They opened the match by hahv ing the first three holes, taking the first in par 4's, the second in one-over 5's, and the third in par 4's. Doe went one-up by winning the third in par 4, but Allen evened the match, capturing the next hole in par 4. The challenger then settled down, to win the sixth with an eagle 3. the seventh with a birdie 2, and the eighth with a birdie 3. "Allen cut the margin down by taking the 9lh with a birdie 3, leav ing Doe two-uo at the turn. Doe carded a two-under-par 33 on the front nine, to Allen's even par figure. They halved the next three holes with par each, and both faltered with bogie 5's on the 13th. Doe went thrce-up, faking ibe 14th with a par 4, as Allen went one stroke over. They halved the 15th: with par 4's and closed out on the 16th with the same count, halving that hole. second hole, Longest match of the semifinals was the battle between 18-year-old Jimmy Brass of Rollins College, j and the veteran Ed Romph of Mi- j ami in the championship consola-! tion. Brass captured it on the 21st ' hole, making par with a six-ioot putt, as Romph missed his final shot. Brass took the first four holes on the front nine, but Romph set tled down on the back nine, taking I the 11th and 12lh after Brass won the 10th.

Curtis advanced to the finals by upset-ting Medalist Charlie Put nam of Waynesvllle, one-up, in n match that wasn't decided until the final hole. The opening was characteristic of the thriller. Curtis took the first with a birdie, 3, but Putnam came right back and knotted the count, taking the long third in a par 4 after they had halved the second hole. Curtis went one-up again on the next, however, firing a birdie 3. But, after they halved the sixth with a birdie 4 each, Putnam tied it up again, chipping in for a birdie two on the seventh.

Since Bethel fielded its first football squad only last season. this year's will be a relatively green one, nut in a liure neuer snape. The lettcrmen have been through the rones, and will bo the nucleus for the 1950 outfit. Among the changes from last year is the switch from the split T offensive to the simpler single wing. This year, also, the Demons are getting heavier doses of physical conditioning and the fundament als blocking, tackling, charging and ball handling. Physical conditioning plays an important part in the workouts. since some of the boys probably will see action for four full quar ters and. as veteran coaches and players know, physical conditioning means not qnly the development of stamina for the long haul, but aj preventive against injuries. The prospects for the future are brighter, however, for most of the boys will he playing together for the next three seasons. Coach Arrington also has an alert bunch of athletes: "I gave, them some plays today for the first time." he said.' "They ran right through them the first time." . The Demons have a hard sched ule but not a discouraging one. The first victory of this season will be something of a historic oc casion, too. For it will be the first victory in Bethel's brief football history. The complete schedule: September M Biltmore at Canton (7:30 p.tn.); 29 Canton JayVees at Canton (7:30 p.m.).

The Waynesviile Invitation Golf Tournament title has left Waynes viile sHer a three-year visit. A cool-tempered young man with a hot driver, iron, and putter is tnking the 19SO championship home with him to Montgomery, Ala , ending a three-year Waynes viile monopoly on the local crown. Weldon Doe, Jr., wrapped the big silver title tray symbolic of the championship last night after turn ing back Waynesvllle's Luther Cur tii. 3 and 2.

Then he matched Curtis'g wins in the afternoon round, closing out the match on the 34th hole. Curtis's chip shots were off, but some beautiful putting exhibitions pulled him out of hot water time after time. However, his early lapse and the stocky Alabaman's consistent performance at through the match proved too much to ever coino. The Intermittent rains which lashed the contestants and gallery ites during the afternoon, halted the play' only briefly, but hamper ed the performances of bofli. The wet weather, however, did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the fans. A substantial - sized delegation I'olmved the contenders around from the first tee shot to the dos ing putts on the 18th green late vosierewv anernoon.
