Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
The Crimson golfers finished their season on a winning note Friday afternoon by beating Trinity, 6-1, and M. I. T., 51/2-11/2. at the Concord Country Club.
The double victory gave the Harvard linksmen a winning record of 7-6, and marked a successful ending to a pretty mediocre season. "But a winning record is better than any kind of losing season." Crimson captain Fred Sherman mused.
Match Play
The scheduled medal-play meet was changed to match play at the request of M. I. T., the home team. But this strategy move, along with some lineup juggling, could not help the Engineers' cause.
Playing at number one, the Crimson's Skip Kistner tied his M. I. T. opponent, but dealt sternly with his Trinity foe, winning early in the match, 6 and 5.
Sherman, in the number-two position, won, 2 and 1, against Trinity and, 4 and 2. versus the M. I. T. man.
"It was rather an easy time in my last appearance as a Harvard jock," Sherman said after the match.
Cooch Owen, the only other senior on the Harvard squad, split his matches in the number-four slot. He beat his Trinity man but lost to M. I. T.'s number-four entry.
The only other Crimson loss on the windy afternoon came when John Stoviak dropped his match against Trinity's number-five man. 3 and 1.
Skip Barry, playing in the number-three position for the Crimson, easily handled both of his opponents, as did Andy Marks and Bill Salatich-at numbers six and seven respectively.
Marks and Salatich came up with the most one-sided victories of the day, both registering 7 and 6 triumphs. Salatich, a sophomore who won the Greater Bostons three weeks ago on the same course, had his usual fine round at Concord.
Still smarting over the Crimson's bad luck with weather this spring, Sherman philosophized, "Now it'll get to be nice weather and we'll all start playing better, but we won't have anyone to play against."
