The Silver Anniversary Championship was played at the Seneca Golf Course on its return to Louisville, Ky., and Stanley Bielat, a 37-year-old truck driver from Yonkers, took the title to the metropolitan New York area for the third time. Bielat had to win four extra-hole matches to reach the final, but once there he made five birdies on the last eight holes and beat John Cobro, of Chicago, 7 and 5. Towns was eliminated in the fourth round.

Shaw, who scored 67, Robert Roux, 74, and James R. Griffin, 76. Thirty-eight teams participated, a record since the establishment of the event as a separate competition.
