...discusses his freshman team. Bruce Thurmond led all qualifiers, both varsity and freshmen, with a 74 posted last Friday. Ted Cooney, a baseball player, shot a 76, but will only be available for the Yale match. Other outstanding Yardlings are John Parsons, Pete Malkin, Jim Jones, John Walsh, Mayer Hecht, and Dave Strasslen...
