Record Is Earthquake
Even before the golf season begins.

at least one record 'no matter what
else happens. About all that can
prevent the fact is an earthquake,
and that's doubtful.
The record--that the golf team will
play more matches in the seven week
season than did any other golf team
in the history of the University. At+
least 19 scheduled meets will be the
squad's and perhaps one or two more.,
This tops previous years by at least
six.
The coming southern trip, which
will take the golfers to six schools be--
low the Mason-Dixon line, affords the
margin over previous years.
