GOLF OUTLOOK 1965
In early March, twenty-two Bloomsbur,g
State Co1lege golf candidates started working
out in an indoor hitting area on campus. With
seven members from last year's team returning,
prospects for improving last year's record of 3
wins and 5 losses and an 11th place finish in the
Pennsylvania State College Meet appears promising.
Leading the returnees are two golfers,
George Miller and Bill Bloom who, if their game
shapes up early enough, will be tough competitors on most courses. These two players were
comparatively equal last year and alternated at
the one and two playing positions. Following
close behind are three golfers who have worked
hard on their game since last May with the hooe
of adding depth to the team. They are - John
Kwasnoski, Ray Herbert and Phil Haile. The
two n :maining returnees, Alex Dubil and Rick
Heller, have indicated their swings are better
grooved and better scores are in the making.
Two newcomers, who appear to be good
prospects, are Larry Edwards, Sophomore, and
John Vasil, a transfer from Keystone Junior College. Other untired candidates are Mike Heitz,
Fred Dute, Bob Marina, Ron Lovus, and Mike
Morrow. Farina and Morrow were regular
members of this year's Basketball Squad.
With the first match scheduled for April 9th,
the Squad will be cut to about eight members
by April 1st. There are several outstanding
Freshmen candidates who, due to the Freshman
rule, will have to wait a year for varsity competition. It is hoped a practice match or two
can be scheduled for the Freshmen.
