H.H. Wilder '09 won the intercollegiate golf championship Saturday afternoon by defeating T. Briggs '09, 6 up and 5 to play, in the final match of 36 holes. Wilder played a steady game, at no time being less than two holes in the lead. Briggs got a poor start and was unable to overcome Wilder's lead as the match progressed.

At the first turn Briggs was 3 down, having lost the first three holes and the sixth, and winning the seventh with all the others halved. Wilder took three shots to reach the tenth green, while Briggs put his third so near the hole that he won in 4. The next two holes went to Wilder because of his good approaches to the green, and he led by 4. The seventeenth hole went to Wilder, but Briggs got a good drive on the home hole and won easily, finishing the first round 4 down.

In the afternoon Wilder took the first and ninth holes, losing the fifth with the others a tie. Wilder also won the tenth in 5 and then halved the next three holes, winning the match 6 up and 5 to play.
