LINCOLN LIFE OF 1929 THE GOLF TOURNAMENT THE golf tournament, played semi-annually, was held this term under the guidance of John Stolt. His two capable assistants were Melvin Larson and Stanley Bloom. As the tournament began these, in addition to Archie Berg, were declared favorites. There were only two matches played in the first round. Archie Berg and Irving Schectman were the two victors, the rest of the field draw- ing byes. The second round found all four favorites winning and each entered the semi-finals. In the upper bracket Berg and Bloom played it out, and here developed the most interesting match of the tournament. Berg took the lead at the start, Bloom soon overcame it, but finally Berg, by steady playing, was Victorious. Although the match in the lower bracket between Stolt and Larson was not as interesting, it was a hard match for both golfers, and Larson finally won. The final match between Berg and Larson drew much attention from Lincoln golf fans as the two golfers were about equal. The match started with the older and steadier Berg, holding the lead, time and again young Larson fought for the lead but in vain, for the game ended With Berg two up and one hole to go. 1 The golf tournament, as have tournaments in the past, developed some fine players for Lincoln and many of the participants after graduating have brought honors to North on the links.
