Varsity Golfers Lose Opener, 6-3

Victories by Pete Macgowan and Bill Allis weren't enough for the Crimson golf team yesterday, when the Peddiemen dropped their opening match to Holy Cross at Worcester, 6 to 3. Tomorrow, on the home links of the Belmont Country Club, the squad will take on Brown at 2 o'clock.

Playing one and two for the Harvard divot-diggers, Macgowan and Allis accounted for all the Crimson points. Macgowan won a 2-up decision over Crusader Jim O'Leary, with a medal score of 76. Allis took Bob Elliot into camp; 5 and 3. In the doubles, this pair's best ball beat O'Leary and Elliot 1 up.

No Other Crimson Winners

Other Crimson representatives didn't fare so well. In number three, Henry Shepley dropped a 2 and 1 match to Jack Mendes, and number four man Ollie Ames was raked 5 and 4 by Larry Murphy, New England Intercollegiate champion. Murphy's medal score, 74, was the best of the day.

Sophomore Art Tarlow, at number five, was trounced 8 and 7 by Joe Monahan, and Don Davis was nosed out 1 up, by Bud Graham. In doubles matches, Shepley, and Ames lost to Mendes and Murphy 2 up, and Tarlow and Davis fell 6 and 5 to Monahan and Graham.

No lineup changes are planned for the Brown match, with Macgowan, Allis, Ames, Shepley, Tarlow and Davis, in that order, slated to tee off for the Crimson.
