GOLF OUTLOOK-1966
Early practice activity for this year's team
has been hampered with the late opening of the
Bloomsburg State College home course of Briar
Heights. Coach Craig Himes returns at the
helm of the BSC golfing fortunes after a year
of sabbatical leave. George Miller, Ray Hebert,
and Phil Haile, all starters from last year's team,
Three returning lettermen,
have graduated.
plus an outstanding transfer golfer, will be on
hand to boost the Husky hopes of having one
of the best teams in recent years.
The returning veterans, all seniors who shoot
in the 70' s, are Bill Bloom, John Kwasnoski, and
Jack Vasil. Another shot in the arm for Coach
Himes is a long-ball hitter, Alan Beily, who is
a transfer from Duke University. Beily, due
to his power and fine swing should develop into
one of the better golfers in the Pennsylvania
Sttae College Conference. Two other seniors,
who participated in some of last year's matches,
and are now vying for positions are Rick Heller
and Mike Heitz. Jim Masich and Terry Walters,
who come from we11-known golfing families, are
two outstanding sophomore prospects along with
Paul Fowler and Bill Zeares.
In addition to the regular opponents of Shippensburg, East Stroudsburg, Mansfield, Lycoming and Kings, Kutztown has been scheduled
to replace Lock Haven; the latter has discontinued golf. Susquehanna University, a newcomer to the schedule, should provide a good test
for the Maroon and Gold stickmen. Last year's
team had a 3-5 record and finished seventh in
the Pennsylvania State College tournament.
The chances of this year's team improving over
last year's record are excellent.
There are several outstanding freshmen candidates who, due to the freshman rule, will have
to wait a year for varsity competition. Several
practice matches will be scheduled for the freshmen.
