Princeton Poses Last Threat for Crimson Golfers

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Today's varsity golf match against Princeton, which will get under way at 1 p.m. at Brookline Country Club, marks the end of the Crimson's most successful season in history.

Senior captain Bo Keefe, who will be playing his last match for Harvard, has led the team to its first Eastern Golf Championship, its seventh straight Greater Boston Crown, and its best match-play record in ten years, 11-2.

While the athletic department still has not decided whether the team will be allowed to go the NCAA championships next month. Harvard's invitation to play is a tribute to Keefe's leadership.

With a 9-4 season record, Keefe has held down the number one spot for the Crimson all year despite the strength of second man Bruce Lopucki and an amazing sophomore trio of Yank Heisler, Jack Purdy, and Joe Tibbetts. Since his first match for Harvard as a junior, he has rolled up a 19-7 overall record.

This afternoon, Princeton will be a fitting finale to a great year. Traditionally the best match-play opponent that Harvard faces, the Tigers will be doubly tough after the Crimson stole the Easterns from them last week at Princeton.

Princeton has gone undefeated in Ivy play. Their number two man, Mike Potter, knocked Heisler out of the Eastern individual semi-finals last Monday while three other Princeton golfers made it through the qualifying rounds.

Again today, Keefe will have to muster all his forces if he plans to make the Tiger squad the last of his victims.
