Golfers Enter Intercollegiates

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

For the first time in more than ten years Harvard has decided to send a full team to the National Intercollegiate golf tournament to be held at Des Moines, Iowa, next month. Perhaps it was the sweep which the Crimson link-men made in the Easterns which prompted this move, but it is certain that they deserve to be there because their entry will be a strong one. The Hoddermen suffered four 5 to 4 defeats this spring, and it was only over the last weekend that they reached their peak.

In carrying off the individual crown at the Easterns, Junior Bob Graves received a just reward for three seasons of the most consistent play ever known to Harvard golf. As captain of his Freshman team, he went through the year undefeated. Last year he graduated to the No. 6 spot on the varsity and had another unblemished record. This season he started at No. 4, but was soon moved up to No. 2, where the efforts of all of his opponents produced only one halved match. Graves took all the others, but he had to work for some of them. Graves and No. 1 man Ace Cordingley form a very strong best ball due; they play together almost every day with the usual amount of side bets. To Graves Cordingley is "hunker"; to Cordingley, Graves is "meaty." Fair-haired Bob is a former Minnesota Junior title-holder, but he has never won his state amateur crown. This year he gets a real chance as the championship is played over his home course--White Bear Yacht Club for mountain goate.
