GOLF TEAM LOSES FIRST HALF OF TELEGRAPHIC ENCOUNTER

In the first half of the telegraphic golf match with the University of Oregon the Harvard players were badly beaten. This was doubtless due in a large part to the fact that the Belmont Springs Course was very soft with slow greens and long grass whereas the Eugene. Oregon, course, as stated in their telegram, was hard with conditions excellent for play.

That the Oregon team was playing unusually good golf is testified to by the fact that Palmberg, number 3 man, broke the course record with a 6S, par being 72.

The results of the first eighteen holes for the two teams are as follows: Moelol 16. Finlay 11, Will (O) 16. Arnold 9; Palmberg (O)22; Murphy 9; Heitkemper 13, Baldwin 9.

Harvard did slightly better for the second eighteen holes, but Oregon's scores have not yet been received. The Crimson scores: Finlay 15; Arnold 8; Murphy S: Baldwin 12.
