Second year coach Taylor will have a chance to pick out some challenging courses for his squad. Although Taylor's not a pro (many southern schools do hire pros at great expense) the team is very high on his coaching abilities.

"He's an excellent coach, with a Capital 'C'," McConnell says of Taylor. "He knows that from hockey. He's a good team man and knows how to merge people into a common interest. And most of all, he likes to win. This is an excellent combination for a college coach, just short of being a pro."

Taylor guided Harvard to a 12-3 season last year, but his squad did not fare well at the important Eastern championships, a prestigious event from which the top two teams are chosen for the NCAA's Harvard could manage only a ninth putting a damper on an otherwise successful season.

This year the team may get shots at earning an NCAA had as there exists the possibility that the law league champion will be a district representative to the nationals. A new Ivy Tournament has been scheduled for April 1920 in New Haven while the Easterns follow a couple of weeks later in the same town. May 3-4. The measure of Harvard's success this season will rest largely on these two events.

The duel meet season, which opens on April 6 against Dartmouth at the ConcordCountry Club (where Harvard will play all but one of its home meets), tends to have a bit less significance attached to it now, as collegiate golf is beginning to place more emphasis on the tournaments and tri-meets in an effort to cut the costs.

But one again, thanks to the depth and balance that McConnell ascribes to the team, Harvard should have a successful duel meet season.

"I've always said," McConnell always says, "that for northern collegiate golf, if you have five guys under 80 (matches are scored by totaling the lowest five of seven players on a team) You'll will 95 per cent of your matches."

So while Al Shealy strokes Harvard's heavyweight Eight down the Charles and Milt Holt pitches baseballs on Soldiers Field McConnell, Yellin and the Crimson linksmen will be out stroking putts and chipping the ball up to the green, as they work on lowering their scores. And while this may not sound as strenuous as other sports it is every but as important to the team.

And after the practicing and competition is over? well them we'll do our share of celebrating." McConnell summarizes "just as every other team doe
