Tournament on April Ist.
Coach Herb Lauffer is waiting

round and Chris Donalies who
carried an 80 stroke average.

members shot fairly well. Coach
Lauffer seemed to be satisfied
with the progress of his team

were a lot of good individual
performances which were very
good and proved to be
consistent."
