Golf

Early in the season veteran golf coach Tom Keane commented, "There's really no outstanding player on the team this year, but we've got six darn good boys and should have a well-balanced team. Tom s statement, like his own game, has been uncannily accurate. His golfers - Al Anderson, Tom Sayles, Captain Bill Rex, Clark Weymouth, Fred Oman and Don Purple - have defeated Holy Cross, Springfield, Boston University, Harvard, Middlebury, Siena, Lowell Textile and Babson since the last report and tied for second place in both the Eastern and New England Intercollegiates. Yale won the Eastern Intercollegiates, which were held this year in a drenching rain on the Hanover Country Club course, while Connecticut took the New England crown.

Coach Keane sent the above six men into the Eastern college tournament and on the opening day of play the Dartmouth team scored 617 points (total of scores for low four men for 36 holes) to tie for second place with Boston College. Yale the defending champion - had a 14-stroke lead with a 603 score, while Penn had 621 and Princeton and Georgetown 622. Harvard's Ted Cooney won medalist honors on opening day, carding a 143 for the 36 holes. Only Dartmouth man to qualify was Fred Oman with 147. Penn's Ed Wallace beat out Murray Vernon of Yale for the individual honors. Wallace shot a 69, one under par, in the 18-hole playoff and then parred the next two holes to win on the 20th as Vernon scuffed his approach shot.

In the New England Tournament Dartmouth got 301 points to tie with Williams, while Connecticut won with 299. Held at the Oakley Country Club outside Boston, the New England Tournament medalist honors went to Harvard's Ted Cooney, who had a 71, while Dartmouth's Clark Weymouth shot a 72 for the par-71 course. Weymouth and Fred Oman, with a 74, were the only Dartmouth qualifiers. Al Anderson had a 77, Tom Sayles a 78, Bill Rex an 84, and Don Purple an 85. Fred Oman went into the quarter-finals, but lost out to Cooney of Harvard. Cooney then defeated Oman 3 and 2 and won the tournament over John Tosca of Holy Cross, 7 and 6.

In Hanover last month Captain Bill Rex shot a 5-under-par 65 to set a new record for tire Dartmouth course.

FIRST IN THE HIGH HURDLES was registered by John Chapman '56 in the triangular meet with B. U. and Holy Cross, won by the Bostonians. Chapman was hard pressed by Palmieri of B. U.
