Night Stops MIT Golf Match in Tie

If daylight saving time had begun one day earlier, Harvard might have won its golf match with MIT Saturday. As it was, darkness closed in at 6:50 p.m. before three tied games could be played off, and the match ended in a 3 1/2 to 3 1/2 deadlock.

Sam Seager and MIT's Schoeffel were tied at the end of 18 holes, Bill Rickenbacker and Morrison at 19 holes, and Bob Matson and Chisholm at 19 holes. Of the four games that were finished, Harvard won two and the Engineers won two.

Mce Scores Best

Herb Mee was low man for the day with a 75. The match was played in wind and pouring rain at the Happy Valley Municipal Course, after MIT couldn't got onto its own home links.

Today the varsity meets Brown, whom it beat last year, at 2 p.m. at Providence.
