Charles Ferrera

Charles Ferrera, a riveter from San Francisco, who was accustomed to working in high places, ascended to the Championship at the Keller Golf Course, St. Paul. He defeated Joe Nichols, a 15-year-old schoolboy from Long Beach, Calif., 5 and 4 in the final. Nichols is the youngest player ever to reach the final. San Fransisco also won the team competition, with a score of 620 as 28 teams took part.

David A. Mitchell, of Indianapolis, prevented a San Francisco sweep by taking the medal, with 148. Both Kauffmann, the three-time winner, and Wingate, the defender, failed to qualify for match play. The entry, which had held comparatively steady through the first nine years, showed its first notable increase this year; 182 entered and 176 started. Both figures were new highs.
