The first round for the individual championship in the intercollegiate golf tournament was played yesterday morning at the Garden City, L. I., links. Both Yale and Harvard were unfortunate in the drawings because each had two of her representatives meeting in the first round. The play was at eighteen holes match play. Averill, Harvard, defeated Hubbard, Harvard, 79-85, and broke the record for the course by one stroke. Much of Averill's strength lay in his extraordinary putting ability, but his driving was also excellent. At the end of the first nine holes his lead was five up and he finally won the match by six up and four to play. Stuart of Princeton, defeated Robertson of Yale, by six up and five to play, the score being 81-89. Hitchcock of Yale, defeated Byers of Yale by the score of 80-55 or four up and three to play. Pyne of Princeton, selected Edwards of Columbia, three up on nine holes.
