Captain Dickerman and Don Elbel are Harvard's two-year veterans, and at present they are playing together in the second foursome. Both are rather short off the tee but make up for this with strong chipping and putting games. Bridegroom Dickerman has been having trouble whipping his iron game into shape, but with a bit more practice he will be a strong man in the three or four position. Eible is the bear for work on the squad, spending long hours on the practice tee, and recently his diligence has begun to pay large dividends. His game has become...

Constantly eased out of camera range by Bridegroom Hazen, Miss Padelford was only occasionally visible on the television screen.
