T. E. Robson and H. Nish, who had eliminated a strong pair in the Omar brothers in the previous round, continued to make progress yesterday when they defeated J. A. Luz and L. F.

Winning the first five heads, Luzi and Xavier led 7-0, but then Hobson and Nish camo back with two singles, a three and four to snatch the lead at -7, and from this stage onwards the winners never looked back.

PERFECT ROUNDS
IN GOLF "OPEN"
Leads List Of Qualifiers On St. Andrews Course.
St. Andrews, July 5. James Bruen, Ireland's 19-year-old amateur prodigy, was once again the hero of the Open Championship at St. Andrews yesterday. He led the qualifiers with two ||magnificent rounds of 69.
Having already established the record for the Old course, yes- terday he equalled Allisa' record for the Now course, for which he set new amateur figures.
This effort, which gave him a four which enabled him to fluish on the strokes lead over Henry Cotion and same mark as Cotton at 142. Lawson Little, has never been done by any other amateur except Bobby Jones who, in 1927, led the qualiders with a similar aggregate of 138,
