He thereby successfully defend ed the crown he won in 1959 against one of the strongest fields in tournament history. Miss Siegmund dropped in a short putt for a birdie four on the 38th hole, second extra one, to edge Mrs. Helen Da vies, Medford, a former champ, 1 up for the women's laurels. Butler, Southern Ore gon college prof, tripped Ralph Swan, Royal Oaks club, Vancouver, Wash., in the senior men's finale. Yesterday's conclude rs wound up a week of heavy links activity at the Medford club. Golf has gone full blast at Rogue Valley since Tues day, Aug. 30, in the biggest southern Oregon of the 32 and Oregon's largest links event. . Prall, who recorded six vic tories in five days of match play to sew up his second straight diadem, had a scorch ing four under par 68 for his pre-lunch 18 holes Monday. The ex-Salem high and Uni versity of Oregon player fashioned a 7 up lead while touring the course in this siz zling style. In the afternoon he was three over RVCC men's standard in his effort to maintain advantage on his foe. The Prall-Mltchell engage ment ended on the 31st hole of a scheduled 36. Mitchell, assistant Chico city engineer, conceded a par putt to the Salemite after a 25-foot round house putt by- Prall stopped just a couple of inches from the cup., With Mitchell's ges ture the hole was halved. The match had been' dormie, 6 up and 6 holes to go, after the 30th green (No. 12 on the links). ,' , Miss Siegmund, 1 a d i e s medalist here in 1955 and Oregon Coast runner-up' this summer, never trailed in her match with Mrs. Davies. But the Rogue Valley club titlist and seven times SO winner put on a game and spirited rally at the finish, that had a gallery of some 1.500 people loudly cheering, and almost overtook the Eugene lass. Three down with 32 holes played, Mrs. Davies won Nos. 34 35 and 36 with two birdies and a par to send the contest to extra greens. Butler took the lead on Swan on the fifth hole and kept the rest of the way. He had 3 up gaps twice and lost them before establishing that final margin when he closed out the match on the 16th hole of a slated 18. First flight winners of the tourney were Ed C. Hall, Rogue Valley, in the men s division, Sue Goodnight Waverley, Portland, in the women's and Ted Fleskes, Royal Oaks, in the senior men's. , Mitchell, three over par to Prall's four under in the morning, had a slight edge on .. . .i.r in the afternoon portion of the fray.

Salem's Bob Prall (left) (Knacksted Photo) won his second straight men's title; Eu- ' Mitchell won the first hole of the match with a four-foot bird putt and took the seventh when he was on the green on two and just two inches short on an 18-foot try. Prall was short of the green on his approach and rolled over the hole on a nine foot putt. The seventh was the last hole Mitchell won until the 24th. Prall won No. 4 with a good roll to the green after nabbing No. 3 with an eight-foot down hill putt. On No. 5 his long approach dropped about one foot from the pin and he got a gime bird for 2 up.. A 15- footer for : a bird restored Prall to 2 up on No. 8. On No. 9 the Salem player hit over the green to the rough beside a tree but deftly got on the green for a seven-foot putt and a par. When Mitchell three-putted, Prall went 3 up. On No. 10 Prall dunked a seven-foot shot for a bird and a win. The two halved until No. 15 when the match went to 5 up. Mitchell was short off the tee and chipped past the hole. Prall was on the green and moved up for a three-foot putt for a par. On No. 17 Prall was on the green off the tee and almost put in a long putt. He holed in three strokes. Mitchell, over the green, used up a shot to get on. On No. 18 Prall bopped in an 11-foot roundhouser which gave a bird and 7 up. Ron missed a seven-footer. Miss Siegmund was one over par for the morning and five over for the day, while Helen was seven over stand ard. '. Mrs. Davies drew life on No. . 33 hole of the match when Miss Siegmund missed a three-foot putt and the hole was tied with bogies. The match was then dormie. Helen took No. 34 with a two foot bird putt when Shirley muff ed a three-foot try. The Med ford player took No. 35 with a par when Miss siegmuna overshot the green off the tee and Mrs. Davies hit the car pet. On No. 36 (18th hole of the course) Mrs. Davies was be low the green on her ap proach, chipped about 125 feet to 15 inches from the cup and sank a putt for a birdie four. Shirley's approach faded into the rough in trees at the right of the green. Her third shot was onto the apron 18 feet from the pin and her fourth shot, a putt, was three feet short and on her fifth stroke the ball hit the pin and rolled on. She took a double bogey. . The two par-fived on 37, the first extra. Davies had a long putt dip in and out. On No. 36 Miss siegmuna was to the side of the green and Mrs. Davies well short on respective second shots. Helen's No. 3 was to within 18 feet of the cup but Shirley popped up about 14 inches from the pin. The Medford' He's long putt rolled to the side but she made a lV4-foot- er. Then Shirley ended it by putting in her short shot. Shirley had a 3 up gap after the first three holes of the match on a bogey and two pars. She lost No. S to a Davies' bird but won seven and eight with a bird of her own and a par for 4 up, the widest gap of the tussle. Helen fought back to win four of the next five holes and even the match. Numbers 9, 11 and 13 were on pars and No. 10 on a golf rule birdie three when Miss Siegmund knocked Helen's ball into the cup be fore saying she was conced ing. Mrs. Davies' ball was ly ing three at the time. Miss Siegmund won No. 15 with a par and No. 18 with a bird against a bogey when Helen had trap trouble. That made it 2 up at lunch. On No. 20 Helen cut the gap-with a four-foot bird putt. But 2 up was restored when Mrs. Da vies triplt bogied on No. 27 for a seven. She sliced into trees at the right on her sec ond shot and hit over the green on three. Her chip was too strong on four. On a 40 foot putt situation she went right by the cup, then missed an eight footer. Helen took 28 when Shirley triple putted but Siegmund nabbed 31 with a par when Mrs. Davies chipped too hard and 32 with a bird when the Eugene gal pitched up for a short putt. Spectacular hole of the match was No. 24, sixth of the afternoon. Mrs. Davies putted in from 40 feet away for a bird. Shirley, not to be out done, pitched from the side hill 10 feet below the level of the green and her chip, a 20-footer, went into the cup to tie the hole. In Butler's match, Swan grabbed No. 2 with a par. Larry evened it on No. 4 with a par against a double bogey by Swan who went to the right of the green, hit across it, then pitched short. Butler took the lead on nos. a ana o with pars when Swan missed the greens. A 10-loot putt on No. 8 gave Butler a 3 up spread. But the professor double bogied on No. 9 to lose it, hitting to the right of the carpet then into the trap. Numbers 11 and 12 were traded on three-putts. .' The difference was 1 up when Swan hit a fine recov ery shot and Butler chipped too far on No. 13. Larry won No. 15 with a par on a missed putt by Swan. He took No. 16 by chipping to within eight inches of the hole for a gi' me putt.
