Golfers Have High Hopes

Coach "Cooney" Welland of Harvard hockey fame may not expect the same performance from the golf team this spring that he got from his champion skaters in the winter, but the coming season still looks definitely promising.

Banking on experience from last year and the play of some promising sophomore, the golfers plan on being tough contenders for the Ivy League crown.

Junior Stan Abrams heads the list of men from last year. Number two man on the 1962 team, Abrams lost only one match, for an exceptional season record. Returning with him are captain Bob Holton, Herb Wollan, and Bob Seelert. Rounding out the possible first team will be Jim Campen and Peter Tague of last year's freshman squad.

No definite ladder will be drawn up, however, until the golfers have played qualifying rounds at Duke University over spring vacation. Because of an unusually large number of contenders for positions on the team, coach Welland is taking about seven more men to Duke than he has in the past.

The absence of a golf course on campus forces the golfers to make possibly the strangest playing arrangements of any Harvard team. For home matches, the team will have to play visiting schools at Myopia Hunt Club, a full 50 miles away.
