The Crimson golf team won again last weekend, but once again they had to wait for the last man to come in before they could clinch the narrow 4-3 victory over Princeton.

Seventh man Joe Tibbets played the hero role as he carded a 2 and 1 win over Princeton's Dave Levinson on the 17th hole to push the Crimson to a 12-2 final season record.

The Tigers had been runners-up to Harvard in the Easterns. Their number one man, Mike Porter, had beaten both Bruce Lopucki and Yank Heisler in the Eastern individual play-offs. And last year, their number two man, Hal Hoeland, had downed captain Bo Keefe to take the match for Princeton.

This year, Lopucki and Porter squared off in the number one slot while a Keefe-Hoeland battle shaped up in the second position. For a while it looked as if Harvard would win both matches to make the victory complete. Lopucki was two holes up and three to play at the 16th tee, and Keefe was right behind him with a one-hole advantage.

Then Porter flashed the kind of golf that made him a finalist at the Easterns. He chalked up three birdies on the last three holes--the last with a 40-foot putt on the 18th green--to take the match.

Keefe glided home two up at the end of the 18th hole in his last regular season match for Harvard.

Yank Heisler and Paul Oldfield posted the other two Crimson victories in the fourth and sixth positions. Heisler stopped Princeton's number four man on the 15th hole, 4 and 3, while Oldfield tripped Mike Baccash, 2 and 1.
