Golfers Beat Columbia by 13 Lose to Quakers in Medal Play

Bothered by another windy, cold day, the Harvard golf team gained a split in their second outing of the season yesterday. The Crimson, which now has a 1-2 record, beat hapless Columbia, but lost to Penn on the Quakers' home course in Norristown. Pa.

Penn finished with the low team total of the day, 399, while Harvard's top five men could only muster 405. Columbia brought up the rear, taking 412 strokes.

Captain Fred Sherman, who led the Harvard links men with a 78, commented on the match. "It was nice to get a win under our belt, but we were disappointed that we couldn't gain the sweep. After all, we started the afternoon knowing we could beat Columbia."

Tricky Creek

Individual scores ran pretty high on the par-72 Plymouth Country Club course, which was described by Sherman as "short, but tricky because of a creek which winds right through it." Equalling Sherman's 78-the low individual effort of the afternoon-was the Quaker's sophomore, Don DeAngelis. The next best score was recorded by Penn's Lee Burke, who had a 79, Columbia, which had two of seven players finishing well over 90, was led by Doug Stein's 80.

The other four scores which figured into the Crimson team total were registered by Skip Barry, 80. Skip Kistner, 81, John Stoviak, 83, and Andy Marks, 83. Marks, a sophomore who manages the freshman golf squad, was a last-minute substitute for the still-vacationing Cooch Owen.

The new medal play scoring system seems to be bothering the still-rusty Crimson. Said Sherman, "Each guy had a couple of bad holes which wouldn't have made much difference in match play. As the season progresses, we'll take care of that."
