THE CAMBRIDGE CLUB FIRST QUALIFYING ROUNDS The first qualifying rounds of the Cambridge Golf Club Championships were played on Saturday. The links were in the best order they have been this season, but the scores were not good on the whole. Rain early in the month had brought a growth in the fairways, to provide a good lie for all correctly played shots, and the greens were in excellent order. In spite of this, the results were not good, the south-easterly wind being blamed for most of the defections. In the senior grade, L. R. Haworth has a clear-cut lead, registering 74. His consistency oyer recent rounds brings him into favour as likely to reach the final. The next best senior was D. McCathie with 78, and K. C. Ward, whose play.during the season has stamped him as one of the favourites, was 79 to share third place with Y. G. Hollis. - ;> ■ In the intermediate section W. J. Ward leads the field with 83. Behind him.is CH. White, who went surprisingly well, and E. Nickle, one of the more steadier players, who both returned cards of 85. I. Fairbrother played his best round for some time for 86, and E. J.. F. Kennedy showed an improvement on form for 87. There are 21 intermediates to qualify for the 16 positions in match play, and every one, including W. H. Cubis, who was 101, has a chance next week, when the second round is played. The scores in the junior grade were not good, W. H. Woolley with 90 being the only one to P*ay better than his handicap. Tii place is H. E. Davys with 93, and J. W. Jeans is best of the otißfers with 94. . r & The juniors have the largest field and five of the 21 players will fail to qualify. However, the inconsistency which is always in evidence in this grade may alter the order after next week as eleven members failed to do better than a hundred. Results are as follows: .-,- -• Seniors L. R. Haworth 74, D. McCathie 78, K. C. Ward 79, V. C. Hollis 79, W. Rice 80, S. W. Holdgate 81, R. Boucher 81, F. Entwisle 82, E. A. Morrice 83, A. H.
