A sharpshooting Amherst team yesterday handed the varsity golf team its third straight defeat, 4 to 3, at the Dedham Country and Polo Club. Amherst's Graf Mouen took medal honors with a 71, defeating Captain Bob Matson, 3 and 2. Matson had a 74.
118 Competitors
Paul Weissman and Dusty Burke both scored 3 and 1 victories, while Doug Wilde won his match 2 and 1. Hugh Nawn and Dave German dropped 3 and 1 matches, and Sam Seager lost 8 and 2.
Six Crimson golfers will compete in a field of 118 top-flight New England golfers this morning in the opening of the New England Intercollegiate Golf Tournament. The 16 low scorers on the Oakley Country Club course qualify for match play, which begins tomorrow.
Qualifiers Return
Six of last year's 16 qualifiers will be back, including Dick Kinchla of Boston College, individual champion in 1947 and 1949. Other returning qualifiers include two more Boston College men, and players from Boston University, University of Connecticut, and the University of New Hampshire. No varsity golfer lasted through the first round last year.
Matson, Sam Seager, and Jack Denton entered the New England Tourney last year, but Wilde, Paul Weissman, and Dave Gorman will be playing for the first time.
