Here the gallery looks on as two pairs of contestants finish first round matches in ' e 29th annual competition. Match play opened in the tour "Bob Norquist, young links--! man from University of Oregon and Columbia Edgewater club, Portland, wrote a sparkling epi sode for Southern Oregon Golf tournament "history yesterday by carding a hole-in-one in first 'round championship flight ri valry of the 29th annual classic at Medford's Rogue Valley Country club. Norquist accomplished the feat on the 175-yard No. 17 hole in his 2-up win over Harry Mil lette, one of the leading en trants of the home course. His first ace was a perfect shot, true all the way. It was one of the few holes-in-one in the annals of SO tourney play and the first, at least in many years, in the championship flight. The ace was the highlight among opening round matches which saw two medalists tumbled and the third survive with the help of experience and Lady Luck. Favorites for the most part came through. Lewis Beats Buch Clayton Lewis, Medford, who admitted playing his heart out in a come-from-behind victory, was 2 up spiller of Dr. Robert Budk, Medford, whose 71 in qualifying had given him No. 1 seeded po sition in the bracket.

Fillis, Salt Lake City, Utah, women's low quali fyer, was equal to th, task when chips were down to over come steady-playing Susan SmalL Cervallis, 4 .and 2. Best title rounds of the day were turned in by Elaine Por ritt, Eugene, and ex-champions Bob Atkinson and Dom Provost Jr., both of Columbia. Each was two-under par in recording championship flight triumphs.

Norquist's ace enabled him to take a 1 up lead on Millet?. On No. 18 with MUlette's ball on hard pa and his swing-blocked by a leaf, the Rogue Valley man moved the obstruction causing the ball to roll. Gez Millette called the stroke penalty on himself and conceded the hole and the match. He would have had to win the hole to square the match and. Send it to extra holes. The Portlander m e d a 1 e d roughly four over par with a one-under 34 card on the back nine. Norquist was three up after five holes but Millette was even after nine greens.
