unjust and per
sistent fate Intervened for the first time at
tho sixteenth. Maxwell had an easy putt
for a par 4 and Fownes n long one. Fownes
missed and stymied Maxwell dead, the hole
being halved In 5.

MILITARY GUARDS
CROWD AT PENN
M'
ILITARY guardH, In somber khaki and
with ominous rifles at hand, added a
touch of the v'ar to the first college rrew

blades In the water at 4 30 and the varsltv
crews went away a half hour later The
start was made from Stone Mrldge, nt the

The river banks presented a gay scene.
Hundreds of feminine enthusiasts were
lured out by the smiling skies and prom
enaded In Kaster finery. A great burst of
cheering greeted tho first race, when the
Junior crews took the water and bent broad
backs to straining blades In the smooth
wafers of the river.
The rrews were followed down the river
by Hcores of small boats, most of which
contained student rooters, bawling en
couragement across the water to the giant
oarsmen straining every muscle to break
Into the lead. A big throng gathered on the
Columbia avenue bridge, which marked the
finish.
The races today were the first and last of
tho Yale schedule, for Old Kll will cancel
Its crew card after today. It may be Penn's
last race also unless It Is decided to keep
In training and take on the Naval Acad
emy, which will not abandon Its schedule
until word Is received from Washington or

This makes the third consecutive year
that the Tied and Blue eights have met the
Klfs, although In previous years they have
rowed against one another.
Coach Wright, of the Penn crews, was
still In a quandiy late In .the nfternoon
as to which crew he would pit against
the Yale varsity, as tho Junior eight has
been taking the measure of the first crew
In almost all of the match races this year.
The margin of victory that the Juniors have
had over the varsity has been no slight that
Wright believes they are almost evenly

Lust year Penn turned the tables on the

handily. They lost the Junior race, how
ever, by a scant third of a length. The
laces last year and the year before were
over tli 3 mlle-nnd-a-half course, but us both
coaches thought that this dlstanco was too
great to row ovei at this time of tho season,
It was decided to stage the races ovei the
Henley course, which Is .TI0 yards shortei
than the mile and a-half course.
Iloth colleges we're slow In getting started

Yale won the toss for position for both
