Penn to Test Golfers Today In Tough Meet

To equal last year's 10-3 record, Harvard's golf team will have to win all the rest of its matches. And since today's contest is against Penn--a squad--which clobbered Harvard, 7-0, last year,--chances look a little weak.

The Crimson may have enough trouble getting itself in shape, disregarding Penn's always strong teams. Harvard is floundering in the trough of a two-game losing streak. The bottom half of the line-up is playing poorly, even though sophomore Jim Torhorst, who should be playing four or five, is in the seventh position.

Sophomore Bob Kidder, who was pushed all the way down to six from his initial four spot, hasn't won yet. Even steady Wayne Thornborough is begining to wilt.

The brighter side of today's match is some that Harvard will be playing Columbia, too. The Lions, not usually a threat, bowed to the Crimson, 5-2, last year.

The top of Harvard's lineup provides some sparkle. Although the first three men have just about broken even thus far, they have been battling some still competition.

Number one man Brian McQuinn should take two points today and shifty Mike Millis, even if his putter is only lukewarm, ought to take both his matches.

Lost Perfect Record

John Hawkins, in third position, lost his perfect record by dropping two matches Tuesday against Williams and Boston College. But he should score well today. Coach Cooney Weiland called his Tuesday showing "a downright freak."

Today matches will be the first this year at Harvard's regular home course, the Myopia Hunt Club. Weiland expects Myopia, which has just opened for play, to be a truer test than the layouts the team has been playing on. But that could be bad news.
