Noble, Harper
Annex Summer
Golf Tourneys
New honors have come to two
former Penn State linksmen.
Jim Noble, of Murrysville, took
top honors in the West Penn
amateur golf championship at
Pittsburgh, while Jack Harper 11,
of State College, duplicated his
two prior victories in the annual
Central Counties title tournament
at Mt. Union.
Noble also annexed the West
moreland County Amateur cham
pionship this summer.
In the Westmoreland tourney,
Noble caved a one-over-par on
the Greensburg Country Club
course to win. Tomipy Smith, of
Greensburg, finished seventh in
the Westmoreland play with 157.
He will return to Penn State as
one of the golfing mainstays from
last year’s championship Nittany
team, Eastern title-holders.
To capture the West Penn toga,
Noble had to beat his ex-team
mate, Smith, 1 up, in a gruelling
quarter-final match. In the final
round, Noble defeated Frank Sou
chak, from Oakmont, ex-Pitt
football end, 1 up, in 19 holes.
Noble played number five man
oh the Lion varsity last season.
In the National Collegiate golf
tournament at Palo Alto, Cal., in
July, Penn State’s undefeated
Eastern Intercollegiate champion
ship golf team was forced out of
the competition in the first round.
The Lions, boasting the first
unbeaten crew under Coach Bob
Rutherford since 1938, were edged
out in first-round match play
after only two men qualified for
the tourney.
Don Hart and Joe Boyle, the
only Lions to survive the quali
fying round, dropped by the way
side. Hart lost to Art Wall of
Duke, and Roy Moe of Stanford
dumped Boyle.
Moe had previously qualified
with a 149 while Boyle checked
in with a 154. Wall had a 146 and
Hart posted 152 to qualify.

155 qualifying deadline were No

Coach Bob Higgins and four
members of his unbeaten 1947
elevrji represented Penn State on
the roster of the College All-Stars
ih: a game with the Chicago Car
dinals, of the National Pro
