Wilfred Crossley

Wilfred Crossley, a 34-year-old Bostonian temporarily living in Atlanta, became the first since Kauffmann to win both the qualifying medal and the individual Championship, and he also led Atlanta to its first team Championship at the Meadowbrook Golf Course, Minneapolis.

Crossley, a Harvard alumnus, scored 70-69-139 in the stroke rounds and never was down in match play. He beat Avery Beck, of Raleigh, N.C., 6 and 5, in the final. Beck had won a 38-hole semi-final against Benjamin G. Hughes, of Portland, Ore.

With Crossley scoring 139, Walter R. Browne, 143, and Charles W. Barnes, 149, Atlanta tied the three-man, 36-hole record of 431 in the team competition to score the third sweep of all available honors. There were 2,633 entrants, but Quick's name was not among them. He was late in filing his entry, and it was rejected.

The number of qualifiers in sectional rounds was reduced to 180, of whom 179 started. In another driving contest prior to the Championship proper, Joseph Carlone, of Cleveland, hit a ball 297 yards, 10 inches.
