EXCITING GOLF
UNIVERSITY CONTEST DRAMATIC SINGLES MATCH JAMIESON BEATS MOSS DECISION AT FINAL HOLE By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received March 30, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, March 29 The Inter-University golf contest held to-day resulted:—Oxford, 8J; Cambridge, 6J. The decision depended upon one of the most dramatic singles in the history of the contest. Two years ago Jamieson, the Cambridge captain, beat Moss by the colossal margin of 13 and 11, and he looked like repeating it at Formby to-day.
Jamieson finished the morning round 4: up and went on to 8 up and 10 to play. The crowd left, believing that the match was virtually over. Then Moss had such an inspired patch that he won five holes in succession. He lost the 14.th, leaving Jamieson dormy four. Moss won the next by holing a, chip shot from the back of the green.
The crowd now filtered back. The excitement became intense when Moss won the next two and the fate of the match depended upon the last hole. Moss, pitching from the rough to five yards from the pin, holed out with a gallant four. Nobody believed that, in the circumstances, Jamieson would hole a seven-foot putt, but he managed it.
