GOLF OUTLOOK 1967

Coach Himes states that this will be a rebuilding
With the loss
year for the Husky golf team.
of five starters from last year's team, Himes will
have to look to some untried sophomores in order
to post his second consecutive winning season.
Last year the Huskies had a 5 win-4 loss record
and finished seventh in the Pennsylvania State
College Meet.
Missing will be the fine steady play of Alan
Beily who was second medalist in the 1966 State
Meet before graduating.
Willard Bloom, John
K wasnosky, and Jack Vasil also completed their
college careers.
Terry Walters, a potentially
fine golf er, trans£ erred to another college last
year.
Holdovers from last year include Jim
Masich, a regular starter, and Paul Fowler, who
lettered as the alternate man of the team.
Four sophomores-Al Fisher, Ron Buffington,
Tom Castrilli, and Doug McRoberts-have impressed coach Himes with their varsity potential.
A number of other sophomores and juniors have
been vying for positions, and by the opening meet
on April 15, Himes will have the opportunity to
better evaluate their potential.
This has been the worst pre-season weather in
a number of years and these candidates have had
to be content with working mostly indoors. The
caliber of the state college teams is improving
each year, and if the weather breaks early enough,
this could be one of the best years of competition.
The Huskies will again use the Briar Heights
Golf Course near Berwick as their home course.
A freshman schedule is again in effect and, with
a good group of golfers, the future looks considerably brighter for the Huskies.
