For the tenth time, and the sixth time in eight years, a Californian won at the West Seattle Municipal Golf Course, Seattle, Wash. This became a certainty when Ted Richards, Jr., 30, of Santa Monica, entered the final with a fellow-Los Angelean, Irving A. Cooper, of Long Beach.

Richards played level-par golf for 36 holes and was 1 up when the holes ran out. His victory was the seventh by a Los Angelean. He later went to the quarter-final round of the Amateur while Cooper went to the round of 16.

A young Jacksonville, Fla. team won the team trophy by a stroke over Montebello, Calif. Honolulu would have tied for second had it not been for an inadvertent error on the score card of one of the Hawaiians which called for his automatic disqualification. Bogan was beaten in the fourth round and subsequently turned professional.
