Golf Team Faces Engineers Today

By Martin R. Garay iii

The Crimson golf team begins a hectic golfing week this afternoon with a match against the M.I.T. Engineers at the Concord Country Club.

"We met the M.I.T. boys in the Florida tournament, and they said then that they were looking forward to today's match. You can bet that they'll be ready for this match: I hope we are." Captain Yank Heisler said last night.

Besides the match this afternoon. the Crimson golfers face Brown Thursday, and Princeton and Yale Saturday. The Princeton-Yale encounters, to be played on the El; golf course, will be the Crimson's most important matches this season. It would be understandable, then, if the golfers looked past the Engineers to the Saturday match.

Like Avis

This couldn't please the Engineers more. Like Avis, they would like to finish ahead of their Cambridge competitors once in a while. Against last year's Harvard squad. the Engineers came in second at the Greater Bostons, and lost their regular match to the Crimson, 4-3.

This year, the industrious, but frustrated Engineers. led during the first round of the Greater Bostons only to have an aroused Crimson team top them in the second round. A win for the Engineers would even the ledger for the past two years.

Hit Slump

After helping the Crimson through some of its early matches, Tim Schaaf hit a slump, losing three matches. He showed some signs of pulling out of the slump yesterday with a good practice round at the Brookline Country Club.

If Schaaf has broken out of his slump, he should be able to defeat his Engineer opponent. and give the Crimson enough of a margin to off-set any golfer who takes the M.I.T. challenge lightly.

Not unlike Hertz, the Crimson golfers may still be too good for the hard-driving, but still only second-best Cambridge golf team.
