Golfers Favored Over Dartmouth

Harvard should be able to club Dartmouth's top-heavy golf team today and had a three-match losing streak. But you never know.

Dartmouth has two of the best golfers in the East, and that's about it. In a golf match, a few men can't carry the whole team as they can in baseball or football. All-around strength is important and the Green just doesn't have it.

But Dartmouth sophomore Ken Kotowski is good, and Crimson coach Cooney Weiland won't be able to put up anyone who can beat him. It is also unlikely that Dave Potthoff, who made it to the quarter-finals of the Eastern Interoollegiates last week will be licked.

The Crimson golfers are hungering for a win. They have a dismal 6-7 record so far this season with only two matches to go. They must knock off Dartmouth to have a chance to finish with a .500 season, the only goal that remains.

Harvard should have no trouble fashioning a 5-2 victory at Hanover if the bottom of the lineup plays as well as it did last week against Yale. Bill Coleman, who turned in a fine 74 at New Haven, and Mike Millis, whose 75 was good for Harvard's only win, are near the top of their games.

The rest of the squad is playing creditably. Hopefully the end of a long stretch of losses is in sight.
