FINISH OF MATCHES WATCHED The area around the

on as two pairs of contestants finish first round matches in '

"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

admitted playing his heart out in
a come-from-behind victory, was
