Despite intermittent rain and a wet course, the Crimson varsity gold team took all but one match in yesterday's 6 to 1 triumph over Brown on the Wanamisett links in Providence. This marks the team's fifth consecutive victory this season.
Medalist honors went to Ted Cooney, number one Crimson golfer, who shot an 18 hole total of 70, one stroke over the 69 par for the Providence course. Cooney posted a 2-1 win over Brown's Bob Jacobson.
Brophy Loses
Jack Brophy, playing number three Bruin golfer Norm Anderson, lost out in the 20th hole of a sudden-death playoff match. Bruce Thurmond, second on the local ladder, edged Art Bell to win 1-0. Captain Dave Hedberg outstroked Bob DiSato, 4-3, which Crimson golfer Peto Malkin defeated Floyd Well, 5-4.
Number six man Jim Jones was five up on Dune MacMillan at the end of the 13th hole to win the match, 5-4. End man on the Crimson rostrum, Doug Boyd, posted a 5-4 victory over Bruin Pete Heaton to wrap up the afternoon's play.
Rain fell most of the match, but failed to bother the golfers enough to cut into scores. Weather permitting, the Crimson will play Amherst tomorrow afternoon at The Orchards, South Hadley.
