...Your report on Franco's golf game [April 22] was incorrect. For a busy man of 73 who took up the game just four years ago, he has a fine swing. His tee shots, though not long, are straight.

...tight match all around. Harvard's Bob Kidder and Jim Torhorst stood the 13th tee knowing that if they won, Crimson would beat both teams. Williams led in one match, 3-2, and B.C. by same score in the other...

...Middies had little trouble knocking off Harvard's first three men. Brian McGuinn, Captain Mike Millis, and Bob kidder were each dumped four and three. McGuinn, at number one, was two up after eight holes, but he began to spray his tee shots on the back nine and couldn't recover...
