GREEN GOLFERS WIN NATIONAL COLLEGE TITLE
August 1921

Led by Captain Pollack Boyd, Dartmouth's golf team snatched the National Intercollegiate Championship from a wonderful field including the five-man team of Cambridge Unversity which had traveled from England to take part in the meeting.

The first day's play gave the Drake University team from lowa, holders of the Missouri Valley Conference and Western Collegiate Championships, the edge on the meet. McKee of Drake led the field with a 76 and a 73, Sweetser of Yale and Boyd of Dartmouth following at 150, Paseur of Drake was close with 151, and Swick and Dickinson, the other Iowans, with 163 and 164 gave the Westerners the lead. The total was 627. Dartmouth with 631 was close behind with Yale third at 635 and Princeton fourth at 640. The Cambridge team was decidedly off form and took 662 for the first day's play.

Throughout the second day of the match the struggles were of nip and tuck order. Dean of Princeton played a 71 and 72, but Boyd followed on his heels with 75 and 73, and G. R. McKee further aided the Green by rounds of 79 and 78.

The final score of the meet was:

Dartmouth 1273 Yale 1274 Drake 1279 Cambridge 1280 Princeton 1280 Harvard 1316

The Dartmouth team's score was made up as follows:

Boyd 298 McKee 319 Ankeny 326 Babcock 330
