Golf Team Seeks Eighth Victory Against Once-Beaten Yale Today

The Crimson golf team will be shooting for its eighth win in ten starts when it faces once-beaten Yale at the Country Club in Brookline at 2 p.m. this afternoon. The two freshman squad will square off at the same time at Myopia Country Club.

Yale will be a slight favorite, but this will be the best chance the varsity has had to beat the Bulldogs in four years. The Crimson last won in 1957, and after that Yale began a 29-victory streak which just ended last Saturday against undefeated Princeton, 5-2. The Tigers beat the Crimson earlier this spring in a 7-0 whitewashing.

Leading the team at the number one position will be captain Fiske Warren, whose individual record to date matches the team's at 7-2.

The lineup has not been set after Warren, but it will include the six other starters: George Duffy, John Livingood, Bruce Johnatone, Al Lipsky, Herb Wollan, and Dave Rudnick.

Lipsky, who did not play in the first dual match with Amherst and Tufts, has the team's best record at 6-1. Rudnick follows with a 6-2-1, while Wollan and Livingood have posted 6-3 and 5-2 records respectively. Only George Duffy (1-5) and Bruce Johnstone (2-5) have slates below 500.
